EV Track Days can be Scary; Theft; Q&A
Matt Farah is back from being the hot shoe for Road & Track's Performance EV of the Year test, where cars were slid, went fast, scared a motorcyclist, and even gave Matt a little "brown moment". He gives us some incredible stories (without giving away the winner) from the test. Something was stolen from Zack Klapman. Then we answer Patreon questions including: Which $40k-$80k Porsche for topless summer fun? How will EV power-trains let automakers change designs? Is the M5 trying to be a Bentley? How much of a car is built by the car company vs suppliers? Will hybrid systems halt the development of ICE engines? How do I get inspired to take car photos? Should I test drive a car I love before I buy it? How to solve the X3M Comps stiffy problem? IS the C6 ZO6 the right step from a Miata? How to avoid burn out? Can you be content with a car? Why are 2020 Nissan GT-Rs holding their value? Recorded Sept 2, 2024 Head over right now to https://www.getmainelobster.com and use promo code TIRE 10% off all orders plus free shipping.
