Top 5 OEM Engine Swaps

The theme show returns! Matt Farah and Zack Klapman choose their top 5 favorite cars that got their engines from different company than the one that designed and built the car. Think Mercedes engine in a non-Mercedes. Surprisingly, Matt and Zack only overlap on one car. There's also an update on clingy M3 steering fittings; a discussion of tartan placement; and questions from the Patreon members including: - Which company should close their doors: Maserati, Chrysler, Nissan, or Jaguar? - At what point do you sell your high-maintenance daily? - How did we react to the Dodge Neon SRT-4? - Where will Rivian be in 5 years? - What is the stupidest "performance" modification? - Which era had the best clothing? - Beautiful cars that don't get enough attention - It's the year 2040. What 3 early 2000s cars do you buy to cosplay rich person? - Should Hyundai make a $200,000 EV sports car? - What is the difference in feel between a Ferrari V12 and a Lamborghini V12? And more!
