Howdy May, when are you coming back to Ireland with your old pal Oz?, Oirish. 😆

Matt the top of guy who bashes conservatives yet lives in a place where RVs are the normal to live in.

tiffs lack of knowledge on certain things is shocking,considering his job

Cars that we missed out on should definitely include the Xterra

There's something called a secured credit card that helps people build credit

Here in Portugal we have people making minimum wage that live with their parents, taking 120 month loans to buy base 1 series diesel shitboxes

BMW Z4 M40i starts at 46:03

Comparing a c8 to a z06 is not a valid comparison. The c8 has been out much longer and they made 160k of them. Versus like 6k z06s. You can also walk into a dealer and get 10% off leftover 2024s... Versus having to wait a year for a z06 and probably paying a markup over sticker. A much more valid discussion would be looking at 2021 c8s and comparing pure base model c8 with a 63k sticker versus a fully loaded vert z51 3lt with every carbon fiber trim box ticked that had a sticker of 100k and seeing what those sell for today and discussing how much of your money you might get back today

You guys should check out the Christopher Ward collection that has a design influence and piece of some of the most iconic cars from history. I think there was 4 may have been 1 or 2 more. There was definitely one inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO, a Jaguar D-type and Ford GT40. I have the C9GT40, and has a bit of one of the knock off wheel nuts in the back from the chassis that won the 66 and 67 le mans 24 hours. They were all really cool watches with a part of history actually in them....they were released about 10 years ago with very limited numbers not sure you'll find one for sale today. There was only 40 of the C9GT40 for example

Y'all were talking about the Alpine not being sold in the US. I saw an a110 driving on i10 between San Antonio to Houston. I wonder how they pulled that off

I feel like the first instance of the "leave a man behind" was the £1500 Porsches back in Season 5. And as one of those nerds, James' Capri in RWD Sports Cars didn't make it either, which he then had to complete the trip in a Morris Marina.

I love seeing a Tesla hater getting his "facts" shot down with actual facts. Clown!

30:50 the old saying is “you can live in your car, but you can’t drive your house to work.” Add to that the post 2008 housing protections, much smarter to default on a mortgage than a car if you had to make the choice (at least in some cases)

I paid on a used RV for four years and still had to make up five grand in negative equity when I sold it, that was in 2022… Only upside I had a place to live and park during that time and my only expenses were gas occasionally, time to dump the tanks occasionally, and a few repairs. Definitely came out on top but one major repair could or screwed me. It was surprisingly easy to get financed on it though, I did $2500 down payment on a 55k loan at 3.99 APR (15years)

This guy rocks!

I'm so proud of my town. There is a huge multi million dollar project in progress that will narrow the lanes, add a center left turn lane, bike lanes and two roundabouts to remove 4-way stop signs.

Great episode, thank you!

Total man logic by him thinking losing more money but less percentage is better lol 😂

Haha torrents based

Great episode, too much info for me to soak it all in while working today but I'll give this another listen later

this guy is legit, both podcasts with him have been super interesting!

Boring

What’s the deal with the table,

It changed in 2024 if you transfer to dealer they won't come back after the dealer nor the taxpayer if they don't have enough in liability as long as you are under the income cap. It is only nonrefundable if you don't transfer now. "If you do not transfer the credit, it is nonrefundable when you file your taxes, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes."

If you can't afford two 911s you can't afford one? Gtfoh

Nothing like Matt’s douche bag attitude saying his podcast did great the last time John was on. You got 12k views that’s not great by any stretch of the imagination

“Allegedly” breaking the law. Hiring attorney to get away with it. Then getting paid to read an ad boasting about all of it. Well played.

I'm another "not a watch guy". I understand why people enjoy wearing or collecting them, it's just not my deal (like cars). That said, this was still supremely enjoyable!

Some kind of competition who can use the word heinous more times in a single podcast. Matt or Doug?

I went through a similar thing with my mom and car advice. She also chose a Lexus RX in the early 2000s and has been happy with it ever since.

Matt is the Bernie Sanders of Car media. Complaining about the rich (majority of the world would define Matt as wealthy btw, let alone majority living of CA) “another way the rich are fucking us” he is apart of that club he’s critiquing. 😂 common of liberals to play victims of a group they tend to be apart of.

Leasing an EV makes a lot more sense then buying it !

Oh God now we have both Matt and Doug say heinous.

They managed to both make me feel good and then bad about ordering a Z06, great episode though! It blows me away people are financing vehicles for 7 years and longer though, I get it if you just don’t have any other choice, but that should be a rare occurrence.

Owning an electric vehicle is immoral. You're not saving the planet. If anyone believes getting credits from the government goes to the country with the mines and slave labor, is either naive or without any values and morals. You are reinforcing the massive problem.

I'll buy an electric car when I can go to a filling station and fill up in 5 minutes like I can with my gas powered car.

Woodside credit does 144 month loans.

That 1.5% rule-of-thumb is a convenient metric. 👍🏼 Curious what he thinks about that ridiculous RS E-tron GT single-pay one year lease. $300/mo on $150k MSRP is like 0.2%🙃

Also with how fast the tech is changing I wouldn’t be buying an EV. Lease all day. I leased an Ionic 5 and it’s already changed battery tech and the charging port in just 2 years.

In my opinion, it's not what the algorithm wants, it's what people want to listen to. Car enthusiasts are now obsessed with the value of their vehicle ever since prices started to change for the better and the advent of online car auctions. Car values are right in your face all of the time constantly changing
