This podcast is birth control for buying old sports cars.

[@GPFaster1]

correction: "real" sports cars. I agree, an EV or hybrid will never be considered a sports car by intelligent enthusiasts. Doug has his moments, but his adoration of "tech" over the substance that makes a car great is his biggest downfall. But hey, he makes coin because the majority of humanity are stupid sheep.

[@floyd_v10]

@@floyd_v10I kinda get what he was saying. Prior to this podcast I sought after any E39 M5 as i t’s my absolute favorite sedan ever, But after hearing Kennans experience with his own I have no desire to own one now. I’m like Kennan in a way, very ocd about cars and paying attention to detail also I’d do what he does and basically daily the car. But the maintenance cost to keep the car running is outrageous, without them disclosing those cost I’d be underwater on one right now.

[@John_Hoover]

Kennan had a great week - only had to spend about $400 on the M5. Let’s see what next week brings.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Almost a week game now

[@lsltigeking]

I think Kennan is taking himself for a ride. While this makes for hilarious content and love to hear about it he could just as easily sell that car and make up a bunch of stories about the repairs without actually spending anything 😂 But ultimately it’s his choice to spend his money and he chooses.

[@julianevans9548]

Kennan, buy a car to commute in - maybe it'll save you a bit in repairs to your M5. Something like a Nissan Leaf, even. It doesn't have to be good to trundle through traffic. Any cheap car that can save wear on your M5.

Hi Nick, me being a 17 year old have watched Top Gear Twice in my life time.

I think that is a crazy take on the 100 series. 80 series looks SO much more special. I do agree the 100 is better in every way except for looks. I think to get to $150k you also have to have looks going for you. That said, I think i'll be buying a less special 100 series for $14k or so.

People will still say you can’t call a corvette a supercar🙄

[@ejethan123]

Because a super car has a certain amount of prestige and rarity to it. Corvettes typically don’t have that. The ZR1 may convince me however…..

The normal ones aren’t rare, this though might cost like $300,000 to $400,000.

People are i*i*ts. However - no matter how you call it still does what it does. 🤷‍♂️

[@sleeper207]

​@@ejethan123Nop - it has nothing to do with prestige or rarity - it's a sports car with increased performance and that's it. And corvette is exacly that.

[@moey505]

The most impressive nameplate revivals are the Fiat 500 and the Mini Cooper. Both had the same ethos and styling as the originals despite hugely different restrictions and were huge mass market successes

[@josebrown5961]

I am an American sized person and traditionally laughed at tiny little cars. I was on a business trip and the rental company only had Suburbans, or Fiat 500s. I had no desire to try and park a Suburban so I took the Fiat. Wow what a fun little ride! My mind was opened to the fun of super small cars, not enough to give up my G35 but enough to use them whenever I traveled for business. (My comptroller liked it too.)

[@biznatcho7]

Nick and Sam need to be regulars on the podcast.

[@mchlchristensen]

I don’t wish any ill-will on Kennan, but watching Doug react to his latest M5 issues is absolutely hilarious

For Nick (and his wife's vehicle, specifically): Feel free to consider a used X5 45e. I own one, and it's pretty good imho, if you can live with a 2 row. Used examples can now be found under $40k, PHEV (~30mi ev range), etc. fwiw.

[@V8Supercar1]

Lets be honest here. I don't care what Chevy says about why this thing has a 1000hp. But no way were they gonna allow a Mustang to outperform their ZR1. I firmly believe the biggest reason they are pushing this car to 1000 hp, is because of the Mustang gtd.

[@TrulyZer0]

I soldered a new key battery in my diamond key myself when I was 18, and I'm not particularly talented with a soldering iron.. sending a $150 key across the country seems a bit excessive. But hey, $60 a piece isn't bad.

Given that Nick is stuck in the 00s with regards to cars, it is really surprising he hasn’t watched much Top Gear.. I agree with Doug a good starting point for him could be the cheap car challenges or the Toyota Hilux bit, I’d also throw in the races against the different modes of transport

[@scottgabbard662]

Nick is so chill in a good way…

[@XxM3TALGUMxX]

The GTR is probably the greatest nameplate revival, granted it was a trim level turned into a nameplate but the same could be said about the CGT. The shockwave it created when it released brought every manufacturer to shame performance wise. Cheaper, faster, longest lasting. Sure it may have over stayed its welcome but it still puts up a solid fight til this day. Nothing before or after has done what the GTR did. The ford gt came out but it had competition and didn’t really stand out, even the newer model… it wasn’t as profound of a release to the rest of the automotive world.

[@jacobd1432]

It’s almost like during the E39 design briefing BMW put up a poster of Kennan and said “we HATE this guy, he’s gonna buy one of these and he MUST suffer”

Answer to last question re: name plate revival... MINI COOPER!! The Fiat 500 was done pretty good too, though... Closer to home, I personally really liked the Challenger when Dodge rolled out the new version... And although we didn't get it here, I'm a fan of the 'new' VW Scirocco based on the Golf R that they rolled out but have since canceled again...
