Big bold styling. Excessive horsepower and amounts of interior leather. Divisive looks. You guessed it; it's the Lamborghini Urus. The boys have a lot of opinions about this car. Donny is pissed that it was not an LM002. Jeff doesn't know what an LM002 is. Walter is confused by the Italian horsepower; CV or cavallo vapore.
And in other news, Ferrari launches a new supercar. The F80 M3. Wait, that's not right. We think it's just the F80. Were not sure. Every time we search for it we get BMW Forums. Oh well. We talk about it anyway.

While Jeff paints the baby room, Walt and Donny kick back and talk cars. A conversation about Porsche Taycan sales, the recent acquisition of Ohlins by Brembo, and the debut of the BMW Skytop quickly devolves into a trail of skepticism regarding cloud-based features (culminated by the bankruptcy of Fisker), autonomous driving, and inductive charging concepts. Strap on your tinfoil hat and enjoy the deep dive.

Walter and Jeff don't mind conversing without Donny, and it turns out they have a lot to talk about.  New supercars for one, but also watches and watches and watches.  A new LVMH partnership for Formula 1, a new Omega Speedmaster release, Walter buys something...  Listen in for all the details.

Two episodes in a row! You listeners are so lucky. The boys review Walter's obsession: The Porsche 718 Spyder RS and GT4 RS. Walter mansplains Porsche things. Donny explains how to use wheels to make Chicago Style Deep Dish pizza. Or casserole. You decide. Jeff reminds us that he would rather have a Mustang. Or a Mazda 3 Turbo!Walter introduces the 'Dream Garages'.

Finally, Jeff has returned to his mic after a sabbatical, or something. The boys talk about the McLaren Speedtail. Donny educates everyone on 'gravel wagons' and Gordon Murray's aptitude as a car designer. Some say the best in the world. Naturally, the episode gets derailed, but hey, that Speedtail would look dope slammed. Jeff announces an upcoming delivery. Walter does Walter.

Walt and Donny are back at it. No one can be sure, but Jeff is still gone, and some people say that he was whacked. By Walt and Donny no less. 
Ruf announces a bucking Rodeo! and Lamborghini is going to sell you a 10,000 RPM engine. Tuthill, who Donny has never heard of, also surprises the Billionaire Car Buyers Club with the GT One. Naturally Walter wants one and is deluded enough to think he will get one. 
Put on your racing harnesses, cause its a wild ride, but not as wild as that Rodeo!

Jeff was too busy working second shift to keep us in line, so Walt spends the whole episode justifying his latest terrible car purchase to Donny and they both get very off-topic along the way. Also some news at the end if you make it that far.

After saying they'd review the car for months, the boys finally sit down to discuss the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350/GT350R.  It takes half the episode just to say the full name of the car.

The other half of the episode is spent laughing at Donny for nearly lighting himself on fire.  Don't try this at home, kids.  He's an Eagle Scout.

Jeffrey has gone missing, but Donny and Walter don't really care. Everyone was relieved that they didn't need to hear Jeff compare everything to his much superior Mazda 3, again. 
Donny listens to Walter talk at length about his strong opinions about the brand new Porsche 911 (992.2 generation) including how cool the hybrid tech is and how dumb the start button is. The boys then discuss the BMW concepts, and even though Donny and Walter are both BMW fans, they are at odds over the concepts. 
And in yet more shocking news, we don't review the GT350, again. But don't worry, you already know the outcome; The Mazda 3 is better. 

Support the show

The boys attempt to discuss the GT350, only after a 2 month wait. However, Walter decides to mention something that sends the entire show off the rails. Donny explains some questionable taste he has. Jeff. Well Jeff is Jeff, bless his heart. 
What did you expect? Maybe next time they will review a car instead of searching Facebook Marketplace for beaters. 'Hey Jamie, can you pull that up?'

Jeff and Walter go off-subject for a whole episode!  We're talking about Watches and Wonders '24, the industry's biggest convention that just wrapped up in Switzerland.  Our focus is on the big releases we liked and didn't (really, Rolex?) and once again it's just some regular guys talking about things we're unqualified to discuss.

The conversation includes Rolex, Bulgari, Cartier, Oris, Breitling, and many others!
