Flock vs the Range Rovers; Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider Review

1 hour 39 minutes

Matt Farah has some spicy thoughts on his drive in the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider; he and Zack Klapman discuss the terrifying situation between Flock cameras and Range Rovers; the Manx is even better now; and Patreon questions include:

When will Audi etron GTs bottom in price?

Quirk battle: Pajero vs Jimny

Should a seller supply the PPI?

Should this Canadian trade their car for a motorcycle?

Mercedes used to be the tech leader. Who is it now?

Common car enthusiast financial mistakes.

The car with the most diverse fan base is...

The OEM we think would "win" the Goodowood FOS

Ugly cars that drive great

Do nannies REALLY ruin the thrills?

Is carbon fiber trim the boomer chrome of our time?

And more!
