Matt is back from an 1,100 mile drive in the Lexus LC500 and has notes; Zack talks about the lawsuit against Toyota regarding its hydrogen cars (something he knows all too much about); some kittens get rescued; and questions from our Patreon members include:

• What has better steering feel than a Porsche?
• Best car to take your dad for exciting rides
• Thoughts on Lexus' new halo car
• Why do some models remain icons for decades while others fade away?
• Our opinion of the GNX
• Why you don't supercharge a C4 Corvette
• Small 4x4 to replace my Miata?
• I need a cheap, cool, warm-weather convertible
•  
• And more!
