The guys attend SEMA 2025 in Las Vegas, and challenge themselves to imagine what their own ‘build’ would be like. They take on an “impossible debate” from Jeremy H., who grew up on muscle-car culture but loves modern, sharp-handling sports cars. Then, Patrick W. owns a Golf R, but wishes for something more engaging and pretty to look at. Social media questions ask what sort of design lines suggest a car will age poorly; and is it better to be coached on high-performance driving in a non-sports car on a racetrack, or experiment with a sporty car on a canyon road?

Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.
