Matt Farah reviews the 2025 Bentley Flying Spur Speed and has a conundrum regarding its hybrid power-train; Zack Klapman's BMW unfixed a new part of itself; what car do we want to be (but what are we really); and we answer Patreon questions including:

Is the W202 Mercedes C43AMG exciting enough to buy?

How to store your watch bands.

Favorite car-related activity?

$30k-40k for a fun, used, sport touring sedan

How do fleets of cars and buses get bought, anyway?

 Best track rental: Porsche GT4RS or Corvette Z06

A future where all cars bearing an automatic-transmission are EV and all ICE cars are stick-shift?

Keep mag ride for my track toy or ditch for coilovers?

Why is Ferrari allowed to sell cars in California?

And more!
