projector lamps are the worst on gm and hondas

Speaking of joy, one of the most joyful drives I've ever had was in a Civic HX hatch with manual trans, manual steering, about 1900 pounds, and well under 100 HP. Big glassy view out, infinite feel through the tiny tires, and could drive 10/10. Would hoon again.

I see this car as an upgrade for Nissan GTR R35 owners. Hense why Jason C loves it so much. /s

I see the Ioniq 5 N as an upgrade path from a GTR R35 and that's why Jason loves that car. /s

Volvos are peepeepoopoo

My cousin has one of these it's the twin plenum sounds awesome. ruclips.net/video/Nhew2x6Mrdw/видео.htmlsi=MjHVMx4hMpcYRO5C

My L322 doesn't know if its coming or going and my Alfa spider doesn't speak Italian...I'm good!

As a Hagerty member, I agree

The Lucid Air is only 6 inches longer than the current gen BMW M3. Also, savagegeese' review described it as "the evolution of the sports sedan" 😅

I love how Derek just goes off with no cheat sheets or teleprompters Sacco Mercedes guide next?

Derek's parents may be cooler than Derek.

I'm a Canadian tech and privacy lawyer. Jason mentions that the driving behavior data collection and sale would probably not be legal in Europe under the GDPR. It would not be legal under Canadian privacy laws unless car owners gave explicit informed consent - ie not buried in a manual or policy. In fact, the data broker industry as it exists in the US violates Canadian Privacy laws. My only car magazine claim to fame is a letter to the editor that was published in Feb 2018 Automobile Magazine where I questioned what auto manufacturers would do with our data. I said "I'm not eager to share my driving data with an insurer so an algorithm designed by a bureaucrat who buys cars based solely on colour will penalize me if I have an occasional harmless heavy foot on either pedal." And I asked the question about car companies "Will they avoid purpose creep and resist the temptation to use, sell, or share personal information for new things or to governments or insurers who want it for specious reasons?" I guess we now know the answer to that.

I have vague memories of when speed cameras were put on the DC beltway. They were rumored to have taken politician pix with women not their wives. The cameras were subsequently removed. Need to start signature campaign to legislators who drive fast cars. :)

Owner of a 2023 Civic Type R and also work for Honda, this is not a thing lol.

Haha. I had a f10 535d loaner. I went though a big compression and it felt like the car bottomed out. Only on this podcast did I learn I just hit the metal bumpstops

Good show, but perpetrating the cost cutting myths after merger. The SL was not really affected, other than modular engines. A/C unit same as in the W140, praised for its build quality, Nappa leather not cheap, and post 2nd facelift models got the V12 Brembo brakes (ventilated f & r) as standard, with 17 inch wheels. You should try a late European V6. My SL280 has 204hp only but much lighter engine corners flat with little understeer and is perfect for french country roads.

Just made my voice heard thus year and bought a GTI SE in blue. Took a month between negotiating and them finding one in the right color/ spec. Sad that it's the final year to be able to buy one

One of the best episodes yet

I have been bitching about the brightness of lights, (ESPECIALLY GM TRUCKS) for years. However, this is not limited to civilian vehicles. Law enforcement and emergency vehicle flashers have gotten so bad, that you can’t even look in the direction of the road when you are within 200 yards of them. Not stopping there…signage on the road has gotten obscenely bright as well, to the point that when your lights hit them, you can’t even read what the sign says.

44:53 Derek is right: I remember there was a time (during 90s even?) most sold 4x4 were subarus (90ish%) world wide!

Basically it's the same shape and styling and goes a little faster

NC 2 or 2.5.

Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

I liked this episode. Jason makes an emotion based statement, and hyphen corrects him with unflappable logic. My only suggestion is that hyphen should start his counter point with, "Jason you ignorant slut." :)

Video repeats itself. How annoying. It's only 30 mins long

Excellent discussion; sad conclusion😢 I wanted a new manual car before they’re all gone. Plan is to keep it for 8-10 years and enjoy the engagement of 3 pedals. I was lucky to get an allocation for a Cayman GTS 4.0 in this final model year. Agreed that 3 pedals work best with a naturally aspirated engine, and in the Cayman, it’s glorious. It will share my garage with a daily driver EV, because that’s their strength. But weekends and road trips will be the realm of a flat 6 wail paired with 3 pedals.

How betrayed do we all feel ? This episode hits the nail on the head. And the auto industry should listen up.

Jason, Cleetus McFarland bought a grass airstrip but even more interesting was this random Navy pilot who spent 7 years as a POW in Vietnam. The guy was cool as shit and possibly lives in an RV that he parked next to tiny hanger he keeps his pre-WWII biplane. Go watch it now, It’s completely batshit and freakin’ amazing.

Worse still, chevy bolt, that monstrosity has the brake light down in the bumper area, while still have lights up there that serves as night time running light only. So during a sunny day, when a bolt in front of you start to brake, what you think is the brake light doesn't light up (the middle mounted light does nothing and we all know that now) and what lights up makes you think it's just your regular reflector shining under the sun, because guess what, every other car has the reflector down in the bumper and brake light up on the hatch except this thing.

This is a most curmudgeonly episode topic. Well done.

12:45 Bugatti W16 quad turbo sounds like an airplane jet engine. I’ve heard it revved in real life and it is the most aircraft-like sounding car I’ve heard

It would be great if you were not interrupting Jason constantly, makes it hard to watch

About dash cameras. What happened to that white mustang 350 doing 120 +++ on the shoulder of the bridge?

I suppose what are the ethics of hacking the system, jamming the system, or otherwise jamming it? Why not :P

In the past, the Hyundai Blue Link app default setting was to collect your data. If somebody didn't tell you or you didn't monkey around with the app, you wouldn't know. There was a point where you could go in and turn it off. Now if you look at the Blue Link app now, they've done away with it. I've got a really brilliant one. My best friend's wife was getting a discount for her good driving record, and not driving a lot. She works from home and would drive him to work daily which was a 10 mile round trip. When I moved to the area, I started driving him back and forth to work for her. After a month, her insurance company contacted her and asked why she's driving even less. Get this... They dropped her discount for not driving a lot, because she was not driving ENOUGH.... 😅

I am interested in your thoughts on plug in hybrids. Seems to me that they can mask a lot of those annoying delays like turbo lag with the electric motor and get full electric commute but still be viable for longer trips. I still can't consider a full electric as my only, or even main car. I frequently go on 300 mile trips over mountains and stay at friends houses who don't have chargers. I don't want to spend my valuable trip time at a charger. A plug-in hybrid seems like a nice middle ground for now.

Having worked in the tech industry the last 24 years, this isn't even the worse that will happen with cars.

N definitely stands for Nurburgring

what most people don't know, you can go and unplug the control unit that does the reporting

Guessing you haven’t watched any of Derek’s solo Issimi vids. Jason overtalks the entire time. Derek is calm and collected. Would rather watch an adult than a child.

At the other end...what moron decided that it was good idea to turn on back-up lights when somebody clicks their keyfob. It was doubtless sold to management as a security feature for people getting out of tier cars in the dark. After waiting 2 or 3 times for somebody to back-up because their back-up lights are on, only to find out that there is nobody in the car, most people will just start ignoring them.

texas brexis joke was fire jake

haha, Two Volvo family here and anonymity is a good thing but I also have a fun car.

you mentioned Waze. what stops Waze from ratting you out?

Same here why I went with a Tesla. Had bmw for weekend and Prius for commute. Had to cut back and got a performance. Dump both bmw and Prius and now I have one car.Now my EV saves me money and I have serious power when I need it

The last one lolll, you mean public transportation???

So how far back to go to avoid this kind of intrusive monitoring? 2010? 2000?

So glad we have Data Protection Laws in the UK

Jason: The new M3 is not good. Everyone: why? Jason: I don’t like it. Everyone: that’s not enough Jason: Erm, fake noise, yep, and it’s not as good as an E46 M3
