If you think a 1960s Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is going to feel like a racecar, Sam has news for you. Spike then drops the wildest California history you probably never heard: how Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys let the Manson Family move in, and how two separate Ferrari 275 GTBs got destroyed in the process. One was rolled so badly it was crushed down to the steering wheel before a full restoration brought it back. On the modern side, the group breaks down the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring vs the 911 S/T, Andreas Preuninger's steering recalibration after customer feedback, seat choices, and why GT2 RS values keep climbing. They also get into the Fiat Grande Panda as a daily driver, the retro Renault 5 and 4, and how Chinese brands like Jaecoo and BYD are forcing legacy European automakers to lean hard into heritage and history. Also on the docket: left-lane campers getting the punishment they deserve, a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE with 3,709 km listed at Gooding and Company at Pebble Beach, a Buzzfeed list of the most disgusting things found in men's apartments, and Monterey Car Week plans. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Seen Through Glass 05:20 - Sam driving a Rivian at Joshua Tree 07:43 - Why Angeles Crest is so dangerous 08:47 - Sam driving a pristine Ferrari 275 16:35 - The state of Jonny's Porsche 914 17:42 - The Charles Manson Beach Boys Ferrari 24:30 - Why the Porsche GT3 S/C is so good 34:12 - The Fiat Panda is so underrated 37:03 - Chinese cars dominating every market 41:43 - Driving in Europe vs America 47:36 - Untouched 1979 Mercedes-Benz Wagon 52:54 - The worst things that guys do Learn more about your ad choices.
