  • We go through our new M3 vs M3 video (G80 vs F80); Matt tells us about his brand new kitten they rescued; we discuss strange branding; Chevy makes us have a strange phone call in order to drive the new Z06 around town; and we answer Patreon questions about:
    - The gov. mandate for automatic braking
    - What BMW is doing
    - Could the hypercars of today existed back in the '90s?
    - Can I buy a good 997 Porsche 911 for under $50k?
    - Is it worth stretching my budget to get a 2020 Macan vs a 2017?
    - When is an Audi S3 better than the RS3?
    And more!

    Suggestion for TST crew: To improve the shelf life of rev share for your video archive, consider releasing new compilation/marathon videos consisting of your old videos (ie. JDM legends, Super Saloons, Ratchet viewer cars, year end compilations, etc etc)

    I can 100% guarantee an influencer is the reason behind that safety meeting. That’s what the OEMs get for treating them like journalists.
    Mitsubishi logo used to be pressed into pills back in the late nineties early 2000s. Tesla logo has been used as well.

    Correction 45:10
    F8x had S55 not B58. S55 is a M derivative of N55. S58 in the G8x is a derivative of B58.
    Edit: Unless Zack is talking about N55 and S55 in M2/M2C

    In middle school, our cat had kittens. One of them got into the engine compartment of my mom's '84 Accord. He rode about 12 miles to my school and came running out from under the car in the pickup line. He was a black cat, and we named him Lucky. Great cat.

    With the auto braking, I wish there was some customization as opposed to on/off. All for helping out with an accident or rear ending but when my Taycan refuses to back up in my drive way too close to a bush, it can be a real pain in the ass (and like you described, once it gets scared by the bush, it's too worked up to drive again for a second or so).

    As an Aussie that doesn't use the word "Truck", except for what Americans call "Semi's", I had always thought that saying Truck for Suv was because both are body on frame, and that the Unibodies were then referred to as SUV's or Crossovers, but I guess it is more loose and slang in definition than I'd guess

      That market is declining, the Chinese cars that are "growing" into other markets are due to a downturn in local sales, not an increase in production. BMW are selling cars, just not to men.
