The guys review the confusing Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, drive the $34K Subaru WRX through Wales, and examine spy shots of a ducktail Porsche 911 GT3 mule. Plus: a Little League president steals $64,000 for BlueChew, a Florida woman gets a license plate that says SQUEEZE A**, and Seattle's favorite raccoon, Jimothy, earns his rightful place in internet history.

Jonny just got back from Goodwood and drove the new entry-level Subaru WRX. His verdict: for 34 grand, it punches way above its weight. Back stateside, Jonny puts the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS T-Hybrid through its paces. The 3.6-liter single-electric-turbo hybrid setup makes 532 hp and 449 lb-ft, hits 60 in 2.7 seconds, and costs $206K base. That's Turbo S performance from six years ago, basically.
Spy shots of a Porsche 911 GT3 test mule with a ducktail spoiler have the crew speculating: fixed-wing touring package, tribute model, or a 4.2-liter farewell variant? Nobody knows, and that's half the fun.
Spike and Zuckerman recap the Treasure State Cars and Coffee in Culver City, a curated gathering that surfaced gems like Bruce Meyer's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase. The real debate: why does Los Angeles, a city drowning in great cars, still not have its own major concours?
The broader auto industry conversation touches on VW Group financial trouble, potential model cuts, Lucid layoffs, and Chinese EV brands quietly eating Toyota's lunch in international markets. Ferrari, meanwhile, is auctioning Chassis 00 of the Luce at RM Sotheby's during Monterey Car Week for charity.
Spike also walks through the stunning Bizzarrini 5300 Aperta Lusso and discusses whether younger collectors are cooling on 1960s classics in favor of modern hypercars. Jimothy the raccoon. Google him. You're welcome.
