Spike, Jonny, and Zuckerman take the stage live at the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for their annual charity show. They break down the biggest reveals from The Quail, dig into collector car market trends, and field Q&A from a crowd that clearly knows too much about cars.

Recorded live at Pebble Beach, this one covers a lot of ground. Jonny recaps The Quail, including the manual V8 McLaren MCL6 GT, the 850-horsepower Aston Martin Valiant, the Brabus Bodo, and Gordon Murray Automotive's $8.5 million SV S1. Then there's the Singer x Louis Vuitton collab, which Spike is not thrilled about, versus the Toy Story Porsche 911 GT3 RS at Werks, which actually pulled kids into the hobby.
On the collector car market trends front: a pristine 4-cam Porsche 356B Carrera GS/GT hammered at $280,000 (about half its estimate), signaling softening values across vintage classics. Meanwhile, Carroll Shelby's personal 1964 Daytona Cobra Coupe sold for $42 million, the most expensive American car ever at auction. Paul Zuckerman breaks down why that gap exists, and then pivots to legally dissecting a Fish and Wildlife officer who tased a man pumping gas and set him on fire. Common sense, people.
The audience Q&A gets into: enthusiast cars under $100k (Toyota MR2 revival, AMG CLA 45 EV, Subaru Solterra), best sedans for airport runs, whether auction buyers are investors or enthusiasts, the PPF debate (Spike says no, Jonny says yes, Zuckerman compares it to plastic sofa covers), first cars for teenagers, and the first brand-new cars each host ever bought. Spike got a Boxster. Zuckerman got a dark blue E39 M5. Nobody made a bad call.
