1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Miller and I'm Hannah Elliott, and this is

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: hot pursuit.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Hannah. We have a lot of cool things to talk about,

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: among them air fresheners.

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean this may seem like an inconsequential part

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: of the automotive world, but I would beg to differ.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: If you start asking people what their opinions are about

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: how a car should smell like or not smell like,

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: and whether they should have an air freshener in there,

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some strong reactions.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: Yes, so I think it's an interesting and I've had

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: some good and bad experiences. Also, we got a lot

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: of responses to our question about which engines sound the best.

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Portia has an overwhelming upper hand in this in this category.

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, but we got we got some very creative responses,

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: I would say, and I mean or is pretty expected.

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: But we did have multiple people ride in and talk

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: to us about their jeeps. We had some people mentioned

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: the original Viper V ten, which I thought was kind

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: of cool. My mom likes the Viper, but.

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: She likes the look of the Viper, probably not the sound,

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: because I think the comment on the sound of the

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Viper was it was like a bag of rocks or

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: I can't remember. I'm going to look it up right now.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Well, I think the guys had said that he liked it,

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: but it was odd and it sounded exactly like the

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: UPS truck from that era, and he knows because he

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: drove one back then.

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: That was kind of I like that. I love that

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: was a creative response. And then we got someone else

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: who said the best sound is the sound of the

33
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: garage door opening.

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: I thought that was brilliant, you know, because it's so true.

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: I go down to my garage and I pushed this button.

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: The garage door opener is like twenty years old, and

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: so you had to push hard, and then when the

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: door starts to open, I'm like, yes, yeah, you know,

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm finally gonna get out on the road. And it

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: is such a good sound. Also, that same guy said

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: he mentioned a boat pulling up a water skier, and

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: I thought that I hadn't even thought about it. But

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: there are a lot of great boat engine sounds where

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: I go in the summer. We're right next to a

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: popular boat gathering restaurant where people come get super hammered

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: and then drive their super powerful speedboats home, and I

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: always think, like those hooligans, it's not a good idea,

48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: but I do like the sound of their engines.

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool, iconic.

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: He was saying, a Illmore six point two inboard. I

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: don't know what that is. I know boats, but it

52
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: makes me want to go out and find one. He said.

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: The GT three fifty, which is something Jim Farley, who

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: now is the CEO Ford before that, when they were

55
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: developing the GT three fifty, because it has the flat

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: plane crank, he was always telling me about how great

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: it sounded. It was a screamer like a Ferrari, and

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: for some reason to this day, I have still not

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: driven one.

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: So hm, that needs to change. Yeah, I know you

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: have a really good list of cars coming up that

62
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna drive. I mean not the time.

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk it, we'll talk about that. But so

64
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: I've never driven a Porsche V eight, I mean a

65
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: Ferrari V eight, which has that set up. I've never

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: driven the new Corvette C eight Z six, which has

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: that set up. Good car, And I've never driven the

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Mustang GT three fifth. They all have this flat plane crank,

69
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: and I haven't driven.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Any Okay, well, you're putting out the frequency, so it's

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: only a matter of time before it's returned to you

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: by the universe, and I can't wait.

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was very cool. And we're gonna ask

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: for listeners to email us again because I have a

75
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 2: list of cars that I'm super psyched about I'm test

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: driving the next couple of months and I want to

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: solicit questions, so that'll be very cool. And then, uh,

78
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: I also, I drove a car that unexpectedly impressed me.

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, and I.

80
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Don't I think I'm going to get it in a

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: week or two.

82
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: So oh you are too. So should we wait to

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: talk about it until then?

84
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Or maybe we should wait to compare notes? We can

85
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: say what it is.

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: It's the Infinity QX eighty, which is a giant land yacht,

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: and it shouldn't, by rights, be at all exciting, I think,

88
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: but I really did like it. No, I don't know. Wait,

89
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about it.

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, we'll wait.

91
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: I want to know.

92
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: You don't want to wait.

93
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to wait.

94
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: Okay, let's dive in.

95
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: I want to talk about it for sure now because

96
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: I have not been impressed by any Infinity Vehicles. Ever,

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: I don't have a huge history with the brand. I

98
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: drove the old QX eighty and I thought they need

99
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: to put this thing out to pasture, like it needs

100
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: to go away. But the new one, I think, just visually,

101
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: it's so stunning. Have you googled it? I?

102
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I have. It seems to me that all

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: of these seven passenger SUVs are kind of starting to

104
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: look the same.

105
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So I don't agree because when I think of

106
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 2: giant seven passenger SUVs, I think of the Jeep grand Wagoneer, you.

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Know, oh, I think of like the Kia EV nine

108
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: and the suburban.

109
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: And suburban also obviously, but suburbans feel like a little

110
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: too big. When I drive a suburban, I'm like, this

111
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: thing has like a foot or two too much. But

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: the the Jeep grand Wagoneer is the one I think

113
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: of as the big honking and I think it's a

114
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: cool I like to drive the Jeep grand Wagoneer. I

115
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: love the engine options for the Jep grand Wagoneer, but

116
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: I think it is not a good looking vehicle. In fact,

117
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: I often wonder myself did the designers actually get paid

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: for that? Because it doesn't feel like they put in

119
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: any work at all. It's just a big block, you know.

120
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: And the and you're saying the Infinity looks different.

121
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: To me, the QX eight looks like something that I

122
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: can't remember what they were called in the movie Dune,

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: but I feel like the royal family in Dune, like

124
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: the classy one would drive this, you know, in a procession.

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it just looks hulking and powerful to me.

126
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Where did you drive this? Like? How did you use it?

127
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a good question because it's not a

128
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: car that you just want to drive on your commute, right,

129
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: it's too big for that.

130
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: A parking must have been a bit of a challenge.

131
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Well, where I live in Westchester, the city planners were

132
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 2: smart enough to design for large vehicles. And I always

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: take extra pride, a little extra pride in the fact

134
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: that at the at the Ridge Hill Mall in Yonkers,

135
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: you can park two vehicles in most of the parking spots,

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: so it's not a problem. I actually I actually drove

137
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: it all the way out to Bridge Hampton, Yeah, which

138
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: and every time I go to the Hampton's for I

139
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: think every time I've ever been to the Hamptons. I

140
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: do regret it on the way out, and then I

141
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: say on the way back, I'm never doing this again.

142
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: I don't understand why the wealthiest people in New York

143
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: want to drive three hours in bumper to bumper traffic

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: to get to a place that doesn't look any more

145
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: impressive than Fire Island, Like, I really don't. I'd rather

146
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: go to, you know, Dutchess County. I'd rather be in Millbrook, Like,

147
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: There's so many places I'd rather be at Bear Mountain,

148
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: you know.

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I have to say, I think everybody

150
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: in New York spends a period of time going back

151
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: and forth to Long Island and the Hampton's and montac

152
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: And I certainly had my days and years doing that.

153
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: And I would just drive back in the middle of

154
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: the night just to avoid the traffic, you know, And

155
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: if it meant not drinking that day, I was fine.

156
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: It was honestly worth it to just be able to

157
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: drive back, because you can make it in like two

158
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: hours if you drive back at three am.

159
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: In true for instance, in a Ferrari. Yes, do you

160
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: have a story.

161
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: About that, I've got I've got several stories. No tickets,

162
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Uh no, tickets. But yeah, you can. You can do

163
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: it pretty fast if you pick your timing. That is,

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: because you're right, it's really annoying to do it on

165
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon.

166
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the traffic. I mean, I go. So we

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: have a place on Fire Island. I'm a great grandparents

168
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: bought a place there like one hundred years ago, literally,

169
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: and I drive out there on a Thursday or on

170
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: a Friday, and it's the same thing, but it's not

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: as much. So it's bumpered a bumper traffic, but it's

172
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: an hour and a half. I still think to myself, why, yeah, why,

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, I'd rather do a three hour drive with

174
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: no traffic than a one and a half hour drive

175
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: in bumper to bumper traffic.

176
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: So, how so you were in the QX eighty so

177
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: in traffic.

178
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so on the way out we were in track.

179
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: We drove out there for the Bridge the car show

180
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 2: in Bridgehampton, which by the way, had some amazing vehicles,

181
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: and I do want to talk a little bit about that.

182
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: I drove back from the bridget so we didn't have

183
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: traffic coming back. And the cool thing about that experience

184
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: in the QX eighty is they have sort of semi

185
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: autonomous driving system. I can't remember what they call it.

186
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: Level two.

187
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: Level two you have to keep your hands on the wheel,

188
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: which is annoying. But how is it?

189
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: How was it actually autonomous?

190
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: No? I mean it's just you don't have to steer.

191
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: You don't have you know, the cruise control is adaptive.

192
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: So I got to try out that feature and I

193
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: found one of the faults of the vehicle. So I

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: love the way it's designed. I love the way it

195
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: looks on the outside. The interior is super luxurious. When

196
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: I finally figured out the infotainment system, it's got like

197
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: the Ranger over the split, so the AC controls are

198
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: on a screen below you, yep, and everything else is

199
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: above you. It's a Google system. So when I finally

200
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it's just the same as like

201
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: in the Chevy. So I figured that out quick question.

202
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't that make it seem less of a luxury object?

203
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: If you're saying it's the same as in the Chevy.

204
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: It does.

205
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: Well.

206
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: It's a Google system, so on the one hand, it

207
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: does make it feel a little bit less luxury. On

208
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 2: the other hand, it's easy to understand across those vehicles

209
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: and you can actually trust the maps function to give

210
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: you good directions or at least as good as cool Maps,

211
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: which is like the best I've found so far. And

212
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: I and I don't mind having the AC controls on

213
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: a screen below me. And that was all, But you

214
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: found a flaw. The flaw, to me is all related

215
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: to the engine. It's a twin turbo V six, four

216
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty horse power, five hundred I think fifteen

217
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: pound fee of torque. And you know, when they re

218
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: release this is a twenty twenty five model, they were like,

219
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: for those of you who are worried about losing the

220
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: V eight, stop your crying because this has just as

221
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: much power. Give me a break. I mean, I get

222
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: that not everyone needs a V eight, and I think

223
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 2: this goes toe to toe easily with the range Rover

224
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: that has their V six in it. I like it

225
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: better than the BMWX seven in terms of design, but

226
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: the obviously the Inline six.

227
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: Has been of the Volvos.

228
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: The Volvo has no standing when it comes to motor

229
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: or powertrain.

230
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: It's not good, you know, But I mean, like in general, well.

231
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: I think the Volvo is a beautiful design. It's one

232
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: of the most beautiful designs out there across their range. Right,

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: they have really good looking cars, but the fact that

234
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: they're all like two liter four cylinders doesn't help.

235
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: And okay, so the list, so you can you.

236
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Can't compare this to that though, right, because it's it's

237
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: a much it's a bigger class. This compares to a

238
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: Cadillac Escalade, a Range Rover BMW X seven, and all

239
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: of those have a V eight option. Right, this does

240
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: not have that option. You can't get it. And so

241
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,359
Speaker 2: what that means is if you're using the semi autonomous

242
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what to call it. If you're using

243
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: the adaptive cruise control function and it slows down for

244
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: traffic and then has to speed up, it just takes

245
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: too long to make it a smooth or enjoyable experience. Finally,

246
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: I was like, screw it, I'm gonna I'm gonna accelerate

247
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: and break myself because I just.

248
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Think anything that requires you to still basically half drive,

249
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: you might as well just drive. True, I don't understand

250
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: how that is helping.

251
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, if you're on a road, like

252
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 2: if you're driving, what do you do like Los Angeles,

253
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Las Vegas in the middle of the night. Yeah, you

254
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: can just turn it on and not.

255
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Worry, you know, Yeah, but you still have to have

256
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road,

257
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: so you might as well actually drive. True, that's what

258
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: you're doing.

259
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, you're right. I agree.

260
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Well, I'm seeing that pricing here is kind of like

261
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: around ninety thousand, two hundred thousand dollars. Did it feel

262
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: worth that amount to you?

263
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: It definitely so. I drove the one hundred and sixteen thousand,

264
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: oh wow dollar version, and it definitely felt like a

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: great eighty five thousand dollars vehicle.

266
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so slightly over priced.

267
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: It starts at eighty five and it goes to one sixteen.

268
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: And I don't know, you must have had the autograph.

269
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: The autograph happened, which made me feel, by the way,

270
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: extra rich. It's like a cooler design element, uh you know,

271
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: the autograph plaque on the side. And oh so, and

272
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: I don't know at what trim level this kicks in,

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: but the Clips audio system was uh, may zing.

274
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: Say that word again?

275
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: Clips?

276
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I've never heard that word.

277
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, when I was a kid, they made like

278
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: the ultimate reference speaker. If you were like you know,

279
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: uh moneyed and into metal like clips me but they

280
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: make me either. But I had a neighbor who my

281
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: my buddy's dad was an eye doctor and he was

282
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: like the most successful eye doctor, and so they had

283
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: these massive clipsch speakers. It sounds German. Yeah, And anyway,

284
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: so in the Infinity they have that great trick that

285
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: Mercedes has also which puts two speakers right by your ear,

286
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: won by each ear, right in the headrest, and then

287
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: there's a obviously a subwifer and their speakers all over

288
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: the place. It's a very good audio system. I tested

289
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: it across the range of music and it was successful

290
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: with everything. Very good, very good speaker system.

291
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward in this, yeah, and to hear you

292
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: say that, especially because I know you're sort of an

293
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: audio file. So I think I think I'm taking this

294
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: to a polo match. Actually that's so that that will

295
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: hopefully match your experience or mirror. Well.

296
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: Of course they were playing polo right down the street

297
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: from the Bridge car.

298
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: Show of course seasonal.

299
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: I will say that I saw in the parking lot

300
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: for the car show, because you had to park like

301
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: far away from the bridge, which was held on a

302
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: golf course. And that's a really cool idea for the

303
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: car show, but a bad idea I think for golfers

304
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: because their course was pretty ruined.

305
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: An original idea anyway, I every car shows, I always

306
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: wonder why the and if you go to an Ohio

307
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: State Michigan game at Michigan and Ann Arbor, they have

308
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: tailgating on the golf course, which is fun for us,

309
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: but it must suck on Monday when you want.

310
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: To play around, right, because there's some divots but no,

311
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: so you had to park away from the show and

312
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: then get on a shuttle and drive to the show.

313
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: And I saw it was awful and they decided to

314
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: do zero organization, like you could have set up a line,

315
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: but instead they just had clumps of people. And since

316
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: everyone who goes to the Bridge Car Show thinks that

317
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: he is more important than anyone else, everybody's trying to

318
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: jump the line. Right. It was tough, but the cars

319
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: in the parking lot were amazing. I saw a bright

320
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: orange Wraith. I wouldn't be able to drive it myself,

321
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: but props to that person.

322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: An orange Wraith, Yes, now that is something.

323
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very cool obviously since it was a Hampton's.

324
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: There were a ton of resto mod Broncos, because that's

325
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: like the vehicle.

326
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Of choice, undred thousand dollars for the down home blue

327
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: collar exactly.

328
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: And then I got to the show and I had

329
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: a really great time talking to Tom Scarpello of Revology,

330
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: and I got to check out a couple of his cars.

331
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: Now, did you drive one?

332
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: I didn't get to drive one, but why not? Well

333
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: because we were there at the show on a golf course,

334
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: and I told him, like, it doesn't like if I

335
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: drive it in within a half hour, I'm going to

336
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: be impressed, right because not necessarily. Well, it's got a

337
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: blown Coyote V eight, so I'm going to be psyched

338
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: after a hat. But what we need to do is

339
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: live with it for a week to see if like

340
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: the door handles stay on, you know, yes, yes, So

341
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not going to drive it now because

342
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'll love it. But if you if you

343
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: had to drive it every day, if you have to

344
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: go to a car show, if you have to commute

345
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: in it, if you have to put a baby seat,

346
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: then you know if it's really valuable.

347
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm even opening and closing the doors I had that

348
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: truck from Velocity and the lighting in the cabin, you know,

349
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: after one day was on the fritz the rest of

350
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: the week.

351
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: I told him about that. Yeah, by the way, and

352
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: I said, that's why we need to live with the vehicle.

353
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you no, you can't just have it for that.

354
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: On the other hand, you can see, like they see

355
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: NC mill, the joints that open and close.

356
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: The hood like everybody does. Every every builder at Seema

357
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: does Seema does that?

358
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, oh I haven't been to Seema, so

359
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 2: I don't know.

360
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: Well, it's in November, Matt, so come on out.

361
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: You think, by the way, that's the I mean, you

362
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 2: would love it.

363
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: You would love it. You your head would explode.

364
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: I think for me it would be the best caution.

365
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: Which I was going to ask you.

366
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's November seventh or eighth or ninth

367
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: this year. You should. I mean, I'm not going, but

368
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: I think you would.

369
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: Really, you know what, I think I'm going to give

370
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 2: myself that as a birthday present.

371
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: You should wait. When's your birthday?

372
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: November the fifth.

373
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: See, we're both November babies too. This is why we

374
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: get along.

375
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: Remember for the fifth of November. Gun Patras and plot.

376
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: I also saw a couple of singers at the show

377
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: and the owners were there too, so I was like, Wow,

378
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: it's so cool that this car that looks brand new

379
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: and awesome has historic plates on it. And the guy

380
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: was like, well, it's a singer, you know. They it's

381
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 2: a it's a nine to six four, but they redid everything.

382
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, dude, calm down, I.

383
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: Know that's every other car in Beverly Hills. I do

384
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: think living in California you get very spoiled, because you know,

385
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I having lived in on the East Coast for almost

386
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: twenty years and now being in California. I love New

387
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: York with all of my heart and I always will.

388
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: But there's one thing that Los Angeles and California has

389
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: New York beat, and that is the amount of cars

390
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: and the quality and the variety. And you start to

391
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: get really spoiled.

392
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: I believe it. I mean, like, uh, like Eric was

393
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: telling us last week, He's like, I bought a couple

394
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: of nice sports cars to go at dinner because that's

395
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: like what you do in.

396
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: LA Yeah, you know, yeah, well, I mean just in

397
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: terms of the options and the amount of people who

398
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: can work on the car and the you know, there

399
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: are so there are just so many more options and

400
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: the network here for supporting a car habit is just

401
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: really really developed.

402
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: Well in places to drive, right, you have the Angela's.

403
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Crest and I mean there are all.

404
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: These famous roads that you can drive on and we

405
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: just don't have that here.

406
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: You know. Right this last weekend, we were out at

407
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: a place called the Old Place, which is out in

408
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: It's in Malibu, but we drive through basically Calabasas to

409
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: get there, and there are all these roads. There's like this,

410
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: There are all these driving roads like the Snake and

411
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, Stunt Road, and it's a very very big

412
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: motorcycle place. Matt, you would love it. And it's this

413
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: destination that people drive their car two on the weekend

414
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: and you just sit and you eat potatoes and you know,

415
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: drink a pop and you watch the cars go by.

416
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: It's really so cool and it's so relaxing. I can't

417
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: wait until you come to.

418
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 2: La Yeah, you have haul in. You have that place

419
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: like by the rock store where the guy takes places.

420
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's on the way to the place.

421
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: But I believe me, I wish I lived in La

422
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: I would move if the financial capital of the world

423
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: was in la I would move there in a heartbeat.

424
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: But I can't really do my show, my TV, my

425
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: day job from there. But yeah, I would love to

426
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: uh yeah, absolutely love to be there. Let's talk for

427
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: a second about the air fresheners, because.

428
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: This is this is a this is a common problem,

429
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: so much so that I don't know if you remember

430
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: the Seinfeld episode about the smelly car and then also

431
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode about you know, the smell discount,

432
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: because you know Larry, Larry was looking at a car

433
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: for his buddy and the his buddy couldn't smell, but

434
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: Larry could smell. The car stunk. Did you see that episode?

435
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: I can't remember that. I'm sure i've seen because I've

436
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: seen every episode of both.

437
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's a common thing. It's like

438
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: a thing that could be a deal breaker, yeah, in

439
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: a car. And it's not even mechanical.

440
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: By the way, this is another reason to see and

441
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: inspect a used car in person before you purchase it.

442
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: I have to say, there are two things we know

443
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: are true. Everybody loves the smell of the new car.

444
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: New car smell is like universally beloved and desired. But

445
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: that smell is actually off gases from all of the

446
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: components in a new.

447
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: Car, which funny because everybody wants to like patent bottle

448
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: that right, But.

449
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: It's simply the smell of rubber and metal and plastic

450
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: and even leather. It's just off gases from that new car.

451
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: The other car smell that is kind of universally love

452
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: is if you are lucky enough to have a vintage

453
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: car that has like marinated the smell of leather and

454
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: wood and maybe just a little bit of oil and

455
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: like maybe a little bit of sweat, but it actually

456
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: smells really amazing. We all know that smell. When you

457
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: get a good old car. It's like, oh, this is

458
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: so cool, and again like you can't really recreate that

459
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: unless you have fifty years. Yeah, good life in that car.

460
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: It's only true. My uncle had an old VW Bug.

461
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: When I still think about the car this day, I

462
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 2: think about the smell. Yeah, I guess it was just

463
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: the leather. It was like leather that been in the

464
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: sun for a long time, and obviously oil and gas

465
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: and it was just nice.

466
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: So do you ever use a car freshener like personally,

467
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: do you use car freshener.

468
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: I sometimes in my Dodge Challenger, I'll put like really

469
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,520

Speaker 1: kind except for one which everybody recommended to me, which

478
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: was the sex wax hangtag.

479
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: The others the wax like doctor whatever, sex doctor.

Speaker 1: that you can buy in like a gas station or something.

482
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: The other ones are This is actually what I'm getting

483
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: to is, this is actually a really wide open white

484
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: space that the people that I spoke with for this

485
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: story are saying, in the next year or two is

486
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: really going to be looked at and explored by big companies.

487
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: And I spoke with Don and Samantha Goldworm, who are

488
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: twin sisters who have this company called twelve twenty nine,

489
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: and they sent everything from retail stores to Delta VIP

490
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: lounges to runway shows. They've done work for Mercedes and Bentley.

491
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: They're really amazing.

492
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: And they sent these places. Yes that's a verb.

493
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they sent these places. Yes, Don is an actual

494
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: nose who made her way studying fragrance in Paris, and

495
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: they developed sense for these places. In fact, they were

496
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: telling me they developed this amazing scent for the Porsche

497
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: VIP fleet of cars that takes important clients to the

498
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: UH to the airline lounge, which is very cool. So

499
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: they think about this a lot. And they both said

500
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: to me when I spoke with them, this is a

501
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: really really big market that is about to explode. And

502
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: so now you have companies like Diptique you might have

503
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: heard heard of, or aquad Deparma or yeah, Frederick Mile

504
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: like like actually really good fragrance brands that are starting

505
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: to develop really interesting fresheners for cars. And so what

506
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting to is I tested ten of them and

507
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: the main thing that I I discovered. I think the

508
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: real through line that we can say for this is

509
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: the more you spend, the better quality, and the better

510
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: the scent's going to be period, because the reason why

511
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: the hangtag air fresheners that you get at the grocery

512
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: store are so bad is because they're made with the

513
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: cheapest everything, the cheapest fragrant chemicals and like cardboard. I'm

514
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: a big fan of the diffuser types, which actually you

515
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: can control how much scent is released. There are a

516
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: few that have been made, like there's one by Memo

517
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: Paris where you can sort of open and close the

518
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: diffusure it sticks onto the vent of your car.

519
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: Are all these do they like sit on the dashboards,

520
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: stick on the vent or? Are they all like that

521
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 2: kind of solution?

522
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: You can you can stick them in the vent. Some

523
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: of them are like rubber medallions, which are really cool.

524
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: Frederick Mahl had these very cool rubber incense medallions that

525
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: were fifty dollars for a set of four that they had.

526
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: Fragrance is like Russian Nights or Jurassic Flower. But I

527
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: actually did put them, and you know, unfortunately, my husband

528
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of cars, so I did

529
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: actually put these in different cars that we have, and

530
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: they certainly work.

531
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: I just wanted to point out I'm test driving currently

532
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: a Lincoln Nautilus, which Okay, it's a really interesting So

533
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: they've kind of flipped the Ford typical four dashboard over.

534
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: Usually the four dashboard is like close to you and

535
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: up high. This one is like way back against the

536
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 2: windscreen and it spreads all the way out. It's kind

537
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: of cool. It's like you're driving a boat. But the

538
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: most interesting thing about this car that every person who's

539
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: gotten in has noticed that smells delicious. Oh Like I

540
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: took it to a lunch in New York and gave

541
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: some people a ride home, like, Wow, this car smells good.

542
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: I brought it home my wife's and she's like, damn,

543
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: this car smell so good?

544
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: Is this an onboard diffuser that the car?

545
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: I didn't really know what was happening. I thought maybe

546
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: they just gave me like a brand new car that

547
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: happened to have a delicious smell. Or I thought that, like,

548
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: you know, Lawrence Ulrish was driving it before me, and

549
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: you know, he smells delicious, or Brett Burke or somebody

550
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: you know, but for sure, yeah, Brett probably more than Lawrence.

551
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: But I thought, you know something, maybe someone did perfume

552
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: it a little bit, apparently, because I wrote to Dan

553
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: Barbosa to ask and Mary Beth who runs their fleet

554
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: out here. So they wrote back and they say, the

555
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: Natilist is our first vehicle to offer Lincoln Digital Scent

556
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: Digital sen. Yes, it's a USB like cartridge, the towels

557
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: in the center console. You can customize the feature in

558
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: the center command screen.

559
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: See that's cool.

560
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: And it smells so good, and it's like, yes, you know,

561
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't like any kind of you.

562
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: My wife normally doesn't like a smell's she wants no

563
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: smell nothing. But this is a smell that's good. And

564
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: so far I've had like five or six people, different

565
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: people in the car. No one's been offended. Like everyone's

566
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: that smells good?

567
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: What is the note? Is it floral?

568
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't really know, peach?

569
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: Is it vanilla?

570
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 2: I can't reallyplace it. And I'm not good at that.

571
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: Like I'm also I don't have a very good sense

572
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: of smell.

573
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: I find that a lot of men think that.

574
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: My wife can smell anything and everything. So like, you know,

575
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: if we need to get her going to dinner on

576
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Saturday and I like eat a gummy, she'll be like, hey,

577
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: did you just eat a gummy? You know, but she's

578
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: like the have you ever read The Perfume, that novel

579
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: by Daniel Suskin. She's like she's like the guy in

580
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: the Suscan Patrick Suskin, and I suspect your twins are

581
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: a little bit like that as well.

582
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: I think they are. They're fascinating. I kind of want

583
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: to have them on. I mean, I'm actually working on

584
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: a story about them right now that I don't think

585
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: I can talk about yet, but they're really fascinating to

586
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: talk to.

587
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: Well. I'm not a nose in any case, but I

588
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: did notice that this Lincoln Nautilus cool aside from feeling

589
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: like you're driving a boat. I really feel like I

590
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: should wear one of those captain's hats, like from Gilligan's Aisland.

591
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: That'd be cute. Because I think we should also note

592
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: that Mercedes I think, was the first major autom maker

593
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: to have since inside their car, and that was back

594
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, so we have to give them props

595
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: for really being ahead of the curve. And they had

596
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: those remember I think you've probably seen them. They're little

597
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: pots with the oils that are in the glove compartment.

598
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Those diffuse the scent, which is really interesting. And I

599
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: spoke with the scent expert at Mercedes who said they

600
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: developed that idea because you know, naturally, when we're smelling

601
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: something or we want to smell more of it, we

602
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: sort of waffed the air toward our nose just naturally

603
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: with our hand. And so when you have a diffuser

604
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: in a car, that is recreating the same thing that

605
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: we sort of do naturally. So her point was a

606
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: diffuser is better than just a tag just on principle

607
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: because it more approximates what happens in real life.

608
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: Well, I have driven to Mercedes with that feature, and

609
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: I but I feel like Lincoln has nailed it here

610
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: and a lot of times when you developed the idea

611
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: first is not necessarily you're the best at it for sure,

612
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: not that they're not good at it. But BMW, I

613
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: think also does it now. Yeah, and they offer different

614
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: sense for different driving experiences as well, which I think

615
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: is interesting, like what is called fast smell like as

616
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: opposed to driving luxurious.

617
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: But you know, since is one of those things that

618
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: we don't think about really first first, but a scent

619
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: is the sense most linked to memory. Something else that

620
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: Don and Samantha told me. They're a fount of information.

621
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: They said, since is actually the sense that you remember

622
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: from childhood A lot of the times, you know, we

623
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: all have like memories of things, and that is the

624
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: most closely linked with memory, which I thought was really cool.

625
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: That's totally true. That's I'm always chasing after certain like

626
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: my uncle's folkswagen, you know, convertible bug or for the

627
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: longest time. My grandmother died when I was like ten,

628
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: and I was always looking for her scent, and my

629
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: mom would be like, oh, she wore I don't know,

630
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: white linen by Estay laughter. So I would go and

631
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: try and get that, and that wasn't really it, and

632
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: I was always trying to recreate it. And then I

633
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: was at a cocktail party at the Racquet Club about

634
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago and they gave me a glass of

635
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: bourbon on ice and I was like, oh my god,

636
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: that's my grandmother. Amazing, And then I called my mom.

637
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: I was like, I just smelled nanny and she was like, oh, yeah,

638
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: she used to start drinking Maker's Market like noon every day.

639
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: So that makes sense. That tracks.

640
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that, and I can totally

641
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: see how even if she did wear white linen by

642
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: Estae latter it wouldn't smell the same because how a

643
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: fragrance hits someone's own skin is unique to them. So

644
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: like how that would have smelled just in the error

645
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: on you would have smelled completely different than it actually

646
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: smelled on her.

647
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: But the bourbon smelled. I'd be sitting on her lap

648
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: when she's playing bridge and she has a glass of

649
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: bourbon that she keeps taking tips of and it's going

650
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: right past my nose, and now it's one of my

651
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: favorite smells. I want to quickly go through a list

652
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: of the cars that I'm going to be driving in

653
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: the next couple months and encourage people to email us,

654
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: because Hot Pursuit at bloomberg dot net is our email address.

655
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: We've gotten some really good emails over the last week,

656
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: and I want to get more. And I was thinking,

657
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what cars I'm gonna drive, and then

658
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: you ask me questions about or tell me, like, hey,

659
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: if you're going to drive the Caman, check out this

660
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: or that. First. I'm driving the seven eighteen Caman. It's

661
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: a GTS. I just got this one and so only

662
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: had one half hour of seat time in it. But

663
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: the first thing that struck me is that it's a PDK,

664
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: and it's like, if you're gonna get a little roadster

665
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: or a little sports car, don't you want the stick?

666
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: I don't know who.

667
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think you can judge the whole

668
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: car just on not having it having a stick.

669
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: It's just weird in a Porsche to pull back a

670
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: gearshift lever and have it go clunk, clunk, clunk into drive.

671
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: That's to me, that's what you know, like a car

672
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: feels like.

673
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: That's what all the pros do, That's what every pro

674
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: driver does, and that's the bulk of Porsche. You know.

675
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: We talked about that manual story I just wrote last

676
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: week for the magazine, which it's still online if anyone

677
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: wants to go refer to it. But that's like everybody

678
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: these days, that's the bulk of everyone.

679
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: I just felt like, if I get into a Porsche,

680
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: I feel like there should be three pedals, and then

681
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm missing something when I and I feel like I'm

682
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: should have to pay less if I don't get all

683
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: three pedals in the manual trend Anyway, that's just my

684
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: own thing, and I'll figure out maybe over the next week.

685
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: I'll be like, this is awesome.

686
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: I think.

687
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: I think.

688
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: All I know is whenever I ask, like the pro

689
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: drivers out of the track, what what car do you like?

690
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: They oh, they really love a GT four. They really

691
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: love the seven eighteen and in general because they say

692
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: it's really balanced and really predictable, and it's just and

693
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: it's it's all about like, are you okay not being

694
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: in a nine to eleven.

695
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm gonna love it. And but I'm a

696
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: big I'm six foot three, you know, two hundred pounds,

697
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: So I like a nine to eleven because it's roomy. Now,

698
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: Matt Farrah, who's I think taller than me and is

699
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: a bigger guy, he obviously likes the seven eighteen, so

700
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: maybe I'll love it too.

701
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: It's a great Honestly, people who are secure with themselves

702
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: and who have driven a lot of Porschas love it

703
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: because you get a whole lot of car for under

704
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars and it's a and it's so

705
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: fun to drive.

706
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: But you do want the manual, right isn't that part

707
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: of the fun of driving it?

708
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I guess, But I think you

709
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: can have fun without.

710
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 2: A man if you're gonna buy one, Hannah, you would

711
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: buy a.

712
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: Manual maybe maybe maybe?

713
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: All right, next week I'm gonna drive. I don't even

714
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: know what this really is because I keep pestering I

715
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: want to drive a Cadillac CT five V the Black Wing,

716
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: but instead they're going to give me the Cadillac CT

717
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: five Premium Luxury. And I'm actually pretty interested to drive

718
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 2: that because we know that the Black Wing is going

719
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 2: to be killer. It's an awesome, you know, to be

720
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: race car. But I wonder if they can if it

721
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: can still be just as luxurious because I drove the

722
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: CT four the Black Wing. It was awesome, but it's

723
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 2: like very taut suspension, you know, it's stiff. In terms

724
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: of Cadillac luxury. I think of my grandmother's like nineteen

725
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: seventy two El Dorado, you know, was right.

726
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: And I was just gonna say, if you have to

727
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: say it, it makes me wonder whether it really is.

728
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: It's kind of like being a lady, you know, if

729
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: if I have to say, I'm a lady, kind of makes.

730
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: Me calling it the premium luxuries a little much. Also

731
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: a little on the note, it's also like is it

732
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: premium and luxury?

733
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean again, like doesn't words seem to mean nothing

734
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: in the world of car marketing, and this is a

735
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: great example of like it doesn't actually mean any.

736
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm still looking forward and I'm and it gets great reviews,

737
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: Aston Martin Vantage Coup. Yes, I can't wait because I

738
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: go to the Aston Martin, like the little store they

739
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: have on fifty seventh in Park, and I love the

740
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 2: way it looks. But you have spent real seat time

741
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: in this.

742
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to be very clear. It's absolutely a

743
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: big improvement over the predecessor, and it absolutely is a

744
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: very fun car to drive. I think perhaps when we

745
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: spoke about it earlier, I said, which I believe and

746
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: is true, they're to me better options in the market.

747
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: This would be like my third choice. Doesn't mean it's

748
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: a bad car at all. It's really fun, it's great.

749
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: It's like up thirty percent in horsepower over the previous model.

750
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: It's like has way more torque, it's stiffer, it has

751
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: less understeer, like all the great things. Would I still

752
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: prefer something else? If I only am getting one and

753
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm spending two hundred thousand dollars on a car, maybe.

754
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: That's the killer. That's that's the thing because I love

755
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 2: the I love the vantage GT from like twenty ten,

756
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 2: twenty twelve, and what I loved about it was a

757
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: it felt super analog, it still had I think, hydraulic steering,

758
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: and b the price wasn't terrifying, like it was definitely

759
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: less than one hundred thousand dollars.

760
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean that goes back to obviously these

761
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: are not apples to Orange, just comparison, But that goes

762
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: back to the little seven eighteen, Like that's a lot

763
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: of car that you can have a lot of fun

764
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: in for half the price. And obviously that car performance wise,

765
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: that Ason Martin is not. It's obviously a faster, more powerful,

766
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: bigger car. But I'm just saying sometimes you can have

767
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: just as much fun in something that's like a lot

768
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: smaller and lighter. But yeah, yeah, with the manual. But

769
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for you also to hear this, Astin Martin,

770
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: see how you feel about the engine.

771
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 2: Note now me too, I'm excited about everything that has

772
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: to do with that, Aston Martin. I cannot wait. I'm

773
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: obviously a little bit of a fanboy in that.

774
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: Do you know what color are you getting?

775
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: No? I think in my head it's a really deep blue,

776
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: oh blue, just because that's the color of the one

777
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: that's sitting in the window at.

778
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: The puppy in the window.

779
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. Then I'm getting the Mercedes S sixty three

780
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: EV four, which electric. I guess that's what it. Yeah,

781
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be the electric S sixty three, So

782
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: it'll be the faster version of the S class and.

783
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: That'll be really interesting considering how you felt about the

784
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: last Mercedes you drove.

785
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 2: I loved the last Mercedes you did it. No, you're

786
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: thinking it two times ago, two times. So the the

787
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: g T sixty three I didn't like, and then the

788
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: cl E I absolutely love the c l E four fifty.

789
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: I was gushing about it. That's the red one that

790
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: Edna washed in my driveway. Oh yeah, right, But that

791
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 2: had the Inline six and I liked it. And that

792
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 2: was a seventy thousand dollars in line six. I liked

793
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: it so much better than the two hundred thousand dollars twin.

794
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: Turbov eight still surprises me.

795
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: I know, it surprises me too, and maybe I'm an idiot.

796
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: Frankly, Yeah, I mean, heart wants what the heart wants.

797
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: But the it'll I mean know, I'm driving the EV

798
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: with an open mind. I liked their EV SUV EV's

799
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: in terms.

800
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: Of like luxury twister cool stuff.

801
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: So I'm then I have the Jaguar F Type our

802
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: dynamic convertible.

803
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: Now this one, I'm like, why are you even driving this?

804
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: Kind of like how did they give this to you?

805
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: Because this car came out in twenty fifteen.

806
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: I know, so and so I think it's like the

807
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: Swan Song. I think they're on their way out. I

808
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: feel like this could be the last year or one

809
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: of the last years for this car at all. Right,

810
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: they're not going to make it anymore.

811
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Them. I loved them when they came out. I thought

812
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: they were really cool. They looked awesome, they were priced

813
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: very competitively. It was is fun to drive. It had

814
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: a personality, It had a sense of purpose. But it's

815
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: a little long in the tooth, you know, I know.

816
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: But the F Type, it was like we had the

817
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: XK in two thousand and six.

818
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 2: Loved that.

819
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: That was twenty years ago. Almost this is this is

820
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: approaching vintage level.

821
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: I know, but you know what, it still has the

822
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: supercharged five liter you know that when like the old

823
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: range Rover engine, right that's gone. Yeah, this and that

824
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 2: that the f Pace had that I absolutely loved as well. Look,

825
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: first of all, beggars can't be choosers. I'm happy to

826
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: test this car.

827
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: And I'm curious why they want you. I mean, obviously,

828
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: so you talk about it, I guess, But what's the news.

829
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be my first time driving an all wheel

830
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: drive F type. Okay, maybe it's I'm excited to drive it.

831
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: I just love that motor. It sounds so good.

832
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: No manual available.

833
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: They're prepared for that, there won't There won't be a manual.

834
00:40:58,719 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: Do you expect neither?

835
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: In fact, I don't know if I'm gonna I'm not.

836
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: I haven't had a manual yet. Right. The Caman that

837
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 2: I'm driving is PDK. The Cadillac is obviously not going

838
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 2: to be manual, asked Martin. They don't make it an

839
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: a manual yet. The EV Mercedes is not going to

840
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: be manual. It'll be fast and luxurious. This Jag not

841
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: a manual.

842
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, why do you expect a

843
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: manual to be in the seven eighteen but not the

844
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: Jag which is also a small coop.

845
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: Just because I've been around for the whole life of

846
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: the F type. And I know that they only put

847
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: a manual in the V six, So I'm.

848
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: Just saying, oh, you're saying the supercharge V eight Trump's

849
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: having a manual with a smaller engine.

850
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I They're very different vehicles, right. The

851
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: F type isn't a little sports car. It's a it's

852
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: a small it's a grand tour though.

853
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's it doesn't have a back seat.

854
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: It's just for driving around, and it's not really meant

855
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: for taking on the twisties, at least the ones I've driven.

856
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: But the Caman should. It's like the kind of car

857
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 2: that should only come with a manual.

858
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Wait a second, you are getting the our dynamic, which

859
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: again that means nothing, but that is supposed to mean

860
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: it's performance oriented.

861
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't expect that kind of performance out

862
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: of it, and which is why I'm not going to

863
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: be that has like a CVT transmission. All right, uh huh, Okay,

864
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it when I get there, but I

865
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: think I'm probably gonna like it and think, like this

866
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: thing feels like it's ten years old. Yeah, but still

867
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: like it.

868
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, let us know how the enfotainment holds up

869
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: these ten years.

870
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they haven't updated.

871
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: It, right. I it's wild, like what is going on.

872
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 2: It's so weird because they have updated the F pace

873
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: infotainment and they haven't updated the F type infotainment.

874
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: Man, maybe the F type will be cool to collect

875
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: in like twenty years.

876
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: And you'll be able to get it for a song, right,

877
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: you know. And then to round up, I think I

878
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: will be getting finally a manual transmission car that I

879
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: think it will be. I'm not sure, but it's a

880
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: super u WRXTR.

881
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: That's fun. That'll be That'll probably be the most fun

882
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: out of this whole group. Think I heard it. Yes,

883
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to predict that now. If it's a manual,

884
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: you'll you'll come back smiling most about that.

885
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 2: That does happen. I remember my first time test driving

886
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: at nine to eleven in Germany. I spent a week

887
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: there with a Carrera four and it was a PDK

888
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: and I thought, oh, this car is so cool. It's

889
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: so much fun and so fast, you know. But then

890
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: I came home and drove my brother's old out e

891
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: a four wagon you know, with a stick, and I

892
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: was like this is so much more fun because it

893
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 2: doesn't make that, you know, if you're not on the track,

894
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: if you're not looking for lap times. It just adds

895
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 2: another element of fun as long as you're not in traffic.

896
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so true. I know a very cool stat

897
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: about you said. It's a WRX, right, Yeah, super Rud

898
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: told me that almost ninety percent of WRX sales are

899
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: manual as of August twenty twenty four. That's the take,

900
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: which is awesome. And for the BRZ it's eighty percent

901
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: take manual take right, which that's very cool.

902
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel the same way about that as

903
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: I do about the seven eighteen. If you get this

904
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: car and it's and you get an automatic transmission, a

905
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: shame on you. Shame on you, unless you're taking on

906
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: the track, in which case you know you've got other

907
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: things to worry about that shift.

908
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: All right, that'll be cool.

909
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: So email me if you have any questions about any

910
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 2: of those cars, and I'll keep telling you, you know,

911
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: throughout the next few weeks. But Hot Pursuit at Bloomberg

912
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: dot net, I just want to quickly talk about where

913
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 2: you're going. You're going somewhere driving something amazing. H and

914
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be amazing. I love this brand.

915
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: And then you're going to talk to someone very interesting

916
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: and powerful.

917
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: Yes, So I'm going to Zurich, Switzerland to drive the

918
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: new Bentley Continental GT, which is their eight hybrid hybrid

919
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: V eight. So I hope that's suitable for you, Matt.

920
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: I hope that's enough.

921
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 2: You know, I love a hybrid, especially hybrid for performance

922
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: reasons and not for economical reasons.

923
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: Yes, as my mom calls them, the hybrids. We love

924
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: the hybrids. And this is like, I don't know, over

925
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: seven hundred horsepower, more than seven hundred and thirty eight

926
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: pound feet of torque. It's like a real beefy one.

927
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: And then I'm going to talk to their.

928
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's beefee right, It's still going to be pretty.

929
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Heavily, completely completely and you know, Bentley also has a

930
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: new executive at the top of Frank Stefan Wallacer, who

931
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: was the head of Porsche Motorsport. So this is really

932
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: interesting because I think Bentley has really ridden a very

933
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: strong wave in the last few years. But also they

934
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: need to say what they're going to do next, you know,

935
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: what what can we look for in the future? And

936
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: so when they have a German coming in who was

937
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: leading motorsport from Portie and now he's running Bentley, really

938
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: makes me wonder what do we have to look forward to?

939
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: Is Bentley going to go even more strongly into this

940
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: performance segment category.

941
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

942
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure that you know the workers at crewe also

943
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 2: have thought, wait what you know, but they've dealt with

944
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: Germans for a long time, so they're used to that.

945
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see what you think about

946
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 2: the vehicle. I can't wait to see it me too,

947
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 2: because that you know that speaking of long in the tooth, right,

948
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: I know the Bentley Continental GT has been around since

949
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: like two thousand and six.

950
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: It's been around for a while. I have been on

951
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: the configurator already and they've got this Continental GT Speed

952
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: First Edition which is super cool and it comes in

953
00:46:55,719 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: like this liquid metal color which is really pretty.

954
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: Uh is it the acid green?

955
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: No? I don't think it's acid.

956
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: When I go to the Bentley website, that's the first

957
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 2: thing I see is that acid green.

958
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, they're calling it quicksilver. It's like it's

959
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: like a quicksilver I think there may be a drop

960
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: of grain depending on the on the lighting. But they're

961
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: calling it quicksilver. It's like this sort of liquid metal

962
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: color for their first edition. Super excited. Yeah, and I

963
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: hear it's going to be cold and snowy in Zurich

964
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: and we're actually going up in the hills toward Ander Mott, so.

965
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:33,839
