Why Giants Drove a Beetle; A Correction; R8 vs AMG GT

IMPORTANT update on the ID.Buzz. A thing we hated we may not hate anymore. Plus, why did Matt's 6'5" dad and his equally large brothers own a VW Beetle? The EV mandate is over, plus we answer Patreon questions including:

  • Used Audi R8 or AMG-Mercedes GT
  • Imperfect cars that are perfect for ONE thing?
  • Which cars have we changed our mind on?
  • Favorite camera gear right now
  • Is there a V8 Lotus could put in the Emira?
  • Should I PPF my mountain car?
  • Is it true that Porsche 911 owners don't like the Carrera GT?
  • Which special edition car would we want (if any)?
  • Are air-cooled Porsches even worth the money?
