SSC Tuatara Review; No More Regs; Merc EVs

We drove the 1750HP SSC Tuatara! What a thing it was! How's it feel? Compare to a Bugatti or a Pagani or a Koenigsegg? Is it worth the money? And what about that record thing...

Plus, Mercedes stops selling EVs in CA; fuel economy standards end: what does it mean?; and we answer Patreon questions including:

• Why do old cars have "patina" and newer cars "look rough"?
• Should I replace my tired suspension with aftermarket or OEM?
• Are mild performance cars a good value?
• How do we feel about Detroit?
• Has the G80 M3 grown on us?
• Best T-tops for summer?
• Which generation of Audi TT RS is best?
• Why we haven't talked about Subaru EVs
• Glock watches
• Best snow super SUV
• And more!
