Car Shows and the Free Mercedes

Matt Farah and Zack Klapman attended the reveal of the new, possibly light(er)-weight RTR Mustang; were part of the HUGE turnout for the Type S / Larry Chen car show in Long Beach; Matt talks about the old-yet-free Mercedes he got and what he plans to do with it; Zack describes his week with the Infinite Machine P1 electric scooter; and they answer Patreon questions including:

• Should I get a sports car even if all the roads are boring?
• Which auto journalists have changed your opinion on a car?
• Any plans to review the Honda Passport Trailsport?
• Should I get dedicated summer tires or a performance all-season?
• What's a "buy once, keep forever" watch for my dad?
• Countach vs Countach video with Doug Demuro?
• Is the BRZ tS worth it over the BRZ Premium?
• I need a long-distance commuter
• Is the 981 Boxster/Cayman the best Porsche value?
• What's your perfect "cigar car"?
