Why are the Rich so Timid; 930 Slant-nose; NSX for SALE?

During an interview with a car collector, Matt Farah asked them "Why don't you off-road your seven-figure rally car?" It led us to an interesting discussion. Plus, the NSX is going up for sale, and Zack Klapman talks about his week driving a 1974 Porsche turbo converted into a slant-nose .
