We Almost Rolled the INEOS Wagon

Matt Farah and Zack Klapman went off-roading in the new 2026 INEOS Grenadier Station Wagon Trialmaster and it almost went very wrong; a full review of the INEOS and its competitors; Tesla is ending production of the Model S and X, so we talk about why and what it means for the future; Washington D.C. is going to have an INDY street race apparently; and we answer 50 questions from our Patreon members, including:

• Would we rather be mid-tier racing drivers or have our current jobs?
• Which supercar should have had a diesel engine?
• Miata RF or soft-top?
• Best M5: E90 M5 or E90 M3?
• Most enthusiast-magnet nerd car?
• Are "classic" tires worth the price for my older car?
• Which cars does every enthusiast need to drive?
• More timeless design: Lexus GS or C6 Corvette?
• Do we like bigger wheels? When?
• Were early paddle-shifted transmissions cool when they came out?
• That new Porsche Rally GT
• Why does the S63 AMG feel like too much AMG and not enough S?
• F1 2026: Audi vs Cadillac. Thoughts?
• Which cars depreciate TOO fast?
• Why don't STIs hold value?
• Options that made cars unreliable
• Would you always choose a lighter engine in a race car?
• Foreign car brands that would work here
• And many more!

Note: Upon watching Coffeezilla's analysis of the files it appears that Peter Attia's relationship with Jeffrey E was more than just "In the same room at an event." It is unclear what their relationship was but their email exchanges are concerning. It should go without saying that we hope all facts come to light and justice is served to any and all deserving of it. - Zack
