SSC Tuatara Review; No More Regs; Merc EVs

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!
