When is a Car Too Perfect?; No Bubble Wrapping; Theon 911 Restomod

Theon Design is a new competitor in the Porsche 911 restomod space and Matt Farah lets us know how it drove. He and Zack Klapman also discuss the psychology of buying a car you never plan to drive; why "bubble wrapping" a sports car is not a good financial decision; Bring-a-Trailer and CarandBids selling advice; when perfect is TOO perfect; and more.

Plus questions from our Patreon members include:

Do cars really feel different when you change the drive mode?

What's a "bad" EV?

Doug Demuro's Porsche people

Is Kia winning the EV SUV game?

How to talk someone out of their first car

Which press cars did we want more time with and which did we not?

Why don't cars come with built-in dash cams?

The most interesting "lost media" car?

Could Continental break off from Lincoln?

What cars are built like tanks but don't look it, and vice versa?
