Crew, RUF Rodeo, and Parker's HUGE Win

Matt Farah and Zack Klapman might have driven their rarest car yet: the RUF Rodeo. Does a 7-figure rally car have something cheaper cars don't? Will they sell any of them? And what's Zack's issue with the buying market?

Plus, an update on the Meyers Manx problem; NASCAR driver and friend of the show, Parker Kligerman, finally has his best day ever (and doesn't get the credit); and we answer Patreon questions including:

• How to sit in your car
• Is there still a market for EV credits?
• How to make a boring car interesting
• To improve turn-in: tires or suspension?
• Can my 16 year-old handle rally school?
• Is an Audi R8 just a fancy R35 GT-R?
• Tiptronic swaps?
• Build your comedian dream racing team
• The best-sounding motorcycle is...
• And more!
