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!
