Matt Farah explains why he's skipping Pebble Beach this year in favor of Detroit's Woodward Dream Cruise, a gloriously chaotic 15-mile traffic jam of muscle cars, customs, and exotics taking over Woodward Avenue.


Matt then delivers a full road test breakdown of the new electric Porsche Macan GTS: $105K base, up to 570 horsepower on Overboost, dual-motor AWD, rear-axle steering, and surprisingly excellent daily drivability. Charging on Tesla Superchargers? Yes. Annoying proximity key issues like Polestar and Lucid? Not a problem here. Matt's verdict: if money weren't real, he'd drive it every day.


Spike gives an update on Morris Solomons, their boutique consignment dealership currently featuring a 1974 BMW Batmobile and a clean Toyota FJ Cruiser. Matt also brings a surprise COTA race trophy for Jonny Lieberman, recounting how Jonny selflessly stepped aside to let Matt double-stint, helping their team take the win.


Finally, Sheffield Watches founder Jay Turkbas joins to debut the Sheffield Sport ceramic tennis watch along with the updated SCR II blue dial and a sneak peek at a rotated-dial rally watch designed in collaboration with Jonny. Oh, and Joe Biden wore a custom Sheffield on Jay Leno's Garage. Not bad for a three-year-old brand.
