Spike's Car Radio

Spike sits down with Nolan and Joe from Donut Media to talk about building one of the biggest car channels on the internet, why Porsche content flops with younger audiences, and whether spending more money actually makes your car faster. Plus, someone drives onto elevated train tracks because their GPS told them to. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 💧 Pocket Hose - The #1 Expanding Hose in the World Text SPIKE to 64000 to get a FREE Pocket Pivot and 10-Pattern Sprayer with Purchase of the Pocket Hose Ballistic! 🪙 Acre Gold - Gold Investment Has Never Been Easier Visit https://GetAcreGold.com/SPIKE911 to start building your gold stash! 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

That last part is why Porsche content historically tanks on their channel. They get into the nuts and bolts of Donut's hit series HiLow (does more expensive actually mean more better?) plus the Low Truck Tacoma build, the Red Bull Soapbox race where a hollow 3D-printed Vin Diesel lost his head mid-run, and a fuel economy experiment in a supercharged Mustang. Nolan also walks back his take on RWB wide-body Porsches once the functional logic behind them clicks. On the controversy side: the latest HiLow season landing on Tubi upset fans, but Nolan explains the business reality of keeping the lights on while promising a YouTube return. And Spike tells the full story of how Jerry Seinfeld's brutally honest Huel live read got the show dropped from their ad roster. They close out with the electric Ferrari Luce debate, the Porsche Macan EV that actually drives like a Porsche, and a clueless driver who ended up on Seattle's elevated light rail tracks because she trusted her GPS. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Nolan and Joe 03:46 - How to get hired at Donut 12:39 - The prestige of Porsche 19:43 - 1984 Nissan 300ZX showcase 28:21 - HiLow modified Toyota Tacoma showcase 33:44 - The HiLow drama 43:29 - How to win a soapbox derby 52:27 - How to get 100MPG in a gas guzzler 59:48 - What it's like to work at Donut 1:06:01 - Why the Ferrari Luce is so controversial 1:12:23 - The worst drivers in the world Learn more about your ad choices.

Jay Leno stops by the SCR Garage to talk supercars, Secret Service snipers, and how he accidentally became a registered arms dealer. We review the Lotus Emira Turbo SE, and debate canyon carving ethics, the death of late-night TV, and what it takes to hit 210 mph on an Air Force runway. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

In this episode, he breaks down his latest haul: the Corvette ZR1, McLaren W1, Mustang GTD, and the wild 3D-printed Czinger 21C. He explains why the best cars today don't need ads, just a YouTube video and word of mouth. Jay also gets into what it was like hosting "Jay Leno's Garage" with President Joe Biden, complete with rooftop snipers, a custom Sheffield watch color-matched to Biden's '67 Corvette, and Hunter Biden showing up for ice cream. Jonny Lieberman brings a proper review of the Lotus Emira Turbo SE: AMG engine, fixed DCT programming, and enough British quirks to fill a whole segment. The group debates Porsche Boxsters, EU speed-limit beepers, and hidden phone chargers engineered for Chinese regulations. Jay also shares why he turned down a dramatic film role, what's in his apocalypse go-bag, and how a visit from the King of Jordan left him legally classified as an arms dealer. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Jay Leno 01:32 - Joe Biden's Corvette Stingray 06:53 - Jay's new cars 14:43 - Jay's Corvette ZR1X 22:11 - Jay's TANKS 27:35 - Why Jay bought a Czinger 21C 35:33 - Lotus Emira Turbo SE review 45:12 - Things we'll never get rid of 47:32 - Denim 48:08 - The Tonight Show 53:50 - Jay's thoughts on "Don't Cross the Mustard" 56:28 - The death of late night 58:42 - Watches Learn more about your ad choices.

Spike and Zuckerman break down their wild acquisition of a 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa with only 4,000 original kilometers. Then, the 'Don't Cross the Mustard' canyon driving controversy heats up, Spike reviews the Polestar 4, and boat car guy Phil rolls in with a street-legal Radio Flyer red wagon built on a Ford Explorer chassis. ______________________________________________ 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

They kick things off with Zuckerman's Panama trip (Miami, but with more suspicious bank buildings), then launch into the story of their newly acquired 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa, a former Dutch police car. It's got 4,000 original kilometers, Zenith triple-throat carbs, vinyl door sills for muddy cop boots, and a story so good Jerry Seinfeld called it 'meant to be.' Then things get spicy in the canyons. The hosts unpack the LA car community feud between Evan the Canyon Carver and pro racer Cort Wagner, who got caught on camera crossing the double yellow and didn't exactly apologize for it. Zuckerman delivers the verdict: crossing the mustard is indefensible, and claiming superior skill as your defense just means you're an a**hole. Spike then reviews the Polestar 4, a genuinely impressive EV with a baffling flaw: no rear window. Just a camera. He also takes issue with the buttonless key fob, the unreliable kick-to-open trunk, and the brand's insistence on using numbers instead of names. The episode closes with Phil and his masterpiece: a fully street-legal, highway-capable Radio Flyer red wagon built on a Ford Explorer chassis. He's driven it on the 405. He's passed people. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Zuckerman in Panama 02:21 - Our untouched '71 Porsche 911 T Targa 20:39 - Canyon Carver Cort Wagner beef 36:30 - Polestar 4 review 46:40 - THE RED WAGON CAR Learn more about your ad choices.

The episode takes unexpected turns with a bizarre Florida man vacuum story and appreciation for William Shatner enjoying cereal in his car during his "f**k it years." The show closes with a touching tribute to James Moylan, the unsung Ford designer who invented the arrow indicating your fuel tank's side. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Ferrari 12Cilindri 18:35 - CTR Ferrari 458 25:58 - Lamborghini Urus SE 29:30 - Toyota MR2 announcement 36:35 - Waymo hits child in elementary school zone 43:26 - Waymo plows through a set of parked cars 46:18 - Florida man vacuum incident 50:53 - William Shatner's car cereal 53:14 - The best tiny invention in cars Learn more about your ad choices.

The car has significant racing heritage, having won the 1968 Daytona 24-hour race with Vic Elford at the wheel. The episode also features Jerry's stunning Minerva Blue 1979 Porsche 928, featuring the unique blue Pasha interior and the iconic 4.5-liter V8 engine. Jerry's enthusiasm for the car's revolutionary design is contagious as he describes driving it as "being like a police dog attacking a foam-protected arm." The hosts also dive into YouTube inspiration from a Volvo rescue, debate their favorite Japanese cars (with Jerry expressing surprising interest in the new Honda Accord), and share personal stories about first cars and daily carry items. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Jerry Seinfeld 01:06 - Jerry's 10 year Porsche 907 restoration 13:09 - 1979 Porsche 928 review 19:58 - Red Bull RB17 21:38 - Jerry's Steve McQueen Porsche 917 22:38 - Abandoned Volvo 240 restoration 30:38 - JDM cars 33:35 - Ken Burns' The American Revolution 35:15 - 1973 Fiat 128 Sport L 40:51 - Best starter Porsche 356 41:49 - Porsche 944 42:47 - Waymo 43:49 - The TRUE cost of cars 52:17 - Norm Macdonald 53:01- Heritage series 911s 55:18 - Larry David Learn more about your ad choices.
