Sam from Seen Through Glass @seenthroughglass joins Spike and Zuckerman fresh off driving a $3.5M Ferrari 275 GTB/4, alongside a 300SL Gullwing and a Porsche 356 Speedster. If you think a 1960s Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is going to feel like a racecar, Sam has news for you.
Spike then drops the wildest California history you probably never heard: how Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys let the Manson Family move in, and how two separate Ferrari 275 GTBs got destroyed in the process. One was rolled so badly it was crushed down to the steering wheel before a full restoration brought it back.
On the modern side, the group breaks down the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring vs the 911 S/T, Andreas Preuninger's steering recalibration after customer feedback, seat choices, and why GT2 RS values keep climbing. They also get into the Fiat Grande Panda as a daily driver, the retro Renault 5 and 4, and how Chinese brands like Jaecoo and BYD are forcing legacy European automakers to lean hard into heritage and history.
Also on the docket: left-lane campers getting the punishment they deserve, a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE with 3,709 km listed at Gooding and Company at Pebble Beach, a Buzzfeed list of the most disgusting things found in men's apartments, and Monterey Car Week plans.
