Matt Farah is back from being the hot shoe for Road & Track's Performance EV of the Year test, where cars were slid, went fast, scared a motorcyclist, and even gave Matt a little "brown moment". He gives us some incredible stories (without giving away the winner) from the test. Something was stolen from Zack Klapman. Then we answer Patreon questions including:

Which $40k-$80k Porsche for topless summer fun?
How will EV power-trains let automakers change designs?
Is the M5 trying to be a Bentley?
How much of a car is built by the car company vs suppliers?
Will hybrid systems halt the development of ICE engines?
How do I get inspired to take car photos?
Should I test drive a car I love before I buy it?
How to solve the X3M Comps stiffy problem?
IS the C6 ZO6 the right step from a Miata?
How to avoid burn out?
Can you be content with a car?
Why are 2020 Nissan GT-Rs holding their value?
