Episode notes

The theme show returns! Matt Farah and Zack Klapman choose their top 5 favorite cars that got their engines from different company than the one that designed and built the car. Think Mercedes engine in a non-Mercedes. Surprisingly, Matt and Zack only overlap on one car.

There's also an update on clingy M3 steering fittings; a discussion of tartan placement; and questions from the Patreon members including:

- Which company should close their doors: Maserati, Chrysler, Nissan, or Jaguar?
- At what point do you sell your high-maintenance daily?
- How did we react to the Dodge Neon SRT-4?
- Where will Rivian be in 5 years?
- What is the stupidest "performance" modification?
- Which era had the best clothing?
- Beautiful cars that don't get enough attention
- It's the year 2040. What 3 early 2000s cars do you buy to cosplay rich person?
- Should Hyundai make a $200,000 EV sports car?
- What is the difference in feel between a Ferrari V12 and a Lamborghini V12?

And more!
