Hey {{First Name|fellow gearheads}}! 👋
If Santa brought one car this year—just one—what would you choose?

🚗 What We Did in Cars This Week
A visit to one of the most impressive private collections we’ve ever seen (no cameras allowed, sadly)
Targa Bar, vintage 911 prep, and a candid discussion about mileage, gear wear, and why almost every classic 911 has lived a hard mechanical life
📰 Automotive News
Reports of Porsches in Russia being rendered inoperable via software attacks—sobering implications for modern cars

🔍 Topic of the Week: Bring a Trailer Deep Dive
What’s hot.
What’s overheated.
And what you won’t be able to buy at these prices much longer.
🎄 This or That: Christmas Edition
You’ve been good. Santa’s generous.
One car. $130,000 total budget.
Yes—it can be a 911.
Modern GT cars, air-cooled Targas, sleeper specs, and one very tempting Dutch Police tribute SC. We make the picks. You argue with us.
💬 Listener Questions & Feedback
