Matt Farah and Zack Klapman review the hugely powerful RTR Spec-5 (and how it compares to the Spec 3, the GT500, and Mustang GTD); the confusing reality of bad wine; more Waymo rain problems; how the EPA changes probably won't save you $1000; and Patreon questions include:

The best Ferrari to Safari?

What's the difference between an electric turbo and electric supercharger?

Why did GM abandon the Volt?

What we would choose over the Audi S5

Ford Mach-E the right commuter for a snowy office worker?

Is it cool to buy a used watch?

How is Toyota so different?

Help! I need to heat my feet but cool my body!

What meal would we cook with any famous chef?

And more!
