McLaren's Entry Level Car Costs $255,000?!

Spike, Jonny, and Zuckerman cover the McLaren Artura, Jay Leno's classic car smog exemption bill, and a wild breakdown of the Reacher actor's neighbor brawl. Plus: money laundering in the watch world, Tyler Sheridan's recycled TV formulas, and whether the Porsche Cayman really holds value better than everything else.

This week in the SCR Garage: Spike wrestled a tire cover onto his Bronco and Jonny put a phone mount in his Rivian — small wins, maximum joy. Zuckerman got his '66 with freshly fettled carbs and calls it a brand-new car after 14 years. Then it's a full review of the McLaren Artura — great daily driver, great canyon carver, but does it have the dream factor? Jonny says "I love McLarens. I'm not in love with this McLaren."

The guys also dig into Jay Leno's renewed effort to kill smog tests for classic cars in California, a luxury watch trader doing 15 years for drug money laundering (and whether the same thing's happening in car auctions), and an anti-AI Waymo attack. Russell Crowe's watch collection gets a proper salute, and Tyler Sheridan's TV universe gets roasted for its very reliable coed shower formula.
