The bro just needs to turn on the sound compressor and it will make everything louder and clearer. I don’t know unless if there’s an entire dog inside the microphone. Either that or their microphone box can’t process all three mics.

Definitely buy the c7! they’re incredibly underrated - it’s the only modern, lightweight, manual, RWD, NA v8 sports car I can think of, at least for reasonable money. I can honestly say that after owning a 996, an Evora S, and a v8 vantage 4.3 that the c7 is my favorite car I’ve ever owned. Get past the image issues and it’s a fantastic drivers car and such a thrill. Do it!

What are your feelings on the other three? With all due respect to the Aston, the Evora is the most special, at least from what I've heard.

@@AmosDohms the Evora was incredible, best steering of the 4 by far, and what some people don’t realize is that the intake is mounted much higher than on a Porsche so the intake noise and supercharger whine is right next to your ear, which is wonderful. I will say it didn’t feel quite as planted as the other in the corners, and it’s by far the hardest to live with (no dealer network, limited parts support, brutal to get in an out of, no storage or cup holders, terrible ergonomics, etc.). I also prefer an open roof and the Evora is the only one that doesn’t offer that. It’s an amazing car, but I think I’d take the Aston and c7 ahead of it. Definitely liked it better than the 996 though. Can’t go wrong!

So many people complaining about the audio. It was only bad for one minute. Literally one minute. 😂 Why are people in such a hurry to complain in the comments? It sounds like they forgot to turn on the audio recorder for the news update, so they boosted the camera audio as best they could. Easy mistake to make, perfectly reasonable solution. The only other real issues I noticed… 1. They should put the mics in shock mounts to help reduce that thump sound whenever they touch the desk. Especially considering how much Doug likes to talk with his hands. 😂 2. Doug gets so animated sometimes that he isn’t always speaking into the mic. I think he gets so into the conversation, he forgets the mic is even there. The more he records, the better he’ll get with his mic technique. Minor technical stuff aside, this is great, Doug and the others are great, and I’m so excited about the way he’s branched out after that big sale. Love this. Keep it up, you guys!

Controversial take on convertibles: no, automakers only regressed back to soft top roofs because they're cheaper and bring recurring revenue to dealerships for fabric top replacement. Mercedes notoriously backslided to cloth roof SL's and the car is much louder than the surreal silence experienced in the R230 and R231 glass roof generations. But soft tops don't require that exquisite virtuoso engineering like Mercedes' hardtop glass roof convertibles. SL's are perhaps the best example of the failures of fabric roof backsliding with catastrophic depreciation because the luxury, refinement, security, practicality, safety and aerodynamic efficiency has been lost in the roof.
I had a rare car blow my mind this week, I saw a Geo metro box truck. It kinda looked like it had a big fiber glass cooler on the back.
Doug is the kind of guy to do some things under an overpass and other things in a man's house
Watching the discussion of Filippo wanting a C7 after seeing Filippo's video of renting the C7 Corvette was a treat.
I love Convertible Cars. They are my favorite type of cars. Basic people drive Sedan and SUV. Also the Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible was a great Convertible. This is why the car industry sucks today. Not everyone wants a basic SUV. I want a glamorous Convertible.
My greatest random car spot: Ferrari Enzo driving outside Reno, NV 👀
13:27 kennan with the call about new balances hahahahahahahaha 😂 under rated burn
Love the genuine and natural friendly banter between you guys :)
Podcast advice- make sure you have the different chapters of the video segmented when it goes live so we can easily jump around
Soft top convertibles are LAME. Targa tops and t tops are soooo much cooler. Doesn’t ruin the appearance of the car by chopping a third of it off, yet still get the open air experience.

"What was his name?" Felipo throws exceptional shade.
Jeep, Bronco and Gladiator are biggest selling convertibles because they have the greatest utility. 4WD and back seats at a reasonable price. Most other convertibles are RWD sports cars - which I also love (and have 3 of them), but as an owner of a Wrangler and Bronco, the daily functionality with the family in the snow belt, they are undeniably useful.
Filippo needs a c5 z06
Only true Doug fans will remember Filipo’s Spectra
Filipo. Get a 370z. They are holding value. And the power is between NB Miata and corvette. I went from NB to NC to 370z to 2016 Camaro SS
The audio is fine for normal people with normal expectations. The crying in these comments about the sound is unwarranted.
I remember the day I saw an F50 by the Fort Lauderdale Airport. It was a humminah humminah moment for sure. But there's ALOT of high priced cars in the Fort Lauderdale area. But I've only seen one F50 in my entire life on the move through traffic.
The German word for fish is Fisch, so the reason they called it the Goldfisch is not just because the designer was Herr Fisch
“The road is for cars not trees” thanks Doug, very cool.
Here to point out Kennan mentioning the F40 in another video 🤣🤣
Filippo saves the current version of the show . These days Doug and Kennan sound like college kids who's fathers gave them jobs
21:43 I stood in front of this at the Techno Classica Motor Show in Essen this year. Wild concept
41:40 never forget the video of Doug cutting up in traffic in the CGT on a California highway😂
I was never a convertible guy, but my wife wanted an S5 Cab... and now I'm a vert guy! Although if I were to get a C8- it would be the HTC.
Doug, why don't you use your clout (no matter how small!) to tell these automakers we want T-Tops/Targa tops back? The most perplexing of this is Toyota. Usually automakers say that "too much weight, additional stiffening needed" for this. Toyota, the king of 9/10s (they seemingly purposely screw up something holding it from perfection every time), brought back the Supra which was noted for a Targa top, built the Supra OFF A CONVERTIBLE chassis, and didn't give us a Targa/T-Top. If Toyota brings back the MR2, they will screw up and omit that feature as well. Tell them no. No. You will make the new MR2 not only mid-engined, gas only, and well over 300hp to make it hit 4.0 or sub-4 0-60 times, but also a T-Top roof. Oh, and price it reasonably. Tell them to off-set it's cost with the hyper-inflated and padded profits they're making off that drastically overpriced Tacoma and their 18 other trucks and SUVs.

Hey Doug I have a 2019 GT350, black with a white stripe. It is fully unmodded except for some throttle map little thing the previous owner put on. I bought it last year at 8,900 miles and right now it has 15,900 miles. I have a full set of brand new tires (super sports since the cup2s wear out at just 6k miles). Still haven’t put those on tho.
Somethings wrong with it. sounds like its doubled up somewhere with a tiny phase shift. bummer. Can confirm - does seem to get resolved fairy quickly and back to to 'pretty good'.
Lexus definitely took the S Class from Mercedes for a good while. Not BMW. Maybe that one James Bond year though
21:40 there is a scene at Mr. Bean Series, where he always wants to be one step ahead of some random dude in his hotel. ends up with food poison. reminds me of BMWs attempt :D
I remember one day in San Clemente, I saw a Suzuki Alto, right after that I saw a Citroen SUV. I was looking at a beautiful house in San Clemente and right down the street from it was a Mercedes bus. I thought it was a VW bus from far away but then I got closer.
Excuse me, Doug, some of us cherish our old, passed down tradition of Italian cheapness. Our earliest memories of our grandfathers involve collecting buckets of nickels and checking our account balances hourly. 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
In 1981, the only two production four seat Convertibles were a Rolls Royce corniche and a VW Rabbit Convertible. I bought the VW, and I still have one. Also, I have a Gladiator convertible too.
Convertibles are the ultimate luxury cars, always will be👍
A blue/white Gen 2 viper GTS isn't a $50k car anymore, it's an $80k car now. Only the G1, G2 Verts and G3 go for $50k or under. G2 Coupes are all over $60k and the blue/white is $80k+
The early 991 911 turbo S is such an amazing car
please Doug make the test drive of the mosler eldoraro twinstar, and make sure to try the back seats to see if they are different from the regular caddy eldorado
I feel like this is the dunk on felipo every week podcast
53k miles, accident, mods… that sounds exactly in line with comps.

Aloha! Can you guys recommend the best the unpractical practical car for 70000 USD or less for a DINK? Two or 2x2 seater, mid-engine (manual TM if possible) with boot/frunk space for say a 10-14 days read trip in Europe (lightly packed). Can be slightly used :D Bonus, automatic hardtop :)
Spent two years driving all over Florida looking for a decent yj, finally found the best looking six cyl stick decent mods (guy also had a self-built dune buggy and other toys). Best and worst 4k ever (this was in ~2015)
Bellevue, WA is good car spotting.
Sounds like Doug needs to get a 4x4 Ford E350 15 passenger.
I remember seeing the v16 engine in that Jonny English movie
Philipo should get himself a 996. Or an Audi S5. I think a C7 would be great too. Another option would be a Jaguar F Type.
There is no way a media outlet of this caliber has audio this bad.....major oversight. There is no way anyone involved should be okay with this, and somehow it got UPLOADED? Guys cmon.
The audio on the podcast sounds better than the video. But I came here to say: I love when people with economics degrees talk about car prices :-)
Real suggestion for Felippo, he would enjoy a BMW M2 I think that's the next tier up after his Miata in RWD, I don't know if hes the corvette type of guy... good suggestion renting one to try loll
C5 Z06 is the answer. Decent one for $20k, will feel more special and won't depreciate like a base C7.
my next car was supposed to be a convertible but there just wasnt enough options. i ended up not getting one
Id love to know where you can find a clean title GT350R in the 50k’s per felipo..
