The conversation shifts to what makes watches cool (or not), with insights about how wearing a Rolex can sometimes put people off. James then unveils his "Cool Cars for Cool Guys in 2026" recommendations, boldly declaring that Ferraris under $100,000 are the new cool while Porsches have lost their edge due to market inflation. The guys analyze a viral video of a California mom using her G-Wagon to ram suspected burglars (Mercedes, take note for your next Super Bowl commercial). Spike delivers a glowing review of the Bentley Bentayga Speed, praising its performance in all conditions and functional luxury. The episode concludes with listener New Year's resolutions and car dreams, including a vintage manual Jaguar story from Netflix's "Unfrosted" set. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing James Pumphrey 02:13 - The holidays 04:42 - James at the Dakar Rally 08:56 - Collecting watches 15:05 - Cool cars for 2026 20:59 - EV vs ICE cars 22:51 - Why Porsche isn't cool anymore 28:34 - Collecting 80s vs 60s car 30:32 - Mom uses G-Wagon to ram burglar car 35:08 - 2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed review 42:38 - New Years resolutions 47:44 - Aspirational cars 51:28 - Driving manual #spikescarradio #speeed #jamespumphrey #donut #carpodcast #porsche #bentley #bentleybentayga #tudor #dakar #dakardesertrally #carcollection #gwagon #automotivecomedy
