‘Auto journalist aren’t exactly the most highly paid people’
Didn’t Chris just buy a Ferrari, and doesn’t Matt have an Aston and a Corvette? >_>
The only reason …
The only reason for really expensive antique cars is nostalgia. I think that modern extremely expensive cars are good because they advance technology, etc. and eventually that technology goes into more cars.

To give Testament, meaning to Testify: to declare, profess, or acknowledge openly.

I’m not super-rich, but have a few nice cars, and my two “babies” are my `97 NSX, aka “tuning Money Pit” and a 12C Spider, no aka yet. The “gentlemen’s agreement” sounds spurious (means “fishy” in YouTube speak) to me. Unless the owner signs a paper waving all my liability, I’d assume that if I break it, I have to fix it (or buy it).
Not trying to be an ass, seriously, but what makes a person think that driving a person’s $2M toy comes without risk? For real, get insurance.

What is the redline on the 917? You briefly go 1500 over 7000 and the motor blows? It was about to go anyway.

I grew up in the 60’s in Los Angeles and through the years I would see countless Batmoblile replicas. I would pay 4.2 million for the original if I had money to burn.

I’d drive the original Batmobile over a ’50s porshe any day. not surprising to me that the batmobile sold for more.
Definitely one of …
Definitely one of the better Road Testaments so far in my opinion. Keep it up Spinooli
Why is it bullshit? …
Why is it bullshit? I often find myself watching every RT episode, but not all of the tests. It’s like a podcast, I can listen to great people discussing automotive topics while doing something else! What’s not to like?

You guys should set up a donation page for that journalist.. he’d be home free if every one of your subscribers donated under a dollar. I make $600/month, but I’m in!
