I don’t like thinking every shop I take my car to is full of thieves and con-artists. But if you don’t go in thinking that you will be taken advantage of.
    I know there are good shops out there. But I’ve seen so many people besides myself ripped off by the criminals that run a lot of them. It’s a black mark on the entire industry and one that people don’t want to talk about.

    How was Matt able to go to Donnie's shop and collect his car and all the pieces? I'm italian and when something like this happens the police is seizing (or at least putting seals) to the shop of the person arrested so they can "freeze" the situation and start the investigation. After a while, when they have inspected everything and figured out the situation, you are able to claim your car and have it back. More to this, how can Matt know which parts are his and not from someone else? Genuinely interested to better understand all this..

      That is why you take friends or a mechanic who has worked on one. It's also why getting video or photo updates of work is a good idea from a mechanic. Always ask your lawyer or the Police involved in the case. If Donnie has been accused of selling your parts to other people or buying stolen parts then it's not a good idea to take it unannounced. Don't do this on your own as other people see it as an opportunity to rob the place if they know that you are the key. You should also do the same thing, photos/video back at Donnie of the stuff you took. This way if the other customers decide to rob the place you don't get Donnie coming after you once he is out of jail.

    Matt sounds like he's dead on about the ego thing. Let's say this owner or a couple owners got into a payment dispute with Donnie and he told them to pound sand and filed the mechanic's liens. And he wasn't legitimately licensed in order to do so. Then that's their path to getting the cars back is suing and proving he didn't have legitimacy to take possession of the cars. And while that lawsuit is ongoing Donnie thinking "fuck these guys I took them legit when they wouldn't pay me" and then trying to move them is the ego moment. And for there to be a sting operation for the sale and for him to be in jail with that kind of bond for this means he likely got into a feud with the wrong person. In the underworld you'd roll up packing with your homies and take your car back at gunpoint. In this world the homies are the cops and your lawyers.

      Yes, this was not a dispute over $6 washers. He was well known in Ferrari circles for overcharging, the guy with the $130,000 restoration of a 328 tried to sell his car on BAT and posted receipts. $1650 for an alternator that you buy new from Bosch for $110 as it's on a BMW. Donnie had done the same shakedown of trying to sell the customers Monza and the guy paid up.

      Donnie's profile is similar in many trades, experienced technician disillusioned with customers who only do the bare minimum. Finds customers who want them to use them privately as the industry has moved on and feels the gatekeeper to this skillset. Unwilling to teach others as the supply dries up they become unwelcome to people learning or bringing new twists into the field, some manifesting in overtly theatrical processes or actions. So they don't use gauges or specialist tools, they need a type of music playing then they work, a lucky tool or hat, it's an act now so people pay for the show or they make it look like you need this to carry out this task. The more creative the field the more eccentric this can become. Whilst their experience is respected and there is a high proportion of poor quality materials in some things, they view customers as idiots because they do not indulge them in their root to fruit process especially if there is a fault with their work, they want to attribute to the materials or products, but never themselves. Axel Rose being a fine example of this, but he only works on Early Honda's

      There are many, many elements of his fiddling with Matt's Countach that were not correct or how do we put this? it's a RUclips entertainment aspect of how Donnie worked. The easy one to see is how he took the engine/box out, you reverse the car next to your work bench, bolt a fwd engine brace onto the holes in your 2 post hoist to lift it. Use jacks to raise the rear of the car up a foot or so to clear the gear lever and then roll the car out. He was taking bits off which he didn't need to and the sight of him spreading the car out across the hanger was very much 'a man who works alone' type of work ethic.

    On the Taycan they have a regen setting, it is active in sport or sport plus but available with a button on the steering wheel for normal mode. Yes, it’s not one peddle but it’s a reasonable equivalent of engine braking. However, since there is only one gear (I know, it has a 2 speed trans but it’s not selectable) it’s nowhere near as aggressive as downshifting. The first thing I do when I get in is hit that button, I really dislike coasting.

    100 Octane will prevent knock. That's about it. But we definitely use the WORST quality fuel possible for testing, as poor fuel moves timing to a point where it's HOT.
    You'd theoretically keep combustion chamber temps lower on 100 Octane. That does not equal power in today's ECU/enrichment maps.

    Criminal charges like these are not just pulled out of the air by one person..Think about how the justice system works...The cop takes a report, refers it to a detective who feels out the validity of case, refers it up his chain, goes to prosecutor, who takes it to the judge for a warrant. They wouldnt do all that if they didnt have a case. This case has been vetted, your buddy Callaway is screwed..

    1:48:20 - DCT cars will probably become more collectible, but not because of transmission. Mostly because of the engine. There is currently no automatic gearbox in production which can take 9000 engine rpms. DCTs can do that. This is the reason new Z06 Corvette, Old M3, Lambos, R8s, Ferraris, Mclarens have DCT gearboxes. All this cars have engines which can rev >7500 rpm.

    From my point of view I think you have only one option to get your Countach reassembled to the best factory endorsed quality and that's Iain Tyrrells Classic Workshop in the UK.

    The question you answered about brake rotors rusting on electric cars is not exclusive to electric cars.
    Cars the don't get driven much or only see short trips have the same problem.
    Rotors on most cars are cast iron, and cast iron is porous allowing moisture to get into the metal. This problem is worse in cold and humid climates. Regular driving heats the rotors enough to cook the moisture out. In electric cars and those that do short trips the rotors don't regularly get hot enough to remove the moisture. What you wind up with is rust build up on the braking surface, this often creeps in from the edges and is why good quality rotors are coated with an anti-corrosion coating.
    In the end it's not a big deal, you just wind up having to replace the pads and rotors early.
    It takes years for this corrosion to build up but many electric vehicle owners might be caught off guard because they thought the brakes would last longer due to regen.

    1:47:07 Rust on EV brakes is probably one of the most common (among the few) problems EVs often have in Norway. Probably because of salting roads in winter. The solution is simple: Make sure to regularly do some hard breaking on downhills to make sure the brakes engage. Slow one pedal drivers might have to change brakes because of rust, not wear.

The engine can be rebuilt and dynoed on its own.

      shipping an entire Countach body, drivetrain, body panels, and various boxes of suspensions components and boxes of parts will also cost a lottttt more than what it cost Doug to ship his car to Ohio. Enclosed car transport is relatively cheap as hell at the cost of $1 a mile but when you need to add in an engine/transmission and everything else on a pallet(s) you're looking at a signficantly larger sum.
