**25% Tariffs and Their Impact**
The newly implemented 25% tariffs will affect virtually everyone in the automotive world, even if you only buy used cars. Parts imported from outside the US are subject to these tariffs, which is why I rushed to purchase components from FVD Brombacher in Germany before prices increase. We'll have a deep conversation about how this affects the market and your wallet.

**992.2 Turbo Hybrid Confirmation**
Following up on our previous discussion, we now have official confirmation about the 992.2 Turbo hybrid. We'll close the loop on this development and what it means for the future of the 911 lineup.

**Porsche Penske Racing Success**
Porsche Penske secured impressive 1-2 finishes at Sebring! This is significant because it demonstrates the car's versatility - winning both the 24-hour Daytona and the shorter Sebring track. This challenges the previous notion that these cars would only perform well on certain tracks. What does this mean for Le Mans?

**911 Carrera Price Increases vs. Corvette Z06**
Car and Driver reported the new 911 Carrera now starts at $129,950 - an $8k increase. Meanwhile, the new Corvette Z06 costs $127,345 with its naturally aspirated 670 horsepower engine. With the addition of tariffs, the American sports car is looking like an incredible bargain. What would you choose?
