This week on Weekly Wire, *The Drive*'s Mike Spinelli, Will Sabel Courtney, and Eric Goeres sit down to discuss a pair of topics close to the hearts of everyone at the site: sports cars and drones. Among the news the panel touches on: [Google and Chipotle are joining forces to deliver burritos by drone](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5138/google-and-chipotle-are-building-burrito-delivery-drones>) to students and employees at Virginia Tech; two separate companies are now making [new tires for the 1990s-era Jaguar XJ220 supercar](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5134/the-jaguar-xj220-is-finally-getting-new-tires>); and what it's like to drive a classic [Porsche 911 that's been customized by the master craftspeople at Singer Vehicle Design](<https://www.thedrive.com/video/5143/driving-a-500-000-singer-customized-porsche-911-ruins-every-other-car>). And of course, there's the usual mix of inane jokes, offbeat cultural references, and in-depth conversation about classic rock. But to paraphrase LeVar Burton, you don't have to take our word for it.
