episode 5: Sydney Sweeney | Why Not Just Go After It All?
"My parents told me to fall in love with as many things as possible," says Sydney Sweeney, the actress best known for her roles in HBO's "Euphoria" and "White Lotus." In Sydney’s case, and to the surprise of many, that includes restoring vintage cars. She talks with Jim Farley about fighting for the hard stuff, driving manual in Australia, and getting (and restoring) her dream car.
