Bad Nostalgia Examples; TX Kei Trucks; We Polled You

Paul and Todd from Everyday Driver sit down and talk with us about their new documentary 50 Years of the 911.  In addition we cover how cars acquire character as they age, the Tesla Model S, YouTube "rentals", the current drama at Morgan automotive and Matt talks about his time spent with the new Audi RS7.  Normally this is where I attempt to inject some humor but I'm struggling to stay awake, so insert your own damn joke on the line provided _______________________________________ Want your question answered?

Thad, Matt, Zack and Tom return from a Tuned shoot in Panama; bringing us all the gift their perspective but also dick and fart jokes.  First up, diesel Ford Rangers are apparently a thing that happens as is incessant honking, highly modified Suzuki Samurais, "casino" hookers, 900HP Evoloutions VIIs, and hurdling behemoths modified to the hilt known as Diablo Rojo buses.  All that and more on yet another episode of what is undeniably the most crass automotive podcast nobody ever asked for, The Smoking Tire.

This week we convene without a guest, but we don't need one because Matt and Zack have driven plenty of new cars in the last week.  At the Chyrsler press event the Ram Pro Master, Dart GT, Fiat 500e, Cherokee Trail Hawk and Grand Cherokee diesel were all abused and thrown recklessly  enthusiastically driven, occassionally with passengers in designated cargo areas.  Matt also shares his experience with the mid-cycle refresh of the Panamera to be followed by discussions of flight lessons, high class hobos, and pizza delivery.   Want your question answered?
