TST's own Thaddeus Brown has taken a vacation from his job filming in Dubai to return to the home base. After filming nearly half the content on /DRIVE and The Smoking Tire, he left to seek fame and sun burns. He's returned with tales of lawless driving, speed limits go ignored, the deletion of blinkers, turbo-charged off-roaders, and his 6-month stretch decidind what used car to buy. Should he buy a C63 AMG? Or a used Ford Raptor? What about a rally car? Maybe finance a McLaren (hint: no)? Or should he buy a BMW M3? The circle goes round and round.  Want your question answered?

This week's guest is David Patterson,  host of the YouTube channel thatdudeinblue! He started his channel and grew it organically, testing cars, attending events, and throwing wrenches. Now he's building a swapped 240SX, and has a blown Mustang GT to show for it. He's a good guy, puts out cool content, and has some great reasons why wrenching is not as easy as internet commenters make it sound.  Want your question answered?
