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?

Everything  you NEED to know about WHEELS. Alan Peltier and Patrick Moran from HRE Wheels join us to discuss wheels of course.  Alan dives deep into wheel design and construction, while we spout off with our usual barrage of bullshit.  Additionally Alan teaches us what to look for when purchasing wheels.  Beyond all the wheel talk Zack spent some time with a new Tesla Model S and Matt had the good fortune of spending an afternoon with a Lexus LFA.  Want your question answered?

This week we welcome Rich Fowler of Motorsport Retro. We spend a bit of time talking F1 stuff mostly Prost vs. Senna and of course the new Räikkönen + Ferrari alliance.  We touch upon the mertis of Australia's V8 Super Car series vs NASCAR, the reckles aussie abandon that is Bathhurst, and of course Australia's most famous vehicles the utes.  Beyond all of that and our usual brand of bullshit, Rich is simply floored by our outlook on electric vehicles and hybrids; the Volt and Tesla Model S specifically.   Want your question answered?

This week we convene sans guest, that being said we make do.  Matt discusses his upcoming moderation of "Black Air" (Grand National Documentary) at the Jalopnik Film Festival.  Zack and Thad share tales of drag racing station wagons.  We thoroughly lambast the appearance of the Shelby Raptor, lust over a 64 Corvette autocross special, Matt reviews the Range Rover Sport, we say many kind words about Greg Fitzsimmons and more...  Want your question answered?

I'll get right to the cool stuff, Matt put 300 miles on a brand new C7 Corvette Stingray and Zack spent some time with the 2014 911 Turbo S.  Now the rest of this post is likely superfluous but what kind of sorry excuse for a podcaster/blogger would I be if I didn't expound a bit?Beyond two of the biggest names in sporting things with 4 wheels, Matt and Zack both made their ways to Europe and brought us the gift of stories from the "old country" and likely unending jealousy for many of our listeners.  Matt visited Koenigsegg and spent some time with their test driver as they flogged an Agera R for an afternoon; you know when he wasn't busy touring the continent in a brand new M6 Coupé (accent added for additional euro flavour (also the u because I'm feeling international)).  Whilst making his way across the continent the M6 may or may not have spanked a Ferrari 458.  If that wasn't enough Zack flew over to Germany to film the 2014 911 Turbo S for Tangent Vector, and it seems as though Porsche may have produced a car that is good.  In a different part of the country Matt was busy making his way around the Nürburgring Nordschleife because racecar.Oh yeah, and of course everybody is back from Pebble Beach and the Concours d'Elegance.  We make fun of snooty old money guys wearing stupid pants, the autmotive journalists who believe they're mocking them (even though they really aren't) and our plans for next years appearance at Pebble.All of that and the requisite number of dick and fart jokes.  Want your question answered?
