This week Mike Musto, Chris Harris, Mike Spinelli and JF Musial of /Drive join us and as usual it's a complete melee. We start off discussing our respective ages soon to follow with admiration for Nino's beard.  Chris Harris gets a taste of Los Angeles by sharing a hotel with bikers and driving through South Central.    We talk about the reorganization of GM and Chrysler, the merits of transverse leafsprings, meanwhile touching upon important cultural figures such as Vanilla Ice, M.C. Hammer, Ice T and of course drunk Hitler. Want your question answered? Want to watch the live stream, get ad-free podcasts, or exclusive podcasts?

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.
