In this podcast we have Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon, the hosts of Motor Trend's hit shows "Head-2-Head" and "IGNITION". Jonny has been on these shows for years, but Jethro is a new import from England, with the accent and drifting skills we've come to expect from writers across the pond. They're in town shooting a McLaren 720S, so we talk about that. We argue about the Acura NSX, Jonny defends Honda Civic Type R's cooling system, and discuss the crazy things Mercedes owns. Other topics include ICON's Derelicts, McLaren F1s, Porsche purchases, NSX pricing and sales, whiskey, and plenty else.  This show is available as a video!https://youtu.be/KH3wtk2bi3kWatch Head-2-Head here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjz4Q0jBqXs&list=PLA97180860447EE6AWatch IGNITION here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVX8OAHYxm8&list=PLEFAC5D656286E89B Want your question answered?

In this episode, recorded on location, Matt visits O.G. Luxury Tuner and customizer Matt Figliola, founder of AI Design in Tuckahoe, NY. Matt and his band of genius craftsmen have been building tricked out luxury vehicles since 1992, and have set several industry standards for incredible, stealth design. Matt Figliola is also credited with popularizing Matte Black paint in 2005, upon revealing a then-unknown skateboarder named Ken Block's customized CLS55. Matt discusses trends in the customizing industry, revisits some of his favorite builds, and talks about some of the insane technologies his customers ask him to install into their vehicles. We also dissect some of the best technologies and speakers in the car stereo market. One of AI's most famous builds is Alex Roy's "Polizei144" BMW M5, so Alex joins us to talk about augmented reality, autonomous driving, and what the future of luxury customizing might look like. Check out AI Design's crazy work at: http://www.aidesign.comCheck out Alex's new high-end NYC Stereo Boutique at: https://www.nohosound.com/This show is available as a video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRimKNRoFrc  Want your question answered?
