The Smoking Tire

This week we bring you an onslaught of automotive industry asshattery, with too many damned people in the room.  We're joined by Mike Spinelli, Travis Okulski, Brendan McAleer and Austin Cabot. Mike gives us his take on on the Porsche GT3 RS as well as an overview of the soundtrack to Dante's Peak, Stevee Nicks encounters and a young boy's take on Burt Monroe.  Travis gives us some insight into the Ferrari F12 TDF as well as his take on unnecessarily ostentatious german press tours. Whilst Brendan and Austin take a far more measured approach jabbing with the occassional one-liner or groan inducing pun as we power our way through two power outages mid show.

Recording on Back to the Future Day Matt arrives somewhat annoyed at the prevelance of commentary on his DeLorean. Matt's annoyance is tempered with a recent to the FIRM rally school in Florida where the guys all got turns to abuse some of their finest rally vehicles, a Miata and strangely enough a Tahoe. In addition to rallying Matt brings tales of runway racing from Shift Sector, we discuss hydraulic handbrakes, the new McLaren 570s and the new NSX. Want your question answered?
