It's Matt and Zack in the studio today talking about what they've driven recently, and have on the to-drive list. Turns out there's a Hemi on both lists, which gives us a little pause. We talk about the new Veloster R Spec vs the Civic Si, weird one-off cars, Waze, and answer a lot of great questions. This episode is also a video: https://youtu.be/_YXtLv7KbKAFollow us!T: @thesmokingtire @zackklapman IG: @thesmokingtire @fakezackklapman  Check out our merch!https://teespring...

If you were born after 1970, you need to know what Radwood is. What started as a joke is now a multi-city event. It's a car show that celebrates the best and worst of the 80s and 90s; the cars, the fashion, the music. People show up in GT-Rs or Lebaron's, wearing mullet wigs, Addidas, neon, and more. It's a car show with a sense of humor. Rick, Art, and Lane are (some of) the creators of this wonderful madness. Check out Radwood's site for event info and redgistration: https://www.radwood...
