I would put Chris Harris right along side him. The two of them are definitely a special breed.

He joins podcasts monthly-ish on Issimi channel.

His car journalism is on par with Matt without the douchery

@@Cypress_green him, quiroga, sam smith and chris harris. I'd bring in henry catchpole and dickie meaden in too.

@@TaPaKaH1 "ish". It's been 3 months now lmao

this 😅

Nah it’s so you can’t see where Jason lives. It’s for privacy

@@Youcallthesebagels_ Matt has that photography degree and he knows what the fuck he's doing with lighting

My retinas are seared

It looks like shit, good job degree man.

I would take Jason's advice over ANYBODY

I am not an american but I couldnt listen to this shit WOKE podcast. worst smoking tire podcast ever.

Dude I came here to post this same sentiment. Cammisa right now is like how I felt about Chris Harris 10 years ago, "This dude is a true car nerd, I could listen to him all day!"

I agree hagerty is making some big KZfaq moves I loved the recent appraisal content on the Rambo Lambo too.

@@Chris-hw4mq you are definitely American, I see from previous comments diversity makes your skin crawl lmfaooooo

Its almost as if intent is the problem and not the words them self....

@@cozza819 agreed. We realize that Matt isn't a terrible human so we can discern that ourselves. I think this is a bit of an overreaction....

Okay

@@JDMism yakO

@@cozza819 ааааааааааа

The gr86 video was amazing

I miss the times when Zach (Mr Obvious) wasn’t around in Smoking Tire. He seems like a parrot … no added value

@@David_Journey What really? I think Matt’s personality shines through with a genuine friend around. Zach definitely has his own preferences vs Matt as well.

We appreciate that! Give us a review on itunes if you can spare the time. It helps.

@@David_Journey What are you talking about? Zack has been on the podcast since the start when it was all "Shut up Darla!" and Nino on the sound board. There has never been The Smoking Tire without Zack and he brings a great deal to the table.

I said the same, a joke is a joke. Matt has a good heart, hopefully no one was super offended

@@BullittKid08 As long as you hate Trump publicly, your good in my book. You can make any joke you want.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

@@own3d4u I hate Trump. I also hate Biden. Where do I stand?

@@joshuahenry7482 A reasonable human being

Second this

He is a busy man, but I agree, that would make my day!

They fixed that a few months back.

Just as I’m doing house work, I put this on in the background ..

I started reading your comment right when I got to that part lol

I seen one the other day and it looks and sounds like a total recall car, its like rolling security architecture

Sorry for your loss Mike. You’re a gem too, been a fan since you and Matt were coworkers.

As an Asian it was one of my favorite movies

They “slurred” EVERYONE in that movie-Asians, Blacks, Whites and broke it down even further with Polish, Italians, Irish and Catholics. EVERYONE got their turn in this movie. The whole context of the movie is lost and twisted. The chracter Walt, was NOT racist and literally sacrificed his remaining life so a kid staddling the fence between light and dark could have a chance at a better life. C’mon people!!!

@@adogmcdizzle i call it vintage racing to if your an ancient white guy throw out mick or pollack how can you not a laugh a little bit its crazy when it happens

He’s referring to Clint Eastwood in general, not just a movie role. A great actor with some suspect beliefs

Oh I second that! A nerd-fest good-cop-bad-cop dynamic for sure

that's why these upcoming EV trucks will be great, indeed many people do need trucks and don't drive anywhere near 300-400 miles per day. these can be replaced with EVs and we get the best of both worlds

Yes, but their point was you guys could have done those tasks in medium sized trucks, and the new ones are WAY bigger than they need to be. If Vice Grip Garage can revive a dead ‘75 Blazer and immediately drag around half buried cars with seized brakes, then you don’t need a 3 ton Cummins or dually in your life.

But the people they're talking about are the people who buy big capable trucks and never use them in that manner. They're not talking about people who actually need them. There's no actual thing to be arguing here.

@@kevinandrew_ yeah. but one of the people talking about those people is the guy operating a friggin parking garage for toy cars which are never used as intended in a city with a housing crisis. so, pot, kettle and the whole thing.

@@sebastiankaiser5165 driving a giant fuel waster tens of thousands of miles per year vs enthusiast and collectable cars that get driven sparingly. Not the same at all.

Not the beat podcast imo.

or you could've gotten an 07 tsx and an actually better 1st gen honda ridgeline used. Would cost about the same and you wouldn't have to drive a fugly and big crossover/trucc around town.

@@thehumanoid6543 You don't think the 1st gen Ridgelines are fugly? For the record, I have been a fan of the Ridge since it came out, but I find the 2nd gen much more attractive and the latest facelifted model pretty handsome. I've not driven a 1st gen, but there seems to be a general concensus within the Ridgeline community that the 2nd gen model provides a nicer driving experience. You could make the argument that the simpler mechanicals are less trouble prone, but that's an argument anybody will make when comparing older and newer vehicles. I'd rather have a new vehicle with a warranty. The Ridgeline isn't a small vehicle, but it's manageable and drives smaller than it is. I've owned two vehicles before. I had an Accord as my daily and an older Chevy Silverado for when I needed to do truck stuff. I got tired of keeping up with 2 vehicles (not including my wife's). I also started having pain sitting in the Accord. I'd drive my truck and the pain went away. My right hip can't tolerate sitting low to the floor, so cars are a no-go. I need to be in either a crossover or a pickup, so might as well have a pickup that drives like a car. The Ridgeline gets nearly the same mpg as my wife's small crossover, so I drive it longer distances. I drive her vehicle when I am parking in crowded areas. Only thing I would change is replacing the wife's car with an EV, but at $40 a month we spend on gas for her vehicle which is paid off, that makes 0 economic sense. We both work from home. I drive a bit on the weekends, but that's it. Both our vehicles are paid for, will be very low mileage, and should last a long time.

@@aaronbehindbars Well Id say youre partly right. The first gen ridgeline is like a f150 with a tundra nose. It doesn't sit right. But atleast its not a Honda passport with a bed. And I just figured used ridgeline cause I thought that you'd like to have some fun too. And nothing says good quality, high revving and great handling sedan like a 1st gen 6 speed tsx. I'm in college and I have one with michelin as3+'s, some good brembos and a k&n cold air intake and I gotta say, having driven a fk8 type r, this is way better in the way it drives. And yknow the old adage, one car always better than two(until it's not true, that is 😂). But yknow i think you have more knowledge about your situation than I do, so it was probably wrong for me to comment.

@@thehumanoid6543 The Ridgeline has always been a crossover with a bed. Both gens are based on the Pilot/Odyssey platform. The 2nd gen models have the same AWD system that Acura uses that has a torque vectoring rear diff. It handles extremely well and with the paddle shift ZF 9 speed gearbox, it's a lot of fun in the twisties. Most people have no clue how these are built and what they can do. They're truly impressive vehicles.

@@aaronbehindbars sure. I just am fundamentally opposed to new trucks. They just don't do anything for me. That's just me, the 24 year old with an opinion on something I haven't even sat in 😅😆

The fact that he also died for the people that he once hated seems like a guy who went woke. I think that this woke logic needs to stop because it treats everyone like a toddler all of the time. The real world has some shit in it and you can’t be soft your whole life or toy will be taken advantage of.

I think he was speaking more to the fact that the big truck has to be equipped like an s class, and thats why he gave the raptor praise because if the thing is as well equipped as Mercedes, having side by side shocks and being able to drive in the most fucked conditions is a luxury, its the fact that the grandpa truck is a dying breed to me is the problem

In italy is the norm for years. You cant drive old cars in cityes. Sucks.

Good choice on that A2, that thing was so ahead of its time that neither Audi nor the public actually realised what it was capable of. To this day, that is one of the most efficient vehicles on the planet as far as MPG is concerned. Crazy amount of engineering behind it too, even though people have no idea....

i dont think a cayenne turbo is an example of the type of excess they are talking about

Personally would rather have a euro look e21 with the s14 heads and all the suspension but keep it live axle in the back so it slides with the greatest of ease, I've always adored the earlier more Bauhaus styling of the Alpina type stuff,
