Matt giving him the off the record plug lmao
Matt STANDS for it xD
OTR is worth it just to have someone else deal with going to court and dealing with the BS for you. Having said that, they got me out of a big ticket, and I’ll definitely use and recommend to others. Cost me $75, I have no idea how they make money doing it lol, but I Venmo’d the guy another $75 when he got me off.
Haven't heard of this guy before but I bet it's gonna be a great show
EDIT
Was a great show

1:10:15 - strictly for argument sake, which car is more special based exclusively on driving experience: DC2 Integra Type R or the E36 M3?
1:12:33 - in past TST videos you were careful to not disclose canyon roads; how did you get comfortable publishing this info in an article?

Just watched. Great video as always and naturally organic discussion. Appreciate all the variety lately 👏🏻 😎
I didn't know who Garrett was, but as soon as I saw him get excited about a F355 Spider, I knew he was a cool dude
+1 for the trucool 40k cooler. I ran one in my trailblazer ss. Never got above 180 degrees
Hell yeah bro! Good to see you on here! One of the OGs
Garrett is so knowledgeable and a cool dude. Time to Instagram up. Thanks guys great show.
We agree!
Your wife giving infotainment center roasts would be an amazing part of your videos 😂
It's interesting that no one on this panel mentioned price when comparing the E36 M3 to the DCII Integra Type R. A clean E36 can be found for under $20k, while a similar condition Type R would cost around $60k (or more). Plus, the E36 outperforms the Type R in every measurable performance category by a wide margin. It's not even close. Additionally, the E36 looks significantly better than the E46, which appears bloated and blends into normal traffic
🧑🏾💻I'm here and zack hot with 92fs in the glove box
I don't really use Instagram a lot any longer, but that's the easiest follow ever.
Great show!
The California guy's podcast is back!
MTFs they got me again!!
1000hp everything!
Lincoln continental awd ecoboost. Last gen Taurus sho
Good podcast
Hurt my soul hearing Garett calling Jessies Jetta a GTI
I thought ach was closed half way to newcombs. How do you get there? Do you take big tajunga to angeles forest highway? Then head down to good vibes?
Angeles Forest, then south on the 9 mile section of Big Tijunga down to CA2 and head east, you got it. Come out on Friday 😊
Edit: I just checked on Google, it’ll have the right direction if you put in Newcomb’s Ranch, the closed road sections are marked correctly
This guy’s legit
Chill-how-we. I live in Rabun county.
I am live in Atlanta. Cobb county
Calling guns "pew-pews" is the way to mention the without any kind of SEO influence or anything.
You'd be surprised at how hard they come down on even talk about it on some channels
We need a different type of license to be able to drive a manual vehicle in South Africa.
1:27:55 SHO TAURUS
Also Fusion sport from 2017 on
Focus RS, & Chrysler 200S.
On the topic of American AWD cars what about Tesla?? Model 3 performance???
I'm also surprised they forgot to mention the E Ray lol.
I learned something today. Influences seem to be all personality. Good enough for short content but not much of a conversation here.
I think it’s rich af when Matt complains about excess lol….imagine being offended by a vehicle’s inefficiency 😬
he's right though, the Escalade V is extremely dumb and wasteful
@@pan4632 He’s wrong though, the Escalade V is extremely cool and fast! 🤷♂️
@@Grundle_ItcH085 I won’t lie and say it isn’t cool, it is. But it definitely is not that fast considering near 700hp and almost $200k
@@HenryStan imagine a comment going so far over your head that making a rebuttal is beyond ironic!? 🤣 ❄️
I mean he uses a scooter and ev daily so think he is well within his rights and correct too
“They made an actual Ferrari”. Baahahaha. So what you are saying is the new Vette had to create a Ferrari clone and copy Ferrari to be any type of capable fun and meaningful sports car. So sad how they can’t make their own sports cars. Speaks volumes. 😂.
Chevrolet can make their own ‘supercar’ without needing it to just be a Ferrari clone, but they literally just made their own Ferrari 458, and the prototypes were seen driving with 458s. It was at LEAST a benchmark, but most likely a blueprint.
What an incredibly boneheaded thing to say. That’s not what they said at all. Corvettes have been competent sports cars and punched way above their weight class since the updated c4. Don’t be a clown
Worst bait ever
Chevrelot literally went and made the best ferrari of all time "458" better than ferrari did and is selling it to new customers right now. God tier move
