Larry Chen - Gymkhana BTS; SEMA GR86; Baja Scares - TST Podcast

Today we talk about his GR 86 SEMA build; look at his crazy BTS photos from the new Gymkhana; the joys and dangers of photographing the Baja 1000; camera advice for amateur shooters; why your smartphone photos look weird; and that crash in the Bristol 100 race.

This guy is an American hero. How can I repay you for saving me so much time? If you're not accepting a Venmo donation, provide me with a charity of your choosing so I can throw them a couple of bucks.

[@lucianogonzalez8597]

Thank you!

[@VarioFelce]

Thank you 💪

[@bortforts]

Larry rocks, he’s always great to listen to. Loved the episode

[@hardcoreep]

[@JonBonazza]

Doing gods work

[@nathanhills5032]

Matt normally has such great taste, don't know why he can't see just how fucking awesome that GL Wagon looks. Coolest Gymkhana car yet. 80's style forever!

[@cs2294]

Matt and taste? Ha!

[@R3LF13]

Yeah, I was reserving judgment until I watched it, but I just did, and holy hell is that a great looking boxy wagon.

[@henrylee7316]

Larry is always one of the moswt shockingly interesting guests in my opinion and is always welcome

[@roblibbert1052]

Always love it when Larry is on the show.

[@MartyMotoring]

Great episode. Larry is the GOAT!

[@ViceCityNightcrawler]

Larry the 🐐

[@G_Ozare]

Larry’s the best! 🔥 👏

[@MX304]

Boot Key is a nature preserve and was closed off to development a long time back. That's why the bridge was never repaired.

[@fat_lemon]

first time watching that show, changed video at the 3rd sponsored segment in a row

[@djdiaz1377]

100% my favorite car podcast in the world. Thanks Matt! Also Larry is a legend

[@trippin_ninja]

I would sell my soul to get some glam shots of my ride from Larry. Such a good dude, he deserves all the success he gets. Love his channel!

[@MyMostBeautifuCinema]

I’ll draft up the contract!

[@viking5960]

Nice to have the GOAT of cars pictures again ;)

[@Krushe]

Brilliant Episode , thank you

[@kimcloud8995]

Ford already makes a OBD2 digital handbrake kit for the Focus RS. There's slight delay whe you pull the handbrake but it's more of a on off switch compared to a hydraulic handbrake.

[@redrexx12]

Larry Chen never fails on this show. U guys gotta get Andrew Santino on the pod, just a thought

[@alex199273]

11:33 hahaha that was at my
work last year. So true

[@NXT_LVL]

7:00 Platelet-pheresis, for those like myself who need platelets because of thrombocytopenia. Used to be more based on blood type, still a closer match to your type is preferred. But it's still a great thing to do regardless..

[@Sam-lr2zi]

I feel like underglow came back because of how popular RGB gaming PC's are right now. RGB everything.

[@Prodriver33]

I keep thinking I can afford to pay you guys, then stuff like the slow time of year happens and I can’t afford anything. Some day boys, some day… love and kisses from Prodriver33 ironically not a prodriver level member lol.

[@asa_williams]

I disagree with Matt. I love the look of the subie.

[@lwadeallen]

Matt: The new iPhone can take pictures almost as good as a 2 year old Samsung.

[@luisetorres5760]

Why do they have to crush the car after 3 years?

[@robertallport9401]

Matt. RWB 348 Ferrari. Alexc from Gintani bought it! Check out Gintani channel.

[@atpowers89]

I got two prints last time Larry was on, they are spectacular.
I’d definitely donate blood/platelets but back in December 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) moved from a lifetime ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood to a deferral of one year for any man who has had sex with another man during the past 12 months. So unfortunately I can’t help ☹️

[@ukanchumee3446]

Matt keeps talking over Larry Chen so we can't hear what he is saying.

[@evorobin]

Enough adverts already!
