Mike is such a great guest. Zach my favorite moment in all of tst podcast history is from December 2012 after the la auto show you told Spinelli he had bus station hair. I still think about that.
lmaooooo bus station hair I remember watching that episode. Harris, spinelli, musto and everyone slumped on the table smoking weed at the old house. Those podcasts have an unbeatable charm.

Spinelli trying to promote a doc series he works on about IMSA racing, but then knowing nothing about IMSA racing or the cars when asked basic questions by Matt sums it up really.
As far as the tint goes, if you like the fishbowl look that's fine. You should at least go for a light tint with heat rejection for you and your interior. Our cars are tinted because we live in Texas and every car we own has 75% tint with heat rejection/UV blocker on the windshield. It's light enough for those who don't want tint and it shields you from the sun rays.
I think the major problem with sport car racing is the fact they keep rebranding every 2-3years. It's so inconsistent. Where as formula 1 has been Formula 1 for almost a century. Indycar keeps rebranding as well to some extent which doesn't help but at least nascar and indycar are relatively stable in the naming. I mean we've gone from gt3, gt2, gt1, gte, gt pro/pro-am....it's too much. Not too mention all the other classes outside like prototype and touring car. Then you have to follow all the different racing series where teams may or may not show up in one event over the other and le man is the only stable racing event that every team traditionally wants to go to but it's still a part of WEC which most people don't even care about. It's just a cluster fuck. Formula one is easy to consume because the driver line up is small and consistent. There are hundreds of drivers in WEC/IMSA making it impossible to follow.
Anyone listening with any type of good audio or car definitely notices the constant banging of the table. It'd say looks into isolating the mics from the table. I try to ignore it as much as I can but it's annoying AF. Besides that great show.
The video of the driver trying to repair the car beside the track occurred during the 2012 running of the 24hrs of LeMans. The driver was Satoshi Motoyama and the car was that weird Nissan Delta Wing. That has been the rule an LeMans since the beginning, and loads of drivers have repaired cars beside the course and continued on. This was the most high profile attempt of the modern era.
@@TheSmokingTirePodcast Hey Zack - any chance on looking into the dropped frames on the video recording? The video is freezing consistently from every camera for half a second all the time. And then there are entire sections just entirely cut out. 2:11:00 it starts getting really bad, and then 2:12:38 it looks like there is just a whole section missing. Confirmed on my end on multiple devices, it's not just my setup. I end up pinning the video on a 2nd monitor to play in the background, and be able to glance over when ya'll pull up a video or picture or something and see what's going on. So the video being hitchey is pretty jarring sometimes. It looks like it's just dropping frames in the recording because of CPU limitations.

He's talking about Langer's! Canter's isn't very good guys but it is open very late. Also Brent's is very good. The food convos you have about LA can be frustrating.
“I got an angry email about sipping” *slurps again* “People were pissed.” *slurps again* It’s less about the sound quality of the podcast (because it’s very high quality) and more about the misophonia people have. I’ve punched my car radio after hearing the sound of a beer being poured since it’s one of the worst sounds imaginable. For years I had no idea why I would fly into a blind rage when I heard certain sounds but now I know. I’d rather listen to a couple of pissed off cats fucking in a barrel than the sound of liquid being poured or someone unnecessarily slurping a drink.
There are way too many things i could comment on in this episode, definitely a good one. I feel a little attacked for the masochistic mindset i used to have from driving my s2000 over 35,000 miles a year, as well as the gent with an e28 saying driving it in traffic made it lose its spark. Turns out driving a momentum car where theres no momentum car roads kinda sucks
Your feedback is great, I have had the same issues, nothing wring with slow cars I quite like them its more sitting in a uncomfortable sports car on the endless highway absolutely sucks and always have to remind myself why I buy big GT/Luxo barges when im looking at classifieds.
Funny how Spinelli says Wolfsburg is a nice place...when it comes to anything outside of VW, Wolfsburg must be Germany's most lame place ever...the ICE high speed train between Cologne and Berlin famously missed its stop at Wolfsburg a couple of times a few years back which added to the city's perception as being completely forgettable 😅
The driver of the deltawing also tried to fix the car for a while at the 24h of lemans, in the S curves, before he had to give up. It was a sad time, seeing it, but I liked the dedication
Sincensomine pointed it out I see it all the time. But the audio never skips so all good. I only look at the podcast when Zack is pulling some photos up
Also, spinelli, I know you sometimes read this. I am inspired. I watched you on viva bastardo. As a 17 year old, I think I prefer your "road testament" show on /thedrive to the influencer crap. I still sometimes read "mike-spinelli-old"😉. Great columns.
The story of drivers having to fix their race cars on the side of the track applies to almost every race, you just rarely see it because usually by the time the driver get's out of the car he's lost so much time, it's not worth even trying to fix anything. But mechanics are usually not allowed to touch a car outside the pit lane and marshalls aren't allowed to help, either.
man was I waiting for spinelli to come back after leaving drive for tangent vector. That website is dying. And everytime he talked about doing stuff for the /drive in the last 3 years, you could feel across the world that he wasn't enjoying it. Man do I wish I had been alive in 2004 for the early days of jalopnik. Mr Spinelli is an absolute g
@TheSmokingTirePodcast Chaps. The brabham BT46 fan car was not banned as it was 100% compliant with the rules. The other constructors led by Colin Chapman threatened to withdraw the teams from the next race due it the advantage being so big. Bernie as the head of FOCA had to give in and ask Gordon Murray to “retire” the car. Watch the LUCKY documentary, it’s amazing.
Oh man, the slurping has been driving me crazy!, but not that crazy. I listen while on my run, with earbuds and you can hear EVERYTHING in the background. Rogan slams the shit out of his table all the time lately and it's driving me nuts!. Spike's has so much background noise it turns into white noise tbh. :D
I had a square set of 305/30-19 NT01 Nittos on my 650whp Mustang along with all the other suspension goodies, those tires were horrible for street driving they don't operate correctly unless they're really hot so in the winter they're actually worse then the PS4 or 555g2 ect.. I now drive an 21 A91 edition supra, I'd like to put Ps4s on it if I don't trade it soon.
One of the things that makes IMSA and FIA multi class racing hard to follow is that most of the time, they ONLY are covering the top class. So a bunch of stuff will happen in like, GTD-AM but you don't see it. It either needs to get BUSIER and go multi cam or have separate broadcasts or something. At this point I only ever have it on for background noise.
Matt a warning about XJ coupes, your too tall. They are extremely small inside, Clarkson commented about it in an Aston Martin test a while back on top gear. How it’s (the Aston db7 or db9) basically the same as the old jag xj with a different body and how the cockpit is crazy small still.
Should rich people's traffic fines be in community service on top of the fine? And I mean real service outside when the weather suxx, not sitting through a private Zoom meeting.
I was listening to that when they bought that jag for him while he went to go pee or get a beer or whatever. He came back and I expected him to be mad but he was totally chill with it lol.
I know this might sound like a hastle, but if you wanted to eliminate thumps on the table you could add sound deadening to it. Mounting a .25" thick steel plate to the bottom would make it heavy as hell but it'll absorb some of those vibrations I believe (use rubber washers!)
Or you could just buy a Table cloth or a Runner of fabric 😂 the reason you can hear the thump or clunks is because it's a solid block of wood and the mic stands are made of metal. Adding more mass will only move the frequency not eliminate it.
@@gmonk313 That won't have much effect as Zach or a guest bumping the Table will travel thru the Wood as it's a solid mass and it is amplified by having a Epoxy resin "river" running through it, much like you knocking on a door it's not going to be helped as it's the wood/resin vibrating as the resin has now stiffened the wood like you flicking a ruler on the table makes sound. Rubber mounts for mics only have so much damping and that is mitigated if they are gripping the table itself. So much like throwing your jacket over a tow rope or cable stops it whipping back at you. Having rubber mounts on your winch won't stop the energy should the cable snap. This is not a reflective wave, like the tiles on the wall dissipate. You don't need a tuned mass damper or anything fancy. Just something soft running along it or on the table itself that is independent of it.
2.5 hours flew by like nothing--great show y'all! And Matt, that Salt book, is that Mark Kurlansky's book? B/c it's fascinating. If you want more food-related reads, I recommend Bee Wilson's "Consider the Fork"
For Matt - IMSA is one of the coolest series on the planet. My first event was back in 2013 at Laguna Seca. I was a sophomore or junior in High School (Actually a year before I met Matt in person at ShiftSector in Coalinga.) My friend and I ended up missing one of the teams during the autograph sessions, we walked to the trailer and Matt Plumb (the driver) greeted us and gave us a full tour in the bus with the crew. A day I won't forget! Also, when you attend to an IMSA event (at least at Laguna Seca) you can pretty much walk anywhere you want as long as you're not bothering any team crew or you are in the way from something. When you watch the race in person you are also enjoying time with friends and family, almost like a tailgate party. Matt if you have the chance to go to Laguna for May's race, I highly recommend it!
I have to say I'm not the biggest car guy but there's something about car talk that satisfys my aspie brain. Anyways I have read rumors about a electric alfa romeo wagon concept . I hope it at least gets a drive by some folks. Probably won't make mass production. Anyways most Germans in Bavaria are pretty stocky lol
I love your content Matt, I'm from the UK so I'm not fully aware of politics in the US or in particular California but you really come over as what we could call here as a 'champagne socialist'. You've had a priviliged upbringing and obviously have businesses with the aim to make to money yet you seem to constantly put down capitalists and people who want to do well from humble beginnings in life.
It always makes me chuckle that someone into high end watches and owns exotic sports cars besmirches capitalism and is a self-proclaimed socialist. But that’s standard wealthy coastal resident hypocrisy here in America 🤷♂️
really? There was 1 actual Lamborghini race car, unless your counting the GT3RS from 3 weeks ago and the Cyanman GT2RS from March of LAST YEAR. other than that 99% of the reviews haven't been race cars
Matt actually empathizing with the angry emailer because of Thaddeus eating noodles had me dying laughing
that was hilarious
Misophonia is a real thing!

Having rubber mounts on your winch won't stop the energy should the cable snap. This is not a reflective wave, like the tiles on the wall dissipate. You don't need a tuned mass damper or anything fancy. Just something soft running along it or on the table itself that is independent of it.
is that guy used to long hair..? a youtube channel host named driven or something..?
Is the video stuttering on the studio cams getting worse or is it just me?
Big Sushi had me fucking rolling lmfao
Matt--love the cardigan. Also love when Spinelli is on.
lo and behold the first segment mentions it lol
2.5 hours flew by like nothing--great show y'all! And Matt, that Salt book, is that Mark Kurlansky's book? B/c it's fascinating.
If you want more food-related reads, I recommend Bee Wilson's "Consider the Fork"
For Matt - IMSA is one of the coolest series on the planet. My first event was back in 2013 at Laguna Seca. I was a sophomore or junior in High School (Actually a year before I met Matt in person at ShiftSector in Coalinga.) My friend and I ended up missing one of the teams during the autograph sessions, we walked to the trailer and Matt Plumb (the driver) greeted us and gave us a full tour in the bus with the crew. A day I won't forget! Also, when you attend to an IMSA event (at least at Laguna Seca) you can pretty much walk anywhere you want as long as you're not bothering any team crew or you are in the way from something. When you watch the race in person you are also enjoying time with friends and family, almost like a tailgate party. Matt if you have the chance to go to Laguna for May's race, I highly recommend it!
As a guy who just binged the entire new season, the Guenther/Gene bits had me cracking the f*ck up.

I can remember several OneTakes where Matt drove MGs: 2 BGTs, one roadster, and one Midget. I also recall him enjoying one of the restomoded GTs.
I have to say I'm not the biggest car guy but there's something about car talk that satisfys my aspie brain. Anyways I have read rumors about a electric alfa romeo wagon concept . I hope it at least gets a drive by some folks. Probably won't make mass production. Anyways most Germans in Bavaria are pretty stocky lol
Shout out to the Suzuki Swift GTi
I can’t be the only one who thought for a second that was Elon Musk on the thumbnail
1:44:04 2012. you did the same thing on the podcast with jf lmao. Except all you could hear on that podcast were the unstoppable laughs.
Yes we do case the meats :D
Dan Neil of WSJ has to be the guy who only shows up for high end pressers
The floor shakes. I listen on JBL monitors BTW.

I love your content Matt, I'm from the UK so I'm not fully aware of politics in the US or in particular California but you really come over as what we could call here as a 'champagne socialist'. You've had a priviliged upbringing and obviously have businesses with the aim to make to money yet you seem to constantly put down capitalists and people who want to do well from humble beginnings in life.
It always makes me chuckle that someone into high end watches and owns exotic sports cars besmirches capitalism and is a self-proclaimed socialist. But that’s standard wealthy coastal resident hypocrisy here in America 🤷♂️
@@b3dazzl3 sounds like what we call the London Metroplitan Elite here in the UK
1:15:53 in the Midwest sushi 🍣 is 20 dollars all you can eat. It’s fine. The high end Cajun place by me flys in oysters.
Sports car racing make for 90% of the cars reviewed by TST. What is Matt talking about? 😂
really? There was 1 actual Lamborghini race car, unless your counting the GT3RS from 3 weeks ago and the Cyanman GT2RS from March of LAST YEAR. other than that 99% of the reviews haven't been race cars
i love the podcast but spinelli has to be the worst recurring guest.
I love the fucking sip
Please try not to cut off/talk over guests, it makes it really hard to understand what is said as a non-native speaker at least.
questionable decisions. briansQUESTIONABLEdecisions. theyre not bad... just... questionable.
2016 Article said the Resnicks use more water than Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Area combined WTF
