Summary

Matt Farah and Zack Klapman tell of their drive in the incredible, carbon-fiber-constructed piece of unobtanium that is the Totem SuperGT. It's an homage to the legendary Alfa GTV/A cars. Does it do the original justice? Is it overpriced? Plus, Chrysler might make an off-road minivan. Patreon questions include: Should my teenager get a Miata or an EV? Have we hit peak "reimagine"? You're CEO of Porsche for a day: what would you change? What is the ultimate commuter car? Can I put a Transformers sticker on my car? Top 3 ultra-light cars Why tires squeal on some freeways What to do after my luxury SUV finally dies Manual swap dream list Will the new Taycan depreciate less than the older ones? And more!

0:00.0	What up everybody? Welcome to the Smoking Tire podcast. Matt Farrer here and today's episode is, as always, brought to you by Off the Record.
0:08.7	Listen, if you get pulled over, if you get ticketed for a moving violation, it is your right to fight that.
0:16.2	And you should, but you should get help. Use Off the Record, right? Don't plead guilty. Get off the record. Go to

1:35.0	All this and more on today's episode of the Smoking Tire podcast.
1:41.2	This is, no, I should have just done a minute of straight silence like Andy Kaufman.
1:45.1	Hi.
