We're rolling. We are rolling. You must be the smoking tire podcast. Sorry people. This one is going up a couple hours late because I was out of town.

That's why it's good reason. Jeff Glocker in the room. Hey, hey, sappin' and what's up there, buddy? How's it going? I just got to be pointing us today. Thanks for having me.

I just got to say one thing because someone on Twitter asked for this Eric Rude. He just said, can I get a pointless and totally out of context.

So there you go. What a fucking appropriately last named person for that kind of piece one of my writer.

And a long time lemon's judge. Oh, yeah. Well, you got a kiss there. I'll suck the dick of lemon's judge if it gets me fucking five extra laps in our civic. He'll do it for pretzels and come.

It's starting off. Yes. Yes. I've been listening to a lot of Jimmy Norton. Sorry that I had to had it couldn't help myself. Fuck. I don't know about you guys. Where have you been? It's been a long fucking week for me. Have you been here? You were here? Yeah. Where have you been? We saw you were in DC. Should we just start with that? Should we call it a logicate? Yeah. So this is I have a here's the here was my week and we'll come. So me and Jeff were in DC for America. The charger hellcat.

Which is a fucking incredible machine. Yes. Then I flew to New York where I had one day and I my girlfriend who lives in LA. Her parents are also from New York. And I'm from New York. So I went to breakfast with her parents and then dinner with my parent. We met each other's parents on the same day. They're stressful. Yeah. It was.

Well, how did the New York juice say it's like a kismet? Is that what it would be? Because you're in New York. I don't know what I was schmitzing. I'll tell you that much. And then I got a test in the BMW Z4 GT3 which I was very, very lucky. I'm happy to talk about that. And then the next day I drove an auto ZM AZ1. Which a lot of people don't know what the fuck that is. I have no idea what that is. Well, it isn't a completely different way. Yeah. No, it's it is one of the coolest cars I've ever driven in my life.

And we'll go to that. So charger Hellcat. I mean, okay, what is there to know about the charger Hellcat? Well, everything about the Challenger Hellcat is the same but with more doors. And it's like, I don't even think it's much heavier.

A hundred pounds heavier. Yeah. And it's got a longer wheelbase obviously because the charger. I'm not I'm not loving the the front end they did there. I like the I like the light treatment. Yeah. And then I like the hood of the Hellcat. Yeah, but the I don't know about that grill. It's a little too. It's a little too.

I don't think it's ever been a particularly pretty car. No, the last one. The last one I liked. Yeah, but I think refresh. I think this is a little bit better because I think there.

The very first charger they made. If you talk to the people in the know, it should never have been called the charger. Right. Yeah.

And they fully admit that I agree. Because the Challenger should have been called the charger. Probably. Yeah. Then the second car they were like, well, since marketing fucked up and called this car the charger. Let's make it look like a charger. Yeah.

So the scat hence the scallop on the right side. And so now that you don't like the front end, but the rear end. Yeah, that's the fucking. I love the new rear end. Well, what would I do like what they did with the headlights and tail lights. So if you look at any other charger.

If you look at it dead perpendicular from the side, you can't see the headlights or tail lights from the side. Now you can they wrap around the real.

So did they do that to look like the wipers. So did they do that wrap around so they can get rid of the reflectors on the. I don't know why they did it, but the one.

I don't know if there's probably a number of reasons, but the reason they told me is because it shrinks the car visually.

Bring those headlights around and it actually does work because the car looks a little smaller than before. I like it when the manufacturers do that because then they can get rid of those.

God, he fucking yellow side. You know, I didn't notice if it had them or not, but. But uh, the light wrap around makes it. You see.

You're seeing the ends of the car. Yeah, sooner. Yeah, yeah. But it works actually. Um, and obviously it's, you know, fucking 700 horsepower 8 speed gearbox and all that.
