0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome to the Smug & Tire podcast.
0:03.0	Today's episode is, as always, brought to you by Off the Record.
0:07.0	We love Off the Record.
0:09.0	And you guys do too, or at least you keep telling me over and over in the DMs, in the emails,
0:14.0	that off the record saved your backside from a big old problem out there.
0:20.0	Here's how it works. If you are driving out there in your car,
0:24.9	you could be doing basically anything and then you get pulled over and you get a ticket. It happens,
0:30.2	you know, but what you don't do is plead guilty. You never plead guilty. You don't have to plead
0:35.7	guilty. It won't just make it go away. Instead,
0:38.8	what you do is get off the record. You go to off the record.com slash tST. That'll get you 10%

1:07.9	you write that one down. Off the record.com t-st. All right, folks, on this show,
1:15.3	we are getting a trailer and have to figure out what we're going to tow it with. Plus, we study
1:21.9	crash statistics on Angeles Crest Highway to find out if it's the enthusiast fault or the commuters and what is
1:30.8	pumping the most recent auction market prices. Is it just people being rich or is it people being
1:38.3	rich and doing crimes? But hi everybody.
1:45.1	This is a show.
1:46.2	Welcome to it.
1:53.1	It's been a nice little week here in Los Angeles, other than me getting some kind of stomach bug for 12 hours.
