The Smoking Tire

We go deep on our time with the new 2022 GTI and the 2022 BMW M240i X-drive, because the internet has a lot of questions about both of them. We also talk about the Bridgestone Winter Driving academy, all-seasons vs snow tires; when maintenance should be priced into a negotiation; what car we would drive on Mars; which car to buy for Auto-X; and more! Recorded on Feb 10, 2022 Want to find the right parts for you car?

Reggie Watts is one of the most impressive performers we've ever seen. He's a stand up comedian that uses small instruments, beatboxing, and improv in a way that boggles the mind and deserves standing ovations. He loops his own voice, layering it to create beats and melodies that lead to hilarious punchlines. "Unique" is an understatement. It's hard to describe what he does (check him out on YouTube or watch his new Netflix special, "Spatial"). You can also see him as the band leader on "The Late Late Show". @reggiewattsReggie is also into cars. He has a deep appreciation for mechanical integration, engineering, and technology. On this episode we talk about his early cars, what he likes about new tech, his EV interests, a hyper owl, car stereos, head phones, and more.  From his site: "Reggie Watts is an internationally renowned vocal artist/ beatboxer/ musician/ comedian who wows audiences with his live performances which are 100% improvised. Using his formidable voice, looping pedals, and his vast imagination, Reggie blends and blurs the lines between music and comedy. No two performances are the same and to that end, “genius” is the word most often used to describe Reggie Watts."Find Valvoline now at your local auto parts store.  Go to Squarespace.com for a free trial, and when you’re ready to launch, go to squarespace.com/TIRE to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Go to HelloFresh.com/smokingtire16 and use code smokingtire16 for up to 16 free meals and 3 free gifts!
