The Smoking Tire

J Ryan has lived a cool life. By age 17 he was working in television and walking the sets of legendary comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and Late Night with David Letterman. He also built a late night TV set in his living room, where he records a show with his wife called "Late Night Play Set." Serious, look it up. It's amazing! He's a gearhead, a driver, and he built our new studio!

Matt and Zack have been driving (and riding) a lot this week. Matt has the Shelby GT500 AND a Ducati Desert Scrambler. He talk about the Ford's incredible power and poise, and what it's like getting back on a motorcycle. Zack has the 2021 Mini Cooper JCW GP, but they're not sure it's better than the last one. And what are those weird shields for? Plus BMW grills, used car fairness, Corvette vs Ford, and a lot more.  Follow us!T: @thesmokingtire @zackklapmanIG: @thesmokingtire @fakezackklapman Watch the show!: https://youtu.be/ZXeQSVH5unY Want your question answered?
