The Smoking Tire

So... this week as we wrapped up recording and I attempted to save the recording (like the reckless asshole I am) GarageBand promptly started throwing a fit and ultimately destroyed the second half of the recording.Since we got a solid hour of podcasting in before the recording was trashed I decided an hour of a quality podcasting was better than none.Those problems aside, this week we welcome Travis Langness of Edmunds to the podcast table.  We review the Range Rover LWB, Travis talks about Edmund's long term 2005 CLS65 AMG and we discuss the controversy surrounding the Fiesta ST vs BMW E46 M3 video.

This week we welcome Mr. Regular and The Roman from Regular Car Reviews if you don't know them yet you should; we find them absolutely hilarious. This week we cover morning zoos, Nissan Stanzas, Wilford Brimley, La Forzas, Dodge Rams, bukkake, Grand Nationals and generally dive into the depths of utter depravity.  On a markedly more somber note we address the untimely passing of Roger Rodas and Paul Walker whom we knew to varying degrees but unanimously respected.
