First 90 secondsMatt Farah· Host0:00
All right, folks, on this episode of the podcast, the final Notice Canyon, and therefore the entire range, has sold out. I've learned some things about what's broken on my Taycan. A fan of The Smoking Tire podcast has brought to market an incredible new product from BMW. And we go through the insane results of the Mecum supercar sale. It's The Smoking Tire podcast. Let's go. Guys, The Smoking Tire is giving away a 992.1 Turbo S. In partnership with Dream Giveaways, we are giving away a $275,000 car with some slick choice mods. Uh, the proceeds benefit a charity, and you don't have to buy any merch. It's a straightforward entry process. So hit the link in the show notes and get entered to win today. I just found out that I can just, like, have breakfast burritos, like, waiting for me at the track, like, if I want.
Zack Klapman· Host1:04
Oh, wow.
Matt Farah· Host1:05
Like- That's nice. Yeah, so.
Zack Klapman· Host1:07
Very cool.
Matt Farah· Host1:07
I was just like, "Hey, s- uh, is it... What time does the diner open?" They're like, "For breakfast or lunch?" I was like, "You know, breakfast." And they're like, "Oh. Well, do you wanna just, like, have burritos and coffee at the, at Streets when you get there?" And I was like, "I can do that?" And they're like, "Yeah." And I was like, "Okay."
