First 90 secondsMatt Farah· Host0:00
Matt Farah here, and today's episode is brought to you, as always, by Off the Record. We love Off the Record here at TST. They are looking out for us 24/7, 365. If I get pulled over on one of my many adventures, I am not pleading guilty, I am getting Off the Record. Don't get into arguments on the side of the road with police. That's no good. Just be quiet, take the ticket, call Off the Record, they'll handle it. They have qualified attorneys in every state in the country, and they will fight that ticket as hard as possible to keep those points off your record. Don't risk your, uh, your job, your insurance, your credit because you've got points on your license. Get Off the Record at OffTheRecord.com/TST. That's OffTheRecord.com/TST. All right, folks, on this episode of the podcast, I review the Chimera 037, as well as the RML GT HP39. Uh, plus, I have updates on my Taycan, I have updates on the project Mercedes from down in Tennessee, and we come up with a list of the ultimate dad wagons. It's The Smoking Tire, 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
