What up, everybody? Welcome to the Smoke and Tire Podcast. This episode is brought to you, as always, by Off the Record. We love Off the Record over here. They are looking out for you wherever you are, 50 states. If you get pulled over for a moving violation, big or small, don't plead guilty, call Off the Record. They will arrange for a qualified attorney to represent you in your case, and at a hugely high percentage, get those points off your record. Go to offtiderecord.com/tst. That's offtiderecord.com/tst. We'll give you 10% off all legal services booked through Off the Record. One more time, offtiderecord.com/tst. And also this morning, welcome to Avants. You guys know Avants, right? It's a quarterly print magazine. It's a cool editorial website, an Instagram, and they do awesome in-person events all over the US. I've known about Avants for a long time. Uh, my red car was even on the cover of their magazine. And now they've got a new membership program allowing you to save money on things that you're buying anyway, like tires. Avants members get 10% off at Discount Tire, plus an additional 10% off all Michelin and BF Goodrich. So if you spend fifteen hundred bucks on a set of Cup 2s, you're gonna save three hundred dollars just for being an Avants member. It's only ninety-nine dollars a year, and it comes with a seventy dollar Griot's Garage gift card, so it's basically paying for itself right off
