If you get a moving violation in any of the 50 US states, don't plead guilty, get Off the Record. Go to offtherecord.com/tst for 10% off legal services provided from Off the Record, from your friends at TST. Once again, go to offtherecord.com/tst to get yourself represented by a qualified legal attorney in the jurisdiction where you got that ticket. Any moving violation, big or small, offtherecord.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 1,500 bucks on a set of Cup 2s, you're gonna save $300 just for being an Avants member. It's only $99 a year, and it comes with a $70 Griot's Garage gift card, so it's basically paying for itself right off the bat. Now, you can use code TST for 10% off your membership.
