Episode Description from the Publisher

Hello! On this episode we are joined by Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire and Westside Collector Car Storage! First we discuss what it's like to write with a leftist bent for Road & Track (hint: difficult). Then we discuss Matt's latest piece on the ridiculous high-end market and scraps for the rest of us (it's a great piece, we talked about it before on here!) Then, Rivian has a Dril Candles Tweet Moment with its CEO compensation. Finally, we ask Matt what his favorite sub-$10,000 beater car is. Thanks so much to Matt for joining us, definitely check out The Smoking Tire if you somehow haven't already (but if you're here, you probably have). As always our theme song is from Horse Tranquilizer Simulator by Stella Spazzatura!Referenced Stories: Matt's interview with immigration attorney Sergio Siderman @TheSmokingTirePodcastO'Rourke obit @National ReviewAffordability crisis piece by Matt Farah @Road & Track Boom Aerospace Pivoting To AI @Boom Aerospace The AI-Generated Spoof Instagram Channel Jordan & Matt Discuss @InstagramRivian Sales Numbers + RJ Scaringe Pay Package $403M @CarscoopsChad Kirchener's post @BlueskyRivian R2 Overlook @MotorTrendRivian's lack of sale bump right before tax credits ended @YahooPlease Help Me Budget My Family Is Dying @XJim Cramer Says Buy Rivian @247WallStStop Asking Me What Car I Would Buy by Matt Farah @Road & TrackVictoria on Matt's Show @TheSmokingTirePodcastThe No Fucks Given RX-7 @TheSmokingTirePodcast
