About this episode
Alex and Matt Farah, he of The Smoking Tire , two Westside Classic Car Storage facilities, and an enviable place on the Road & Track masthead, sit down in Farah's own TST studio to talk about what 166 trucks' worth of concrete will get you; the sobering math of car storage in the city; his lack of interest in world domination; why he still makes video content; the highest job title one can attain before things stop being fun; the ideal city plan for car people; the joys of an elevated appliance; an appreciation for his wife's Pao; appropriate vehicles for EV conversion; supercar patronage; the worst part of owning a DeLorean; taking all of half an inch; a literal barrier to entry in a Lamborghini; and an unlikely presidential ticket.
