Tesla Fights a Train; Indy 500; MachE Rally; Ioniq vs Macan EV
Recorded from the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, we're in the canyons talking about the Indy 500, Ioniq 5 N vs Macan EV, talking about a Tesla that tried to fight a train, answering questions, discussing when gimmicks are a good thing, why brands should (or should not) cling to history, too much adjustability, why an event that appears like a race isn't, and more!

Donald Osborne (Curation and Appraisal Expert)
Donald Osborne is the CEO of Audrain Motorsport and the reason we got to drive a car made before 1910! Remember when we held up a city's worth of traffic on a bridge? We have him to thank. Sort of. Donald is an absolute car expert with a focus on vintage cars. As someone who has curated museum collections and assessed cars for collectors, he really knows the minutiae of so many vehicles.
On this show we laugh about our famous traffic jam; talk about how we beat Donald in the "non-race" this year; discussed the comical differences between cars in the early 1900s; find out when he got his style; and check in on his surprisingly modern Ferrari.

Customer Reviews
BRO FINALLY
This review is dropping seconds after I got the notification for their “SoCal essential car things” episode. I think this is such a cool and unique thing to do for a podcast like this, considering how well traveled these two are their knowledge of not only cars, but which cars would fit best in each individual scenario for some of the major cities in the country, and probably out of it is such a fantastic idea please do more and I’d love to hear about recommended places for enthusiasts to visit keep up the good work yall.
Great show! Bring back old ads!
Love The Smoking Tire, been listening for about 4 years. Recently, I’ve started listening to the old episodes, starting with episode 1. Wow! It was a completely different show back then, and in many ways the modern iteration is improved, but one thing I wish they would bring back is the old car ads and funny clips they would play at the start of the show, or after ad breaks. So cool! Keep up the good work guys.
Please don’t hate them
For those who don’t like this podcast because they have something against Tesla, I would suggest Past Gas or The Big Three and please don’t hate them. Not everybody likes something, I don’t like Tesla either but that’s not a reason to hate them. And I know they use Tesla as a example of something bad, but think about it, you have proballey done something similar too.
