“In Matt’s own words you are a “right wing, religious freak” if you have any conservative beliefs and/or believe in God. He really showed his true colors there, had no idea he was so incredibly intolerant of different beliefs. Good thing there are plenty of other car podcasts to listen to.”

“I really enjoy your guest selections and the diversity they bring to the show.
Matt, sometimes you are just way too smug to listeners and their questions. Not everyone has been here since the beginning. It’s a little cringe and sad sometimes.”

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...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“Imagine turning into a clown because of your hatred for someone you never met, because that’s what Farrah’s become. It’s to the point where Camisa had an answer for most his baseless, uninformed opinions and he still chooses to discredit himself by trying to twist the argument into some sort...”Read full review »

“The Jason Cammisa episode really exposed Matt as not willing, or perhaps not able to make fact based arguments to back his opinions. He doesn’t even care if he’s factually wrong on something, just moves past it. Long past time to move on and give someone else a listen.”

“These guys have good knowledge to share ABOUT CARS, but now it’s all about woke left, sensitive, cat lover Matt talking about “my Ferrari, my Lamborghini, my brands new house”, and his business that he opened with his CEO father’s capital. Then he brings up left, socialist politics constantly,...”Read full review »

You blew it way out of proportion, you should of just skipped the question or just answered, not wined about how it wasn’t the correct format for you to answer. Zach was...”Read full review »
