Beyond two of the biggest names in sporting things with 4 wheels, Matt and Zack both made their ways to Europe and brought us the gift of stories from the "old country" and likely unending jealousy for many of our listeners.  Matt visited **Koenigsegg** and spent some time with their test driver as they flogged an **Agera R** for an afternoon; you know when he wasn't busy touring the continent in a brand new **M6 Coupé** (accent added for additional euro flavour (also the u because I'm feeling international)).  Whilst making his way across the continent the M6 may or may not have spanked a **Ferrari 458.  ** If that wasn't enough Zack flew over to Germany to film the 2014 911 Turbo S for Tangent Vector, and it seems as though Porsche may have produced a car that is good.  In a different part of the country Matt was busy making his way around the** Nürburgring Nordschleife** because racecar. Oh yeah, and of course everybody is back from Pebble Beach and the Concours d'Elegance.  We make fun of snooty old money guys wearing stupid pants, the autmotive journalists who believe they're mocking them (even though they really aren't) and our plans for next years appearance at Pebble.

This week we convene without a guest, but we don't need one because Matt and Zack have driven plenty of new cars in the last week.  At the Chyrsler press event the Ram Pro Master, Dart GT, Fiat 500e, Cherokee Trail Hawk and Grand Cherokee diesel were all abused and thrown recklessly  enthusiastically driven, occassionally with passengers in designated cargo areas.  Matt also shares his experience with the mid-cycle refresh of the Panamera to be followed by discussions of flight lessons, high class hobos, and pizza delivery.   --- # Crew Show from Panama Thad, Matt, Zack and Tom return from a Tuned shoot in Panama; bringing us all the gift their perspective but also dick and fart jokes.  First up, diesel Ford Rangers are apparently a thing that happens as is incessant honking, highly modified Suzuki Samurais, "casino" hookers, 900HP Evoloutions VIIs, and hurdling behemoths modified to the hilt known as Diablo Rojo buses.  All that and more on yet another episode of what is undeniably the most crass automotive podcast nobody ever asked for, The Smoking Tire. --- # Vinny Russo This week Vinny Russo of Lamborghini North America joins us along with Mike Musto whom you all probably already know.  We of course talk Lambos, we also discuss Vinny's experience on Bull Run and the Silver State Classic.  In addition to those stories we discuss the balancing fun, entertainment and responsibility and the double standards that automotive journalists are held to.  Oh yeah and Matt contracted Panamanian lung AIDS. --- # Paul & Todd, Everyday Driver Paul and Todd from [Everyday Driver](http://everydaydriver.com/) sit down and talk with us about their new documentary [50 Years of the 911](http://everydaydriver.com/porsche-911/).  In addition we cover how cars acquire character as they age, the Tesla Model S, YouTube "rentals", the current drama at Morgan automotive and Matt talks about his time spent with the new Audi RS7.  Normally this is where I attempt to inject some humor but I'm struggling to stay awake, so insert your own damn joke on the line provided _______________________________________ --- # Crew Show!
