New SIM; Kill Switch Law; Merc Project

from The Smoking Tire Hosted by Matt Farah & Zack Klapman

Matt Farah describes his first BAD ride in a Waymo; he and Zack Klapman talk about the oddities for sale at Barrett-Jackson auctions; the truth about the "kill switch" law Congress passed; the Mercedes project begins; and Patreon questions include: Why has the Porsche 911 maintained a consistent look while others can't? Favorite tuner for engines with 4,6,8,10, and 12 cylinders? Do automakers still take risks? Has Porsche reliability gone down? Best and worst swag from a press launch? Why we think the C8 Corvette ZR1 will depreciate when the C7 didn't. What to get for someone who drives a Drakan? Will SIM racing cafes work? And more!
