Raphael Orlove (Bronco Raptor; Car Crimes; East vs West)

If you've read about cars at any time in the last ten years you've probably read one of Raphael Orlove's articles. He was the Features Editor at Jalopnik for many years, hosted a TV show, and is known for his irreverent style and witty articles. He's now the Deputy Editor at Road & Track. We talk to him about driving a Dakar Mini Cooper; his upcoming Bronco Raptor experience; that Fisker SUV; modifying bicycles in the kitchen; finding crimes; which coast allows more vehicular mayhem; golf carts; and more. Recorded June 6, 2022  Go to blackvue.com/TST and use the promo code TIRE to get 10% off of any BlackVue dash cam.
