Alpine A110 Review; "Can I Drive on This?"; 15 Yrs of TST

After 8 years of dreaming, Matt Farah and Zack Klapman review the Alpine A110 GT, a car that every European journalist heralds as one of the greats; is it? We also celebrate Zack's 15th anniversary with The Smoking Tire, reminiscing about motel floors and supercharged cars. There's something in the Big Beautiful Bill that affects cars and car makers; plus a new bit inspired by Reddit called "Can I drive this home?" featuring some amazing spontaneous disassembly.

• Then we answer  questions from our amazing Patreon members including:
• What cars we'd bring back
• Chevy Super Cruise vs Ford's Blue Cruise
• How to protect your car from the sun
• Is an R8 a cheap Ford GT?
• Reasons Zack likes the E9x M3
• Why don't OEMs make hybrids with manuals?
• What car is "pure fun" for $65k?
• At what price do a few exotics (MC20, NSX, Jaguar F-Type, BMW i8) become great deals?
• And more!
