How do you get the job of test driver? What's it like perfecting the fastest EV and ICE car? Miro knows. Miro Zrncevic is the test driver for Rimac, builder of the record-setting EV hypercar, the Nevera. Miro has been involved in Rimac since the beginning, though not in the way you might think.   In this episode we find out why Miro wanted to be a test driver; his education and work background; how he got the job; his thoughts on tuning steering; why a car has to lean a little bit; the dangers of driving 120MPH backwards; why a test driver and racing driver are not often the same person; his opinion on rear steer; the Bugatti V16 project; driving the Bugatti Bolide; and so much more.   Recorded March 18, 2024   https://www.givemethevin.com/smokingtire   Want your question answered?

What are the best EVs yet? Is charging getting better? Can the grid handle it? Which electric pickup would win in a cross-country race? Are batteries recyclable? All that and more with Kyle Connor.   Kyle Connor is a YouTuber in command of a whopping 17 different channels. He focused on EVs, covering the space comprehensively. He has road tripped, towed with, tested, charged, and driven more EVs than most people will in a lifetime. As such, he has excellent insights into why EVs have the problems that they do, the state of the charging situation, battery recycling, the grid, and more.   He recently completed a cross-country "race", where he and his co-hosts drove from Florida to Los Angeles in 4 electric pickup trucks. The results were literally susprising.   Recorded March 13, 2024   AutoTempest has all the cars. One search.

Morgan is a legendary company and for good reason. Yes, the cars are made of wood but the company has continued along while so many small companies have gone to rest.   Jon Wells has that job so many of us covet: car designer. With a very brief stop at TVR, Jon went right from university to the design department of Morgan, becoming part of the team that designed so of the best and fastest cars Morgan ever made. He also led the team that designed the new Super 3, the successor to the famous and unique Morgan 3-Wheeler. Jon explains his education, how the cars used to be designed before his time, the evolution of construction, how much wood is in the cars, why building a popular off-roader was such a surprise; and why the new Super 3 has a new engine.   Plus, we go around the table to list our Top 5 British roadsters of all time.   Recorded February 13, 2024     Use Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!

Why are Nissan GT-Rs so coveted? Why was it illegal to import them? Why did Japan build them in the first place?

It is a detailed history of the Nissan GT-R, Japanese manufacturing, Japanese car culture, the world of import laws, and why the GT-R means so much to so many of us.

When is a car "safe enough"? Turns out it's not such a simple answer. From a lack of software oversight to self-certification issues to more RECALLS (from every company) than you could imagine, building cars is challenging, especially as ADAS systems get more common and complicated. Phil Koopman is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In the car realm, he is the writer of Safe Autonomy blog, covering self-driving technology.   His new book, "How Safe is Safe Enough? Measuring and Predicting Autonomous Vehicle Safety", analyzes the alleged safety improvements that autonomous cars will provide.   https://safeautonomy.blogspot.com/ https://safeautonomy.blogspot.com/2022/09/book-how-safe-is-safe-enough-measuring.html Massive list of recalls: https://betterembsw.blogspot.com/p/potentially-deadly-automotive-software.html   Recorded January 16, 2024     Say goodbye to harsh smoke and coughing attacks by shopping the smoothest pipes, bubblers, bongs and more at https://www.thefreezepipe.com  and use code TIRE for 10% off your entire order.   Want your question answered?

Nicole Johnson is a badass in so many ways. She was the first female to land a backflip in competition IN A MONSTER TRUCK. She was the first woman to cross the finish line at King of Hammers; 2x Rockcrawling Champion; competed in short course off-road racing; holds the title for most racing wins by a Rookie in a single season of Monster Jam.   Nicole educates us on how to stay off your roof; the crazy but-strangely-familiar technology is off-road brakes; how to backflip a monster truck; why the seat isn't comfortable; the unexpected difficulty driving a certain automatic transmission, and more!   Now she's got a YouTube show called "Nicole Johnson's Detour' where she drives everything from rare classics, fast Datsuns, a V12 cab-over truck, ultra-wide MGs, 1200HP VW Beetles, and Magnus Walker's 911s.   https://www.nicolejohnsonsdetour.com/ Check out her show: https://www.youtube.com/@NicoleJohnsonsDetour   Recorded December 18, 2023     Want your question answered?
