If you are not familiar with Matt Farah and his The Smoking Tire video series, you are missing out! I have know Matt since back when we did Bullrun in 2007. Matt has always been an over the top car guy. Sticking to his guns, he has created a following that is almost celebrity status. Having appeared on TV shows with Adam Corolla, he also has complimented Google’s original content series Drive with other Vivid Racing favorites like Alex Roy of Gumball 3000. Matt’s latest series is on his YouTube channel is something he calls “One Take”. Its basically a GoPro mounted to the front of the car and inside the car where Matt takes you for a drive in a vehicle through some of his favorite California canyon roads. As Matt says, “the only way to make money on the internet is without spending money!” He has done this very well. As I write this, the video has over 42,000 views and is less than 24 hours old. If you are in your mid 30’s like myself and your first car was a Subaru WRX or Mitsubishi EVO, then you will relate. In fact I never thought about this car that way till now. Matt definitely breaks it down on his drive. Background aside, I love his review of our Project Mercedes CLA45 AMG. Check out the video and make sure to leave your comments!
