More Exciting than Hypercars? - TheSmokingTire

[@Petrol_and_Cabernet]

Glad the embargo on the 1902 Yale is finally over. Next up, Canyon Drive One-Take.

[@CanyonDanCars]

Can't wait for Angeles Crest in the Rain

[@JimmyRoland]

This is definitely one of those anti KZbin videos where it wont get recommended but is the highest quality content around. This is looks like so much fun and I am super interested in attempting to do it one day and i will watch all content you create on this subject. The podcasts about these events are great for anyone who hasnt watched those yet.

[@thedarkenergist]

I needed this to soothe my mind after learning all the details about the new M5. Even in the first few minutes of the video, watching Matt and Zack pull off was such a little glimpse into what driving must have been like back then. No windows, no turn signals, you basically just had to yell/wave/tell other drivers you were there. Amazing and what a weirdly social way to drive.

[@mitchellsteindler]

Damn, youre right lol

[@maxjtj31]

New m5 is such a shame

[@giovannifacci]

I feel like Matt just discovered historic rally racing. Living in northern Italy next to the Dolomites we have many events and I’ve participated in some with my uncle. There are guys here running 1929 Bugatti’s Type 35 in the middle of winter with studded tires and -15C up the mountains with a support van behind with literally a small lathe in case something brakes.

[@davidsteinhour5562]

I literally did not stop smiling this entire video. We've got to look into veteran cars more.

[@gbode7762]

Both times you guys have done this it’s looked like such a fun adventure

[@williamsternberg8867]

Mount Hope Bridge. Pell Bridge is at the Newport end of Aquidneck Island.

[@Anouyz]

Honestly so hyped from the thumbnail, I love how you guys cover veteran cars in a more carefree way

[@BMWEnjoyer]

This reminds me of the time my fiance and I rented a Fiat 500 from the 60's in Florence and I had just learned how to drive stick, and the car kept stalling every time I put it in neutral. Overall it went well but she was so terrified when we were in italian traffic. Driving super old cars is such a fun experience.

[@antonioruiz1540]

I was smiling through this entire video, i love that 10 cadillac🎉

[@NoGoodHandlesComingToMind]

26:19, looks like how an RR Black Badge would've looked 110 years ago, the Woody Black Badge. Amazing. I wonder if the glass has been swapped with modern safety glass, because if it's plate glass then that'd add yet another interesting way of dying in a gruesome accident. Very stunning nonetheless.

[@fluffychicken383]

Been waiting for ever for this vid to drop! Loved every minute of it!

[@collarbonecam]

The smiles per mile here are so abundant, it’s not even fair to compare to anything built in the last 100 years. And in all honesty, if I really wanted to flex and get noticed, this is how I’d pull up. Because nothing says “I have F you money” like showing up late, backing up miles of traffic, keeping multiple hired mechanics on hand, and still having a cheery grin on your face. Loved it!

[@roguetorino]

Such an amazing event!

[@bentucker2301]

For some reason those cars look just right with those coastal views

[@mattuo]

What a wonderful video. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you. I think the overcast and cold weather really added to the atmosphere of the video. It's so fun seeing these pieces of living history in action.

[@Drgoldthumb]

That looks like SO much fun!

[@Maybe1Someday]

This was awesome. I have a strange need for a 1900's deathtrap now

[@dck47]

8:45 "Should we aoo-gah?" 🤣

[@Lou-f]

Fun was definitely had!

[@joeprestera2239]

That was fun. Glad you guys made it in good time to the finish.

[@DansAm76]

So good. Reminds me of my Model T. It's all about the fun and repairs, not the actual performance.

[@davidrivera2165]

True motoring enthusiast stuff. Freakin great guys!

[@matthewt5481]

This was awesome - loved the video boys! Thanks his looks like a heap of fun

[@Black2005Lotus]

Very cool, guys. Reminds me to an extent of my ‘71 Triumph Spitfire. Modern compared to the cars in this video, but ancient compared to today’s vehicles. 1700 lbs and 60 hp from a carbureted 1296cc engine. 60 mph feels like 100. You should drive more un-modded older (slower) cars on the channel - I think you’d get a real kick out of it.

[@patrickkilburn2252]

This was absolutely awesome! You could tell you guys had an incredible time! I laughed almost the entire time. Thank you!

[@ryanehoward]

You could feel the joy emanating through the video!

[@signalfire6]

You had MORE FUN with that, than all the other modern race cars together. Thanks for the joy of this.

[@TakiInoueDidNothingWrong]

Really really enjoyed this one Matt and Zack! And Matt is looking trim congrats on the hard work!

[@ChrisJones-yh2os]

Delightful! Thanks!!!

[@bitkarek]

that ending words were spot on... this is why i watch this channel - you see it the same way as I do :)

[@dan.r9220]

This is amazing. Such a nice change of pace.

[@sidged1]

This was super fun to watch. Thanks guys!

[@12sec5ltr]

I am so in love with that #10 Cadillac. What a beauty.

[@HenryStan]

Cool to watch ….and to have Zach fly in the autonomous Flying drone earlier this year to this 1902 vehicle is special. 👏👏👏

[@mateogalguera9089]

I’m sure this will probably get nuts for views compared to every other TST vid, but this was EASILY my absolute favorite video from yall I have seen since the days of Nino making a rap video out of the back of a L405 Range Rover. Bravo.

[@thegurem]

Ive got a 1903 cadillac, 1904 darraq, and a 1911 caddilac. And another 10+ cars. About 5 of them are pre ww2

[@wicked_smaaht]

That is not Newport Pell bridge. It is Newport-Bristol Mount Hope Bridge. Great video. Great event. Audrain makes living in cold New England a little more worthwhile.

[@danlohan4537]

Very cool video. Never been into Veteran cars but seeing them run and drive at least doubles the cool factor.

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Never had any interest in vintage cars but this was excellent !! Really enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@jaimykok6533]

I would LOVE to drive a car like that. Seems like so much fun! Hopefully there are more guys from my generation that are interested so that we can keep these beauties alive and kicking

[@johnbenson1878]

I think that this was by far the best film you have done to date. Thank you

[@jasonspringer8651]

Lol, I guess Wilwood has been around longer than I thought!!

[@lochlainn74]

Hands down one of my new favourite videos you guys have done over the years and, yes you're right, driving a slow car fast IS more fun. I grew up learning car control with VW Beetles, Ladas, and Datsun 100A's, and I miss those times; they weren't even close to being the fastest but I learnt a lot hooning those around the dirt roads in Finland and Ireland. Closest thing I've got to the experience in a modern-ish "sporty" car in recent years was my base model Lotus Elise S2 which I should never ever have sold... Anywho, keep up the great work!

[@coryalansmith]

This was genuinely a good time. Thanks guys!

[@stevenh766]

Really enjoyed this one! Definitely something different, but not silly like some other channels cross the line into. Great work mixing it up and keeping this fresh.

[@jordanswart4198]

Thank you for coming to Newport, it’s so great to see you and Zach enjoy this lovely town

[@bigrokadventures]

Watching this really put a smile on my face, looks like an absolute hilarious event

[@Yesidoplaytheguitar]

This was great! Big smiles all the way through!

[@jbrenofficial]

It's a damn shame these videos don't do as well. I know JACK about cars like this and this was so fun! Thanks for sharing and spreading the laughs.

[@MonoPedB]

I never really gave much thought to pre-war cars, aside from "if not for those old cars, the cars we love wouldn't be here". That changed a few months ago. I was able to drive an unrestored 1921 Studebaker, a 1927 Chrysler, and a 1926 Model T. Not as wild as the cars shown here, but I am so glad to have the experience of driving them.

[@Dn1sdr]

I've driven an 08 stanley streamer. It was exilerating and terrifying at the same time. You're driving a piece of furniture that can go 60 mph with almost no brakes.

[@motorvatorv888]

Great report. Glad you had a re-match after the slowness of last time. And I’m all for appropriate life-saving tech. Just looks like a good time.

[@johnpearson492]

Your comments on engaging with machinery resonates with me more. Some of the most fun ive had in a vehicle was a Ford Model A Truck. So much more challenging to drive and juat plain visceral.

[@18PGAbound]

By far one of my favorite TST episodes in a long time

[@mikedean5595]

I realised that I was smiling through this entire video. 😁

[@porscheguy5848]

This feels like old school TST. Love it. Nice jobs guys

[@Hangoversteer]

One of my favorite vids you’ve put out as of recent. Thank you

[@rblbatb]

This was excellent!

[@mowler8042]

Hey look everyone I'm the Douche of the year holding a cigar as I drive a car I rented to drive in a vintage event. ( I'm allowed to say this because I attend vintage vintage meets)

[@connellydc]

Epic! Absolutely loved this video. Makes me want to get out and enjoy some old cars!

[@rjwagz]

This might be the most wholesome car video I've ever watched 😊

[@josephkelly4893]

Loving the vibe on this one gentleman!!!

[@jlm582]

One of my favorite TST videos ever. Looks like great fun.

[@BelviGER]

Gives me nostalgic feeling for all cars go to heaven 2

[@abh2188]

Love Newport, visited many times when I used to live in Hartford. Even seeing one of these cars on the road is a rush.. Driving one would have been a blast. 😊

[@itsaposcj5]

So very cool. Looks like a blast. Would love to do that run.

[@YeMadAzza]

I don't know what I expected as far as brakes would be concerned, but the Wilwoods surprised me!

[@ThePedalDance]

Finally! Been looking forward to this video.

[@joshswan06]

This was one of your best videos to to date love the new stuff, but also love the old stuff and what it brings to the table.

[@77sdb]

Fantastic video. Fantastic car. Old school everything 👍🏽

[@WayneGoodmanPhotography]

Loved this! Deserves wayyyyyy more views

[@thomaskong5]

“Do I want to buckle or jump out of the car” 😂😂😂😂

[@12sec5ltr]

Really fantastic, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would

[@chrback1]

great video, this needs to catch on everywhere

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

One of the best TST videos ever. Fun and scary asf. Good job guys!

[@steelgator412]

This looks like a blast!

[@wrxpilot]

This is awesome. The driving engagement would so fun with these cars, I’d love to try it.

[@davidmangrum9556]

While I do not recommend taking a shot every time Matt says "Oh no!", this looks like a blast, and I look forward to many years of Matt vs. Donald.

[@pirkkaruuska5766]

This was a great one. Thanks dudes!

[@mikelyon5595]

Seems like a fun adventure!

[@SuzukiKid400]

I love when Matt complains on the podcast about his videos getting such low views…and then he drops this video. Having said that, I enjoyed this video, and all your videos in general.

[@cingkole7893]

25:40 Thats why Miata is the Best!

[@TheD4rkAurora]

This vid rocks! Love the excitement and laughs.

[@georgekarnezis4311]

I have seen Augie Bush's Fiat at grants farm. but this video brought the context around how impressive of a car it actually was.

[@beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees]

Look, we all know this is basically poison as far as the almighty algorithm is concerned, but for me this is the kind of goofy, low-stakes motoring I just have to watch immediately

[@randyhyland847]

You get to do a lot of cool shit. THIS is the fucking coolest. Driving a veteran car in Newport is definitely a bucket list item for me!

[@kenbode8806]

This looks like so much fun!!!

[@madmike4128]

Such an amazing experience and I just watched a video I can only imagine actually being able to drive a car that old

[@mrphil2159]

The beard/glasses/hat combo gives me Hancock vibes 😂 Love these videos 🤘

[@lordwilow]

This looks so much fun! Amazing😂😂😂

[@sk8orsn0w999]

Awesome video fellas

[@nathankendall3467]

That was awesome!!

[@Te1ecastermaster]

thoroughly enjoyable. That had TopGear challenge vibes, and seemed like a hoot...

[@JSmooVE3990]

Such a well done video!

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

Great video!

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

Great video guys!

[@malkionx]

This is amazing ❤

[@Richard--99]

[@Destoryer2765]

Yall are doing some fire content. This was incredible to watch
