On this episode, we discuss our love for mid 2000's supercars, why we both feel Mercedes fumbled it with the 4 cylinder C63, why he absolutely adores his BMW M Coupe, how he made a G87 M2 look fantastic but it still doesn't give him the fiz and which car he is on the hunt for next. Plus his honest opinions about his favorite brand, Aston Martin. This was a riveting conversation and I cannot thank Dray for hopping with me. Please give him a follow on IG @drivewithdray.

What is going on everyone and welcome back to TT! This week, we go from west to east as we talk New York City car culture with Tom Gorelik and Sarah Jilla. Tom is the director for the CARISMA series on the Drive's YouTube channel and Sarah is an automotive enthusiast and 964 connoisseur. The two together are an awesome duo and in a cool way, helping everyone outside of New York understand the brilliance behind NYC's car culture. In this episode, we discuss Tom's passion for film making, why he thinks it's a great idea to drop a civic engine in a 996 and why you can attribute his videos to a sociology experiment. Plus Sarah gives us a better understanding of how to live with a 964 in the Big Apple, what she loves about executive sedans, and you get a little more insight behind her low-key marketing genius. All that and much more on TT. Please watch Tom's videos on the Drive's YouTube channel and give them both a follow on IG. Tom is @tomgorelik and Sarah can be found @swagggles. Enthusiasts never die!
