    I subscribe to The Smoking Tire One takes! YouTube channel hosted by Matt Farah. I haven't watched every episode, but I've seen a bunch of them. The one car I haven't seen that I would like to is a, wait for it, Prius!

    So I am asking a SoCal member, or any member of the Prius family, to please submit a request to have Matt drive your modified Prius for a One Take episode. It would also give all of you in the area an excuse to go for a group drive.

    Here is an episode about a Yaris.

    No offense to @Jay J , but I think a better foot can be put forward. Hopefully someone has a car that rides better and doesn't rub like crazy. Sorry, that was painful.

    If I were to venture a guess ...

    anyone with a Prius modified to the degree that would blow Matt Farah's mind, is not likely to want the details of their build posted on PriusChat. That individual would have to withstand being flamed by all of the MPG oriented enthusiasts, not to mention anyone with a penchant for quoting emissions regulations.

    :cool:​

    That same day that they filmed The Smoking Tire One Takes, Jay cancelled our Autocross event to enter his car for filming.

    Angry Panda would have gave Matt Farah a run for his money!
