Join us for cars, roads and adventure in our personal playground - the Pacific Northwest. We're two regular guys with regular jobs, and regular lives named Matt and Luke. A few years ago we dreamed of driving Lamborghinis, McLarens, Porsches etc. and now our dream has become reality. We want to inspire our listeners to stop fantasizing about cars and to start driving them. The road awaits.
