Carbage Time

They've debated it on the site before, and now it's time to bring it to your ears: is the Bugatti Veyron actually the best piece of automotive engineering? Or is it a worthless gimmick? While David loves the engineering, Torch thinks there's far better cars with much more useful engineering put into them elsewhere, so you tell us: what do YOU think? 👀

Spyker founder Victor Muller gives us the ultimate Monterey Car Week preview on the Carbage Time podcast. Are there too many hypercars? Is Pebble Beach worth bringing a car to? How much does it cost? After a short interlude, Victor Muller has brought back Spyker along with his partner Volodymyr Nosov. They'll be showing a car later this week at The Quail a Motorsports Gathering, which is just one of the many events this week. David talks to Victor about what he's looking forward to seeing and why he thinks there are more buyers for good hypercars than there are cars themselves.

If you haven't yet watched Apple TV's surprise hit show "Widow's Bay," here's another reason to go for it: it's got some pretty rad cars. So rad that Torch got in touch with the team responsible for sourcing them to get ALL the juicy details about how the production sausage gets made 👀

Carmakers almost had us convinced. They almost did it. They almost made us believe that no one wanted manuals anymore, that DCTs were better, and that rowing your own gears was going to go the way of POGs, The Hustle, and Freddie Prinze, Jr. They were wrong! And fake manuals from Ferrari and the aftermarket are just proof that demand is there. The question is: Are these real manuals?

David has completed his WWII Jeep build using parts purchased on eBay, which was a gargantuan undertaking. What was it really like? How did we get it registered? What did it cost? David explains to Jason the background of all of this.

As gearheads, I think we all appreciate the concept of looking under the hood. One of our readers does, too, except he likes looking under the hood of websites. Websites for, say, small EV pickup trucks that everyone desperately wants to know the price of . Yes, I’m talking about Slate, and yes, if you look under the hood of the company’s website, it appears that the price of the entry-level truck has been leaked.

I’m not entirely sure if “leaked” is the right word here; it’s in the source code to the web page on Slate Auto’s site titled How To Preorder, and the pricing information in the source code was spotted by a pleasingly nosy Autopian named Dave.

Is this real? is it a good price? David Tracy and Jason Torchinsky talk about it.

After David Tracy and Griffin Riley saw Ford's new EV pickup truck testing down in Long Beach, we had a lot of people weigh in with their thoughts about what is and isn't a real pickup truck, which brings us HERE! Listen in now!
