Check Engine Podcast

In this episode, your hosts trace the history, examine the evolution, and evaluate the current state of "Tuner Culture" from its roots in Japan to its current home in American car culture.

In this episode, your hosts discuss the Land Yachts of yore and where they've gone. Have they truly disappeared? Are they hiding under new faces? Listen in to find out!

In this special episode the CEP is celebrating your host, Andrew, managing another successful orbit around the fiery death orb! In what is a new CEP tradition, the Birthday Boy gets to choose the episode type. This week, we bring another open format episode your way with hot car topics ranging from craft beer to... deli meats. Listen in to see how this all makes sense!

In this episode, your hosts jump on the wave of tier lists early by pitting the giants of the supercar world against each other in Kombat, a Street Fight, a melee, or a brawl. (depending on your age and preference). We take a critical look at all aspects of the supercar recipe, such as speed, looks, cost, and other factors, to provide a definitive list of how these cars would face off against each other. Listen in to find out how your favorite fares!

In this, our 50th episode, we celebrate our past with a familiar format. We also look towards the next 50 episodes with a new theme song, and each of your hosts expand their minds by researching topics that are... not exactly in their wheelhouse. This is going to be fun!

In this episode of the CEP, we experiment with a new episode format! We've expanded on Pace Laps by gathering Pace Laps-style news stories and are going to bring them to you, one by one, in our trademark organized chaos. We hope you enjoy this experiment as much as we did! 

In this episode, your hosts discuss what makes the best (and the worst!) car names. Stay tuned all the way to the end to hear some of our honorable mentions. You won't regret it!

This week, the CEP comes to power! With your hosts as the ruling troika, we have the power to decide what will be OUR glorious motherland's Car of the People. It has to be reliable, versatile, and inexpensive. What will we inflict on... errrr... choose for you?!

After the fun we had last week, the CEP boys decided that we needed to unleash our newfound used car hunting skills. On each other. This round, the rules are the same. The intent... not so much...

Inspired by the used car market, the CEP boys get hypothetical. If you had to fill your garage, but only had the money you spent on your current car, what would YOU buy? In this episode, find out some of the bad choices WE would make!
