This week on the Check Engine Podcast, we commit WILD thievery. "Borrowing" an idea from My Brother's Sneaker (one of Andrew's favorite podcasts, btw) the boys discuss their "Holy Grail" cars. Cars that THEY would do... many things to acquire. Given their own bias, the rest of the team needs to decide one thing: at this price, at this time, IS IT WORTH IT? Listen in to find out! My Brother's Sneak...

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...

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! Theme song provided by the multi-talented Arne Parrott. Find him at www.atptunes.com as well as SoundCloud and Twitter @ArneParr...

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!

In this episode of firsts, the CEP boys celebrate St. Patrick's day by recording an episode! This show and tell-type episode sees a few firsts, including our first live, studio audience and our first episode in our natural state: just a little drunk... You know, just to embrace the reason for the season: the bottle!

We have something to say...

What else were we going to call it? It's March, Nick came away a little mad, there were brackets made AND brackets busted. We can't call it... that. So, welcome to The Big Dance, a happily non-protected phrase! In this week's episode, the CEP boys take their definition of the iconic car discussed in the last episode and attempt to crown The Check Engine Podcast's Most Iconic Car!

This weeks, the CEP boys discuss what's REALLY iconic. Nowadays, anything and EVERYTHING gets the iconic label thrown on it. We discuss some of the hallmark qualities of iconic cars and some of the cars that WE think truly deserve the label.

This week, the boys discuss our weekend assignments! Andrew and Tristan discuss the Chicago International Auto Show and Nick gives us the rundown of his weekend in Daytona!

In this Episode, the CEP boys discuss what makes for good driving music. We've discussed road trip music in the past, but this time? This time, we take on music that pushes that speedometer just a little higher, the music that makes commutes suddenly seem... shorter, and music that will end up sending Nick to jail.

The CEP Boys bring you a three-pack of stories this week, in our latest "show and tell" episode. They all leave us wondering what will happen next!

GM has a problem: Cadillac. In this episode, the CEP boys lend their collective mental horsepower to determine the future of GM's most iconic yet most troublesome brand. 

Ever wonder why EVERY truck has best in-class towing? Every wonder why every SUV has the best in-class rear leg room? So did we! In this episode, the CEP boys discuss the maze that is the world of car classification and try to find a solution!

Putting on their evil wizard hats this week, the CEP boys let you know what cars they want to see back from the dead!
