Tired: The Car Podcast For People Who Understand That Cars Are Bad

We've got some DIY chat this week as Peter brings a little of the SPG indoors and Rory talks PDR. We also talk Mercedes styling, powered industrial equipment, GTI headaches, and autojourno peers.

Rory went down to see how Ford's tackling the EV pickup idea. We salute Alex Zanardi for racing as hard as he could, for as long as he could. We also shout out the guys at Speeed for teaching the youngsters interior design.

While Peter drives south to Sebring, enjoy Rory's read on Honda's decision to walk back their EVs, including the Honda 0.

Rory reports in from his trip to CES, but ditches the showroom and hits the track instead. We also talk about what market forces and consumer preferences mean, and how we could start addressing the EV convenience issue from the ground-up, with a little help...

We recorded this on New Years Day to talk about vibe shifts, the semiotics of the ID. Buzz, who's doomed in 2026, Cheez-It v. Pop-Tart, and one In Memoriam. Plus: a twist ending and, at Matty & Rory's insistence, some new Peter tunes to play us out...

We don't try to make episodes about new technology, it's just what life puts in our laps. Rory brings us the trials & travails of adventuring in not-quite the right vehicle, Peter identifies two very different kinds of lane-assist, and Matty hangs onto his Windows 10 machine for dear life.

A discussion of the NASCAR Playoffs leads us deep into the psyche of the average U.S. American sports enjoyer. Then Peter brings us a Wikipedia dive so sinister it needs the other music, and Rory takes us to TC Rock City. We recorded this right after our PATREON DUNK TANK #2 which will be uploaded soon.
