Jason Torchinsky and David Tracy are two of the most entertaining writers to ever work at Jalopnik. Jason has a knowledge of obscure cars (and other machinery) that rivals Google. David - a trained engineer- loves buying run-down 4x4s, located many hundreds of miles from his house, and trying to drive them home, usually unsuccessfully. They've just announced their departure from Jalopnik to start a new website (alongside Beau Boeckmann, owner of Galpin Ford and bona-fide car nerd), The Autopian! On this show we talk about why they left Jalopnik, Beau being involved in a record-setting car crash, strange old car seats, obscure sedans, and what the Autopian will be all about. https://www.theautopian.com/car-news/welcome-to-the-autopian-the-ultimate-car-website-for-the-people/Head to https://www.policygenius.com to get your free home and auto insurance quotes and see how much you could save.

Ep 694Reggie Watts (comedian, musician, actor)

E

Reggie Watts is one of the most impressive performers we've ever seen. He's a stand up comedian that uses small instruments, beatboxing, and improv in a way that boggles the mind and deserves standing ovations. He loops his own voice, layering it to create beats and melodies that lead to hilarious punchlines. "Unique" is an understatement. It's hard to describe what he does (check him out on YouTube or watch his new Netflix special, "Spatial"). You can also see him as the band leader on "The Late Late Show". @reggiewattsReggie is also into cars. He has a deep appreciation for mechanical integration, engineering, and technology. On this episode we talk about his early cars, what he likes about new tech, his EV interests, a hyper owl, car stereos, head phones, and more. From his site: "Reggie Watts is an internationally renowned vocal artist/ beatboxer/ musician/ comedian who wows audiences with his live performances which are 100% improvised. Using his formidable voice, looping pedals, and his vast imagination, Reggie blends and blurs the lines between music and comedy. No two performances are the same and to that end, “genius” is the word most often used to describe Reggie Watts."Find Valvoline now at your local auto parts store.

Ep 687Jesse Iwuji (NASCAR driver, NAVY officer, entrepreneur)

E

Jesse Iwuji is one of those people that is as impressive as he is likable and he is very impressive indeed. While on leave from serving in the NAVY he went to a track day, fell in love with the driving, and decided to become a race car driver. He has done just that, working his way up through late model stocks cars to the Xfinity series. He dailies an R32 GT-R and a C7 Corvette, drifts a C6 Corvette, owns a few businesses, and just created a racing team alongside an NFL legend. A story like his is far from common in the world of auto racing. You won't regret listening. From his website:"Jesse went from competing at the top level of Division-1A college football to rising the ranks of the military as a Lieutenant Commander, and is now the only current driver in all of NASCAR at the national levels that actively serves his country as a US Military member. Today he is one of two African Americans competing at NASCARs national level of racing." @jesse_iwuji https://www.jesseiwuji.com/ Watch our new show, All Cars go to Heaven 3: The Crossoverhttps://youtu.be/AIncQODpC8s Find Valvoline at your local auto parts store.

Ep 681Lotus' Big Wigs: Russell Carr, Gavan Kershaw, and Matt Windle!

E

These are some of the big brains that decide what a Lotus car should look like, feel like, and what the company should do next. Russell Carr has been working for Lotus since 1990 and was appointed head of design in 2014. His work can be seen in the Lotus Esprit facelift, Europa S, Evora, and upcoming Evija. Gavan Kershaw has been the Director of Attributes and Product Integrity since 2017. He sets the targets, benchmarks and evaluation sign-off on everything to do with the performance of Lotus cars. He's never worked anywhere else, so to say he cares about the brand would be an understatement. Matt Windle served as the Executive Director of Engineering until January of 2021 when he was named the Managing Director of Lotus Cars.Recorded on Nov. 22, 2021Head to the Luxury Driver Amazon page for 15% off your order of their incredible wipes.

E

How do you make older cars turn, stop, handle, or have good steering feel? Luckily we have Kyle Tucker of Detroit Speed to explain it all. He talks about his time working for GM, testing the C5 prototype fresh out of college, how he started his own company, what they did differently, and why their cars perform with the best. It was a great discussion about modifying, thinking, engineering, and testing. Detroit speed makes subframes, sway bars, control arms, axles, springs, and more. It's hard to put into words how good their cars are, so you'll just have to watch one of Matt's One Takes to get his word.

And we answer questions about American V8 sedan shopping, how to entertain 7 people at once, pick someone's commuter car, and help someone find their perfect Porsche.
