Who can pull off a Koenigsegg? Who's still dreaming of an old Datsun? How far ahead is Toyota looking? We also check-in with Rory's angle-grinder scar, and offer 3 tales of things left stranded in the age of the post-mechanical.

Part 1 of 2. A single point of frustration in a loaner car brings us back to a point from episode 8: the fundamentals are settled in designing a car, so what happens when a manufacturer tries to change one anyway? We talk spy planes, disruption in the PRNDL space, and more.

We take one last look back at Saturn and useful consumer goods, then turn to the financialized future. From automotive ''Autopilot'' to Generative AI, we aren't the only ones asking: ''Who's buying this stuff?''

The first half of our Saturn two-parter situates us in the disorientation of the post-Cold War 90's with Nirvana and Waco, to try and explain the weirdness to come... but first, new car tech headaches and Lux Interior's unlikely ride. Part 2 will be this week's Patreon-exclusive episode. To support the pod, join up at https://www.patreon.com/tiredpod for just $5/mo.

Hill Climb postscript, how to get a bug out of your ear canal, Rory chimes in on the "Are cars bad?" question, and we each introduce ourselves by confessing our sins, i.e. listing the contents of our respective personal automotive stables.

A pod in two segments. Rory gives one last update on the Lada before the Empire Hill Climb, and revisits its previous outing at the 24 Hours Of Lemons. With Rory departing to thrash and our trio down to two, Peter and Matty explain how we got here, what we'll be doing on the pod going forward, and what it means for a car enthusiast to say that cars are bad. Our report from the Empire Hill Climb will be a Patreon-exclusive episode, and we'll have an exclusive episode every week from here on out. Subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/tiredpod to get both instead of just the free episode every week!

In our first formal episode: Rory revisits our tool safety chat from episode 0, Peter yearns for a garage that preserves his sense of order, and Matty suggests a Twitch emote of a dancing angle-grinder. Also discussed: Action Pants and a Saab up for adoption.

It's the podcast equivalent of Free Practice 1. We get out on track and take a few warm-up laps, compare notes about traditional September gatherings of vintage machinery on both sides of the Atlantic, and puzzle over some lingering questions about World War II, chief among them: Which one was that again?
