Description
From the hit automotive counter culture website THE AUTOPIAN, The Autopian 'Carbage Time' podcast features your favorite Autopian writers and guests debating the hot topics of the day.
The Autopian is the ultimate car-culture website run by obsessive car nerds who want nothing more than to make people laugh while teaching them about geeky car minutiae. Founded by the two most-read Jalopnik writers ever, Jason Torchinsky (an artist and comedian) and David Tracy (an automotive engineer) — along with prolific businessman/TV personality Beau Boeckmann — the site places a strong focus on technical expertise, leveraging industry insiders to provide key insight into the automotive world. But as detailed as things get at The Autopian, the site’s main focus is to create fun, engaging content that fosters an inclusive, close-knit automotive community.
Beau, David, and Jason literally created the website’s mission statement while sitting in a 1901 Sunbeam-Mabley, surrounded by postwar microcars like a Messerschmitt Tiger (see image above). That mission statement, by the way, is:
The Autopian exists to serve the car enthusiast community by creating content that informs and entertains, while celebrating the unifying quality of automobiles.

They've debated it on the site before, and now it's time to bring it to your ears: is the Bugatti Veyron actually the best piece of automotive engineering? Or is it a worthless gimmick? While David loves the engineering, Torch thinks there's far better cars with much more useful engineering put into them elsewhere, so you tell us: what do YOU think? 👀Hosts: David Tracy, Jason TorchinskyProducer: Griffin RileyMusic: ArtlistAnd follow us on all your favorite social media pages!Instagram: / theautopian YouTube: / @theautopian TikTok: / the_autopian Facebook: / theautopian X: https://x.com/the_autopianBuy your Autopian merch here: https://galpinautosports.myshopify.com/collections/the-autopianHave any story ideas?

Spyker founder Victor Muller gives us the ultimate Monterey Car Week preview on the Carbage Time podcast. Are there too many hypercars? Is Pebble Beach worth bringing a car to? How much does it cost? After a short interlude, Victor Muller has brought back Spyker along with his partner Volodymyr Nosov. They'll be showing a car later this week at The Quail a Motorsports Gathering, which is just one of the many events this week. David talks to Victor about what he's looking forward to seeing and why he thinks there are more buyers for good hypercars than there are cars themselves.
