We've picked some of the finest automotive news stories for you, and isn't it funny that they all prove the ruthlessness, short-sightedness, and unsustainability of capitalism?

Also: each of us are selling a car. Email carsandcomrades@gmail.com if you want to buy a Camaro, a Saabaru, a Blazer, or a Ranger.

(INB4: "And yet you participate in capitalism. Curious! I am very intelligent.")

I don't know any more than what's in that episode, but you could try contacting Zac. Although he just had a kid recently so I imagine he's pretty busy. IIRC the AFC is some type of non-profit.

 

Have you ever wondered how hybrid cars work, and how they get such good mileage? In this episode we attempt to explain the various types of hybrids, give a little hybrid history, and offer some buying advice.

You've probably heard of the Wankel rotary engine found in the Mazda RX-7, but it was also tested in all kinds of experimental vehicles, including torpedoes, Soviet cop cars, helicopters, and diesel tanks. But first: our project car updates, and some history about the inventor Felix Wankel.

Looking forward to this dude's project car updates

 

Rollout of the new Tesla Cybertruck has been less than smooth, and it turns out that their stainless steel body panels aren’t very resistant to stains or corrosion. Meanwhile, the UAW is fighting to unionize auto plants in the South, Chinese companies are getting ready to sell electric cars in North America, and beloved gas station Kum & Go considers a name change for some reason.

Since the discovery of Antarctica, many have tried to explore the frozen continent with dog sleds, airplanes, and various wheeled and tracked vehicles. In this episode, we cover a less successful American exploration vehicle of the late '30s, and some much more successful Soviet vehicles of the late '50s and '70s.
