Given that we lost Brian Wilson recently, and there's been a lot of talk about the elimination of the affordable subcompact, I thought we could reflect a bit upon America's obsession with the automobile. The BIG auto; the POWERFUL auto.  Especially here in Los Angeles - you gotta have wheels - and you'll be judged by what you drive. Once, while stopped at an intersection in my little Saturn, I was heckled mercilessly by some tweens on skateboards.On the other side of the argument sits the Goddess Shania Twain - that Canadian Everywoman who raised her siblings single handedly, then went on to conquer Country Pop music with songs like That Don't Impress Me Much - where she declares that you may have a hot car, Hoss, but, that don't make you a man in her book. She puts it all in perspective.LITTLE DEUCE COUPE / THE BEACH BOYSNowadays, I drive a Prius, but occasionally I'll admire the sleek lines of a Dodge Challenger, and fantasize that I could be that muscle car guy. The Prius is wimpy - ya gotta go for The BIG auto; the POWERFUL auto. I can trace this fascination back to '63, when at the age of 10, I heard Little Deuce Coupe for the first time. I didn't know what Deuce Coupe meant, but that was ok because Brian Wilson sang “You don't know what I got!” I now know that the title refers to a 1932 Ford Coupe, and the whole California culture of the drag race was popularized around the country with the invocation of this souped up Franken-car.There were other mechanical beasts in the Wilson canon: There was the T Bird of Fun, Fun, Fun; the “duel in the sun” opponents - the corvette Stingray vs the Mopar described in Shut Down, Granny from Pasadena's brand new shiny red super stock Dodge, and their anthemic ode to the Chevy 409, but The Deuce Coupe was purportedly Brian's favorite. You can thank Brian's lyricist Roger Christian for these automotive articulations, but Brian knew how to implant them into our hearts and minds with his rhythms, melodies, and harmonies.THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH / SHANIA TWAINThis is where the macho mechanical mythos gets deflated: Shania lets us know in no uncertain terms what makes a man desirable - it's not your looks, brains, and especially not your car. It's your courage to commit, your ability to listen, your kindness and tenderness. These are the qualities that win you a place at her table and in her bed.Because she doesn't need you.  Next to Taylor Swift, Shania is the most successful female Country recording artist. whose albums have spent 97 weeks as the Top Country Albums chart leader. Former husband/producer Mutt Lange may have helped to craft those catchy Pop hits around an image of an accessible Wonder Woman, but even if she hadn't become a mogul, I have a feeling that Shania's integrity and sense of who she is would never have faltered.

Signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, otherwise known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, ushered in an unprecedented era of roadbuilding in the United States, becoming the largest public works project in the country's history. Designed to spread freedom and prosperity — and, as the name implies, provide for the national defense — these highways tore through urban neighborhoods, destroying once-thriving communities and displacing countless citizens, many of them people of color. In this special report, we examine just what inspired this massive project and the effects it had on two communities, one in New Orleans and one in Syracuse.

Denver's public transit agency RTD has had a rough couple of years. Almost a full year of track maintenance and slowdowns led to a nearly 20% decline in light rail ridership, but ridership across the network overall is down, too. With even more light rail maintenance expected in the next few years, RTD's budget is projected to hit multi-billion deficits in the early 2030s. So what's the plan to get back on track? And if the answer is more money, who will pay? RTD CEO and General Manager joins producer Paul Karolyi to discuss what she thinks the biggest problems are, her plan for the budget deficit, and what she does when her train is late.  Paul referenced Nate Minor's reporting for CPR about the senior leaders who left RTD in recent years and quoted the emailed statement Johnson shared with the Denver Post for this recent story. Johnson quoted some recent data on ridership numbers and talked about RTD's new tap-to-pay technology.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

In this episode, the hosts dive into a wide-ranging and entertaining conversation covering everything from wristwatch picks ⌚ and wild hunting tales

This episode is part of a special series called "Changing American Car Culture" funded with the generous support of The Helen and William Mazer Foundation. As historian Peter Norton documents in his book, Fighting Traffic, the death and destruction caused by the introduction of automobiles into U.S. cities in the early part of the 20th century caused a lot of people to challenge the notion that such machines would ever become popular. In response, autmobile companies, car dealers, driving enthuisasts, and others went on the offense, creating the culture that gave rise to the mass adoption of cars and the phenomenon of forced car dependence. In this special episode, producer Ilana Strauss brings us a story that begins with the pushback against automobiles, the fight for speed governors, and the unlikely partnership between a Studebaker dealer and a young academic who manufactured the rules and norms that came to shape American streets at the expense of anyone who isn't in a car.

Episode SummaryEver wandered through a European parking lot and thought, “Why don't we get cars like that in America?”In this episode of The Straight Shift, The Car Chick, dives into the sleek, smart, and downright sexy European cars that U.S. drivers can't buy — and all the bureaucratic, political, and marketing nonsense that keeps them off our roads.She covers everything from trade wars and tariffs to global platform sharing, brand confusion, and she reveals the legendary naming fail in automotive history.Key TakeawaysEuropean automakers build smaller, more stylish, and more driver-focused cars — and American drivers are missing out on some genuinely great vehicles because of it.The combination of differing safety standards, emissions regulations, and high startup costs makes it difficult for foreign brands to justify entering the U.S. market.The current trade and political environment is unpredictable, which makes expanding into new markets — especially the U.S. — too risky for many automakers.Global platform sharing allows manufacturers to design multiple models on the same architecture, meaning many cars are more closely related than consumers realize.Vehicle naming strategies often change by market due to language, marketing, and cultural factors — though occasionally they lead to some embarrassing translation fails.Resourceswww.TheCarChick.comwww.DrivingInTheUK.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@CarChickTVwww.CupraOfficial.comwww.Vauxhall.co.ukwww.Skoda-auto.comwww.dsautomobiles.comYou can view a full list of resources and episode transcripts here.

Two years ago this week I was in Manhattan covering the Vision Zero Cities conference hosted by the great nonprofit Transportation Alternatives. At a panel discussion titled, Supersized SUVs, Mega Trucks, and Regulatory Failure, one of the speakers made me sit up and take notice: He railed against feckless leadership that wouldn't improve bus service, critiqued the "war on cars," called for higher taxes on large vehicles that are more prone to kill people, and spoke about traffic victims and transportation policy with the candor, clarity and conviction you'd expect from an activist.But this wasn't an activist. It was an elected official. He was a member of the state assembly named Zohran Mamdani. Yes, the same Mamdani who might very well be New York City's next mayor in a few weeks.This audio from that 2023 conference is a detailed view inside Mamdani's mind and it reveals how he approaches what are still some the most important road safety and transportation topics of the day.Links:BikePortland recap of this panel discussionMamdani campaign websitePlease support this work!

Send us a textCars have long been sold as the ultimate symbol of freedom. But what if they've trapped us instead? In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., we sit down with Arthur Kay, urban designer and coauthor of Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars.Kay argues that America's car dependency is more than a climate issue—it's a system of financial, political, and social control that burdens working and middle-class families, strains local economies, and limits real choice. Together, we explore:Why cars drive hidden costs in housing, taxes, and debtHow car-centric cities hollow out communities and opportunitiesThe global lessons America can learn from more walkable, resilient urban modelsA realistic blueprint for building cities that prioritize people, not vehiclesThis conversation goes far beyond traffic jams and tailpipe emissions—it's about the future of freedom, equity, and the way we design our lives.

This week I step inside Waterworks Visual Arts Center in Salisbury, NC to experience Heidi Mraz's immersive automotive art exhibit. Heidi transforms fragments—vintage brochures, race maps, workshop notes, paint chips—into large-scale portraits that feel alive with motion and memory. We talk process (from research to layering and collage), the stories hidden in each build sheet and body panel, and why car culture belongs on museum walls as much as it does on concours lawns.

Finally, they explore new apps related to whiskey and watches, highlighting their features and personal experiences with them. In this episode, the hosts discuss various car modifications, including steering wheel upgrades and short shift kits, sharing personal experiences and insights.

We love our cars, but do we understand how much they are costing us? The lifetime cost of driving in the U.S. is estimated at almost $800,000—including maintenance, insurance, fuel, parking, and depreciation. And then there's the cost in lives. Cars have killed 60 to 80 million people since their invention—that's more than the deaths of WWI and WWII combined. Is there a better way?

Ford CEO Jim Farley wants a "Raptor" style off-road supercar with 1000 horsepower, meanwhile the Ram TRX is back with all of its Supercharged V8 glory. I also talk about how apps that track your driving habits are majorly flawed. If you like cars and want to get up to speed, this is the show for you.

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation that's reshaping how we think about careers in vehicle repair and maintenance. Gone are the days when becoming a mechanic simply meant learning from your dad in the garage. Today's automotive technicians need sophisticated computer skills alongside traditional mechanical aptitude.Hugh Mann from Houston Community College joins us to discuss the evolving landscape of automotive education and the lucrative career paths available to those with proper training. "You almost feel like you gotta have an IT degree to work on them sometimes," Hugh notes when discussing modern vehicles with their complex sensors and driver-assist features. Dealerships are competing fiercely for qualified technicians, driving up wages and improving working conditions - including the increasingly common air-conditioned repair shops replacing the sweltering environments of years past.One particularly fascinating insight reveals how HCC structures their educational programs to accommodate different career aspirations. Students can complete certificates in as little as two semesters or pursue associate degrees that open doors to management positions later in their careers. The diesel and heavy equipment specialties often command higher salaries than traditional automotive paths, with different pay structures that appeal to those seeking more predictable income.Beyond the educational discussion, we explore creative ways car enthusiasts are repurposing automotive components. Jeff shares fascinating examples of BBQ grills crafted from engine blocks, rims, and even entire vintage cars - each telling a story about automotive passion extending beyond the road. Marrs rounds out our journey with unique driving destinations around San Antonio, from the spectacular emergence of 15 million bats at Bracken Cave to the quirky Toilet Seat Art Museum created by a former plumber. Whether you're considering a career change, looking to understand the future of automotive repair, or simply love unique car culture stories, this episode offers valuable insights into how vehicles continue to shape our lives in unexpected waysBe sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

An automotive time capsule awaits discovery in the rolling hills of Montana where approximately 600 vehicles lie scattered across 100 acres of countryside. This extraordinary barn find collection, headed to auction through Vanderbrink Auctions, features everything from 1920s classics and vintage fire trucks to Plymouths, Rivieras, and even a rare 1961 bubble top with intact glass. The remote location adds to the mystique – so far from civilization there's no cell service, creating a treasure hunter's paradise where viewing requires dedication and extraction demands ingenuity.Our hosts dive deep into what makes this auction special, exploring the logistics of purchasing vehicles from such a remote location and imagining creative uses for these automotive relics.

Buckle up for a journey into the heart of authentic car culture with our exploration of Rats on the Platte, a rebellious celebration of automotive passion that thrives far from the polished showcases of mainstream car events. Speaking with organizers Jake Donahoe and Paula Sanada, we discover what makes this annual gathering in Mitchell, Nebraska a must-visit for true gearheads and automotive misfits.This isn't your typical car show – it's a raw, community-driven event where creativity and character trump cleanliness and conformity. As Paula colorfully explains, "This isn't some shiny Corvette lawn chair circle where judged means who brought the cleanest wax rag." Instead, Rats on the Platte celebrates builders, dreamers, wrenchers, and fabricators who create machines worth noticing without seeking validation.The two-day event features dirt track racing in a rodeo arena, a concrete burnout pad with bleachers, swap meets, and the intriguing "Mistresses of Mayhem" – pinup models who add vintage flair to the proceedings. What makes this gathering special is the "drive what you build" philosophy, with many participants traveling cross-country in their custom creations rather than trailering them. With affordable registration ($35 pre-show) and on-site camping available, the event creates an immersive experience for automotive enthusiasts of all stripes.Shifting gears, we take you behind the wheel of the 2024 Land Rover Defender, a boxy, distinctive SUV that blends off-road capability with modern luxury. Starting at $56,400 and climbing well into six figures for premium trims, the Defender delivers impressive performance with its available inline-six engine producing 395 horsepower. It feels substantial and solid – "the doors shut like an old Norge refrigerator" – combining British design sensibilities with serious off-road credentials.Whether you're drawn to the rebellious spirit of grassroots car culture or the refined capability of modern adventure vehicles, this episode captures the diversity and passion that drives automotive enthusiasm.

The conversation around transportation in Denver can often feel like two steps forward, one step back. RTD built out a massive network of light rail lines thirty years ago, but now thousands of Denverites have abandoned the trains. Our elected officials talk a lot about ending traffic fatalities, but hesitate on making transformative changes to our streets. For almost ten years, Nate Minor has reported on Denver's unique transportation quandaries and challenges, driving the conversation on everything from RTD to bike lanes. But now he's leaving town for a job in Minnesota. So he's back on with host Bree Davies one last time to look back and share a few predictions. Nate mentioned Mayor Johnston's comments on transportation on our show back in February. For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.
