Colorado just made speed cameras far worse and this tech changes how they will ticket drivers. I discuss the MAJOR problem I have with automated enforcement systems on the roadways as well as my experience with them. The system is yet another step toward a surveillance state.

I love my old JDMs and there will always be a rusted away soft spot in my heart for a crusty Corolla. The Toyota AE86 is a great chassis, but existing examples are worn with decades of drifting and abuse. When the Chinese made Alibaba replica body was announced I had hopes that this could be a good for track-rats and driving enthusiasts, but now after the first example has landed in the US, I'm less sold than ever.If you like classic JDM cars, this is the automotive podcast for you!

In a short amount of time, it won't matter whether you buy a Chevy, Ford, Toyota, or BMW, the automotive kill-switch mandate stands.

前阵子好友Leo老师写了一篇「个人民族志」,讲自己十年来对播客「从痴迷到游离」的过程。Leo老师比我小一些,可以说是「播客一代」,他听播客的时候基本上也是我开始做播客的时候。而当我十年前开始做播客时,脑子里对它的想象,还是传统广播电台节目的形态——这个形态一定程度上也形成了我们节目气质的一部分。传统电台节目与现在主流的播客殊为不同,它的公共属性让听广播更有「天涯共此时」的陪伴感,其辐射范围的局限性又让它更能成为本地社群在想象中完成联结。广播电台陪伴我度过了大学时代无数个寂寞的夜晚和疲惫的通勤路,也塑造了一部分的我自己。 本期节目,我们继续来跟大家聊和广播电台有关的歌曲。 本期嘉宾 Retaintegrity选送的是莫文蔚的《电台情歌》:「走过了爱情的街道和边疆之后,才知道生活到处都是不真实味道和不确定预感。可能现在电台里的真实故事和真情流露才不太真实,像来自另一个维度,听众在寻求来自乌托邦的心灵慰藉。」 walker选送的是童安格的《明天你是否依然爱我》:「灵感来自午夜收音机里传来的《will you still love me tomorrow》这首歌,是很有意思的嵌套。」 enly选送的是吴倩莲的《On The Radio》:「广播点歌诉衷肠」。 方意选送的是何润东的《我记得我爱过》:「歌词第一句开门见山紧扣本期主题。原曲来源于白智英,中文填词方文山,用在大S的一部影视剧。一首歌串联起这几人的往事,以及听众的青涩回忆。」 小杰选送的是电影《铁道游击队》插曲《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》:「小时候职工生活区的广播在下班之后经常会放这首歌,会回想起那个还能经常听到公放广播的金色的童年。」 本期歌单 1. 莫文蔚 – 电台情歌 @ 做自己 (1997) 2. Ne-Yo – So Sick @ In My Own Words (2006) 3. 童安格 – 明天你是否依然爱我 @ 其实你不懂我的心 (1989) 4. 吴倩莲 – On The Radio @ 因为爱,所以等待 (1995) 5. 何润东 – 我记得我爱过 @ 完美情人 (2010) 6. R.E.M. – Radio Free Europe @ Murmur (1983) 7. 65daysofstatic – Radio Protector @ One Time for All Time (2005) 8. 陈景熹 & 上海乐团合唱队 – 弹起我心爱的土琵琶 (1956)

It's not the announcement of The Toyota GR GT or the new LFA which has the car world ablaze, instead it's the US President's approval of small "Kei" cars like those made by Toyota, Honda, and Subaru for the Japanese market.

The Nissan Z is a far cry from the 240Z of old. While it is technically superior to the 240Z of the 1970s, it is dramatically more expensive, even when you account for inflation. The Z was supposed to be an affordable everyman's sportscar. Yet, the new Z's price competes with the Supra, Corvette, and entry level Porsches. Jim Miller and I talk about why that pricing has lead to an early demise of the car, and Nissan's decision to make it an "order-only" vehicle.

Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks will no longer carry the Allison nameplate.

We're diving into “Rogue to Redemption” by Tuk Smith and The Restless Hearts. Will this album lead you down the Long Way to Greatness, or will you hit the road before the Party's Over? No spoilers here! Tracks of the Week: Tim is going with “Spreading The Disease” by Queensrÿche (stay healthy, folks!). Marc's choice is “On The Radio” by Cheap Trick—let's just hope he doesn't accidentally hit the mute button! And we wrap things up with Mooger's pick, “Broadway” by The Goo Goo Dolls (because who doesn't love a little theatricality in their life?).
