¡Alarma roja en el Garaje Hermético! Hoy venimos decididos a pisar charcos de los grandes y a criticar sin piedad a diez marcas legendarias que, ya sea por errores en los despachos, por regulaciones poco acertadas o por modas absurdas, han traicionado su alma. Hoy hablamos claro y, como siempre, con cero filtros. Comenzamos con Alfa Romeo. De ser la referencia absoluta del "Cuore Sportivo" y la marca que enseñó al mismísimo Enzo Ferrari, ha pasado a lanzar el Junior: un coche fabricado en Polonia que, en esencia, es un Peugeot 2008 o un Opel Mokka con una parrilla triangular. La marca ha diluido su herencia técnica compartiendo plataformas generalistas y enterrando sus gloriosos motores históricos bajo montañas de SUVs. BMW también nos duele en el corazón. Durante décadas, su eslogan "¿Te gusta conducir?" era un objetivo sagrado para sus ingenieros, regalándonos joyas como el M3 E46. Hoy, la junta directiva parece obsesionada con los excesos visuales para el mercado asiático. El ejemplo perfecto es el BMW XM, un mastodonte SUV híbrido enchufable de 2.710 kilos con parrilas gigantescas retroiluminadas. Han abandonado la ligereza y la pureza en favor de una ostentación tecnológica desmedida. Llegamos a Maranello. Ferrari juró que jamás haría un SUV. Se lo perdonamos a regañadientes con el Purosangue porque mantuvieron un V12 atmosférico, pero el anuncio del Ferrari Luce, un SUV cien por cien eléctrico de cinco plazas, rompe los cimientos de la marca. Han sustituido el sonido inconfundible de sus escapes por altavoces que emiten ruido artificial para simular una emoción que ya no existe. El caso de Jaguar es directamente un suicidio comercial. Dinamitaron su prestigio de elegancia británica eliminando el histórico emblema del felino saltando por unas letras geométricas sin alma. Paralizaron sus ventas en Europa para prepararse para una etapa eléctrica y ultracara, persiguiendo a un público que ni quiere ni puede pagar lo que piden, renegando de sus clientes tradicionales. Lancia sufrió un lento asesinato corporativo. Tras dominar el Mundial de Rallyes con el Stratos, el 037 y el Delta Integrale, los gestores le cortaron el presupuesto, le pegaron el escudo a pesados modelos de Chrysler y hoy su anunciada resurrección se limita al nuevo Ypsilon, un utilitario que mecánicamente es un Peugeot 208 o un Opel Corsa. Land Rover pasó de crear herramientas de trabajo indestructibles, capaces de cruzar desiertos y arreglarse con un martillo, a producir SUVs hipertecnológicos para el lujo extremo. Hoy se han convertido en sinónimo de problemas de fiabilidad y fallos de seguridad tan graves en sus llaves inteligentes que incluso algunas aseguradoras británicas se niegan a darles cobertura. La traición definitiva a Colin Chapman la firma Lotus. Su mantra era restar peso para ser rápido en todas partes, dando vida a maravillas minimalistas de setecientos kilos. Tras ser adquirida por el gigante asiático Geely, nació el Lotus Eletre: un enorme SUV eléctrico fabricado en China que sobrepasa los 2.600 kilos y representa todo lo que su fundador detestaba. Mercedes-Benz, a través de su división AMG, ha decidido matar el V8. La receta clásica de meter un motor descomunal y brutal en una berlina sobria ha sido sustituida en el actual C63 AMG por un motor de cuatro cilindros y dos litros acoplado a un pesadísimo sistema híbrido enchufable. El coche pesa una barbaridad, tiene un tacto sintético y suena a electrodoméstico. Mitsubishi, el coloso japonés que dominaba el Dakar con el Montero y los rallyes con el Lancer Evolution, cayó tras escándalos corporativos y fue absorbida por la alianza Renault-Nissan. Los contables tomaron el mando, mataron sus mitos y hoy, si vas a comprar un Colt o un ASX, te entregan un Renault Clio o un Captur a los que solo les han cambiado el logo. Cerramos con Porsche. Salvaron los muebles con el Cayenne, pero hoy es fundamentalmente una fábrica de SUVs y grandes berlinas que usa sus enormes beneficios para mantener vivo al 911. Sin embargo, el rumbo purista se agota: han convertido al Macan en un coche exclusivamente eléctrico y la nueva generación del 911 ya incorpora un sistema híbrido que añade peso y complejidad electrónica al icono de Stuttgart. En conclusión, el pragmatismo despiadado, las absurdas regulaciones impuestas desde los despachos y la obsesión por el beneficio económico han desfigurado los valores de estas marcas. El alma de un coche se mide en lo que te hace sentir al encender el motor en una mañana fría, y tristemente, parece que se han olvidado de ello.

Lorden og MC-legende Rolf Kåre Valderhaug får leve ut drømmen og velger seg de 10 motorsyklene de helst ville hatt i drømmegarasjen. Her går det fra Moto Guzzi sin V8 fabrikkracer til Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Steve Beres and Ike Goss recap Goodwood news, including JLR's fully electric Range Rover with an estimated 300-mile EPA range, a $130,000 starting price, and confirmation of a Range Rover Sport EV, plus a new single JLR app replacing multiple remote apps. They discuss JLR halting China-market vehicle production at its Chengshu plant as it shifts to building the Freelander under a Chery joint venture while continuing exports to China. The pair then tour notable Bring a Trailer listings, including a refurbished, bright orange Turkish Autocar-built Defender 110 with a carbureted 3.5 V8 and a heavily dented front differential, and a rare NAS Defender-style yellow camping trailer with a fold-out tent and period-correct details. They also preview attending the upcoming National Rally.

Cold openWelcome to the Treatment Funhouse…First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at a chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… something… different in your miserable life.[Brief music]Suddenly he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you he grabs a blowtorch…[music]IntroThis is AutisticAF Out Loud, Season 7, episode 1. Today, I find moments of joy… after some brutal ones.Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”I'm Johnny Profane. Startled awake. Taking a new direction. And writing a neurodivergent autobiography… out loud.Content note: Mentions abuse, trauma, suicidality... and dark humor.Just one autistic elder's voice. Raw.3 fragments from my free archive, autisticaf.me… I'll tell you more at the break.[music]Welcome to the Treatment FunhouseBeing trapped in the medical model of autism for decades?Imagine an elaborate carnival funhouse… the kind that's a maze. You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble. Guides you efficiently to the door.“Next room. Room of Knives. Yer gonna love it,” he laughs.“Just 22 to go.” Leans in… conspiratorially. Whispers in my ear…“Wait til the Meds room. Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of. Totally ignoring all the red danger flags of the coming disaster.Quick side note. Some folks wrote you couldn't read articles. Multiple platform problems… demands you subscribe… pestering friends, even if they used a“free” link.I heard ya . So, I built my free personal archive at autisticaf.me. No paywall. No ads to piss ya off. All free & shareable… on me.You'll find more pieces like this next one… there. — The Autistic Treatment Funhouse, Room of ExamsThey Called It Immaturity. They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass  —  made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk.

Porsche Trims the Lineup, and We Called It Porsche is streamlining, and the rumor mill says the Taycan, Cayenne Coupe, and possibly the 718 Boxster and Cayman are all on the chopping block, with the 911 lineup likely losing some variants too. Nobody is going to shed a tear over the Taycan, and the Cayenne Coupe will get a few mourners at best, but losing the 718s would sting for a lot of enthusiasts. The funniest part is that we have been saying Porsche needed to do exactly this for a while now, both recently and way back, so either they are finally listening or somebody at Weissach has really good podcast recommendations. Goodwood Is Coming to America Goodwood Festival of Speed just wrapped and it remains the single best car event either of us has ever been to, hands down. The big news out of this year's event is that Goodwood is officially bringing the festival to the US, though details on location and format are still under wraps. Given how protective Goodwood is of its brand and how much work they have put into building that reputation, there is no chance they phone in the US version. Our money is on a West Coast location, and the hill climb has to be part of it, because without that centerpiece it just is not Goodwood anymore. What Else Gets You Close to a 911? With 911 pricing where it is now, we went down the rabbit hole of what else out there gets you in the neighborhood without the Porsche premium. Nothing replicates the rear-engine layout or that specific balance, but a few cars get close in spirit. The S2000 AP1 is a blast, 2,800 pounds, high-revving, gutless on torque but rewarding on balance with true 50/50 weight distribution, though clean examples are climbing in price fast. The GT350 is the consolation prize with more muscle, 526 horsepower at 8,250 rpm out of that flat-plane V8, but it is a heavier car at 3,750 pounds with a 54/46 split, so stick to the later models since the early ones had documented engine issues. Then there is the F87 M2, 3,450 pounds, 365 horsepower with real tuning headroom since it is turbocharged, 51.9/48.1 balance, sitting in that 35-50k range. And we had to talk about the clown shoe, the BMW M Coupe, which barely counts as a real production run but has earned full cult status anyway. Grab a drink, settle in, and we will see you next time.

In the last of our series selecting the best Formula 1 drivers of each decade, we're looking at the 2010s.   The decade started with Red Bull domination during the 2.4-litre V8 era before Mercedes took control with the arrival of turbo-hybrid power. With an increasing number of races, the tallies chalked up by the top runners were impressive.   Current F1 journalist Jake Boxall-Legge is the guest assessing the ranking put together by host Kevin Turner.

Australia has produced some of the toughest off-road vehicles, legendary V8 sedans, passionate enthusiasts, and one of the most unique automotive cultures in the world. In this episode, I sit down with Australian automotive journalist and four-wheel-drive expert Allan Whiting to explore what makes Australia's car scene so different from anywhere else. We discuss everything from the country's love affair with Holden and Ford, to the rise of utes, outback overlanding, diesel technology, and why Australians modify and use their vehicles differently than enthusiasts in the United States. Allan also shares fascinating stories from decades of testing vehicles across some of the harshest terrain on Earth and explains how Australia's unique geography has shaped its automotive identity. Whether you're a fan of muscle cars, Land Cruisers, off-road adventures, or simply love learning how enthusiasts around the world enjoy their automobiles, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Gas is “down” in Southern California and it's still in the high fives per gallon, so we start with the kind of reality check every driver understands. Then we zoom out and ask the bigger question: if the economy is supposedly struggling, why are people still buying so many cars, and why are they paying around $50,000 on average for a new one? We cut through the noise and follow the money, the demand, and the on-the-ground market signals. We also bring you inside the modern manufacturing machine with a firsthand look at Hyundai and Kia operations in Georgia, including what it means when production targets and EV plans get reshaped by real-world demand. From the Kia Sportage Hybrid story to the sheer logistics of moving thousands of vehicles by rail and truck, we talk about how the auto industry actually works when it's running at scale, and why that matters to pricing, availability, and what shows up on dealer lots. Then it gets personal and practical: used car shopping that turns into a sea of options, the hunt for value, and why the Chevy Trax keeps coming up as one of the few genuinely affordable new crossovers that still feels modern. We dig into regional buying patterns, why certain brands are rare in certain states, and the ongoing argument between turbocharged efficiency and the kind of naturally aspirated V8 horsepower that people still crave, especially with Stellantis signaling a return to more muscle. Finally, we shift into pure car culture with tips on Texas swap meets and a fascinating tour of abandoned Detroit car factories that still hold the fingerprints of the Motor City era. If you like smart market talk, real enthusiast opinions, and stories that connect today's cars to yesterday's industry, hit play.

¿Es posible cumplir el sueño de tener un motor V12, cientos de caballos de potencia y un lujo digno de un jefe de estado por el precio de un utilitario de segunda mano? En este vídeo nos sumergimos en la época dorada de las grandes berlinas de los años noventa para analizar a fondo tres leyendas que han perdido mucho valor en el mercado, pero absolutamente nada de su pedigrí: el BMW Serie 7, el Jaguar XJ12 y el Mercedes-Benz Clase S. A mediados de los ochenta y durante toda la década de los noventa, el mundo del automóvil vivió una contienda tecnológica fascinante. En las altas esferas de las marcas premium decidieron que para buscar la excelencia absoluta un motor V8 ya no era suficiente. Hacía falta más refinamiento, más suavidad y el equilibrio perfecto que solo otorgan doce cilindros en V. Esta feroz rivalidad nos dejó escaparates tecnológicos impresionantes que hoy, por caprichos de la depreciación, se pueden encontrar por una fracción de su valor original. Pero atención: aunque el precio de compra sea asequible, el mantenimiento de sus complejas mecánicas sigue siendo el de un buque insignia. BMW Serie 7 (E38) 750i: El atleta con traje a medida Lanzado al mercado en 1994, el E38 luce unas proporciones perfectas. Su estampa era tan elegante que fue el coche elegido para el James Bond de Pierce Brosnan en "El mañana nunca muere" y fue el primer automóvil europeo en ofrecer navegación GPS integrada de fábrica. Bajo el capó esconde el motor M73 de 5.4 litros y 326 CV, una mecánica sedosa con soluciones increíbles, como sus bielas de fractura, partidas mediante un impacto hidráulico controlado para lograr un encaje milimétrico alrededor del cigüeñal. En marcha es, con diferencia, la berlina que más invita a ser conducida por el propio dueño gracias a una dirección precisa y un chasis que esconde de forma magistral sus más de dos toneladas. Puntos débiles a revisar: Pérdida de píxeles en las pantallas del habitáculo, fugas de aceite en las juntas de las tapas de balancines, fatiga en el vaso de expansión de plástico del sistema de refrigeración y desgaste en los silentblocks de la suspensión delantera debido al peso del motor. Jaguar XJ12 (X305): El aristócrata de salón inglés En 1994, Jaguar recuperó sus líneas curvas clásicas y los cuatro faros redondos con la generación X300. La exclusiva versión de doce cilindros recibió el código X305. Este V12 de 6 litros y 318 CV es la evolución final de la arquitectura que propulsó al icónico E-Type y que ganó en Le Mans. El habitáculo es una experiencia sensorial pura que huele a cuero Connolly auténtico y madera de nogal, ofreciendo un rodar celestial y una ausencia de vibraciones casi irreal. Puntos débiles a revisar: Posibles focos de corrosión en pasos de rueda y bajos, un vano motor extremadamente congestionado que complica cualquier mantenimiento, degradación de las bobinas de encendido por el calor acumulado y la absoluta necesidad de mantener el sistema de refrigeración al día para no deformar las culatas de aluminio. Mercedes-Benz Clase S (W140) S600: El acorazado indestructible El W140 es un vehículo gigante, imponente y brutalista. Mercedes-Benz retrasó años su desarrollo e invirtió miles de millones de marcos para asegurarse de crear, de forma indiscutible, el mejor automóvil del mundo y humillar a BMW. Su majestuoso motor V12 de 6 litros llegó a declarar hasta 408 CV. Conducir este coche es como viajar en una cápsula de aislamiento absoluto gracias a sus pesadísimos cristales de doble hoja y a sistemas como el cierre asistido neumático de las puertas. Un auténtico búnker diseñado para devorar kilómetros en autopista. Puntos débiles a revisar: El célebre cableado ecológico cuyo aislante se deshace con los años, fallos en el evaporador del climatizador (que exige desmontar todo el salpicadero para cambiarlo), desgaste prematuro de frenos y rótulas por su masa descomunal, y fugas en la laberíntica red de tubos de vacío del sistema neumático. Conclusión Los motores V12 de los años noventa representan la cúspide romántica de la ingeniería, una era irrepetible donde las marcas no escatimaban en gastos para demostrar su supremacía tecnológica. Hoy su adquisición es asequible, pero demandan compradores muy conscientes del coste de su mantenimiento.

A Fórmula 1 prepara uma revolução histórica! A FIA confirmou que o plano para o retorno dos motores V8 está em movimento para a próxima era da categoria. Menos complexidade, mais barulho e carros significativamente mais leves estão no radar de Mohammed Ben Sulayem.Neste vídeo, analisamos como esse novo motor "pronto para correr" vai mudar o equilíbrio de poder no grid, diminuir a influência das montadoras sobre as equipes clientes e o possível retorno do reabastecimento nas corridas.#f1 #formula1 #motoresv8 #f12026 #noticiasf1 #automobilismo #v8f1 #engenhariaf1Bem-vindo ao Botequim GP, o seu canal de Fórmula 1- Histórias da Fórmula 1- Notícias- Opinições- Review de Corridas#Formula1 #F1

The boys are back with episode 72, where Rory Flynn and Drew Brucker attempt to discuss AI like serious adults. Yeah, that didn't work. They immediately detour into Figma Config, Waymo trust issues, Invisalign lisp watch, and the quiet horror of paying for AI models that may or may not be getting nerfed behind the curtain.This one gets into the big question creative teams keep circling: is taste still a moat in the AI era? Drew and Rory break down why “taste as a moat” is getting shakier, what types of taste are actually durable, and why timing, novelty, cultural awareness, editorial judgment, brand systems, and compounding context may matter more than ever.They also dig into Claude Fable, government access to stronger AI models, the widening gap between public and private model capability, Figma's new AI workflows, Weavy integration, Adobe Firefly Foundry, Disney's custom AI model deal, and Midjourney's V8.2 preview, texture upgrades, editing roadmap, and secret search tricks.---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 The boys are back00:11 Rory recaps Figma Config03:13 Rory tries Waymo for the first time08:52 The algorithm ding09:59 Invisalign enters the chat10:41 Claude Fable returns nerfed13:32 AI regulation gets messy18:44 AI tools and IP risk22:33 Taste as a moat gets challenged25:02 Breaking down types of taste27:40 Timing, novelty, and AI trends29:53 Trend cycles hit warp speed31:12 AI slop can damage brands34:45 Vintage aesthetics and timing38:37 Taste needs systems now40:14 Evolving visual taste43:19 South Park and imperfect taste45:55 Figma updates and custom tools52:39 Shaders, motion, and Weavy56:01 Retention beats acquisition01:00:59 Adobe Firefly Foundry01:02:25 Disney enters custom AI models01:03:34 The custom model problem01:07:09 Midjourney preview mode01:08:18 Midjourney V8.2 texture and skin detail01:16:13 Midjourney V9 training and web redesign01:16:43 Midjourney editing roadmap01:21:34 Secret search tip01:23:03 Broken toes and podcast lore01:25:14 Listener shoutouts01:27:13 Subscribe, hype, tell a mechanic#FastHours #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #AICreative #GenerativeAI #AIArt #Midjourney #ClaudeAI #AdobeFirefly #Figma #Weavy #AITools #BrandStrategy #CreativeAI #AIWorkflow

Der er store biler, og så er der virkelig store biler. En af sidstnævnte – en Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe – er hovedperson i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes Top 100.Stefan Kaas indtager denne gang bilsnobbernes tilbagevendede rolle som inkarnationen af den automotive Piet van Deurs. Adam Estrup, der er novice udi det hæderkronede engang britiske mærke, lytter for en sjælden gangs skyld mest andægtigt til.Historien er også god. Og den er vigtig. Ikke mindst i en verden, hvor sportsvogne fra Modena bruger ratstilke, dørgreb og airconknapper fra en Punto og premiummærker kalder billige skærme for fremskridt for usselt at spare penge på fysiske knapper og almindelige brugervenlighed. I en Rolls Royce Phantom Coupé er der nemlig knapper af metal, rigtigt krom, ædelt træ og ikke mindst læder, der rent faktisk kan huske, at det har siddet på en ko – eller de 16, der vistnok går til for at aptere den store coupé.Bilen kostede så selvfølgelig også en god sjat mere end de fleste andre, men sådan er det. Stefan kommer også omkring det smukke i, at den nye V12 – naturligvis uden turboer eller anden uskøn motormekanik – har samme slagvolumen som den gamle V8'er fra Crewe, og at V12'eren har drejningsmoment nok til at gøre det irrelevant om du har sekstrins eller ottetrins gearkasse.Adam får lov at læse lidt op om den unge, yppige dame, der stod model til Spirit of Ecstasy og han kan også noget med oprindelsen til navnet Silver Ghost (fra en af hans biludstillinger fra da han var ung, red.).Sidst i udsendelsen kommer det altid spændende segment, hvor der bliver kastet med 12-sidede terninger for at finde ud af, hvilken bil næste Bilsnobbernes Top 100 næste udsendelse skal handle om. Alt dette – og en del mere – får du ved at lytte med til denne podcast.

Recalls and reliability headlines can feel like background noise until you're the one staring at a warning light and a four-figure estimate. We put the spotlight on five current engine problem cases that keep showing up in owner complaints, class action lawsuits, and government investigations, and we explain why these patterns matter if you're shopping new or used. You'll hear what's being reported, what kinds of failures are at stake, and why “we changed the oil recommendation” doesn't always restore confidence.We move brand by brand, from Honda's widely used 1.5-liter turbo and its oil dilution and head gasket worries to Nissan's variable compression VC turbo recall situation. We also dig into GM's 6.2-liter V8 problems in high-volume trucks and SUVs, then talk through the Jeep 4XE plug-in hybrid's mix of mechanical and electrical concerns, including fire risk and the strange but serious casting sand recall. Even Toyota isn't off the hook as we cover ongoing noise around the 3.4-liter twin turbo V6 and engine bearing failures.Then we lighten it up with summer driving ideas: water parks around Houston that offer a different feel than the biggest corporate destinations, including city-run spots and smaller neighborhood-style parks that can be easier with kids. We wrap with a first drive review of the all-new 2026 Subaru Trail Seeker EV, covering design, screens and controls, 281-mile range, charging habits, towing, pricing, and how it stacks up against competitors like the Model Y and Ioniq 5.If you got value from this mix of practical car buying advice and road trip ideas, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailWe're joined by Paul Lucas, a serial kit car builder and man behind the YouTube channel Kit Cars With Paul 79. Kit Cars with Paul79 - YouTubeOur conversation starts with us diving into the channel, what made him start doing kit cars, and whether its a day job. From there we're back on track with Paul's earliest car memory - an MGB GT with a V8, possibly a factory built car, maybe a diy upgrade.Later this car would be replaced with Triumph Stags, which would facilitate a whole social circle and camping trips to the continent. Paul's Dad loved a Jaguar too, and often would have a pair at anyone time. Although despite liking a big engine such as the V12 XJS he would insist on driving slowly to keep the MPG as high as possible!! Sadly Paul's father is no longer about, but we do chat about him building the Ferrari kit car at his Dad's house, how he would help him with jobs (although not to his high standards) and how he did get to see the first Porsche builds before he 'popped off'. To find out more about these cars check out Paul's website.Kit Cars with Paul79We're pleased to say the guys from Viking Covers are staying on as Sponsor for My Dad's Car. If you are looking to keep the dust, dirt and weather off your cherished car go check them out at www.vikingcovers.co.ukSupport the showWe'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom. Get in touch with us direct - MyDadsCarPodcast@gmail.com 

You can feel the Texas heat through the microphones, and it sparks a simple question with big consequences: where do you go when you want to race your car without doing something stupid on the street? We talk with Scott Striegel from the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge (TMCCC), a long-running team-on-team bracket racing series that gives everyone a place to compete, learn, and hang out, whether you show up in a true street car or a full-blown track build. Scott breaks down how the points system works, what “driver rewards” mean, and why the club even added an EV drag racing class, because electric cars bring a consistency advantage when weather and track conditions swing. We also get practical about the racing itself. Eighth mile vs quarter mile isn't just a detail on a sign, it changes how cars are geared, how transmissions shift, and what a setup is optimized to do. Scott shares what it takes to make a heavy modern Dodge Charger run hard, from a purpose-built automatic transmission to driveline parts designed for serious horsepower. The theme stays grounded: this is competitive, but it's also laid back, family-friendly, and affordable for spectators who want to walk the pits, see the cars up close, and ask questions. Then we pivot to the stuff that hits your wallet: engine reliability. Jeff runs through five engines tied to major recent recall activity and owner complaints, including Honda's 1.5 turbo, Nissan's 1.5 VC turbo, GM's 6.2 V8, the Jeep 4XE 2.0 turbo plug-in hybrid, and Toyota's 3.4 twin turbo V6. To cool it all down, Mars delivers a list of Houston-area water park driving destinations, mixing big names with smaller city-run parks that can make a summer day trip feel a lot less chaotic. If you like real-world car talk with local flavor and useful takeaways, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross sits down with Matt Symes, founder of Symplicity, to unpack why AI transformation fails when companies focus on tools, data, or privacy before fixing broken workflows. Matt shares a practical, workflow-first approach to using AI for sales, marketing, leadership, and business growth while helping founders avoid scaling chaos faster. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Why AI Won't Fix a Broken Business - Matt explains why the “data problem” is often a stall tactic, not the real blocker to AI ROI. - Companies need to start with outcomes and workflows before buying AI tools or hiring AI leaders. - AI scales what already exists so broken systems become faster, messier, and more expensive if left unaddressed. 2. Workflow-First AI Transformation - The best first AI use case is a repetitive, time-consuming workflow that matters but does not create much strategic value. - Matt shares how an AI-powered dossier workflow replaced 10–15 hours of weekly admin work with an automated research process. - Leaders should identify the biggest business constraint—sales, marketing, delivery, or operations and use AI to improve that specific workflow. 3. Using AI to Improve Sales Conversion - Ross and Matt break down how AI can reduce sales cycle time and touchpoints. - Matt shares a real-world example of using open source intelligence and ChatGPT to prepare for a sales conversation, identify likely business problems, and close a deal in three touches. - The key lesson: AI can improve trust, relevance, and conversion when integrated directly into the sales process. 4. Strategy Before Speed - Matt emphasizes that every business must clearly define the problem it solves, who it solves it for, and the value of solving it. - The V8 example shows why businesses can lose growth opportunities when they define themselves by product category instead of customer problem. - Before making anything faster with AI, leaders must clarify their value proposition and target customer. 5. Why CEOs Should Lead AI Adoption - Matt argues that hiring a “Head of AI” too early can be a mistake if the CEO is not actively leading the mindset and workflow transformation. - AI should be treated as a teammate in value creation, not just another technology tool. - Leaders should delegate workflow ownership while staying accountable for the overall AI transformation strategy. 6. Agentic AI Use Cases for Leaders - Matt shares how he uses AI agents to monitor trusted sources, scan newsletters, and update keynote decks with timely research. - He explains how AI can support CEO responsibilities like business performance tracking, leadership coaching, 360 reviews, and scenario planning. - The conversation highlights why leaders should use AI to practice, prepare, and make better decisions, not just automate tasks. 7. Escaping the Founder's Trap - Matt defines the founder's trap as building a business that cannot operate without the founder playing a critical role. - He explains how founders can design businesses around their best life instead of becoming trapped by their own company. - Symplicity and Levership help companies build strategic cadence, improve workflows, and scale with more structure.

The Journey of a C10 Blazer Enthusiast: From Passion to Performance In the world of custom cars, few stories resonate as deeply as that of David Carroll and his C10 Blazer. For many, cars are more than just a mode of transportation; they are a passion, a hobby, and often, a way of life. In this blog post, we will dive into David's journey, exploring how his early experiences with cars shaped his love for square bodies and led him to create a pro-touring autocross machine. From Childhood Dreams to Car Culture David's fascination with vehicles began at a young age, influenced heavily by his father, a boat racer in the late sixties and early seventies. Growing up in Morgan Hill, California, David spent countless hours in the garage with his dad, learning the ins and outs of engines and mechanics. "I grew up with go-karts and dirt bikes... I was outside in the dirt behind a wheel somewhere," he recalls, establishing a foundation for his lifelong love of speed and engineering. As a child, he was captivated by older V8 engines, particularly flatheads, thanks to his neighbor Mike Sanders, a retired mechanic. David's early exposure to classic cars, including a family owned C30 dually, helped solidify his passion. His fond memories of driving a square body to school, where he was known for giving rides to friends, further deepened his connection to these iconic vehicles. The Blazer: A Dream Project David's journey took a significant turn when he discovered a C10 Blazer that he envisioned transforming into a high-performance vehicle. But before that transformation could begin, he had to navigate his sentimental attachment to the vehicles of his past. "There's a truck when I was growing up that my dad had at the boat shop. I want to find that truck," David shared, showcasing the emotional ties that often accompany classic car enthusiasts. After purchasing the C10 Blazer in July 2020, David's goal was clear: to convert it into a versatile machine that could handle everything from family outings to racing events. He aimed for a balance between a beach cruiser and a performance vehicle. "I wanted it to be user-friendly, super versatile," he explained, highlighting the practicality that often drives car modifications. The Transformation ProcessThe initial steps of transforming his Blazer involved a thorough restoration. David decided to remove the camo paint job that covered the original okra white color, revealing the vehicle's true identity. However, as he delved into the project, he discovered more rust than anticipated, leading to a full repaint and replacement of body panels. Every decision David made was rooted in his desire to honor the vehicle's history while enhancing its performance. Working closely with experts at No Limit Engineering, David opted for a combination of bolt-ons and a K5 four-wheel drive frame, ensuring that his Blazer could not only look stunning but also perform exceptionally. His dedication paid off when he debuted the vehicle at a local show, despite not having completed all the upgrades. This event marked a pivotal moment in his journey, igniting a snowball effect of passion and determination. The Thrill of Autocross One of the most thrilling aspects of David's journey has been participating in autocross events. The thrill of taking his modified Blazer around the track, pushing its limits, and experiencing the performance firsthand has become a key part of his automotive journey. "I wanted to be able to race with it... I want to go to power tour, I want to go to LS Fest," he stated, underscoring his commitment to integrating racing into his automotive lifestyle. David's story is not just about the cars; it's about the community and connections he has forged along the way. From fellow enthusiasts to industry experts, these relationships have influenced his journey and driven him to continue pushing the boundaries of what his Blazer can achieve. Key Takeaways for Automotive Enthusiasts 1. **Follow Your Passion:** David's journey underscores the importance of pursuing what you love. Whether it's restoring a classic car or building a performance machine, passion fuels creativity and success. 2. **Embrace the Process:** Restoration projects can uncover unexpected challenges, but embracing the journey is part of the fun. Each step brings new learning opportunities, enriching your experience. 3. **Community Matters:** Engaging with fellow enthusiasts and industry experts can provide support, knowledge, and inspiration. Share your journey and learn from others who share your passion. 4. **Be Versatile:** Whether you're building a family-friendly vehicle or a high-performance racer, versatility is key. Consider how your vehicle will be used and adapt accordingly. Conclusion David Carroll's journey with his C10 Blazer is a testament to the passion and dedication of automotive enthusiasts. From early childhood memories to racing aspirations, his story inspires anyone interested in cars. As he continues to refine and enhance his vehicle, David serves as a reminder that the journey is just as important as the destination.

¿Creéis que el nuevo y polémico Ferrari Luce eléctrico es el primero que consigue que los puristas de Maranello auguren el fin del mundo automovilístico? ¡Pues no! La historia de Ferrari está plagada de escándalos, herejías mecánicas y modelos que fueron repudiados cruelmente en su lanzamiento. Quizás la controversia siempre ha sido el motor secreto de la marca. Enzo Ferrari decía: “Yo no vendo coches, vendo motores”. Si “Il Commendatore” levantase la cabeza, muchos se preguntan qué diría del nuevo Luce, un eléctrico puro que ha incendiado las redes sociales. Pero antes de rasgarnos las vestiduras, repasemos las ocasiones en las que la marca ha roto sus propias reglas y ha enfurecido a sus seguidores. Los mayores "escándalos" de Maranello A lo largo de las décadas, Ferrari ha tomado decisiones que en su día parecieron auténticos sacrilegios para los más fanáticos de la marca: Dino 206 y 246 GT (1967): El Ferrari que nació huérfano. Enzo creía que un Ferrari siempre debía tener 12 cilindros, así que este V6 ni siquiera llevaba el escudo oficial. Hoy es uno de los deportivos más bellos, equilibrados y cotizados de su época. Ferrari 308 GT4 (1973): La traición geométrica de Bertone. Un diseño en forma de cuña, extremadamente anguloso, con motor central V8 y configuración 2+2. Lo acribillaron por sus proporciones, pero su chasis, afinado por Niki Lauda, ofrecía un tacto sublime. Ferrari Mondial 8 (1980): El "patito feo". Lastrado por las estrictas normativas de emisiones de EE. UU., su inyección redujo la potencia a unos raquíticos 214 CV. Las prestaciones iniciales fueron un desastre, aunque el modelo evolucionó hasta ser muy rentable. Ferrari 456 GT y GTA (1992): ¿El Cavallino domesticado? Su diseño burgués fue criticado, pero la verdadera herejía fue la versión GTA, que introdujo una arcaica caja de cambios automática. Ferrari F50 (1995): ¿Vivir a la sombra del mito? Suceder al todopoderoso F40 era una tarea imposible. Su motor V12 atornillado directamente al chasis transmitía cada vibración a la espalda del conductor. La prensa lo tachó de tosco, pero hoy es el Santo Grial analógico de los coleccionistas. Ferrari Enzo (2002): La nariz de la discordia. El diseño japonés de Ken Okuyama apostó por un aerodinamismo brutalista, inspirando su morro en la Fórmula 1. Al principio fue calificado de feo y exagerado, pero su velocidad acalló todas las críticas. Ferrari California (2008): El descapotable de bulevar. Primer V8 delantero, primera inyección directa, primer cambio de doble embrague y primer techo duro retráctil. Los puristas lo odiaron, pero atrajo a un 70% de clientes nuevos a la marca. Ferrari FF (2011): El Ferrari para ir a esquiar. Un formato "shooting brake" que muchos apodaron "el zapato de payaso", acompañado del primer y polémico sistema de tracción total de la marca. Ferrari Purosangue (2022): El “innombrable”. La herejía final: un vehículo de cuatro puertas y gran altura. A pesar de que Sergio Marchionne juró que jamás harían un SUV, su aplastante V12 atmosférico lo convirtió en un éxito tan violento que tuvieron que cerrar la lista de pedidos. Ferrari Luce (2026): El hereje silencioso Llegamos al presente con la mayor bomba de la historia del Cavallino: el Ferrari Luce. Se trata del primer vehículo 100% eléctrico de Maranello, y la polémica que ha desatado es incalculable. Sus revolucionarias cifras han provocado síncopes en los foros del motor: Crossover "liftback" de cinco puertas que supera los 2.260 kilos de peso. -Arquitectura de 800 voltios con una inmensa batería de 122 kWh. -Cuatro motores independientes que rinden más de 1.050 CV. -Aceleración de 0 a 100 km/h en 2,5 segundos. -Un precio estratosférico que supera los 550.000 euros. No hay rugido, no hay cilindros y no hay escapes. El habitáculo es una revolución digital sin relojes analógicos, diseñado en colaboración con los creadores de Apple. Los aficionados más radicales acusan a la marca de perder el alma y de crear un "electrodoméstico sobrepotenciado". ¿Y qué ha pasado en el mercado real? La producción está estrictamente agotada hasta finales de 2027. Conclusión La historia nos enseña que el inmovilismo es una muerte segura. Cada vez que Ferrari ha roto las reglas, los puristas han gritado y la prensa ha criticado, pero las ventas y el tiempo siempre han dado la razón a Maranello. El polémico Luce eléctrico no es el fin de la marca, es solo otro emocionante y tumultuoso principio.

BMW es hoy un símbolo de estatus, ingeniería de precisión y placer de conducción. Sin embargo, detrás de los colores de M y las elegantes carrocerías bávaras, se esconde una historia repleta de decisiones éticas cuestionables, fracasos financieros que casi borran la marca del mapa y fallos mecánicos que dejaron tirados a miles de clientes. En este análisis profundo de Garaje Hermético, no venimos a juzgar con los ojos del presente, sino a relatar los hechos que, seguramente, en Múnich preferirían olvidar. La herencia de los Quandt y el Tercer Reich La historia de BMW no se puede entender sin la familia Quandt, actuales accionistas mayoritarios. Pero su ascenso al poder está ligado a uno de los periodos más oscuros de la humanidad. Günther Quandt, el patriarca, no fue un simple empresario atrapado en la guerra. Se unió al partido nazi en 1933 y su exmujer, Magda, terminó casándose con Joseph Goebbels. El joven Harald Quandt creció llamando "tío" a Adolf Hitler. Más allá de los vínculos sociales, la realidad industrial fue aterradora. Estudios financiados por la propia familia décadas después confirmaron que en sus fábricas trabajaron cerca de 50.000 prisioneros de campos de concentración en condiciones de esclavitud. Aunque la BMW actual realiza labores de reparación moral mediante fundaciones, la sombra del trabajo forzado es una mancha que permanece en el ADN de su capital fundacional. 1959: El día que BMW casi desaparece A finales de los años 50, BMW era una empresa herida de muerte. Su estrategia de producto era un despropósito: por un lado, fabricaban el modesto Isetta, un microcoche que apenas dejaba beneficios; por otro, el espectacular pero ruinoso BMW 507, un coche tan caro de producir que la marca perdía dinero con cada unidad entregada. Solo se fabricaron 252 unidades, y cada una de ellas era un clavo más en el ataúd de la compañía. La situación llegó al límite el 9 de diciembre de 1959. El consejo de administración presentó un plan para vender la empresa a Daimler-Benz. BMW estaba a punto de convertirse en una planta de ensamblaje de carrocerías para Mercedes. Sin embargo, en una asamblea mítica, los trabajadores, concesionarios y pequeños accionistas bloquearon la venta en un estallido de orgullo bávaro. Fue entonces cuando Herbert Quandt decidió arriesgar su fortuna personal, aumentando su participación al 50% y financiando la "Neue Klasse", la serie de coches que salvó a la marca y dio origen a lo que hoy conocemos como la Serie 3. El desastre de Rover: El "Paciente Inglés" En 1994, BMW intentó jugar a ser un imperio global comprando el Grupo Rover por una suma multimillonaria. Lo que parecía un movimiento maestro para adquirir marcas británicas icónicas como Land Rover, MG y Mini, se convirtió en una pesadilla de gestión. El choque cultural entre la estricta ingeniería alemana y la ineficiente estructura británica fue total. BMW inyectó miles de millones de marcos en fábricas que no lograban alcanzar los estándares de calidad requeridos. Tras seis años de pérdidas sangrientas, en el año 2000, BMW decidió desmantelar el grupo. Se quedaron con Mini, vendieron Land Rover a Ford y, en un acto de desesperación financiera, "regalaron" los restos de Rover y MG al consorcio Phoenix por la ridícula cantidad de 10 libras esterlinas. Se estima que esta aventura le costó a los bávaros unos 4.000 millones de euros de la época, una de las peores operaciones en la historia de la automoción. Diseño y mecánica: Las sombras en el producto BMW significa Bayerische Motoren Werke (Fábricas de Motores de Baviera), pero incluso los maestros del motor cometen errores imperdonables. En los años 90, el uso del recubrimiento de Nikasil en los cilindros de los motores V8 tipo M60 resultó en un desastre técnico; el azufre de la gasolina degradaba el material y destruía la compresión del motor, obligando a sustituir miles de bloques en garantía. La avaricia moderna: El hardware bloqueado Incluso en la era actual, BMW ha logrado manchar su imagen. En 2022, la marca intentó implementar un modelo de suscripción para funciones que el coche ya traía instaladas físicamente, como la calefacción de los asientos. Los clientes, que ya habían pagado decenas de miles de euros por sus vehículos, se encontraron con que debían pagar una cuota mensual de 18 euros para "desbloquear" el software de un hardware que ya era suyo. La reacción global fue tan feroz y cargada de memes que BMW tuvo que recular en 2023, admitiendo que el experimento de los micro-pagos en coches de lujo había sido un error de percepción desastroso.

Instagram AI Support Hack Hits 20,225 Accounts; AI Worm 'Hades' Lies to Security Tools; Chrome Zero-Day Patch Host David Shipley reports Meta says 20,225 Instagram accounts were hijacked after an AI support tool was tricked into sending reset links to attacker-controlled emails, with only MFA-protected accounts resisting. Step Security details a new Miasma-derived worm wave called Hades that targets config files for 14 AI coding tools, can inject instructions to hijack assistants, lies to AI security tools, and includes a "dead man switch" wipe if stolen GitHub tokens are revoked; Microsoft also removed some GitHub repos after 73 open-source projects were compromised to inject an info stealer. University of Toronto and Vector Institute researchers demonstrated an AI worm using a free local model that spread across a simulated network via known flaws and misconfigurations. Google issued an emergency Chrome patch for actively exploited CVE-2026-11645 in V8, and insurers are tightening claims scrutiny and increasingly excluding AI-related liabilities. 00:00 Instagram AI Hack Fallout 01:36 AI Worm Hades Evolves 02:55 Microsoft Repo Compromise 03:54 Lab Built AI Worm Demo 05:27 Emergency Chrome Zero Day 07:07 Cyber Insurance Tightens Up 08:02 AI Liability Coverage Shrinks 09:16 Wrap Up and Sign Off

MAY 2026 NEW CAR REGISTRATIONSMay's registrations were the highest, for the month, since 2019. BEVs also were up, as is to be expected, with a monthly market share of 27.3%.

**Jeep Talk Show: Grand Cherokee Airbag Recall, Self-Driving Jeeps, V8 Comeback Rumors & More!** In this episode, Tony and Josh dive into the latest Jeep news and rumors. We break down the massive new Grand Cherokee WL airbag recall (over 400,000 units), discuss the broader airbag industry issues, and talk about off-road implications and disabling airbags on the trail. We also explore Stellantis' self-driving ambitions with the STLA AutoDrive platform, compare it to Tesla Robotaxis and Waymo, and debate the future of autonomous off-roading in Jeeps. Plus, exciting rumors about the possible return of high-performance V8s — Hellcat, SRT, and Trackhawk models in the Grand Cherokee (and maybe even the Cherokee) — and why an inline-6 (Hurricane) in the Wrangler makes total sense. Josh teases his new "FUU" rant segment, and we wrap with plenty of Jeep talk, laughs, and real talk about what Jeepers actually want. **Topics:** - Grand Cherokee airbag recall & safety - Self-driving tech & off-road autonomy challenges - V8 revival rumors (Trackhawk, Hellcat, SRT) - Inline-6 Hurricane engine possibilities in Wrangler - Pay-to-play features & future of Jeep tech 00:00 Zoom Background Mishaps 01:02 Grand Cherokee Airbag Recall 07:25 Topic Shift and Wrap-up 07:46 Research on Self-Driving Jeeps 11:46 Off‑Road Autonomy Challenges 14:11 Stellantis AutoDrive Status 15:28 Cost of Advanced Features 16:22 Join the Jeep Discord 16:37 Pay‑To‑Play Feature Model 17:10 Tip Screen Meme 17:24 Pay‑To‑Play Services Discussion 18:35 Autonomous Travel Stress Relief 19:28 Self‑Driving Failure Stories 20:16 Driver Confusion with Autonomy 20:27 Waymo Issues and Powertrain Rumors 26:42 Show Outro and Teasers 34:08 Host Reflections and New Segment 35:40 Nicky G's Closing Banter Subscribe for more Jeep news, interviews, trail talk, and builds!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast gets deep into it this week, with a "review" of the impressive and high end 2026 Land Rover Defender Octa, a performance oriented version of the off road SUV. While Jaguar and Range Rover get the SV treatment for their high output models, Defender gets an Octa badge, though it features the same BMW sourced turbo V8 and 6D suspension as the Range Rover Sport SV. Which JLR super SUV camp do you belong to? What makes a six figure SUV special? What differentiates this from a G63 AMG? Then Benjamin checks out the 2026 Buick Encore GX, a subcompact crossover that used to represent the growth of the American premium brand, but now seems a bit dated compared to other Buick vehicles. Benjamin explains it all with careful perspective of where the Encore stands with the impressive Envista sitting next to it. Then the show introduces a new concept: tire testing! Benjamin throws on some new summer rubber on his Daily Driver and can't wait to tell you the results. Thanks for listening!

This week I'm talking with Matt Carey about Code Mode and how most of us have been thinking about MCP all wrong. Matt works on the Agents SDK and MCP at Cloudflare — we discuss how server-side Code Mode lets one MCP server expose all ~2,500 Cloudflare API endpoints in about 1,000 tokens of context, the dynamic Worker loader that runs model-written code safely in a V8 isolate, Matt's own workflow with Claude, where memory fits into the future of agents, and his Zaggy git wrapper that keeps agents from force-pushing his repos.

Meg and Spanners break down the implications of F1 shifting away from a 50-50 power split and debate whether F1 is losing touch with real-world automotive trends. They also unpack the controversy around Honda's performance struggles and the financial support aimed at keeping them competitive. They then dive into “silly season” speculation, discussing Max Verstappen's future, potential driver swaps, and what a post-Verstappen grid could look like.
