About The Autopian Podcast
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.

Is the Bugatti Veyron The Best or Most Overrated Car In History?
Published 3 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Back then, there was nothing close. This was just insanity. I mean, the closest would be the McLaren F1, I guess, a few years prior. But as far as... It being a production car, which means that the engineers had to work within the constraints of a production car. It's pretty easy to make a 1,000-horsepower drag racer. They've had those for years. Yes. But they can't be legally registered. Let's be realistic about what we mean by constraints because they pretty much had a blank check to do all this. And let's remember, this car cost about a million and a quarter dollars to buy when you bought it new. […]
