    News: Goodbye Supra, Texas vs GM, Chinese EVs Stay Winning

    Our roundup of the latest* automotive news, from a leftist perspective. The Supra is going away (again), Texas is suing General Motors, online influencers are destroying their cars for fame, Biden is bailing out Chrysler, and Ford is just realizing that selling more cars makes more money. Meanwhile, China is selling EVs that people actually want. *This episode was recorded over two months ago so some of the news might not be as fresh. Sorry for the delay on that. Also, Bryant sold his Saabaru, so too bad for anyone that wanted it. Conner's Camaro and Zach's Ranger are still for sale, so please email if you're interested.

    News: Rideshare Co-op, EV Tariffs, and Child Labor

    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.")
