    Cyber-Bullying and Lemons Racing with Alex

    We invited Alex the Porsche mechanic back to talk about his experiences racing in the 24 Hours of Lemons. Also, Brandon tells us about his encounter with a famous Cybertruck driver, and we discuss a few news stories about capitalism ruining fun for car enthusiasts.

    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.

    Left of the Projector: Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

    In this episode, we analyze the iconic 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit" with the hosts of Cars and Comrades. We share our personal connections to the movie, discussing how it shaped our views on truck driving and outlaw culture, particularly through Brandon's experience. The conversation revolves around the Bandit's wild quest to transport Coors beer and critiques the comedic representation of law enforcement, exemplified by Sheriff Buford T. Justice. We delve into the film's themes of working-class solidarity and anti-authoritarianism, highlighting the camaraderie among truckers and the Bandit’s folk hero status. Our analysis also touches on the humor, improvised dialogue, and gender roles, particularly through Sally Field's character. As we reflect on the film's lasting legacy, we share personal ratings and recommendations, reiterating its significance for car enthusiasts and fans of classic comedy, all while reinforcing our mission to explore car culture from a leftist perspective.

    Our Rocky Mountain Road Trip

    We all went on vacation together in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park, and a comradely good time was had by all. On the last night we were all together, we drunkenly tried to recap all the various wildlife we saw, how our cars performed in the mountains, and some recommendations on what to see if you're ever in Colorado.

    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.")
