Abandoning an air-cooled Porsche. Alloy's Rory Carroll explores his relationship with a car he's neglected for 20 years.

Here’s a post I did about aging and sports cars

Tired episode 105, with Rory calling in from trackside at Daytona, will be up either tonight or in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. (Your producer pal Matty has been handling snow/ice removal for a few days and is trying to marathon the edit on equal milligram amounts of tylenol and caffeine rn)

If you’re racing curious, this is maybe the best time ever to get into sports cars. Check out this comprehensive IMSA preview from Peter Hughes: alloymag.com/endurance-ra...

Can Chinese cars from Zeekr make it in the US? We recently drove a handful of Chinese cars. They're better than you think.

I feel special being named checked by @rorycarroll.bsky.social for @alloymag.bsky.social‘s piece on Geely.

Give it a read

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Episode 102: Auld Lang Cynicism | Tired Get more from Tired on Patreon

www.patreon.com/posts/episod... HAPPY NEW TIRED. The semiotics of the ID. Buzz, the pain of market forces, Cheez-It v. Pop-Tart, an In Memoriam from the autojourno world, new tunes from Peter, and some predictions for the new year. Plus: a twist ending for real Tired heads.

It says NO BLOOD FOR OIL in red allcaps, with a brownish rust colored helmeted soldier wearing a gas mask and holding up an m-16.

The design of this bumper sticker, which you can see all over the bay area, hasn't changed in over 30 years, because unfortunately it has never not been relevant.

Happy 20XX Everybody, by Peter Peter Hughes track by Peter Peter Hughes

Was 2025 a rough one for you? If so, Peter Hughes just dropped a new song for this New Years Eve. And it's open enough that you'll be able to use it for every weary, beaten-down New Years Eve to come. Bring on the next one... peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/track/happy-...

Subscribers also get PATREON DUNK TANK #3 wherein producer Matty speedruns explaining 60 chapters of Formula 1 fanfiction. Distinctions of kitsch vs. camp are explored, and we talk UK landmines, IndyCar marketing, and peer review. Matty's gotta read 14 chapters in January—unless you make it worse!

Episode 101: Advanced Driver Aggravation Systems | Tired Get more from Tired on Patreon

NEW TIRED! www.patreon.com/posts/episod... Rory brings us the trials & travails of adventuring in not-quite the right vehicle, Peter identifies two very different kinds of lane-assist, and Matty hangs onto his Windows 10 machine for dear life.

our promise at Tired: The Car Podcast For People Who Understand That Cars Are Bad is that the Video Podcast fad will come and go w/o us joining in, and i as your producer will still be providing you the best audio experience that my bare hands and Audacity will allow

a note from yr producer pal matty on Patreon Dunk Tank: good ol' G.K. keeps forging ahead. i have 473 more chapters to read, and $223/mo means i'm set to put another 23-chapter dent in that. will our Patreon subscribers get me over the finish line in 2026? or will G.K. hit 7 million words first?

Episode 100: Beard Chat | Tired Get more from Tired on Patreon

In ep #100, we've got Chery news, a text-based movie review from a friend of the pod, speculation on Bari Weiss's engagement metrics, and a follow-up from Peter on Drive My Car. And as a holiday present to Peter who likes things Pod Verité, I left some coughing in. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Episode 98: Here's A Wagon, Get On It | Tired Get more from Tired on Patreon

NEW TIRED. We talk about big corporations demonstrating they straight-up don't care anymore, scratch the surface on CAFE regs making cars worse, and talk about the most beautiful form factor money can buy... if you're lucky. PLUS: an update on Peter's Peugeot 505? www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

We went on several very long digressions in this episode that are both funny AND would benefit from extra audio cues, so episode 95 will be a bonus bits fun one for our Patreon subscribers later this week.

Episode 94: The Kung-Fu Marxist | Tired Get more from Tired on Patreon

WE'RE BACK. Eulogies for the ID. Buzz, MORE troubles ahead for the German automotive industry, and Rory reminds us all that no corporation is your friend, your ally, or really even capable of moral good at all due to the system in which it operates. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

There are two neat Tired eps in the pipeline, one public and one Patreon! They'll be up as soon as your producer pal Matty figures out why Audacity started lagging and then perpetually crashing today mid-edit...

mea culpa for audio issues in this one, good headphones are outta commission & yr producer pal matty had to edit+QA on bad earbuds. hopefully sounds good enough for the 10 or so people whose patreon pledges DIRECTLY deliberately funded the ongoing psychic attack on me ˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖ thank youuuu
