Behold, The Autopians! (Jason Torchinsky, David Tracy, Beau Boeckmann)
Jason Torchinsky and David Tracy are two of the most entertaining writers to ever work at Jalopnik. Jason has a knowledge of obscure cars (and other machinery) that rivals Google. David - a trained engineer- loves buying run-down 4x4s, located many hundreds of miles from his house, and trying to drive them home, usually unsuccessfully. They've just announced their departure from Jalopnik to start a new website (alongside Beau Boeckmann, owner of Galpin Ford and bona-fide car nerd), The Autopian! On this show we talk about why they left Jalopnik, Beau being involved in a record-setting car crash, strange old car seats, obscure sedans, and what the Autopian will be all about. https://www.theautopian.com/car-news/welcome-to-the-autopian-the-ultimate-car-website-for-the-people/Head to https://www.policygenius.com to get your free home and auto insurance quotes and see how much you could save.
