      <title>How Can Stellantis Be Fixed?</title>
      <description>This week on the TTAC podcast we talk about exhaust welds, NASCAR fuel strategy, and how to fix Stellantis.

We have TTAC contributor Matthew Guy with us to discuss the first two topics – the man knows his exhaust welds and his NASCAR at Pocono. We have a lively chat about how fuel-saving racing is quite interesting, especially if you can handle the math. We also preview the NASCAR Challenge that starts this week at Atlanta.

Robby DeGraff from AutoPacific and I play pretend CEO and try to come up with the best product mix for Stellantis, an automaker that always seems to need some work.

      <title>Will NASCAR Remain In Chicago?</title>
      <description>Hello and welcome to the TTAC podcast!

This week we’re NASCAR-heavy, with a look back at Mexico City and a look ahead to the Chicago Street Race. We chat with Julie Giese, the president of the Chicago Street Race, about what to expect from that race’s third year. We also ask if the race will return in future years.

From there,  TTAC contributor Matthew Guy and I discuss brake pads – including how to replace them at home.

Go ahead and give us a listen, and please leave a review if you like what you hear!

      <title>The Best Cars of the 2024 LA Auto Show</title>
      <description>It's podcast time again! This week we discuss the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show, the future of an iconic name in NASCAR, and two-way radios.
We have automotive analyst Robby DeGraff on to discuss the brands that dominated this year's LA Auto Show. We recorded from the show floor, surrounded by new sheetmetal.
For our NASCAR chat, Matthew Guy and I work through what will happen to the Chevrolet Camaro on the track, since the street car is dead. We also talk about two-way radios, which sent me down to memory lane as I conjured up the chirping sounds from those old Nextels.

      <title>Here's Why Teslas Are Being Traded In For Gas Cars</title>
      <description>This week on the TTAC podcast we talk with Jessica Caldwell, head of insights at Edmunds.com, about why Teslas are being traded in for gas cars -- and hybrids.

Matthew Guy and I discuss onboard-diagnostic tools and since NASCAR is taking time off for the Olympics, we dig into the off-track moves and rumors that take place during silly season.

You can find us wherever you get your podcasts. We thank Jessica and Matthew, and we thank Matt Posky for editing. Most of all, we thank you for listening!

      <title>Here Are the Vehicles That Might Face the Most Recalls</title>
      <description>This week, we chat with Karl Brauer from iSeeCars.com about which vehicles might see the most recalls over the course of their lifetimes. The top of the list may shock you -- or not.
Matthew Guy and I also discuss overhead storage options for your garage before getting into the NASCAR Brickyard 400 -- yours truly gets on a rant about NBC and streaming, and I have some issues with NASCAR's in-race decision making. We both discuss Kyle Busch's run of bad luck this season and some other assorted topics related to the race at Indy, as well.
We thank Karl, Matthew, and Matt Posky for editing. As always, thanks for listening!

      <title>Here's Why This Journalist Saw the VW Investment in Rivian Coming a Year Ago.</title>
      <description>It wasn't a prediction, exactly, but journalist Peter Ramsay from EVInFocus.com did some reporting last year that suggested executives were calling for Volkswagen to invest in Rivian.
Recently, the Volkswagen Auto Group did just that.
So we asked Ramsay about what he was seeing a year ago and that led to a wider-ranging conversation about corporate investments, acquisitions, and joint ventures, particularly between legacy automakers and EV-only startups.
As always, TTAC contributor Matthew Guy stops by to talk about the Stuff We Use (extension cords, in this case) and NASCAR's overtimes in Nashville. We also briefly discuss Martin Truex Jr.'s impending retirement and preview the Chicago street race.
We thank Peter and Matthew and Matt Posky for editing. And we thank you for listening.

      <description>What does it mean for a car to be American made? We chat with Patrick Masterson from Cars.com about the company's 2024 American Made Index, digging deep into the data and the methodology used to compile the report. It's an educational look into how cars are built in this complex, globalized world.

TTAC contributor Matthew Guy and discuss why you need a ratcheting wrench and which ones to buy, and then we go over the wet-weather madness that NASCAR experienced in New Hampshire, and we also discuss some off-track stories, such as Kyle Busch running his mouth about his future.
