Episode 13: Does Bob Lutz Count As A Problematic Fave [With Guest Liam McAnderson]

Hello! On this episode of Well Ther—I mean Tran Girlismo, the girls are joined by Liam McAnderson of the wonderful podcasts Ten Thousand Losses and Well There's Your Problem! First, Liam and Jordan commiserate about Pennsylvania sports and abysmal traffic infrastructure. Next, Victoria dives into her Charts Analysis of how unaffordable it is to own a car right now (very) from her article you can read on this very Patreon! Next, we get into the Tesla Roadster, which is apparently supposed to come out in like a week. Did you know how long Elon's been saying "next week bro"? Finally, in honor of Liam's appearance, Victoria delves into the history of the Dodge Viper, the glorious machine that it is, and everyone chooses the chariot they would most want to spin out flaming into a wall with.Note: We have some moments where the audio "skips" for names that shouldn't be said out loud, actionable threats, etc. It is intentional because bleeps are startling. Our opening theme is from Horse Tranquilizer Simulator by Stella Spazzatura, as always!Referenced Stories: [all of the links in the Vibecession section of the show come via the article I wrote]"Unforgivable reliability issues" In Long-Term Giulia Quad @CarAndDriverVictoria's longform piece on pedestrian safety @Motor1Rob Saka Calls For Vision Zero Audit @Seattle City BlogHelsinki and Oslo Vision Zero Success @The GuardianBig Mac Index @WikipediaRoadster coming in May (jerk-off motion fart sound) @Road&TrackRoadster Coming On April 1st @Road&TrackMusk Comments About Peter Thiel @electricvehiclesTesla Roadster Coming In 2014 @TheVergeTesla Roadster Coming In 2019 @Tesla BlogTesla Roadster Coming In 2020 @The GuardianTesla Roadster Battery Range Is Bullshit @BloombergReal Men Don't Eat Quiche (apparently a real book that Vicki just did not know existed, Jordan called it) @WikipediaTesla Roadster Will Have SpaceX Package @elektrekTesla Roadster SpaceX Package Will Fly @autoblogChaparral 2J Longform Story @Road&TrackTesla Roadster Coming In 2021 @elektrekTesla Roadster Coming In 2022 @TheVergeTesla Roadster Coming In 2023 @MotorTrendTesla Roadster Coming In 2024 @TeslaratiTesla Roadster Coming In 2025 And Also It Does 0-60 In Less Than One Second @CarAndDriverLucid Air Sapphire Does 0-60 In 1.77 Seconds (I regret the .01 second error) @YouTubeBehind The Wheel At Chrysler by Doron Levin @AmazonViper SRT-10 ACR Nordschleife RecordViper GTC Tested @CarAndDriverThe Best Amateur Racer In The World @HemmingsVLF Force 1 V10 @MotorAuthorityThe Mom That Won The GTA V Banshee (Turns out that WEST COAST CUSTOMS (the Pimp My Ride guys) built it lmfao) @CarThrottleChrysler Firepower @WikipediaDodge Copperhead @WikipediaTHE VIPER QUESTIONLIAM'S CHOICE: JORDAN'S CHOICE: VICTORIA'S CHOICE:
