CarCast

A twice weekly automotive podcast hosted by Adam Carolla, Bill Goldberg and Matt "The Motorator" D'Andria. It's the only show of its kind that explores all aspects of the automotive space from the performance aftermarket, to new car buying and the future of the automotive industry. The guys answer your questions, offer advice and feature guests from the automotive industry and celebrity car enthusiasts.

Adam and Matt are both here for this week’s episode of CarCast. This week they are joined by Chris Kersting, CEO/President of SEMA, to talk about this year’s SEMA Show. They kick off the podcast talking about the history of SEMA and how it got started. They then get into this year’s SEMA Show and Chris runs down all the slight changes that will allow the show to run at near full capacity. Adam and Matt then ask Chris about his automative projects and Chris talks about his ambitions to trick out both an old Ford Raptor as well and an International Travelall wagon from the 60’s. The show ends with the guys talking about their excitement and extra appreciation for the SEMA Show after it was taken away from everyone last year.

The Best of Car Talk

America's funniest auto mechanics take calls from weary car owners all over the country, and crack wise while they diagnose Dodges and dismiss Diahatsus. You don't have to know anything about cars to love this one hour weekly laugh fest.

This week, Car Talk’s month long 34th Anniversary Celebration/Apology continues, with an all-listener request show. We’ve got the Bosnian Vowel Drop, Arup Gupta, the original Melissa Peterson letter, Death Valley Dinesh, and the circumferentially challenged Daniel Pinkwater reading highlights from the BMW owner’s manual. Also, Dana needs help removing a chunk of the Berlin Wall from a friend’s trunk, and Christy decides it’s time to ‘fess up to her Dad about destroying his car 15 years ago. All this and more, on The Best of Car Talk.

Talking Cars (MP3)

Join our experts at the Consumer Reports Test Track as they discuss cars, answer buying questions, and share insights on everything automotive.

Consumer Reports recently purchased a 2021 Tesla Model S for our test program, which now features a steering yoke rather than a traditional circular steering wheel. We share our first impressions on what it is like to use this steering input on the highway, in the driveway, and in crowded parking lots. We also discuss the other big changes to this vehicle, including its lack of directional and wiper stalks (now a touch-sensitive button on the yoke), horn placement (also a touch button), and touchscreen/predictive gear shifting mechanism.
