Keep pretending, no one believes you, Cadillac youtu.be/dZjb8-28OL0?...

The Cadillac SRX was one of Cadillac's best-selling cars in its second generation. So why did Cadillac purists hate it? And what is this garbage infotainment system? Let's see where this ranks in the Race to the Bottom. youtu.be/dZjb8-28OL0?...

Is your mechanic ripping you off? How do you fight back against a dishonest mechanic? Let's investigate. youtu.be/ZgwAzEKmdrU?...

One of the smallest cars ever featured on RCR is also one of the best! Why did the 1997 Ford Ka succeed overseas in ways it never would have in the United States? youtu.be/g-5lIa7R6k8?...

Also shoutout to @regularcars.bsky.social and @theromannick.bsky.social for their voice acting in this episode! Sorry I didn't have any poop jokes for you. This episode DID have a pee joke, but it got cut. (See @theautopian.bsky.social next week for the story)

At long last, the return of MOTORCYCLES to RCR! The 1991 Honda CB750 isn't just a history lesson on two wheels but an embodiment of bike culture itself. youtu.be/nmT0NadeN18?...

The year 2000 was the 90s bonus level, and this is never more evident than in the 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 Kona Edition, a bicycle-themed car from a brand trying to look cool to a crowd that doesn't value effort. youtu.be/lW6BCPix2AI?...

Because I'm chaotic, I randomly decided to re-record The History of the Edsel and re-edit it with two other RCR Stories about Ford into one feature-length RCR Story on the Forgotten Failures of Ford Motor Company. It's now live on our second channel! youtu.be/XNyOqbGEEpI?...

The future of car ownership is here. And it could mean owning absolutely nothing. This month's Roman Report takes a look at the rise of subscription car services, the pros and cons of this business model, and how it could change the auto industry. youtu.be/xCLkFy2b-rs?...

Why don't "truck guys" like the Honda Ridgeline? Is it really a "fake truck"? A new episode of RCR is part of a balanced Memorial Day. youtu.be/SuKthtPBpyI?...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Time to break open the emergency Literary Theory kit to talk about the Game of the Year. My full 36-minute analysis of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. www.patreon.com/regularcarre...

BONUS BOTTOM. Today, I've got a surprise bonus episode of Race To the Bottom for you, as I drive the luxury identity crisis known as the Lincoln Nautilus Reserve. youtu.be/2O1pj6mBUF4?...

I SHOULD want a 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid. Yet this might just be the worst Toyota I've ever driven. But can it win the Race to the Bottom? youtu.be/dQaCr67kzsQ?...

The smallest street legal pickup you can import to North America! On this week's RCR, we drive the 1996 Daihatsu K100P, and try to make heads or tails of one of the most unique cars we've ever reviewed. youtu.be/1iG-slIf9t4?...

It's wild to think we've never done a Camry Solara before this, but I guess there's a time for everything. This week's episode of RCR is focused squarely on the convertible for the Big Kahuna Mikes of the world! youtu.be/aianhWFlpyk?...

Well, I guess it's time we finally talk about the automotive import tariffs. youtu.be/RLiRNzZSUaU?...

Did Ralph Nader overreact to the Chevrolet Corvair, or was it really THAT dangerous? New RCR Stories! youtu.be/VJDvDzyMejE?...

So TWO episodes of RCR accidentally went up this week: Brian's Honda Today and my review of a Ford Fiesta Titanium. Two remarkably different cars, and each one written in its entirety by one of us without input from the other. Here's Race To the Bottom: youtu.be/7aXOgWDavxU?...

Brian reviewed his Honda Today, one of the most unique cars I think we've ever had on the channel, and certainly one of the most unique that Brian has ever owned. Which is REALLY saying something. youtu.be/8_Oi24E5Xr0?...

Is Malaisepunk a thing? Someone should get on that.

Nissan knows you're too old for a Skyline. So why not a Nissan Laurel? Hey, remember when Nissan was really GOOD? youtu.be/ursszMns7oE?...

I continue to be in awe of your support. Thank you so much for giving our second channel its first million view video. Between this and the Pontiac, Saab, and AMC videos on the main channel, I am now closer than ever to completing my entirely theoretical Million View Infinity Gauntlet.

We need to talk about the movie Drive. And also this 2015 Chevrolet Impala LT Limited. But mostly Drive. youtu.be/sXe9O88ISB4?...

Dios, dame paciencia y fuerza

My legs feel like they could kick through a brick wall

It's weird how much warm weather and automotive history combine to make me feel this euphoric sort of whimsy. It's like I'm back researching a new RCR Stories video and getting excited about it again. I mean, that's what I'm doing. But the warm weather amplifies it.

Can a 2006 Hyundai Elantra that cost $500 and saw three DUIs actually be good? youtu.be/86NbDMYSGhw?...

Perfectly normal Pennsylvania shit

Auto loan delinquency is at a 31-year high. Why is this happening, and what can we do about it? youtu.be/WYH5fXXXEpk?...
