Tran Girlismo

Hello and welcome to episode 19 of Tran Girlismo! On this episode, the girls briefly recap Jordan's trip to New York (DA KNICKS BABEEEEEY, congrats to the NY dolls in the audience). Then we get into the meat of the American Century of Humiliation: Cox Automotive has new data on the used EV market, and Experian has new data on the new EV market, and we're fucked, baby. Then we discuss Mitsubishi, which has humiliated itself anew with the Nissan Leaf II, aka another miserable chapter in the continued degradation of the Eclipse name. Then we discuss the miserable state of the racing game market as Victoria tries to find her own BDS-compliant Forza Horizon replacement. Finally, Jordan regales her Amtrak experiences. A special note from our host Victoria Scott: Please read Lenin before you yell at me on Bluesky. The referenced piece on revolutionary defeatism is literally like just a few thousand words.

Hello! In our first bonus episode, we discuss how I could have been JD Vance, and also try to cover as many reader questions as possible while drinking and stoned after recording for three straight hours! This is a very loose episode so please expect it to be such; we might add more structure in the future so if this wasn't your bag, please suggest some ideas and we're open to them!Thanks so much for subscribing and giving us money so I can pay rent; we truly hope you enjoy! Jordan edited this one, give her a little round of applause, also!!

Our first guest episode is here! On this episode we welcome November Kelly of No Gods, No Mayors, Trashfuture, Well There's Your Problem, and Kill James Bond! In this episode, Victoria gets a crash-course in who Lewis Hamilton's new girlfriend Kim Kardashian is, our hosts attempt to process the knowledge that Jeffrey Epstein couldn't successfully import a Toyota Century, we collectively try to untangle the mess of British masculinity that is Top Gear, and the two of us make November rank every single Bond car on a scale of 1-1,000,000. This is a very loose episode, but it was extremely fun and we hope you enjoy! Thank you so much to November for joining us. Our first bonus episode will be coming next week, as well!Links to referenced stories:Lewis Hamilton dating Kim Kardashian?Lula's Hip Hop hat.Epstein's Toyota Century emails.Ghislaine Maxwell in the SLR McLaren.Amtrak's questionable X.com post.New Grand Tour hosts.Throttle House Youtube Channel.Victoria on Kill James Bond! on Fast And Furious: Tokyo Drift.Our intro music as always is off stella spazzatura's album Horse Tranquilizer Simulator, which you can find on Bandcamp!Deep thank you to takofoodtruck for the Nikon F6 and being a fantastic fan!!!

Hello! Here is my attempt at a podcast with my good friend Jordan Hoffstetter! The premise: two car journalists who want to stop loving cars but can't make themselves stop. In this episode we lay out our premise, discuss the challenges of car enthusiasm in 2026 (HINT HINT IT'S MOSTLY THE DECLINE OF EMPIRE AND LATE CAPITALISM), and talk about how Jerome Powell making a hostage video bodes poorly for The Automotive Industry.As an aside, I'm working on getting these on Spotify and Apple Podcasts still; please bear with me while I try and figure it out!Some referenced stories:Rory Carroll Chiron review @Jalopnik.Zampella crash @Grassroots Motorsports.Cybertruck cultural critique @R&T.Kate Wagner F1 critique @R&T.Renault Twingo on the PCH @The Autopian.Dodge Challenger: America's Id @Jalopnik.Akio's Vance shirt @R&T.
