Here's How I Made A Brand New WWII Jeep Street Legal In 2026 And More BTS Of My Crazy Jeep Build
07/10/2026 | 42 mins.David has completed his WWII Jeep build using parts purchased on eBay, which was a gargantuan undertaking. What was it really like? How did we get it registered? What did it cost? David explains to Jason the background of all of this.

One of our readers does, too, except he likes looking under the hood of websites. Websites for, say, small EV pickup trucks that everyone desperately wants to know the price of . Yes, I’m talking about Slate, and yes, if you look under the hood of the company’s website, it appears that the price of the entry-level truck has been leaked.
I’m not entirely sure if “leaked” is the right word here; it’s in the source code to the web page on Slate Auto’s site titled How To Preorder, and the pricing information in the source code was spotted by a pleasingly nosy Autopian named Dave.
Is this real? is it a good price? David Tracy and Jason Torchinsky talk about it. - After David Tracy and Griffin Riley saw Ford's new EV pickup truck testing down in Long Beach, we had a lot of people weigh in with their thoughts about what is and isn't a real pickup truck, which brings us HERE! Listen in now!

Email them to tips@theautopian.com - It’s time for another episode of Carbage Time, where we here at The Autopian argue about our dumb takes. Because, like all humans, we have opinions about things, specifically car things, and we’re deluded enough to think that, bafflingly, you need to hear about these opinions! So if you’re pining to hear us opining, boy are you in luck. Last week, in our very first episode of the series, David and Matt discussed the largely disastrous Ferrari Luce. This time Matt and I are going to talk about something far more accessible than some poorly-designed and overpriced battery-powered Ferrari: drive modes.
Yes, drive modes. My suspicion is that it took you a moment to remember just what the hell those things were, because while it’s fairly likely your car has them – if you have a relatively modern car, made in, say, the last decade and a half or so, at least – I also suspect you probably haven’t used them in a while. - Welcome back to The Autopian Podcast, now the Autopian "Carbage Time Podcast," where we get to discuss our most radioactive takes, and who better to start than our own Matt Hardigree, an eternal spring of bad opinions. Can he convince David Tracy that the Ferrari Luce wasn't sort of doomed from the beginning?

The Autopian is the ultimate car-culture website run by obsessive car nerds who want nothing more than to make people laugh while teaching them about geeky car minutiae. Founded by the two most-read Jalopnik writers ever, Jason Torchinsky (an artist and comedian) and David Tracy (an automotive engineer) — along with prolific businessman/TV personality Beau Boeckmann — the site places a strong focus on technical expertise, leveraging industry insiders to provide key insight into the automotive world. But as detailed as things get at The Autopian, the site’s main focus is to create fun, engaging content that fosters an inclusive, close-knit automotive community.
Beau, David, and Jason literally created the website’s mission statement while sitting in a 1901 Sunbeam-Mabley, surrounded by postwar microcars like a Messerschmitt Tiger (see image above). That mission statement, by the way, is:
The Autopian exists to serve the car enthusiast community by creating content that informs and entertains, while celebrating the unifying quality of automobiles.
