    I knew this would be Jason Torchinsky before I even clicked through. I didn’t know he’d founded a new car website post-Jalopnik buyout. He’s definitely still an American lib, but he has some genuine affection for stuff from the USSR and small people’s cars in general and is much less chauvanist and much more interested in affordable, interesting transport solutions from the global south for example than most automotive journalists.

        I’d guess at least a little bit in terms of politics and satirical stuff. Glancing through his articles on that site they definitely have his love of weird and wonderful cars, but it’s all a bit more DeMuro ‘quirks and features’ than I remember his Jalopnik output being.
