Car

Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla is a very common, reliable compact car. “Getting under it” usually means checking or working on parts underneath, like for maintenance.

Term

headlight brightness

Headlight brightness is basically how bright your headlights are. It affects how well you can see at night and also whether the lights might bother other drivers.

Car

The Hyundai Ioniq is a car made by Hyundai that focuses on using less fuel, including versions that are fully electric. People talk about it because newer models can add better battery performance and updated tech. It’s the kind of car you’d consider if you want efficient daily transportation.

Brand

Nissan

Nissan is a car brand from Japan. If they’re talking about “fun stuff from Nissan,” they likely mean recent news or updates from that company.

LIVE

Hey there Tired Pod Free Feed Listener, it's your producer pal Maddie again, you know what

that means.

We're back, but it's just for our subscribers over at patreon.com slash tired pod who are

going to get a bunch of big updates from us as we catch up on some news.

Rory has got plenty of stuff from the Chinese car industry as ever and also a little bit

about just getting into the GTI lately.

I got under my Toyota Corolla for the first time, which is a very funny story with additional

sound effects by yours truly.

Peter catagologged a new type of guy at the hardware store, very fun.

We also get back into our usual subjects of interest, such as checking in on Tesla, talking

about headlight brightness, and seeing what is going on with the new Ioniq plus some fun

stuff from Nissan.

We always love to see Nissan doing well.

We've also got a somewhat long digression wherein we talk about the love letters of the

literary greats and who was mid and who is goaded.

This after a discussion where I believe we leave off talking about sex toy ergonomics.

So come on over to patreon.com slash tired pod and you will get 90 minutes of fun and

updates and all of our usual nonsense.

And it is so nice to be back.

We've been crazy busy.

Peter's got that new two hour guitar drone record out.

Rory's been traveling for alloy and I have to find a job to finish out my electromechanical

technician program that I've been doing.

So we're all a little busy, but we'll be back super soon.

I promise.

Okay, stay tired.

We love you.

Bye.
