Moottoriturvat-podcastissa puhutaan autoista. Antti on autohullu, jota kaikki moottoreihin liittyvä rata-ajosta jeeppisafareihin ja limusiineista 50-luvun kromilintuihin kiinnostaa. Miska on pitkän ja monipuolisen autoharrastuksen aikana harhautunut jopa järkiautoihin, vaikka nauttiikin eniten takavetoisista ajajan autoista radalla. Matiaksen autohistoriasta löytyy kaikkea saabismista saksalaisiin sportteihin ja ranskalaisesta avo-autosta italialaiseen urheiluautoon. Keskustelu käy kiivaana, ...

Competitiveness and aggression come in many forms, and it has various side effects. Where do you think masculinity borders on toxic? At what point are we needlessly comparing ourselves to others?
