Goodbye Galvanic Gold, hello Electronaut! 

At this stage in my life, the less-minty-but-still-amazing 2014 i3 Electronaut is the right car for me and my family, but I’ll miss that gorgeous gold paint! I will NOT miss that ride quality or my constant fear of scratching the basically-perfect 2021.

Congrats to the new owner – a true man of taste!

More on my 2014 Electronaut soon on @theautopian. by @davidntracy

On this Independence Day, we highlight this 1940s World War II Jeep. OH WAIT, IT’S NOT A 1940s WWII JEEP, it’s actually a brand new WWII Jeep that The Autopian’s very own David Tracy (@davidntracy) built in his driveway using almost entirely parts purchased from @ebay! Click the link in our bio to go to TheAutopian.com and see the extraordinary build, the inspiring road trip, the impressive off-roading, and the endless selection of old Jeep parts available on eBay! 🫡 @eBay #ebaypartner

A little birdie told us that Ford's new sub-$30,000 EV truck was gonna be driving around Long Beach today, and that little birdie was right 👀🐦 It's covered in camouflage so the true shape is hard to parse, but look how small it is! What do you think of it? by @davidntracy

The art isn’t just the final result, the art is the labor itself, which is a performance enjoyed by the hundreds who drove hours to @porschesantaclarita. Truly incredible to watch @rwb_official! by @davidntracy

Our brand new WWII Jeep, made up of hundreds of parts shipped by dozens of @ebaymotors sellers, achieved the impossible, driving 900 miles from California to Moab, Utah with zero major issues. It was the Jeep’s first drive of more than 1 mile since being completed by its builder, dad and Autopian EIC @davidntracy, in his backyard with his own tools. Here’s a slideshow to celebrate this amazing feat, and above all, these amazing @ebaymotors sellers 👏👏👏
