The board of a Michigan township agreed to rezone a terrain to make way for a data center. Residents opposed to the data center forced a vote on the matter, and they blocked the rezoning tonight: www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

I went to get my stuff out of my wrecked car yesterday. Some photos, since a few of you asked. 2021 Ford Escape Titanium, 2.0 EcoBoost, only 17k miles. Was in excellent shape before Monday afternoon. RIP buddy.
I’m impressed how comparatively clean the body was for how bad the bumper was rusted on this @bustedride.bsky.social Silverado. Appropriately missing the tailgate handle too. #BustedRide #CarSpotting #CarSky #WeirdCarBS
You hate to see when these EREV chargers are out of commission.
Sadly, my friend David's nearby '78 DeVille has steadily deteriorated in the past decade. The '90 above, of course, is just a heavily updated version of this circa-1977 design. #Brougham #weirdcarbs
The best car in the neighborhood, or at least the best one on the street, a 1990 #Cadillac Brougham, with the short-lived "aero-look" update. #Brougham #WeirdCarBS #carsofthebronx
Never thought I'd catch a real world @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social save in action, but the bollard came in clutch at HEB this afternoon. Saved everyone around the front door!
Damn... 300% higher yields for peppers 200% for tomatoes. 65% lower water use for jalapenos. #agsky #agrivoltaics ,🌱🌞🔌..

Does Mike Rowe still live in the Bay Area? I think I just saw him in a Rivian, vanity plate DIRT JOB.
Factoid: The Nissan Silvia S13 was the 1st production car with a HUD (Head Up Display), but here’s a reminder one featured on BL’s MGB GT-based SRV1 (Safety Research Vehicle) in 1972. Here’s how it worked…(1) (📸: Motor)
Every summer open-air festival or art show I go to now has a bunch of these in attendance.
The actual spec is 76ft-lbs (103 Nm) but hey, it did at least get a “103” in there.
Dang this is what we've been saying. Bolt as a sports car. Too bad it's the Chinese paying attention. 60 kWh pack and 300ish mile range. But performance specs. Sub 3 sec 0-60. 430HP. www.caranddriver.com/news/a733196...
This Chinese-Built Electric Sports Car Has Nearly 430 Horsepower and Costs About $34,000
Not only does it cost about the same as a four-cylinder Ford Mustang, but it's also claimed to weigh around 3000 pounds.

But you no drive van? Even in Michigan this would be registered as a station wagon...
Ford’s strategy of selling fewer vehicles at higher prices—with a focus (pardon the pun) on expensive trucks and SUVs—is great for its bottom line. For now. But where does it go long-term? www.wsj.com/business/aut...
Ford Made Boring Cars Popular. It Doesn’t Want Them Anymore.
The maker of the Mustang and Bronco wants a lineup of such ‘passionate’ vehicles. Gone are staid family sedans, cheap hatchbacks or frumpy minivans.
