I used voice controls in the Escalade to ask to play Wasteland by 10 Years. The Escalade wouldn’t play it, but said: “That’s a great song!” A few hours later, I asked again. The Escalade again said no, then went into a monologue about how great the song is. It hasn’t done this with any other song
I’m headed out to film a Cadillac soon (It’s 100 degrees)
One of the best ways for me to test a vehicle’s screens (like in this Escalade) is to play my own videos, because I know what they look like on every screen. These Cadillac screens are very good
I found some lovely entertainment for my ride in this Escalade
Sad to announce that I opened the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing configurator for research purposes, and I’m remembering why the Blackwing configurator is off limits in my house. (It’s the same reason Starburst are off limits in my house: the temptation is overwhelming and unhealthy)
All I’ve done today is film a Cadillac Escalade, watch NASCAR, watch IndyCar, draw, and watch 410 sprint racing. A perfect day
My favorite thing to do is dress like a Corvette dad: wearing a hat that matches the car I’m driving
I’m driving a Cadillac Escalade IQ this week. I never thought I’d be an electric Cadillac fan, but I’m the biggest fan
I got to drive a (manual!) Acura Integra A-Spec recently and made a video about it. I can’t remember if I shared the video, so here it is 💙 youtu.be/VP2MTUkBCIQ?...
My husband always says: “You have to do a backflip at least once a decade to prove you’ve still got it.” Once a decade, I fear for his life. He’s landed it every time so far. He’d be very offended if I left that fact out
Saw a tiny city car in New York last week. I think it’s an Aston Martin Cygnet?
Just passed a house with two red C5 Corvettes. Same spec. Hell yeah brother. Live your truth. Double your Corvettes
I went to yoga this morning in New York, but I didn’t bring actual workout clothes, so I wore this. Someone immediately came up and told me they liked my shirt
The new Audi Q9 illuminates its turn signals on the ground, so naturally I laid on the ground under the turn signals
One unexpectedly fun thing about being self-employed is that when you attend car events, your name badge also says your media outlet. My name badges now say I’m Alanis, here with Alanis
I’m in New York visiting a friend, and I heard there was an Audi event in town. I asked to join, and they picked me up in an RS 6 Avant (!!!)
The photo doesn’t do it justice, but this Honda badge is almost as big as my face
Maserati one week, Honda Pilot the next. Never let them know your next move
Whenever I’m hollering about a NASCAR wreck, Portia runs over and starts hollering at me. It’s her way of showing moral support
My loaner Maserati is gone. I’m a Honda Pilot driver now
I wrote a story about Heated Rivalry, manual sports cars, and the state of modern media for @theautopian.bsky.social www.theautopian.com/why-the-lotu...
This is what Portia does every time I try to type on my laptop
