I don’t know what a Dragula is, but it really should be a Dodge.

My job is car. Former editor at Autoblog and Edmunds, current writer for many car sites. I also like Star Trek and the Toronto Blue Jays, so that’ll get sprinkled in here, too. Proudly 🇨🇦
I’ve started watching Top Gear with my son. A recent question, out of the blue, in the car: “Did they sell Geoff?” “What?!? Who?” “The Hammerhead i Eagle Thrust.” “Ohhhh. Wait, THAT name you remember??”
Red. Nordkap blue interior. Space-ball manual. Hell. Yeah. Plus, the S60 R was delightfully bonkers when I got a chance to drive it carsandbids.com/auctions/3o2...

Wild idea for next Camaro. Just follow me here. I know it's crazy, but, what if this time ... you could actually see out of the thing?!? I know, it's pie in the sky stuff, but anything's possible. www.motortrend.com/news/2028-ch...
Yes, the Chevrolet Camaro Is Returning for 2028!
Chevy’s Camaro is coming back after several years to once again bring the fight to Ford’s Mustang and Dodge’s Charger.

Riz Bar: The Next Generation (alt title Riz Bar 3: The Search for Booze) is currently in production. I need one more cocktail for the B Mariner Cocktail Library. Now taking suggestions. (Current Riz Bar for reference)
Had to rearrange the office a bit (and the Star Trek cabinet) for recording THE Deep Space Nine episode of the @temporalinvestigations.com podcast today. Thanks to @chadkirchner.com for having me on. 🖖🏻
And I’m one of them! 🖖🏻🇨🇦
Recording the most international @temporalinvestigations.com podcast episode yet tomorrow. At least three different nationalities. Three different time zones. It must be something special. It is. We’re talking Deep Space Nine. Make sure you’re subscribed. temporalinvestigations.com
Posting anything seems woefully insufficient, but I wanted to share this. It was a pleasure playing in the sandbox with you. I have been and always shall be your friend.

*Eye-roll* Ugh, apparently it's National AI Day? Go away. The only thing I'll be doing to celebrate is watch a Data episode of TNG.
Is anyone else getting bombarded by phishing e-mails claiming to be head hunters wowed by your experiences that were clearly skimmed from LinkedIn? And not even my current profile. It's getting ridiculous.
I like Will Ferrell, but this #HomeRunDerby announcement show is a fucking mess. Not helping is Philadelphia fans booing every non Phillie. Wow, great choice for a venue MLB. Just the worst.
Last year, I wore another draught-era #BlueJays jersey in West Sac … and they lost that one too. We have a pattern here. Never again.
#BlueJays pitchers playing like trash. This is what I get for wearing a draught-era jersey. Bad mojo.
Good news!!! One more reason I’d rather be doing this job in England.
New Dacia estate is like an Audi A6 Allroad… but for a third of the price! >> buff.ly/VqzREPq
I’m here tonight. What can I say except, “you’re welcome.”
This is a week or two's worth of frustration coming out tonight over in San Francisco. 11 hits in #Bluejays first two trips through the lineup after they couldn't buy a hit for three games. Beautiful. 7-1 #Jays top3.
As expected, I’m one of a great many here in San Francisco wearing blue. #BlueJays fans travel (even if this one is coming from the south instead of the north)
Of all the interesting EVs on sale in Europe, including those made by Stellantis, THIS is what we get? Really?
The Topolino is less than 100 inches long, has only 8 horsepower, and can travel 46 miles on a charge at a top speed of 25 mph.
Well, at least I didn’t drive to see the #BlueJays in San Francisco tonight. Woof. Just gonna tell myself I’m going to see the stadium.
We talked a little bit about some future expansion plans. This isn't comprehensive, but it's where we're going in the short term. www.patreon.com/Starbase80/p...

Celebrating the 4th of July like any good Canadian would: fleeing to Nova Scotia.
My ability to talk whilst driving is well-documented, but this is the first time I've had to talk whilst catching a Yakima crossbar that was thrown at me. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM3u...

The 2026 Auto Express Car of the Year is the Nissan Leaf! “The Leaf is a car that will make owners blissfully happy, because its mission is to prioritise their needs. It is an outstanding family EV, with class-leading performance in every measure.” #AEAwards #Nissan buff.ly/DTfsSmH
"If you're using adaptive cruise control and tap the brakes, the vehicle no longer turns off the system altogether. Instead, it adjusts the ACC to the speed you've asked it to slow down to." Um, no thank you.

Overland Expo is going on in Redmond, Ore., so I spotted a couple of gems like this one driving south from Bend. Also saw a similarly outfitted Volvo 240 sedan, a whole bunch of Crown Vics and some sort of 60s Euro sedan. It was like I stumbled upon a Top Gear challenge.
One of two cars I saw today with this Thule Force cargo box mounted in the wrong direction. WTF?
I’m seeing SO many second gen Honda CR-Vs here in Bend, Oregon. I can see why. Unique blend of outdoorsy utility, longevity and current price point.
