I've been known to write things. As seen in R&T, Jalopnik, Motorsport, RideApart, Porsche Panorama, Racewknd, etc... Sometime screenwriter. Here for the zooms and the vrooms.
Fun fact: I actually took my background photo as part of a photo shoot a few years ago. The background photo was in the Sotheby's gallery, posed as a "work of art."

A couple of ones from RA I wanted to post but just couldn't get the picture. Also that's just my husband's arm in both pictures. Yes.
But who is actually buying the Plymouth Prowlers once their original boomer owners die?
Also: How to do the watching of racing at Road America. Embrace the dairy.
Finally, after a horribly long hiatus, the return of car spotting from Road America! (Thread, of course)
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.

Any fellow friends going to be at Road America this weekend...?
Had to go with another one since @booksnburnouts.bsky.social took my go-to. 😂 Film you've watched more than six times with a GIF. Hard mode: No Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

It takes all of me not to yell at stupid people that are like "NO TAXES" and like, ok. When your house catches fire we should let it burn and you'll pay more for your home insurance and/or god forbid you have a heart attack and firefighters as first responders are your only hope to live. Good luck.
Also found at Meijer today... We have gone too far. Why a ranch bottle stuffy?
Interesting? Not sure why they're such earthy tones...?
Had a thought today. Just the one. 😅 What if we taxed manufacturers (auto, luxury, toys, food, etc) for making products with plastics or metals that could be recycled so they can be properly recycled? If you're gonna use them to the detriment of the world, you should pay for its disposal too.
Well, I found something more amusing than watching me get into today's 1500s, Raptors and heavy duty trucks as a whole. Apparently watching me climb into a fire engine is grade A entertainment. #shortylife

Truly enjoyed this. I too have seen the writing on the wall. One can only hope more people come to their senses before it's too late.
The AI Bubble Is Going To Burst
As car companies await the collapse of the AI boom, we should all consider the roles we played in getting here.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”
Smoke has got all of us here in the north living in a real version of Silent Hill.
It smells like treated lumbar on fire outside and air quality went from 124 at around 8 this morning to 424. But everything is totally fine, climate change isn't a thing, and we should apparently be worried about "free and fair" elections (?) for tonight's shitshow.

'Downsizing' was the order of the day for US car makers during the 1970s, producing a wider choice of domestic smaller cars. The 3.8-litre Buick Skyhawk was one of three GM models which used an unusually sporty-looking 2+2 hatchback bodystyle, shown here in a late version for 1980. #carbluesky
Props to whomever placed the $914 bet, and the rest of folks for respecting it enough to let it stay for a time.

Beautiful Michigan Public Radio playing "Stormy Weather" while talking about stock market losses this morning.
