Me looking at the clock as my weekend ticks to just 59 minutes away.

Heading that direction from Pittsburgh this afternoon. I'll be trackside by Friday morning-- can't wait!

They're part of "big honey" - not saying they're adulterating the product, but definitely not backyard local apiaries and/or are repacking honey from other places, because we don't have avocado or orange trees in Pennsylvania. And it's hard to "herd" bees to specific plants, a skeptic flag IMO.

So the new Pope's given name was Robert Prevost, you say... I feel like that Pope-mobile contract has an obvious destination?

Love the size of the OG nosecone RWD Model S frunk -- it'll hold 3 standard paper boxes no sweat, a weekend worth of camping gear or -- if you want to fully isolate your "cargo" from the cabin -- two standard honeybee nuc boxes. Shrinking Tesla frunks were the first sign of the apocalypse IMO.

Republicans want to tax EV drivers $200/year in new transport bill Internal combustion engine drivers would pay only $20 a year, and only from 2030.

Correct -- because people who have enough financial acumen to afford luxury goods are very aware of how money evaporates in a "monthly payment" mindset. Gimme the price-- the total price-- and let me evaluate its value in that context, as a one-and-done cost.

Prime Minister of Italy reacting to Trump answers... 😆

Yeah that's the problem-- and we can that all over the map. I'm in the blue island to your left. ;)

I wonder -- still a hatch in the back?

Lehigh Valley is a region -- not the same as Allentown/Lehigh County. But yes, the SURROUNDING counties are all red for sure and I'm willing to bet some workers commute in... but that area did put up some resistance and should be credited for it.

THANK YOU. ;)

Blame the electoral college, not the electorate. Lehigh County was blue.

It did not.

Not quite

Guess not. I'm all for schadenfreude when warranted, but this isn't it.

Lehigh County did not go MAGA

Lehigh County (where the plant is) did not.

But MAGA told us Trump would bring MORE manufacturing jobs.... /s

New Subaru debuts today! It appears that new 2026 Outback will feature a throwback feature in an unlikely place: A front wheel well mounted CD player!

Not sure if this is good or bad....

Not as good as the AI rendered Saab restomod... but this 944 is still pretty damn good!

This one is also good -- using later generation as a basis

These are apparently AI renders of a restomod 900 --- no spoiler on the rear view but on the front one -- and while not a read car, DAMN it looks amazing!!

Major Nero vibes this black Monday morning...

Rivian has a patent application made public which appears to feature an R3. The filing is for a "vehicle cargo storage apparatus". This could be used to make the R3 a much more capable vehicle by giving additional storage. 🔥
