For some, it's not about the money. I finally have some saved but it'll never be enough to fully retire on, and at 44 I don't have too many decent years left. I'd just want to know...could I finish a professional race on the lead lap?

With that mentality, a top 5 would be a damn good result.

That depends. How'd he finish?

Noting how “The one and only” and “There has been no one remotely as irritating ever since” are kind of saying the same thing with differing degrees of reverence. 😄

Back in 1997, Tata Motors was little-known outside India. This effusive brochure on its 'personal transportation vehicles' included the Tata Estate, with Mercedes-like lines and Peugeot 1.9 diesel power. Meanwhile, the promising Sierra small SUV, now included a 2.0 Turbo diesel model. #weirdcarbs

Kia Soul. This was the Soul'ster concept based on the first gen for some idea of scale, but I'd prefer a 3rd gen with just enough of an extended cab to lean the seat back a little and a normal pickup truck rear window. With a tonneau and spoiler it'd feel like a modern Suzuki X-90. 😀

Doing my part saving old car books from landfills. 😜

On a serious note, on a normal week our recycling bins are fuller than our trash bins. If you can't find a recycling bin when you're out & about, save that can or bottle until you get home!

Can’t say I recommend having a faulty odometer. Your mileage may vary.

Every once in a while someone reminds me that I kinda still want one, too.

Toyota reports a 37% drop in profit, cuts its forecast due to Trump's tariffs Toyota has reported its profit plunged 37% in the April-June quarter and it lowered its full year earnings forecasts, largely because of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Nighttime roadster rides just hit different. Maybe it’s the ever-looming not-zero chance I’ll lose the headlights for random British reasons or maybe it’s more likely to be the sounds and smells of a rural New England night. In a roadster you feel like you’re IN it. Exposed. Vulnerable. Part of it.

Here's a topic appropriate red flag for today's news.

Okay, now I see why nuclear power on the moon is a topic today.

I know we've all had thoughts of packing up & leaving this mess behind since January, but perhaps this is a little extreme? 😜

Reached a point where it hurt to watch Trek's optimistic universe where humanity's noble beliefs eventually always win out after a short conflict with our dishonorable behaviors.

That was December 2016. In a Trek series, Trump would have resigned in disgrace five seasons ago during the COVID arc. 😔

At last an opportunity to use this picture from an American brochure on the P6 Rover 3500S.
