First thing I see upon arriving in Grand Rapids is a half-wrapped 86 in the shittest pink imaginable and a clapped E90 335i. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I wanna go back to Detroit. ๐Ÿ’€

The Sixpack is very up my alley.

Obviously it depends on how it drives and if the initial quality reports are as much a trash fire as the EV's been. But it could make a wicked daily.

I'm genuinely shocked this hasn't happened already.

Bubba's win at IMS hits so fucking hard today.

"He only won 'Dega because of rain, he only won Kansas because he was in Kurt's car." ๐Ÿ™„ He won today on pure pace and beat Larson in a straight fight.

And the fact that he did this at a Crown Jewel race is just the cherry on top. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿพ

I was sobbing man. I still am. I canโ€™t begin to tell you what this means.

I certainly would. It feels like Scott has been patient zero for a lot of wrecks the second half of the season.

Oh welp, he wrecked so that's that dealt with.

Jesus Christ, that Grateful Dead scheme is just color vomit. It reminds me a lot of the Money Team Daytona 500 livery from a few years back...except somehow worse. ๐Ÿคข

Watching Batman: Beyond for the first time since I was a kid.

I forgot how rad this series was. But, tbh, all of the DC animated stuff from this era were bangers.

I still can't help but feel that Alex not running the Pride DHL scheme this year, but getting an OpenAI scheme is an extremely fitting allegory for 2025 as a whole so far.

Not massively surprised by the 10s penalty. That was...a lot.

So that's how you faze the fuck out of Verstappen, but Piastri is almost certainly in trouble for that.

I was shocked at how much I liked it in the metal.

Saw my first BMW XM downtown tonight...

I might get bullied off the platform for saying this, but it kinda fucks. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜…

It's funny. I had originally BYD grouped with Ora. And, yeah, no clue how you federalize any of the Chinese EVs โ€“ completely ignoring the active hostility from the federal gov't towards these cars.

But I'd definitely love having the Cyberster here.

I have the most faith in the Chinese brands (particularly Ora) in pulling something like that off. I don't think Daihatsu could realistically hack it outside of Japan.

I think the basic concept is sound, but I don't trust any larger conglomerate to not fuck it up.

Like, both GM (I consider Saturn the proto-Scion) and Toyota blew it in the space of a single product cycle.

I was a little surprised - but pleasantly - to see it in the top designs, tbh.

Genuinely a bummer that Forza is as close as we'll get to the DHL Pride scheme on the Palou's car in 2025 โ€“ and probably for the foreseeable future.

How ripped off do you feel on a scale of 1-10?

Though, to be fair, the crying could also be because *gestures around at everything*

Saw a reel from NASCAR about Connor winning with Jr. as his crew chief. It occurred to me that through my *many* outs with NASCAR, Jr. has always kept me anchored to it, to some degree.

And I cry a bit upon the realization that despite feeling like NASCAR hates me right now, I do still love it. ๐Ÿ’”
