Pulling out all the superstition stops today.

You'd think as things get worse more and more people would admit they made a mistake supporting Trump. But history suggests the opposite is true. As the social and moral cost of admitting they made a horrible error increases, plenty of prideful people will double down to avoid acknowledging it.

There is no better EV for New England than this one.

Soon shall he rise

Maaan. Cmon.

As President Trump approaches one year back in office, the policies his administration pursues — and how those policies are communicated — have been increasingly shaped by social media.

My GTD order finally arrived!

The greatest trick the football ever pulled was making us look forward to the end of a weekend.

This is a good, measured look at Geely's attack vectors from Kevin. He nails what many reporters overlook: The software ban (and development of a parallel OS) would probably be the most difficult part. Maybe they can get Larry Ellison to domesticate their OS like TikTok?

Hey, if your despondency at the state of the world lifted slightly this Friday morning for whatever reason, read Sebastian Junger's new blog and it'll go right back down again: sebastianjunger.substack.com/p/the-future...

We need to go back.

Dammit, tech companies. The only think I need to know about your awesome AI feature is how to turn it off.

Chip off the ol' block.

Pretty sick casting. “Pike’s Peak Special” indeed.

Fun fact: the “SC” in Mustang Dark Horse SC stands for “South Carolina”, a nod to Ford Racing Director Mark Rushbrook’s deep love of the lowcountry.

Dearborn means work.

It’s taken many years and lots of therapy to be able to admit this in public, but here goes: Supercars aren’t cool. (Sorry, 8 year old me.)

Why does everybody keep texting me and asking if I was in Michigan today?

Rather a ... surprise. Kuniskis is right, of course. But I'd give him more credence if he offered an actual date, ANY date, for the #EV transition in N America. Behavior to date suggests Jeep Ram would prefer a transition in, oh, 2070 or so. Nice get by @joelfeder.bsky.social for @thedrive.com.

Free idea: command strips for bandages.

QOTD: What car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?

Somewhere in Ford there is an anonymous hero that got these wheels approved and today I toast their heroism.

This is like a CES palate cleanser.

LETS GOOOOOOO

We all we got. We all we need.

There was this space show called Andor where the oppressive government was trying to find an excuse to fire on protestors so they sent in undertrained, trigger-happy troops into a protest and then shot one of the troops and that set off a total massacre and I don’t know, just thinking about it.

Fantastic photo of a Ford Raptor T1 taken during the Dakar Rally by Marian Chytka. #photography #motorsport

Someone selling a short cab first gen Raptor on Facebook that they were using as a plow truck 😭 😭

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

What would this Dodge ad look like now?

Proper New England breakfast over here.

For all those parents who 10 years ago anguished “where will my 4chan addicted teenage son find a job when he’s grown?” Well the answer seems to be just about anywhere.

I will never understand those that rip out a masterpiece of engineering like the 3FE or 1FZ-FE and install some GM LS garbage.

Lordy “For the purpose of promoting the sound development and regulated application of artificial intelligence anthropomorphic interactive services…these Measures are formulated in accordance with the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China”

Sick little badge on my new tires. Baja baby!

Where have I seen this before? Oh right - Mayor Fisk.

More cheap sports cars please! Smaller cars in general but cheap sports cars are the way out of truck size inflation.

I just need this place to hang on until the funny thing happens, then we can all have our last virtual block party and then go home.

“Hey Ryan why aren’t you at CES?” Because tech MFers out here reinventing the Urban Sombrero.

Dam it’s hard out here for a pragmatic, nuanced, dogmatically consistent thinker.

Unless it hurts less to step on, not interested.

Deep cut.

Good morning! I hope you're all easing into being back at your desk after the holidays. Pour another mug of coffee, sip along, and read my latest ramblings up on my blog now. www.carswithrobby.blog/2026/01/the-...

Bold 2026 prediction: We will see pop-up headlights return.

Also the best looking GR86 ever?

The best looking Land Cruiser since the 80-Series.

14-3. #2 seed. LFG.
