A very brown 1926 Bentley 3-Liter Super Sports Boattail was on hand for the reveal of the new Continental GT Supersports.

The latest Bentley Continental GT Supersports is the most hardcore yet. RWD, no back seats, and some aero addenda. Just 500 will be built

I'm a big fan of the standard Cadillac Lyriq because it does old school luxury well and doesn't try to be sporty. So I'm, to say the least, curious about what the Lyriq-V has to offer.

PORTLAND: come on down to the Tesla store this Saturday for the #NoTrillionaires national day of action! I'll be there from 11am to 1pm, with music and bubbles and sign-making supplies. Bring friends and family, and remind our neighbors their Tesla funds fascism! actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

Winter has arrived.

I’m really excited about the NYC Ferry route optimization plan announced today, which will go into effect next month. The new network (1st image) will provide direct connections from Queens to the Bronx and Staten Island to Brooklyn, and it will help alleviate crowding on the E. River. Thoughts?

The grudge match I didn't know I wanted.

To wrap up Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Day, here’s a couple of my relevant photos: 2013: looking east across the big lake they call Gitche Gumee from Canal Park in Duluth 2016: “in a musty old hall in Detroit, they prayed / at the Maritime Sailor’s Cathedral”

They lost their retirement savings on Trump’s crypto and NFTs. They blame Democrats.

Shockingly, Honda is looking less committed to U.S.-market EVs—for the next few years, at least.

Inspired by @photojdl.bsky.social, today's aviation photo of the day is this Martinair MD-11. Built for the airline in 1995, sold to FedEx for parts in 2016. See here on its weekly visit to @flysea.bsky.social back in 2011.

I took a 400+ mile powerhouse out to a different powerhouse: Bonneville Dam! The 2026 Lucid Air Touring gets new cells (and more range), HVAC upgrades from Gravity, and hands-free highway driving that's smooth enough for motion-sensitive passengers. Best big American electric sedan? Check, mate.

Boeing recommends MD-11s suspend operations “while additional engineering analysis is performed,” as the investigation into the crash of #5X2976 continues. The recommendation affects 54 active MD-11s across 3 airlines. www.flightradar24.com/blog/aviatio...

Per recent confirmation via Sony Honda Mobility...its Afeela 1 sedan is *still* on track to go on sale in 2026.

He should try NASCAR.

Next week is the 50th anniversary of the Midwestern Titanic.

Since Ed Bastian commented that he’s looking forward to the loosened regulatory environment under Trump, he had a plane land on its roof in Toronto and is losing a big chunk of his flights during the busiest time of year.

During last week's trip to Japan, I visited the Honda proving grounds and drove some cool stuff. Details @slashgear.bsky.social here:

So if a 1.5% popular vote margin is a "mandate", what's this?

Forgot to post earlier, but I also saw this running around Tokyo.

This is why I no longer need an alarm clock.

We won our lawsuit against the federal government for trying to force states to comply with its immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for transportation. This is a major victory to protect our communities and vital infrastructure.

Selfishly hoping this means I'll be able to get a good deal on a WRX.

There's a lot to like about the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, as long as you're not a driving enthusiast. Thoughts here:

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments? Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

I was expecting a different automotive landscape in Japan, but didn't realize how much of it is made up of vans and van-like vehicles.

I can't remember the last time I saw one of these - never mind one this nice. The interior was pristine. In that era Nissan really underestimated how well its JDM luxury models would do over here. I also understand the need for the weird font on the "I", but I still think it looks dumb. #weirdcarbs
