When I was 5 I wanted to be a car designer, when I was 6 I told myself I was terrible at art, so here we are, perennial automotive product strategist. Opinions here are solely my own

Saw Kia offering EV lessees an incentive to get them to buyout their car rather than turn it in. Presumably the market value was way under the residual. Wonder if they didn’t have residual value insurance coverage… my wife would keep her EQE SUV but value is like $30k under residual.. #weirdcarBS

What in the Flock camera fodder is this?! Is that an…. 09 expiration?! Thought this was an old Michigan plate at first. Plate predates the damn car #carspotter #weirdcarBS

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a picture of a boat you like.

Jaguar Type 01 Hot Take. It’s a Fisker Karma 2.0 (yes even the Fisker Karma is on its own what, 3.0, as the Karma Revero?) Ultra design directed vehicle, low slung sedan and heavily impacted interior space and overall usability with absurdly high price tag. But half the price of Celestiq at least?

Not as lustworthy as the S5, but I feel like these have aged decently well design-wise. And still with a burbly naturally aspirated V8. #carspotter #weirdcarBS

My wife, “What’s so special about that?” Me: “The Mazda6 came in three distinct bodystyles for that generation! How in hell did they justify the development and tooling across all those? The wiper is a dead giveaway for the hatchback vs the sedan” My wife, “……..” #weirdcarBS #carspotter

Flight attendants need a new explanation for how to load overhead bins. It’s quite apparent that many people have never put a book on a bookshelf.

Blessed with yet another Tundra Reg Cab sighting. This was the 2nd one today, but couldn’t snag the first one. #weirdcarBS #carspotter

I remember getting ready to start my freshman year at college when the country and world got rocked. Sad of the fear, and fear mongering, that continues to exist quite openly in the world 25 years later. Looking for the helpers, looking for the people who can unite rather than deepen the divide.
