I let Rio decide on what kind of tree we have every year, and she went for a light tree this time. Turned out pretty decent!

The first time McLaren ever scored a point in F1 was with a Serenissima engine. Serenissima was a direct result of the Ferrari "palace revolt." Ferrari wouldn't be Ferrari if Enzo hadn't bought the Lancia F1 team when Lancia was broke af for about the 27th time.
You're welcome, England.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

I can not adequately describe the constant exhaustion of over a decade of hearing people say Fiats are fragile. And I am on the young side of the Fiat spectrum, I know dudes who have put up with this since the 70s...
surprised there isn't a single major competitor to the fiat 500 from a company that knows how to make a car that doesn't fall apart in a light breeze.

Could someone please explain how my feet can be super comfy cozy in wool socks all day, but then as soon as I take off said socks, they get mega itchy?

I was reading about allotment gardening when I realized I practice resentment gardening. I don't like gardening, but I demand the plants on my property provide me food in exchange for being allowed to exist. Fuck you, feed me.

Today marked the start of "drive customer sports cars in chunky Docs season." Naturally, this began with a 911 with an extremely messed up clutch. Didn't stall it, but my soul did briefly evacuate my body

Read a thing about how sheer dressing is on trend, and I can't help but think about the MULTIPLE pairs of sheer mesh pants I've owned in the last 20 years. Like, that's just standard summer/vacation attire for me...

I don't generally discuss my clients publicly, but one is a former Starbucks exec* and uh, yeah, go buy a coffee from a local place where the owner has just one or two nice cars...

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.
