My job is car. Former editor at Autoblog and Edmunds, current writer for many car sites. I also like Star Trek and the Toronto Blue Jays, so that’ll get sprinkled in here, too. Proudly 🇨🇦

As if yet another WNBA name that's a non-pluralized abstract concept wasn't bad enough, this non-pluralized abstract concept shares its name with a crappy old Ford that I can't help but think about every time I read it. Multiple aunts and uncles owned Toronto Tempos and they were shit.
This morning, the WNBA's Toronto Tempo unveiled its first uniform set for 2026. The maroon and white jerseys feature six speed lines down the sides, the team name across the chest trimmed in blue, and italic numbers.

If it didn't, I just don't know what would be in the Gold aisle at Hertz.

If they just paid their chief executive more, this all could’ve been avoided.

This seems so cruel to fans in Quebec. I'd be shocked if many switched their allegiance to Colorado (or at least sustained it after 30 years), so wearing Nordiques unis in MTL just seems like pointlessly reopening an old wound.

Julie Andrews’ Christmas special came on and my son asks, “Is that Jamaica?”

His geography needs work.

Glad Star Trek now exists in LEGO form so I can do dumb things such as recreate scenes like this. #iykyk #definitelyfuckedaghost #subrosa

Ross Atkins seems to be trying to get his Christmas shopping done early this year. #BlueJays
Blue Jays are in agreement with Cody Ponce on a deal that further augments their rotation per sources.

@ken-rosenthal.bsky.social was first & Passan says the deal is for $30 million over three years

Hatchbacks usually have greater cargo volumes than comparable sedans, but I've found that the difference in terms of usable, real-world space is not as great as the numbers suggest. The Audi A6 E-Tron bucks that trend. It's as big as the numbers suggest. www.edmunds.com/car-news/aud...

Lieutenant, why the hell is the start button in the middle of the bridge’s floor?

The new Audi Q5 turns out to be a cargo-carrying all-star in the compact luxury SUV segment. It's bigger and more useful than before, but retains the sliding back seat to expand the space even further. My @edmunds.com cargo test is up here: www.edmunds.com/car-news/aud...

LAX runways going in the opposite direction today and, as always, it’s WEIRD! Cathay Pacific 747 taking off over the 405.

There is so little happening at the LA Auto Show today, why the hell were the Kia and Hyundai press conferences scheduled with only a 10-minute gap when they’re in different halls???

Drove a box.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is this week's Cargo Test @edmunds.com. It's a weird cargo area. Full story: www.edmunds.com/car-news/hyu...

Ah, yes. The weather report would indicate it'll be one of those LA Auto Show years where everyone is whinging about it not being 72 degrees and sunny. That includes people flying into LA and those actually from here.

“New” “Nissan” “Rogue” PHEV.

It’s a rebadged Mitsubishi. Didn’t think I’d see that again. Also, no one told the photographer that they were breaking a car photo tenant of not having a tree growing out of the car?
