The worst car is... any of these memorably bad ones.
Toledo with 335k kms, horrible shitbox.
CH-R, you all know how much I hated that.
GLB Merc with a sticking A/C compressor, die today.
iD.4... the best thing I can say is that it has a good turning radius, turn back the fuck around to your hole, B.

Well.. out of it all, I drove 204 cars this year including some very dreary stuff.
The best car I drove in 2025 was a 1 liter Fiat Panda hybrid, in yellow. Nothing came close to the smiles and happiness I got out of simply being around it that I will consider one in the future, to own.

Year end review time? I think so--hasta la vista, 2025. 🧵
I don't think any other year humbled me and crushed me as much as any other has so far so... I think you might wanna hear how it went down. The few ups I had were here but there were so many lows, the only way is up.

I don't feel at all but I do think this is a good point I need to make about my year-end review

Here's a real SWB at Lime Rock. It's a local car. The little blue car to the right is my racing Austin A35.
One of our regular racers has a 250 Interim Berlinetta (red/white car) which is a similar car. He drove it home from a race one time and I tried to stay with him in my MX5. No chance!

First time I've had a video taken down anywhere, TikTok decided an EP3 type R having its bumper flopping around on a racetrack is a violation of the community guidelines. I'm pretty amazed--never had this happen anywhere else!

Literally just saw a TikTok of people warning a girl off from buying a RAV4 hybrid because it’s “more expensive to repair”
Repair WHAT? The most reliable hybrid system on the market???? With less maintenance??? And 100k mile warranty on the battery???

I have always enjoyed the automotive drawings of Norman Thelwell (British, 1923-2004).
Especially since he focused on English cars.
Some of his work was seen in Classic & Sports Car magazine, Punch magazine and others.

This 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 was fitted with widened fiberglass fenders as part of a build completed under previous ownership around 20 years ago. It's listed now in Florence, Italy, on BaT!

What dickwad at The Drive thought it was a great idea to cut this film down and put a fresh thumbnail on it pretending it's new? Stop it. Why mess with the back catalog? Goddammit.

I just hit "ship" so... expect whatever *this* is in the new year! 😇
I did buy something from Japan for the E36. You will find out when it arrives, it's for your own good 😜
The only thing I need to note is, holy crap is the yen weak now, I was checking to see if I remembered right. Woah!

Here's my one thirsty post of mine per year: Anthony Joshua is a fine looking dude--imagine my surprise when I saw that we share the same birthday! Literally no one else I've randomly looked up was born on October 15th.
