Yesterday was one of those pinch-me days. New M5 launch had to have the whole family involved!

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that fully AI-generated but convincing viral slop like this is truly the end of social media.

Dougie finds bikes scary.

I very much appreciate that Polestar uses a Forza Motorsport 6 photo for its old race cars

Rewatching the Wire, trying to figure out which season is best, but damn if this episode isn’t still a gut punch.

This is sad. Everyone from the AB team I’ve been fortunate enough to meet has been passionate and intelligent. True examples of what it meant to be industry pros. Yet another example of parent companies not getting it (and thinking AI is the answer).

@jar_rosenholtz I’d argue the S60 is up there. Might be a little plain against the Genny but will age very well.

Look what they took from us

Labrīt!

Easily the least-expected spot in Iceland

Bonjour Montréal!

Wanted to like the Blazer EV, but in our week together it: - had multiple interior rattles - emergency stopped three times while parallel parking - sounded the RCTA at right turns when cars were behind - activated the opposing signal after around 25% of turns Ooof.

Mercedes-Benz Canada going for some sort of additional fees record:

SUVs dodging around simple manhole covers is the same energy as dudes with 2A gun shirts wearing those little neck pillows on two-hour flights and no I won’t explain further.

Hunted some land. Cruised some trails. Wait a minute… An incredible week exploring vast parts of Alberta and BC in two new Toyota off-roaders. Hundreds of images and a video incoming, but here are a few early faves.

With less than 5% of the Science Centre roof in need of repairs, the architecture firm that designed the building says a full closure is unnecessary & rash. They are offering to pay for the fixes themselves, in order to keep it open. Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/06/…
