They're back! All the luggage from my garage has found a new home @edmunds where it'll be stuffed into every test car that comes my way. First up, the Chevy Trax. edmunds.com/car-news/chevr…

14 years is enough. I am now parked. Find me @ jriz.bsky.social or @ jamesriswick on the Insta.

People using a speakerphone in public, at an airport, holding it up to their face … Fuck the fuck off.

Are you still 20 years old if you were dead for six years?

Kia EVs clearly make a distinct sound when slowing down, because my dog knows exactly what it sounds like when my wife is approaching our house in her Niro EV … or when an EV6 GT is about to be delivered out front. We’ll see how she responds to the en route Genesis GV60

Farewell to luggage tests.

@adamber99 I haven't been doing this *quite* that long, but thanks nevertheless! I shall continue, just TBD where at this point.

@jriswick I missed that. Sorry to hear it. Been reading your work for over 20 yrs.

Mini makes its Luggage Test debut in what will be the penultimate Luggage Test.

@adamber99 Autoblog as you know it will be no more after Sept 13. All editors gone. Should be able to find the story on The Autopian.

@jriswick Why will the next luggage test be the last?

@stevenewing Was that an OG press car? Cause I remember the Black we had at IL and it was red like that.

The XM I would consider buying. Also the one I think of whenever someone says "an XM" bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-c…

Drive car off cliff. Article written. Moving on.

Really looking forward to Alien: Romulus.

Why yes, I did just Google “do horses win Olympic medals?” The answer is they don’t. And that’s bullshit. No, wait, horseshit.

Part 2 of my GX to Oregon road test/trip focuses on its gear-hauling abilities (the accessory rack, using the hitch for a bike, the invaluable glass hatch and the interior in general). @Lexus

@HicksCharl58583 Um, no.

@jriswick Ugh, this road trip is already going down the drain - the bike rack's gonna mess up the car's gas mileage and now we gotta deal with some kayak that's probably gonna leak all over the cargo area. This vacation is shaping up to be a total disaster...

Road trip! Rack in the hitch for a bike, rack on the roof for a kayak, cargo area packed with gear. Engage! autoblog.com/article/lexus-…

A few extra pics from the trip to Bend.

Taken by my mom in Toronto. She said it was driven by a woman with a crazy updo and a man with a face tattoo. Seemed lost.
