Stuntman Stan Barrett’s Paul Newman-gifted Rolexes are heading to auction. @BasemWasef chatted with Barrett about what makes them so special: https://t.co/Hr64L2mq9P

Great run up the mountain @itskyleconner!
Out again in the M3 Comp for more canyon therapy before going back to CO tomorrow. Fun running with @BasemWasef in the M4 CSL. Great days at work! 🚙💨

I was just thrilled I got the green one...
How come @BasemWasef gets all the nice toys to play with?

This decades-old Mercedes turned out to need a huge dose of maintenance, but that didn’t deter @BasemWasef from buying another one almost immediately.

Top down/doors up reveals just how scant the @McLarenAuto 765LT Spider’s carbon structure really is. God bless the engineers. #mclaren

This.
I’m so done with people that think they’re cooler or better than others because they give off the appearance that they don’t care about anything. Being passionate is one of the best, and most human, things we do as people. It’s beautiful and I absolutely love it.

As curmudgeonly and arcane as PJ O’Rourke was, his loss— like David E. Davis’— marks the end of a foundational era in automotive writing.

Bravo on the endless rollout of new features @instagram @mosseri @instagramcomms, but how/why is there zero customer service? Been hacked for weeks with dozens of video selfies rejected— never spoken to one human being. A $100B company with zero customer support.

Meanwhile, in LA…
Some joker opened the driver-side door to vomit…while driving…in the No. 1 lane on the WB 91FWY west of Valley View. The Rams celebration continues.

I've been hacked and locked out of @instagram for nearly a week and submitted 12 video selfies to no avail, with zero customer service. @mosseri & @kevin, how do I get my account back?

Adventuring in a Defender circa Feb '20 in Namibia, right before the stuff hit the fan— my vid shared by @NACTOY takes me back. At least cars are (sort of) still an escape. #longlivethecar
The Defender 110 is available with 5+2 seating in four distinct Accessory Packs with 170 individual accessories. Learn more with NACTOY Juror @BasemWasef "The opinions expressed here are those of individual NACTOY jurors, not those of NACTOY officials nor of the jury as a whole.”

Bentley’s announcement of an all-electrified fleet by 2026 and all-BEV lineup by 2030 begs the question: Will the hybrid era mark the apotheosis of horsepower and pure EVs trigger the golden age of torque?

One recent unexpected milestone with the 9 year-old: When he started humming the refrain to “More Than This” under his breath. #roxykid #beatsthewheelsonthebusgoroundandround
