Image
On my way back home from the Indianapolis 500, my first plane was already late to arrive, which had sliced a good 15 minutes off my already tight connection time in Chicago. A few people seemed to get the memo that perhaps it would be a good idea to pick up the pace and board quickly. But not one man. Oh, no. Not the… Read more... source https://jalopnik.com/its-time-to-get-rid-of-overhead-bin-space-on-airplanes-1848996088

Image
Land Rover has finally entered the three row, eight-passenger SUV game. Yea, I know, there’s a three-row Discovery, but it’s limited with its 5+2 seating arrangement, and that third row is only useable if you’re a kid. So, Land Rover upped the Defender’s game to make it the brand’s people hauler. Read more... source https://jalopnik.com/the-all-new-2023-land-rover-defender-130-will-start-at-1848995536

This week I ran into a rather baffling scenario . Police knocked on my door because an anonymous person had reported a couple of my vehicles stolen.

Guy From Monaco Says F1 Without Monaco Is Not F1

It may be a parade more often than a competitive race, but the Monaco Grand Prix is intrinsically linked with Formula 1 .
