Spotted this little gem at my doctor’s office yesterday.

I consciously try and drive her Leaf whenever it’s not being used just to lower my carbon footprint, and I still can’t get anywhere near her efficiency best. I’ll take north of 4 mi/kWh though!

While I missed the boat on taking advantage of any kind of tax credit/rebate for purchasing...I did apply and get approved for a pilot program offered by our local energy provider here in Wisconsin. Up to 400 kWh monthly can be credited at a rate of $0.04 kWh during non-peak charging (12am to 8am).

THIS is what America needs right now.

And because Bluesky's link preview feature still is a hot mess:

Just bring in C-dog and let him get to work.

It’s hard to go from waking up to a scene like this…to then hours later sitting at your desk sifting through your work email inbox. Gorgeous (but brutally hot) 12.5 miles of backpacking along Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail in the Kettle Moraine State Forest.

RIP Big D. Also square headlights for the win.

My long holiday weekend mornings are precious.

Zoom-zoom.

Alrighty folks, now that we know the official pricing and some specs about Slate Auto's new Truck, I have a few quick, off-the-cuff takes...most of them good! I've been getting lots of questions and requests for comments on this, so scroll away: (Remember, I'm a shameless optimist in life)

Bold pitch, Josh, bold pitch.

Vehicle design is my passion

Thinking about the sixth-gen Nissan Maxima's coin slot sunroof today...

This is America.

Peep the fine print. Love seeing credit card companies include language like this.

One thing that makes my beloved 2004 Mazda RX-8 such a great sports car? It’s so usable! Last weekend for our trip to Road America, I was able to easily stow my dad’s bulky walker in the backseat, easy access via the rear half doors.

📊Time for data! One of the many AutoPacific research projects I have on my plate right now is a deep look at what goes through a consumer's head when buying replacement tires. Surveyed current EV owners spent ~$286 per tire (~$1,144 for four) compared ~$204 per tire by owners of other powertrains.

Needless to say conditions here in Wisconsin are gonna be very spicy the next 48 hours.

Update from this past weekend: did long roof maintanence things with the new Interstate battery I scooped up from Costco that was wayyyy cheaper to buy than one sourced from a chain auto parts store.

Whew…you guys thank goodness I took out a $1,000-per-month loan on a new full-size pickup truck for my Sunday trips to Menards…

That’s no swarm of angry bees…that’s the Spec Miata class.

10/10 would recommend bringing your dad to the track to watch race cars. Glorious day of SCCA shenanigans at Road America.

Speaking of Costco things…currently on the floor near the exit. Yours for a discounted $67,111.

Essential cards for aging into your late 30s:

Bryce is a happy 39-year-old with his first Vette.

A close friend of mine just bought (for a steal of a deal) a *clean* C5 Z06 and I’m insanely envious. Red, red leather, three pedals. That lobe from its upgraded cam literally also shakes the planet.
