My job is car. Former editor at Autoblog and Edmunds, current writer for many car sites. I also like Star Trek and the Toronto Blue Jays, so that’ll get sprinkled in here, too. Proudly 🇨🇦

Ah, yes. The weather report would indicate it'll be one of those LA Auto Show years where everyone is whinging about it not being 72 degrees and sunny. That includes people flying into LA and those actually from here.

“New” “Nissan” “Rogue” PHEV.
It’s a rebadged Mitsubishi. Didn’t think I’d see that again. Also, no one told the photographer that they were breaking a car photo tenant of not having a tree growing out of the car?

If there was ever one piece of evidence that proves I belong in Oregon rather than Southern California, is that when it rains, I'm much much happier.

The front of the new Telluride X-Pro looks like a sewer grate. This era of grille embigification will not be looked back upon fondly.

This thing is so cool. Manual and the best color (the one featured in The Saint). I drove the C70 convertible (it was a creaking flacid noodle 👎), but I’d love to try the coupe out. carsandbids.com/auctions/98w...

Just when I thought I was out of the woods, nope, yet another neighbor's fucking gardener shows up with the leaf blower. All this noise, exhaust and particulate matter in the air, and just for some shitty-looking lawns. Man I miss my Portland neighborhood.
You know, I try to keep the AC off and open my windows while I work from home, but it gets a little tough when every fucking neighbor has their gardeners blaring shitty gas engines from every direction.

Brian, you forgot the part where you drive into a bridge abutment because you've been pecking at a touchscreen for 3 minutes.

I love that current #BlueJays PA announcer Tim Langdon announced Joe Carter and Devon White exactly how old PA announcer Murray Eldon used to do it. Awesome.

The last time the #BlueJays played a World Series game 6, I was there. I was also 10. And they won. Watching from (very) afar 32 years later, but hoping the rest of history repeats itself.

I'm now a tri-national automotive journalist. So very cool to see my byline at Auto Express. As for the car, the RAV4 GR Sport may be new to the U.S., but there was a last-gen one in the U.K. It didn't come close to the new one's chassis enhancements, though. www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/rav4/...

The all-new Toyota RAV4 SUV is an improvement over the model it replaces, but still falls short in some areas

Barring some Game 7 drama, Trey Yesavage’s mind-boggling 2025 is over.
It began with a pro debut vs. MIA’s Single-A team. He went 3.2 IP in front of a crowd of 327.
It ends with the rookie striking out 12 over 7 innings in Game 5 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium.

This is such a gloriously detailed telling of a delightfully parsnickety chapter of #BlueJays history. Worth a read during commercials my fellow fans.
The Toronto Blue Jays' white-panel cap went from "bad luck" in 1993 to part of a season-saving switch in 2025. Read the full story: news.sportslogos.net/2025/10/29/t...

The Blue Jays White-Panel Cap Reversing Its “Bad Luck” Reputation from 1993
During their World Championship run in 1993 the Blue Jays suddenly decided their white-panel caps were bad luck. Thirty-two years later, it seems the tables have turned.
