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 🇨🇦
Gave our backyard’s squirrels a gift.

There's also some Megane in there, with the rear quarter haunches and liftgate shape. Love it.

New Blues at home, no white panel? What the hell are they doing? Screw it, I’m staying consistent. #BlueJays

The #BlueJays will never actually wear this hat in the World Series, but at least I got this before it ended.

That said, gotta match…

In 1992, before game 3 of the World Series, the Marines carried the flag of Canada and the Mounties carried the US flag. It was b/c the Marines carried the 🇨🇦 upside down in Atlanta days before, but still, a lovely scene. Guessing we won’t be seeing such a scene tonight. #BlueJays

Ooooh, and how about this little beauty?!?

I’m going to miss this masterpiece, the 26 Porsche 911 Carrera T. So will my son. It was quite the family hauler.

I know this Bronco has an actual special edition name, but I’m calling it the Tequila Sunrise anyway.

If you read just one Mustang GTD story, read Kurt's! It's quite good. Or, if you've already read a GTD story, read another! And have it be Kurt's! www.edmunds.com/car-news/202...

"Does it even matter if you can fit enough luggage for seven people if three of those passengers can't actually get into the vehicle?" The Cadillac Escalade IQ's cargo test triumph sullied by deeply flawed Executive Second Row package: www.edmunds.com/car-news/cad...

Who OK’d this corrugated dash trim in the Cadillac Vistiq? It’s directly hidden from all inside the cabin behind the jumbo display, yet always reflects into the windshield. It’s as if that was the sole point. What were they thinking???

Automotive "first loves." How much did your first car (or at least the first car you actually liked) influence your automotive tastes? Do you always keep going back to the same general thing, if not literal thing?

This iX3 wheel is bonkers. And look at all of those touch-sensitive buttons. I’m sure everyone will love them and there will be no complaints.

It’s now been 6 weeks since a softball-sized chunk of concrete smashed our Optiq’s windshield at 75 mph. There’s glass inside. Was told 5 weeks ago by Cadillac dealer there were 12 windshields in stock. Their go-to glass shop is still waiting for it with no updates. Optiq remains in garage

Who wore the color better? I wonder if BMW also color sampled a hearing aid. www.edmunds.com/car-news/bmw...

Curb weight of Cadillac Escalade IQ I have this week: 9,134 pounds

Curb weight of Cadillac Optiq AND 2013 Mercedes E350 Wagon I have every week: 9,405 pounds

Optiq + Z3 is less. Crazeballs.

#MLBReallignment by me. Maintains current AL/NL teams, no switching, 1 time zone diff max for only 2-4 teams, adds/renews some geographic rivals (PIT & PHI; TOR, DET & CLE), puts Texas teams with others in central time, gets COL away from NL West (owner should love that). What say you?

It’s been hard to. Softball-sized rock/concrete chunk smashed into it at 75 mph when I was en route to the DMV for plates. Been parked for safety for 3+ weeks. So much force, there was glass in the car.

Toronto’s new WNBA team will be the Toronto Tempo. That’s terrible. Mostly because I can only think of this when I hear it …

Trains! The California Railroad Museum in Sacramento is awesome. Old town Sac in general is really impressive. No idea this was here.

The #Ford Bronco Sport is a cargo-hauling all-star. Both in terms of capacity and its many thoughtful cargo and storage features. Latest Cargo Test

Canadian wearing Teddy Roosevelt hat with Mexican flags in it and American flag in the background, but John Wayne instead of stars.
