The 296 hp Land Rover Defender 130 displayed plenty of off-road acumen, but the digital interface left us longing for a few more analog touches.

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! 🚙💨

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. thedrive.com/guides-and-gear…

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

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.

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.

“The last time I saw Dr. Dre was in a #KehindeWiley painting” - Wife, keeping it real during #SuperBowlLVI halftime.
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

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
