On Tuesday, we drive roadsters to work. @proffitt_like_its_hot bought a beautiful Toyota MR2. I’ve not driven my car in a month or so, so it was nice to stretch its legs a bit. instagram.com/p/Cl2A1sXpmMb/…

What if I told you that most people on Twitter are close-knit tribes of like-minded people? And that other platforms exist for those people to communicate. We’re all going to be all right. – at Frisco, TX

Serious question: If one needs liability insurance to drive a car in the U.S., why is liability insurance for gun ownership not mandatory? – at Frisco, TX

It is worth mentioning that Sketchers in Manhattan Beach is like an hour to an hour and a half away from where he lives in Calabasas. That’s a long way to drive for rejection. – at Frisco, TX

After Adidas dropped Kanye West, he showed up today at the LA office of another shoe company, unannounced and uninvited, with a film crew. He was escorted out. The company was Skechers. Yes, this really happened.

Recommendations for insurance carriers for two cars that carry a combined age of 67 years? I don’t know if @AAATexas insurance is right for them anymore. – at Frisco, TX

St. Louis high school: •Locked doors✅ •7 Armed guards✅ •Metal detectors✅ •Shooting drill training✅ ALL that failed to prevent child injury & death or teacher injury & death. It still took 14 minutes to stop the terrorist—& only b/c his gun jammed. He had 360 MORE rounds

Two thoughts: 1) I reflect about the amount of money I didn’t have to spend on haircuts during the height of the pandemic. 2) I just saw Rivian Amazon cargo vans. In Texas. That’s neat. – at Frisco, TX

Give me your hottest motorsports take.
No doubt both of these venerable off-roaders can go pretty much anywhere, but my question is: Does Mercedes offer a rough terrain tire from the factory on anything but the Squared model?

My first car was a 110-hp, AWD Subaru that hit 60 mph in 12.5 seconds and smoked like it was ready to announce a new pope. It’s a wonder I survived my teenage years. – at Frisco, TX

I’m going to be honest: I have never seen an episode of Dallas but loved this museum tour. It was a lot of fun.

It’s going to take some time with customers to help figure out what they actually need, but I’m a huge fan of the fact that @MotorTrend and @EdLoh are on board with making in-vehicle technology discussions mainstream and normal. See Roshana’s panel host below. – at Frisco, TX
