Most people hear "buy the best meat you can afford" and immediately picture the $30 pasture-raised ribeye at Whole Foods — and then conclude that eating well is simply out of reach. But that's not a fair test of what quality meat actually costs. Ribeye is the most expensive cut at the highest tier, and comparing it to cheap conventional ground beef is like comparing a BMW to a used Corolla and deciding all cars are unaffordable. The more useful question is what "good enough" looks like across different categories of meat, because the answer isn't the same for beef as it is for pork or poultry. In this episode, I lay out a tiered framework you can use when buying meat, explain why I draw a hard line at industrial pork and poultry (even though I'm more forgiving about conventional beef), and share my honest reaction to a specific product launch that put the whole question in sharp relief. On the beef side, the tiers are fairly forgiving. Grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef from a local regenerative farm often runs around $10 a pound — and you can find it cheaper than that at Aldi or Walmart. That's not far from conventional at all, and it's where most families actually spend their beef budget anyway. The $30 ribeye is real, but it's also not the only option in the category. Pork and poultry are a harder conversation. Roughly 93% of US pigs are raised in factory farms where pregnant sows spend most of their adult lives in gestation crates too narrow to turn around in, standing on concrete under artificial light. Beyond the animal welfare problem, pigs and chickens are monogastric animals — unlike cattle, they don't have the ruminant digestive system that buffers against poor feed inputs. Whatever is in their feed shows up directly in the meat and fat, including pesticide residues, soy isoflavones, and rendered animal byproducts that are still legally used in US monogastric feed. That's a problem conventional beef simply doesn't have to the same degree. Carnivore Bar recently reached out to introduce me to a new lower-cost version of their product called the Everyday Bar, priced at around $5 versus their original $16 bar. The catch is that it uses grain-finished beef. My gut reaction was to say "no," but after sitting with it for a few days, I settled on a more pragmatic: if the choice is between this and a conventional protein bar packed with lab-derived ingredients, the Everyday Bar wins.  Grain-finished beef is still significantly better than industrial pork, industrial poultry, or anything plant-based. But if you can afford the original, that's the one I'd buy. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Carnivore Bar! Carnivore Bar makes some of the highest quality meat bars I've ever had — grass-fed, grass-finished beef, tallow, and salt. No fillers, no seed oils, no nonsense. I've been eating them for a while now, and the Apple Pie flavor is still my go-to when I need something portable and actually satiating. If you're looking for a real food snack that travels well and doesn't compromise on ingredients, I encourage you to give Carnivore Bar a try.

What if one proven methodology could turn B2B market share from stagnant to soaring, with a track record of guaranteed growth, yet almost no U.S. company has heard of it? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, we speak with Hugo Van Den Biggelaar, a former Nike brand strategist turned evangelist for Bitsing, a 33-year-old European methodology that has fueled BMW, Shell, HP Enterprise, and thousands of organizations, with no failures on record. Hugo, now based in Brooklyn, New York, challenges core assumptions about B2B growth. He says most companies aren't failing because they do the wrong things, but because they do the right things in the wrong order and at the wrong time. What is the hidden sequence behind sustained revenue, and why is “brand awareness” sometimes a death trap? Hugo reveals why even the most successful B2B teams often aim at the wrong goals, how to build a “golden egg” competitors can't copy, and why emotional preference, not rational decision-making, drives billion-dollar deals. Why your growth efforts stall or how sales, marketing, and product can actually align, this conversation will leave you rethinking everything you know about predictable B2B success. Some topics we explore in this episode include: The Bitsing Methodology: Origins, proven track record, and impact on companies worldwideRight Actions, Wrong Sequence: How companies undermine growth by doing the right things in the wrong orderFinancial Goal Setting: The necessity of clear financial (not just KPI) goals: continuity, ambition, and dreamOrganizational Alignment: The need for unified goals and eliminating departmental silosThe Seven Principles/Steps: The stepwise framework that drives predictable growthData-Driven Focus: The Pencil Method: Using facts (not gut) to determine where revenue actually comes fromThe Golden Egg: Emotional Differentiation: Creating an emotional, uncopyable reason for customers to choose your brandStrategies vs. Goals: The common mistake of confusing means with ends 17:12.Driving Preference and Loyalty: Preference as the key to growth and how to create genuine, unconditional loyaltyPlan Execution & Guaranteed Results: The phases of implementation and what “guaranteed growth” means with Bitsing

This week I sat down with Zack Klapman, co-host of The Smoking Tire and the man behind the Hilarious car-nerd game show Driver's Test, to map the whole restomod world for anyone who's new to it. We get into what these cars actually are, what they cost, and whether a one and a half million dollar Porsche can possibly be worth the money. From there we wander, the way these talks do, into the Lexus LFA, the Audi R8, hydraulic versus electric steering, why modern engines keep grenading, and the most useful thing Zack said all night: power gets boring, and the base model is usually the smarter buy. If you've heard me preach that on this channel, you'll like where this one goes.Zack has driven the stuff most of us only get to read about, and he talks about it like a normal person, which is the whole point of this show.Also: Check out The Smoking Tire Live Show with the amazing Christian Hand!!!https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-smoking-tire-podcast-christian-james-hand-tickets-1991203255539Chapters 0:00 Meet Zack Klapman 1:13 Why restomods, and who this episode is for 2:19 What a restomod actually is 4:36 Why a Singer or Gunther Werks isn't really a restomod 5:40 Singer's ethos vs Gunther Werks' ethos 7:34 What these cars actually cost 8:14 Is a 1.5 million dollar Porsche worth it 11:00 Driving a Singer, and the Lexus LFA comparison 14:40 The supercar the market never understood 16:46 The LC500, the R8, and great cars that stayed cheap 22:14 Hydraulic vs EPAS, and why "old is always better" is lazy 25:12 Porsche curmudgeon culture 28:08 Why modern engines keep breaking 32:00 The walnut blasting BMW story 35:01 What it's like to drive a million dollar car 37:20 Getting jaded, and Jay Leno's rule 39:49 The perfect horsepower number 42:18 Why the base model is usually the smart buy 45:49 The one Porsche Zack would actually buy 49:36 Is the Porsche market finally softening 51:00 Go watch Driver's TestFind Zack: Driver's Test: https://www.youtube.com/@ZackKlapmansDriversTest The Smoking Tire: youtube.com/thesmokingtire Instagram: instagram.com/therealzackklapmanElevenAfterNine: Main Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNine Instagram: instagram.com/TheElevenAfterNine Web: www.ElevenAfterNine.com Hosted on Acast.

This Day in Legal History: The End of Roosevelt's Hundred DaysOn this day in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt signed three pieces of legislation that closed out what the country has been calling the Hundred Days ever since: the Banking Act of 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act, and the Farm Credit Act, with the Home Owners' Loan Act having been signed three days earlier. The Banking Act of 1933 is the one most lawyers know, because the popular name attached to it — Glass-Steagall — has been doing rhetorical work in financial-regulation debates for ninety-three years.Carter Glass of Virginia and Henry Steagall of Alabama, the Senate Banking chair and the House Banking chair respectively, built the statute around two structural propositions: that commercial banks should be separated from investment banking and the speculative securities business that had helped pull the country into the Great Depression, and that depositors at member banks should be protected by a federal deposit insurance scheme so that a panic at one bank did not become a panic everywhere.The deposit insurance piece became the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The separation piece was the part that got partially repealed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999 and then revisited in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The National Industrial Recovery Act, signed the same day, set up the National Recovery Administration and the Public Works Administration and was meant to coordinate industry-wide codes of fair competition; the Supreme Court struck the centerpiece codes provision down two years later in A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States in 1935 on nondelegation and Commerce Clause grounds, an opinion that nearly killed the early New Deal and prompted Roosevelt's court-packing plan two years after that. The Farm Credit Act consolidated and refinanced the agricultural lending system that the Great Depression had taken to the brink.The legal point worth remembering is that this last day of the Hundred Days was, in retrospect, the moment the federal regulatory state of the twentieth century stopped being a collection of post-Civil-War commissions and started being the integrated structure of agencies, deposit-insurance funds, securities oversight, labor regulation, and welfare administration that the country has lived inside ever since. The fact that the Schechter Court was waiting in the wings to strike down the most ambitious piece of that day's work is part of the lesson. The constitutional question of how much economic ordering a Congress and a President can do at once was not answered on June 16, 1933 — it was framed.The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up E.D. v. Noblesville School District, a free-speech challenge brought by the parents of an Indiana high-school student whose school district had refused to let her post flyers for her student-run anti-abortion club on classroom and hallway walls. The student, identified in court papers by initials because she was a minor when the case was filed, had been the founder of Noblesville High School's Students for Life chapter. The flyers she wanted posted featured images of demonstrators holding “Defund Planned Parenthood” signs. Noblesville Schools removed the flyers under a district policy giving administrators content-based authority over student materials displayed on school property, and the parents sued under the First Amendment.The Southern District of Indiana sided with the district in 2024, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed in 2025, both applying Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, the 1988 case that lets public schools regulate the content of school-sponsored expressive activities if the regulation is reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns. The cert denial leaves Hazelwood intact in the Seventh Circuit and everywhere else.The piece worth flagging is Justice Alito's dissent from denial, joined by Justice Thomas, which urged the Court to grant review and use the case to revisit Hazelwood's framework. The dissent argues that Hazelwood was wrongly decided to the extent that it lets schools draw viewpoint-based lines under the cover of pedagogical-concern review, and that the doctrinal distinction Hazelwood draws between school-sponsored speech and Tinker-style independent student speech has become unworkable in the age of student clubs, distributed school messaging, and post-Mahanoy off-campus speech. Two votes are not five votes. But two votes naming a case as the vehicle they wanted are how the next decade of student-speech cases gets queued up. The Court has now told litigants what kind of vehicle it might be looking for. Expect a steady drumbeat of cert petitions teeing up the Hazelwood revisit over the next several terms.US Supreme Court turns away free speech claim by anti-abortion student | Reuters via Maryland Daily RecordThe Supreme Court also turned away on Monday the National Shooting Sports Foundation's challenge to New York's General Business Law § 898, the public-nuisance statute the New York legislature passed in 2021 to let the state and certain private plaintiffs sue firearms manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for endangering the public through the marketing and distribution of their products.The challenge was supported by Smith & Wesson, Sturm, Ruger, Beretta, Glock, and Sig Sauer, and went up on appeal from a 2024 Second Circuit decision that held the New York statute is not preempted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, the 2005 federal statute that broadly immunizes the gun industry from civil liability arising from the criminal misuse of firearms.The Second Circuit reasoned that the PLCAA's “predicate exception” — which preserves state-law claims when the firearms industry has violated a state or federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing of firearms — covers a state public-nuisance statute that, by its terms, regulates the sale and marketing of firearms. The cert denial leaves the Second Circuit's reading in place, leaves New York's statute on the books and enforceable, and leaves the industry with a litigation exposure it had hoped to neutralize.The strategic part of the case is going to be the copycat statutes. California, New Jersey, Washington, Delaware, Illinois, and Hawaii have all enacted versions of the New York approach since 2021, and other states have similar bills in committee. Each of those statutes is going to invite its own PLCAA-preemption fight in its own circuit, and the cumulative jurisprudence is going to get built case by case until either Congress amends PLCAA or the Court decides one of these cases is the right vehicle to step in. Today's denial was not that vehicle.SCOTUS Upholds NY Law Allowing Lawsuits Against Gunmakers | The Daily SignalThe third notable cert denial on Monday was the end of the road for Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. in its long-running trade-secret fight with DXC Technology — the successor in interest to Computer Sciences Corporation. TCS had asked the Court to review a Fifth Circuit decision that affirmed a $168 million judgment against it for misappropriating CSC's life-insurance-administration software trade secrets and using them to build TCS's own BaNCS platform, which TCS then used to win a $2.6 billion contract with the insurer Transamerica.The Northern District of Texas verdict, returned in 2022, had been $56 million in compensatory damages and $112 million in punitives, and the Fifth Circuit upheld the punitives ratio in 2025 over TCS's BMW v. Gore and State Farm v. Campbell challenge to the proportionality of the punitive award and over its Defend Trade Secrets Act extraterritoriality arguments. The cert petition pressed both points and pressed a circuit split on the standard for proving misappropriation by an independent contractor that had been given access to source code under a nondisclosure agreement, but the Court declined.The practical immediate effect is that TCS will recognize a roughly $70 million one-time exceptional charge in Q1 of its 2027 fiscal year and the total exposure on the matter — combining the affirmed judgment with previously taken provisions — settles in around $220 million. The broader effect is doctrinal stability. The Fifth Circuit's analysis on cross-border trade-secret damages and on the extraterritoriality limits of the DTSA stand. Both questions are going to recur, and the next vehicle that brings them up may catch the Court in a different mood, but for now the law is what the Fifth Circuit said it was.US Supreme Court rejects TCS challenge in $168 million trade secrets case | Business Standard This is a public episode.

Send us Fan MailThe automotive ERP market remains one of the most operationally complex and ecosystem-driven segments within enterprise software in 2026, making ERP selection highly dependent on business model alignment, manufacturing architecture, and supplier ecosystem participation. Automotive ERP spans organizations of all sizes, from emerging EV startups to global OEMs and multi-tier suppliers, yet the operational requirements across OEMs, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 manufacturers differ dramatically in terms of compliance, traceability, production strategies, quality management, and supply chain coordination. As a result, no single ERP platform universally fits every automotive environment. One of the most important evaluation criteria is understanding whether an organization operates in a manufacturing execution-centric model—where MES integration, plant-floor coordination, machine connectivity, and real-time production visibility dominate—or a more ERP-centric model focused on procurement orchestration, forecasting, compliance management, and financial coordination. In addition, major automotive ecosystems such as Toyota, Honda, Ford, BMW, and Tesla often impose highly specialized supplier collaboration standards, EDI frameworks, and operational protocols that shape ERP vendor alignment strategies. While these ecosystem-specific optimizations can create strong operational fit within certain automotive networks, they may also introduce challenges when organizations expand across different supplier ecosystems, making historical industry alignment and ecosystem depth critical factors during ERP evaluation.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top automotive ERP systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each ERP system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k5ObVkvPMoRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/automotive-erp-systems/Questions for Panelists?

Hello and sorry and welcome to Front End Chatter, and episode 222 of the motorcycling podcast that may (or may not) owe you an apology. That grovelling worm is Martin Fitz-Gibbons, and that recalcitrant rascal is Simon Hargreaves. Having spent several months avoiding facing up to the monster they unwittingly (in both senses) created, they're back with two hours of unrehearsed waffle about all things biking. As always they'd like to atone for their two-wheeled transgressions to Bennetts, Britain's best motorcycle insurers, represented on the interwebs by both BikeSocial (bikesocial.co.uk) and BikeClub (bikeclub.bennetts.co.uk) – between them a bewilderingly big bonanza of motorcycling news, product reviews, used bike buying guides, industry expert advice and so much more.   In this contrite (but alas not concise) episode of Britain's best biking podcast, Simon and Mufga discuss:   •     Bikes for which manufacturers owe us an apology •     Riding a Manx Norton (ah) followed by a Norton Manx R – read more in Bike magazine •     BMW's R1300RS and Moto Guzzi's V100 Mandello S – read more in Bike magazine •     Touring to Spa on BMW's ludicrous M1000XR – read more in RiDE magazine •     How 'downgrading' tyres can improve a bike's ride and handling •     What went on at the 2026 Isle of Man TT •     Every biking engine layout, what they have in common, and which is best •     Whether speed limiters ruin sports-tourers •     The glory days of grey imports, and why they died out   Thank you, one and all, for choosing to pour some Front End Chatter into your ears. Please keep sending your questions, thoughts, comments, wonderings and ponderings to anything@frontendchatter.com   Until next time – whenever that may be...

Are you like the majority of agents who know they should delegate and automate? You try to hire an assistant or implement a new AI tool, only to have it fail miserably. In the end, you spend more time fixing the mess than if you had just done it yourself in the first place. The strategy wasn't the problem. The missing piece was.In this conversation, we get into standard operating procedures and why they're the prerequisite to almost everything you're trying to add to your business right now. We unpack why most agents have procedures locked in their head but never on paper, the restaurant dishwasher analogy Garrett uses to break a business into the small chunks you can actually systematize, the "definition of done" that turns a vague task into a finished one, the BMW brake job that paid Garrett the equivalent of $1,400 an hour because he had the experience and the process, Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time and why we keep coming back to it, the trap of handing a brand new hire the job of writing their own SOP, and the SOP Builder we put together at tentenths.co/sop-builder to walk you through your first one.You already have the experience. The work is just getting it out of your head and onto paper, one process at a time. It comes down to picking one routine task you did today, sitting down with the SOP Builder, and letting it ask you the questions that unlock the procedure. Done right, your business becomes something you can hand off, automate against, and trust. And that's when hiring works, AI works, and burnout finally starts going the other direction.Process plus experience equals freedom.Join us in the 11 Circle for weekly coaching, additional resources, and full access to our online community.

CORVETTE WINS THE GT3 CLASS AND…   THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…AN INTERVIEW WITH MIKA SALO. MORE GREAT TRIVIA FROM ANDREW. George Russell Congratulations to Lewis (Hamilton). He drove a really impressive race today after being incredibly quick in Qualifying yesterday. Coming into the weekend, I don't think we expected that pace from Ferrari, so we know we've got a challenge coming from them in the races ahead. We will be working hard to tackle that challenge and get back to winning ways. On my side, the race today was not straightforward. I was struggling with the tyres towards the end of my second and third stints; the Virtual Safety Car didn't help us either and it would have been a fascinating race with Lewis without that. I will take the positives from this weekend though. It has been clean from the very start and I come away with 18 points, which is 18 points more than I managed across Canada and Monaco! We will regroup in the week ahead and look to improve for Austria. We've got a big double-header coming up with Spielberg and Silverstone and I am already excited for it. Kimi Antonelli It is very disappointing to retire from P2, but these things can happen in racing. George suffered an issue in Canada and now it's happened to me; we know our reliability is something we need to work on and I am sure the team will be pushing incredibly hard to improve that. It's more important points that we've lost but we must remember that it is the first year of these new regulations and we are all learning quickly. Congratulations to Lewis (Hamilton) on his victory today. He is a great driver and has been so much help in my career so far. I am pleased to see him up there once again as he really deserves it. I think we had the pace today to challenge him for the win, but the Virtual Safety Car came out at a bad time for us, and we didn't get to see how things would have played out. We have one week without racing before returning in Austria. We have seen our competitors take a step forward here this weekend and we will need to raise our game there if we want to fight for victory again. We will pick ourselves up, learn from this weekend, and come back stronger. MAX VERSTAPPEN - 4th "Today we just didn't have the pace to keep up with the cars ahead. I was really just doing my own race as we were a little bit behind the guys that finished in front of me. As a Team we did everything right, it was the winning strategy, so we made the right call there with the tyres. We were just too slow compared to the cars ahead on each compound, unfortunately. We tried our best and put everything into it but ultimately the whole weekend was a bit tough for us. We do struggle more with these high energy tracks with high degradation and we just need to work on things and try to find more pace in the upcoming races." ISACK HADJAR - 6th "I felt like I had good pace this weekend once we got to Qualifying and the race, but I had a shocker at the race start with so much wheelspin, so that's one aspect I really want to focus on before Red Bull Ring. We could have fought with Oscar if we had a good start, so it's a bit of a shame. I think we did way better than we thought we would this weekend given the track layout and conditions. Austria will be a better track for us, and we expect to have a stronger car. We just need to work on the starts." TOYOTA TAKE ITS SIXTH VICTORY AT LE MANS Toyota executed a perfect, textbook strategy throughout the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to claim its first victory since 2022, securing a sixth overall triumph and equalling the tally of British marque Bentley.     To spectacular fanfare, Japanese powerhouse Toyota Racing lifted the iconic trophy at a sun-kissed Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time in four years, in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators at the venue and millions more watching around the world. Drivers Kamui Kobayashi, Nyck de Vries and Mike Conway emerged as the team to beat at the end of the race, guiding the #7 Toyota to victory ahead of the sister #8 Toyota Racing entry, the #20 BMW M Team WRT and the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA machine in an epic four-way battle to the chequered flag – underlining the "Platinum Era" status that the Hypercar category is building. For Kobayashi, it was a second Le Mans victory. It marked a second triumph for British star Mike Conway and, for the first time in 38 years, a historic win for the Netherlands as Nyck de Vries became the latest Dutch driver to conquer Le Mans. It looked set to be another Toyota one-two, but BMW's never-say-die attitude ensured that the FIA World Endurance Championship points leaders – the #20 crew of Robin Frijns, René Rast and Sheldon van der Linde – claimed second overall and a valuable haul of championship points. Toyota could still be delighted with third place, although a few costly mistakes and strategy calls denied the #8 Toyota of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa another victory. Meanwhile, Cadillac can take plenty of plaudits once again. A crowd favourite throughout the week, the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA crew gave everything in pursuit of victory, and the pace they demonstrated at Le Mans suggests they will remain contenders for years to come. Inter Europol Competiton lock-out LMP2  It was a grandstand finish in LMP2 as Inter Europol Competition worked well overnight to bring both cars into the rostrum contention, but a second day charge from Forestier Racing by Panis had everyone on the edge of their seats, but after 24 hours of racing the Polish #43 ORECA with pilots Jakub Smiechowski, Tom Dillmann and Nicholas Yelloly win the penultimate race at Le Mans for this specification LMP2 car! Corvette charge back to the top! Corvette capture the magic of Le Mans once again with iconic yellow #33 Corvette run by TF Sport took LMGT3 laurels with Ben Keating, Jonny Edgar, Nicky Catsburg taking a popular leap onto the top step of the podium. Akkodis ASP Team put Lexus on the podium for the first time at Le Mans with the #78 car second and the #23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin joins in the celebrations in third.

Das Verbundprojekt STADT:up hat nach dreieinhalb Jahren Bilanz gezogen und demonstriert, wie KI-basierte Fahrautomation auch im komplexen Stadtverkehr funktionieren kann. Gleichzeitig wurde in Berlin erstmals eine Realfahrt eines Fahrzeugs unter Level-4-Bedingungen überprüft. Das Forschungsfahrzeug EDGAR der TU München absolvierte eine Strecke durch den Berliner Stadtverkehr, während TÜV-Prüferteams eine neue Methodik zur Bewertung autonomer Fahrzeuge erprobten. Doch es gibt auch eine andere Seite der Entwicklung: Im privaten Pkw-Geschäft rückt Level 3 vorerst aus dem Fokus. BMW streicht den Personal Pilot L3 im neuen 7er und wertet stattdessen den Autobahnassistenten auf. Auch Mercedes bietet im Update der S-Klasse kein Level-3-System mehr an. Hier zeigt sich: Der breitere Kundennutzen entsteht aktuell eher auf anderen Technologieebenen. Die zentrale Frage der Folge lautet deshalb: Rückschritt – oder die notwendige Reifephase einer Technologie, die weniger an Visionen als an Kundeninteresse und Wirtschaftlichkeit gemessen wird?

#194 - Ed Kressy - Addiction, Recovery, and Why Significance Is What We're All Chasing ⛓️

Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, starting with the strange feeling of swapping an Apple Watch for a proper Omega Seamaster at dinner and what that says about style, habits and dressing like a grown up.From there, the conversation moves into Apple's latest software betas, the promise of a genuinely useful Siri AI, whether Apple could replace paid AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for everyday users, and why privacy, on-device processing and private cloud compute could make Apple's approach especially interesting for work, productivity and personal organisation.The second half of the episode turns into a deep dive on cars and the future of the motoring industry. Roberto and Jon discuss the first images of BMW's upcoming electric M3, the changing design language of EVs, why battery range and software may matter more than old-fashioned badge prestige, and how Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, Jaecoo and Omoda could reshape the car market in the UK.They also get into used Porsche Taycan values, Hyundai's Ioniq 9, the rise of chunky EV design, whether premium brands still have real badge power, and why the next generation of car buyers may judge vehicles very differently to those of us who grew up with petrol engines, Sunday drives and poster cars.A wide-ranging conversation covering watches, style, Apple, AI, EVs, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai, Chinese car brands, car finance, software, batteries and why the whole car industry might be entering its biggest shift in decades.

Autoblog Podcast seizoen 2, aflevering 20. Het grootste verhaal van de week komt van BMW. Op Le Mans trok het merk het doek van de M Concept Neue Klasse, de voorbode van de elektrische M3. Met vier elektromotoren, mogelijk tot 1.000 pk en een compleet nieuwe designtaal zet BMW een enorme stap. De vraag is alleen: kan een elektrische M3 ooit dezelfde status krijgen als een E30 of E46? Ondertussen laat BYD zien dat de Chinezen niet van plan zijn om gas terug te nemen. Hun nieuwe Flash Charging-netwerk moet EV's in enkele minuten opladen met vermogens tot 1.500 kW. En het wordt waarschijnlijk ook nog goedkoper dan Fastned. Minder goed nieuws komt uit Den Haag. Rijkswaterstaat heeft simpelweg niet genoeg geld om alle snelwegen te onderhouden. In Noord-Nederland worden projecten geschrapt en uitgesteld, terwijl automobilisten zich terecht afvragen waar al die belastingcenten dan gebleven zijn. Verder bespreken we de matzwarte Ferrari 296 GTB van Lil' Kleine, een mogelijke doorbraak van Stellantis op het gebied van solid-state accu's en een elektrische Mercedes GLC die eindelijk een stuk betaalbaarder wordt. Dit en meer in deze aflevering!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our trauma surgeon ordered an ERA Shelby Cobra replica 4.5yrs ago, and it finally arrived. While not complete, it looks terrific in a very special (and personal) blue color with Air Force fighter pilot leather jacket brown interior. We're excited!Steve-0 has a rant about the Ferrari Luce, the iconic Italian automaker's upcoming four door BEV. He hates it of course, but unlike most observers he blames it on Nepo Baby Hubris--the nepo baby in question being the great industrialist Gianni Agnelli's great grandson John Elkann, Ferrari's Board Chair.Dr Moran's trauma surgeon safety segment involves child safety, and his message is restrain your children properly and never "double buckle", ie - put two kids in one seatbelt.Finally, Steve-0 spotted a Chris Bangle era BMW 645i coupe, and it looked really good. Bangle period BMWs were very controversial when they debuted 25yrs ago, but time has been kind to them and they look good today.#carsoncallpodcast #automobile #eracobra #cobrareplica #ferrariluce #ferrarilegacy #ferrarilucesucks #traumasurgeonsafety #banglebmw #bmw645i #autotrends

What happens when a childhood obsession with building things collides with MIT engineering, BMW design innovation, Harvard Business School, and a mission to shape the next generation of entrepreneurs?You get Laurie Stach.In this episode of Inventive Journey, Laurie shares the unconventional path that led her from building dangerous double-decker go-karts in the backyard to founding LaunchX — one of the most recognized youth entrepreneurship programs helping young founders build real startups and entrepreneurial confidence.Laurie opens up about growing up feeling like she never fully fit into one category. She loved engineering, creativity, athletics, experimentation, and problem-solving all at once. That blend of interests eventually led her to MIT, where she discovered an environment filled with builders, inventors, and curious minds who approached the world differently.At MIT, Laurie immersed herself in machine shops and rapid prototyping culture. She worked at the MIT Media Lab building experimental technologies and learning firsthand how quickly ideas could move from imagination to physical reality. That love for prototyping later carried into her work at GE and BMW Design Studio, where she helped implement new technologies like 3D printing and innovation-driven workflows.But despite enjoying the technical side of engineering, Laurie realized she was increasingly fascinated by bigger questions surrounding innovation itself:How industries evolveHow entrepreneurs thinkHow future trends emergeHow people gain the confidence to build companiesThat curiosity eventually led her to Harvard Business School, where she encountered one of the most uncomfortable lessons for an engineer: there often isn't one “correct” answer in business.Instead, entrepreneurship requires making decisions under uncertainty.That realization became foundational when Laurie launched LaunchX.What started as a simple idea, rough website, and evolving curriculum slowly transformed into a globally recognized entrepreneurship ecosystem. Laurie discusses the early days of balancing consulting with building LaunchX as a side hustle, testing ideas before feeling fully ready, and learning how to scale iteratively instead of waiting for perfection.She also shares the emotional side of entrepreneurship that many founders rarely discuss:fear of uncertaintyfounder identityburnout risksdelegation challengeshiring leadershipscaling mission-driven companiesOne of the most powerful moments in the conversation comes when Laurie explains how LaunchX alumni from the first ten years of the program now represent more than $17 billion in portfolio value. Yet for Laurie, the real mission isn't simply producing unicorn startups.It's helping young people develop entrepreneurial confidence.The conversation also explores:rapid prototypingstartup iterationexperiential educationAI-driven entrepreneurshiponline learning evolutionfuture startup ecosystemsyouth innovation trendsfounder psychologyLaurie explains why she believes today's entrepreneurs have more opportunity than any previous generation thanks to dramatically lower startup barriers and advances in AI technology.At the same time, she emphasizes that entrepreneurship is not just about technology or money. It's about curiosity, resilience, creativity, and learning how to navigate uncertainty.Whether you're a founder, student, investor, educator, or someone exploring your next big idea, Laurie's journey offers practical insight into how successful entrepreneurs actually grow — not through perfect plans, but through relentless experimentation and action.And yes, occasionally through questionable homemade engineering projects.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

This Day in Legal History: Wallace Stands in the Schoolhouse DoorOn this day in 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace physically stood in the doorway of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama to block the registration of Vivian Malone and James Hood, the two Black students whose enrollment had been ordered by a federal district court. Wallace's “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” was the culmination of a long campaign of state defiance of federal desegregation orders that ran from Brown v. Board in 1954 through Cooper v. Aaron in 1958 — the case in which a unanimous Supreme Court told the Little Rock school district, and by extension every state actor, that federal constitutional rulings are the supreme law of the land and that state officials may not nullify them.President Kennedy responded to Wallace's stand by issuing Executive Order 11111, which federalized the Alabama National Guard, and ordering Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach down to Tuscaloosa to confront the governor. Wallace gave a long speech invoking states' rights and Tenth Amendment sovereignty, then stepped aside, and Malone and Hood walked in and registered. That night, Kennedy went on national television and delivered the civil rights address that put the Civil Rights Act of 1964 onto the national agenda. The legal and political throughline matters: the schoolhouse door, the executive order federalizing the Guard, the televised address, and the omnibus civil rights legislation that followed were a single coordinated federal response to massive resistance, and the institutional habit they built — the willingness of the federal political branches to back federal court orders with whatever force is necessary — is the substrate on which the modern enforcement of civil rights law sits. Whether that habit holds up under contemporary pressure is one of the live constitutional questions of our moment.The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” saga we have been following all week reached at least a partial resolution on Wednesday when Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia declined to extend her temporary restraining order against the program into a preliminary injunction. The reason, in essence, is that the Justice Department has now formally represented to the court, in writing and through acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, that the $1.8 billion fund is “not going forward.” Brinkema took DOJ at its word for present purposes and dissolved the TRO, which under standard mootness doctrine is the right call when a defendant credibly commits to abandoning the challenged program. But she also did something practical: she warned the government in plain terms not to “play possum with this court,” language that gives the plaintiffs a built-in mechanism to come back fast if the fund quietly re-emerges under a different name.The substantive theory the plaintiffs were pressing — that the fund is an unappropriated expenditure of public money, that the underlying Trump-IRS settlement was a litigation in which the United States was never really adverse to the President in his personal capacity, and that the program's payout criteria are based on political characterizations of past prosecutions rather than any neutral standard — is now preserved for another day rather than litigated to judgment. The practical lesson is the durability of voluntary-cessation doctrine: a government defendant who is willing to abandon a program in court usually wins on mootness, but the cost is real, because future revivals get scrutinized against the prior representation. Watch the Federal Register and the DOJ component-level budget submissions for the next six months — if there is a successor program coming, those are where the first signal appears.Judge declines to halt “anti-weaponization fund” since Blanche says it's dead, but warns DOJ not to “play possum” | CBS NewsA coalition of environmental and tribal-nation plaintiffs filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday seeking to block a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved land exchange that would transfer 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX, in return for 683 acres of privately owned land elsewhere. The plaintiffs are the Center for Biological Diversity, Save RGV, the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas, and the South Texas Environmental Justice Network.The legal theory of the case is unusually multi-statute: the complaint alleges violations of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act, with the central administrative-law argument being that the Fish and Wildlife Service's environmental analysis failed to grapple seriously with impacts on endangered ocelots, aplomado falcons, and a long list of migratory species whose habitat the refuge was designed to protect when Congress created it in 1979. The plaintiffs describe this as one of the largest national-wildlife-refuge land exchanges outside Alaska, and the suit asks for vacatur of the exchange decision rather than damages — the standard APA remedy.The political and infrastructural backdrop is hard to miss: SpaceX's Starbase facility at Boca Chica has been expanding into the Lower Rio Grande Valley for years now, and the exchange would consolidate the company's footprint on land previously held for the protection of one of the last remaining ocelot ranges in the country. The merits of the case will turn on the rigor of the FWS environmental analysis. Expect a request for a preliminary injunction within weeks.Lawsuit challenges Trump administration's land swap with SpaceX in Texas | The Washington PostA Los Angeles County jury on Wednesday added $22 million in punitive damages to the $176 million compensatory verdict already entered against socialite and former philanthropist Rebecca Grossman and former Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson, bringing the total civil award to the Iskander family to roughly $198 million.The underlying facts of the case are stark: in September 2020, Grossman and Erickson left a Westlake Village restaurant after drinking and street-raced separate Mercedes SUVs through a residential neighborhood, with Grossman striking and killing two young brothers, Mark and Jacob Iskander, then 11 and 8, as they crossed a marked crosswalk with their parents.Grossman was convicted of two counts of murder in 2024 and is serving 15 years to life. The civil case the family brought is the wrongful-death companion, and the punitive damages award the jury added on Wednesday is the part that does the most policy work: the jury split the punitive award $21 million against Grossman, $1.17 million against Erickson, which under California's reprehensibility-and-net-worth framework reflects both the much greater direct culpability of Grossman as the driver and the substantial disparity in their respective financial positions.The case is notable beyond the parties involved because of how clean it is on the standard punitive-damages analysis the Supreme Court laid out in BMW v. Gore and State Farm v. Campbell: high reprehensibility, a relatively modest single-digit ratio of punitive-to-compensatory damages, and an underlying compensatory award that itself was supported by the gravity of the loss. Watch for an appeal that focuses on the compensatory rather than the punitive number — that is where the appellate leverage actually is.Jury Ups Philanthropist, Ex-Pitcher Crash Verdict To $198M | Law360 This is a public episode.

BMW es hoy un símbolo de estatus, ingeniería de precisión y placer de conducción. Sin embargo, detrás de los colores de M y las elegantes carrocerías bávaras, se esconde una historia repleta de decisiones éticas cuestionables, fracasos financieros que casi borran la marca del mapa y fallos mecánicos que dejaron tirados a miles de clientes. En este análisis profundo de Garaje Hermético, no venimos a juzgar con los ojos del presente, sino a relatar los hechos que, seguramente, en Múnich preferirían olvidar. La herencia de los Quandt y el Tercer Reich La historia de BMW no se puede entender sin la familia Quandt, actuales accionistas mayoritarios. Pero su ascenso al poder está ligado a uno de los periodos más oscuros de la humanidad. Günther Quandt, el patriarca, no fue un simple empresario atrapado en la guerra. Se unió al partido nazi en 1933 y su exmujer, Magda, terminó casándose con Joseph Goebbels. El joven Harald Quandt creció llamando "tío" a Adolf Hitler. Más allá de los vínculos sociales, la realidad industrial fue aterradora. Estudios financiados por la propia familia décadas después confirmaron que en sus fábricas trabajaron cerca de 50.000 prisioneros de campos de concentración en condiciones de esclavitud. Aunque la BMW actual realiza labores de reparación moral mediante fundaciones, la sombra del trabajo forzado es una mancha que permanece en el ADN de su capital fundacional. 1959: El día que BMW casi desaparece A finales de los años 50, BMW era una empresa herida de muerte. Su estrategia de producto era un despropósito: por un lado, fabricaban el modesto Isetta, un microcoche que apenas dejaba beneficios; por otro, el espectacular pero ruinoso BMW 507, un coche tan caro de producir que la marca perdía dinero con cada unidad entregada. Solo se fabricaron 252 unidades, y cada una de ellas era un clavo más en el ataúd de la compañía. La situación llegó al límite el 9 de diciembre de 1959. El consejo de administración presentó un plan para vender la empresa a Daimler-Benz. BMW estaba a punto de convertirse en una planta de ensamblaje de carrocerías para Mercedes. Sin embargo, en una asamblea mítica, los trabajadores, concesionarios y pequeños accionistas bloquearon la venta en un estallido de orgullo bávaro. Fue entonces cuando Herbert Quandt decidió arriesgar su fortuna personal, aumentando su participación al 50% y financiando la "Neue Klasse", la serie de coches que salvó a la marca y dio origen a lo que hoy conocemos como la Serie 3. El desastre de Rover: El "Paciente Inglés" En 1994, BMW intentó jugar a ser un imperio global comprando el Grupo Rover por una suma multimillonaria. Lo que parecía un movimiento maestro para adquirir marcas británicas icónicas como Land Rover, MG y Mini, se convirtió en una pesadilla de gestión. El choque cultural entre la estricta ingeniería alemana y la ineficiente estructura británica fue total. BMW inyectó miles de millones de marcos en fábricas que no lograban alcanzar los estándares de calidad requeridos. Tras seis años de pérdidas sangrientas, en el año 2000, BMW decidió desmantelar el grupo. Se quedaron con Mini, vendieron Land Rover a Ford y, en un acto de desesperación financiera, "regalaron" los restos de Rover y MG al consorcio Phoenix por la ridícula cantidad de 10 libras esterlinas. Se estima que esta aventura le costó a los bávaros unos 4.000 millones de euros de la época, una de las peores operaciones en la historia de la automoción. Diseño y mecánica: Las sombras en el producto BMW significa Bayerische Motoren Werke (Fábricas de Motores de Baviera), pero incluso los maestros del motor cometen errores imperdonables. En los años 90, el uso del recubrimiento de Nikasil en los cilindros de los motores V8 tipo M60 resultó en un desastre técnico; el azufre de la gasolina degradaba el material y destruía la compresión del motor, obligando a sustituir miles de bloques en garantía. La avaricia moderna: El hardware bloqueado Incluso en la era actual, BMW ha logrado manchar su imagen. En 2022, la marca intentó implementar un modelo de suscripción para funciones que el coche ya traía instaladas físicamente, como la calefacción de los asientos. Los clientes, que ya habían pagado decenas de miles de euros por sus vehículos, se encontraron con que debían pagar una cuota mensual de 18 euros para "desbloquear" el software de un hardware que ya era suyo. La reacción global fue tan feroz y cargada de memes que BMW tuvo que recular en 2023, admitiendo que el experimento de los micro-pagos en coches de lujo había sido un error de percepción desastroso.

Content creation has become one of the most exciting opportunities of our time, opening doors for people to tell their stories, build communities and even create careers from their passions. But while the creator economy has exploded across the globe, access to the tools and training needed to succeed has not always been equal. That's exactly where this week's guest on Good Things with Brent Lindeque is making a difference. Greg Sheppard, the Founder and CEO of View4All and Studio4, a Johannesburg-based creative entrepreneur working to change how South Africans create, share, and monetise content, joins us to chat about the good work he is doing. With more than two decades of experience in the advertising industry, Greg has worked with some of the world's biggest brands, including Heineken, BMW, Red Bull and MTN. But it was his decision to step beyond traditional advertising that led to the creation of View4All.tv, Africa's first truly free, data-free content platform delivered through Wi-Fi in high-traffic public spaces. The conversation dives into the rapidly growing creator economy, the opportunities it presents for South Africans and the barriers that still exist for many aspiring creators. Greg shares how View4All is helping to bridge that gap by making content more accessible, while Studio4 is identifying and training young creators from previously disadvantaged communities, equipping them with the skills needed to build sustainable futures through digital storytelling and video content. More than just a discussion about technology or media, this episode explores what becomes possible when creativity and opportunity come together. It's a conversation about empowering people, unlocking talent and ensuring that the next generation of South African creators has a chance to be seen, heard and rewarded for their work.

En el mundo del motor actual, pocas preguntas generan debates tan encendidos en redes sociales, foros y barras de bares como la comparativa entre el coche eléctrico y el de combustión. Hoy dejamos de lado la ecología para centrarnos en la física pura y dura. Vamos a analizar por qué un coche acelera como lo hace y si el "territorio voltio" es realmente tan imbatible. La tiranía de la báscula frente al milagro del par motor Para entender la aceleración, primero debemos entender los dos factores que luchan entre sí: la fuerza que empuja el coche y la masa que se opone a ese movimiento. El gran talón de Aquiles del coche eléctrico, hoy por hoy, es su peso. Las baterías de iones de litio tienen una densidad energética muy inferior a la de la gasolina. Sin embargo, el motor eléctrico tiene un as bajo la manga: el par motor instantáneo. En un motor de combustión, la entrega de fuerza es progresiva; los gases tienen que mover una turbina, los pistones deben subir y bajar, y el motor tiene que alcanzar un rango de revoluciones óptimo. En un eléctrico, el par es como un interruptor de la luz: está ahí desde el primer milisegundo. El sprint corto: El dominio absoluto del motor eléctrico Si hablamos del 0 a 100 km/h, el peso importa, pero la capacidad de tracción y el par inicial mandan. En esta distancia corta, el coche eléctrico suele ser el rey absoluto por su facilidad para transmitir la potencia al suelo sin drama. Si comparamos cifras, vemos casos fascinantes. Un Caterham Seven 620R de “solo” 315 CV, que es la máxima expresión de la ligereza térmica con solo 520 kg, logra hacer el 0 a 100 en 2,8 segundos. Es una cifra impresionante, pero un Tesla Model S Plaid, que pesa 2.162 kg (cuatro veces más), detiene el crono en 2,1 segundos. La estirada larga: La gasolina recupera el terreno La situación cambia drásticamente cuando la meta se aleja y buscamos alcanzar los 200 km/h. A partir de los 120-130 km/h, entra en juego un factor determinante: la resistencia aerodinámica, que crece de forma exponencial con el cuadrado de la velocidad. Para vencer ese muro de aire invisible, ya no basta con tener mucho par inicial; necesitas potencia sostenida y una gestión eficiente de la energía a altas revoluciones. La mayoría de los coches eléctricos utilizan una sola marcha, lo que significa que, a velocidades muy altas, el motor eléctrico empieza a girar fuera de su zona de máxima eficiencia. Aquí es donde el motor térmico, apoyado en sus cajas de cambios de 7 u 8 velocidades, saca pecho. Un ejemplo claro es la comparativa entre dos hermanos de marca: el Porsche 911 Turbo S (térmico) y el Porsche Taycan Turbo S (eléctrico). Aunque el Taycan tiene más potencia (761 CV) y mucho más par, el 911 Turbo S le acaba ganando la partida antes de llegar a los 200 km/h por una sencilla razón: pesa 1.640 kg frente a los casi 2.300 kg del Taycan. La frenada: El factor que muchos olvidan Correr es relativamente fácil, pero detener una masa en movimiento es donde se separan los buenos diseños de los mediocres. La energía cinética que los frenos deben transformar en calor depende directamente de la masa. Aquí, Newton no perdona a nadie. En una frenada de emergencia de 100 a 0 km/h, la diferencia entre un deportivo térmico como un Corvette Z06 y un eléctrico potente como un BMW i4 M50 puede parecer pequeña (unos 4 metros), pero en el mundo real, esa distancia es la diferencia entre un susto y un accidente grave. El problema se agrava cuando subimos a los 200 km/h. Frenar desde esas velocidades requiere que los discos absorban una energía brutal. Los eléctricos confían mucho en la frenada regenerativa, pero en una frenada a fondo, el 90% del trabajo lo hacen los discos y las pastillas. Un coche pesado fatiga los frenos mucho antes, provocando el temido "fading" o pedal blando, especialmente en puertos de montaña o circuitos. El equilibrio perfecto: La hibridación moderna Llegados a este punto, cabe preguntarse si existe una solución ideal. El híbrido moderno, como el McLaren Artura o el Ferrari SF90, parece haber encontrado el camino. Utilizan pequeños motores eléctricos para hacer lo que se llama "torque filling" o relleno de par. El motor eléctrico se encarga de dar la patada inicial mientras los turbos del motor de gasolina cogen presión. Esto permite tener la respuesta instantánea de un eléctrico sin tener que cargar con 600 kg de baterías. Es, en términos de ingeniería actual, el equilibrio más razonable si lo que se busca es el máximo rendimiento en todas las circunstancias.

Ende der neunziger Jahre greifen die deutschen Autohersteller nach den Kronjuwelen der Automobilwelt. BMW übernimmt Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen schnappt sich Bentley – und auch Mercedes gerät unter Zugzwang. Daimler-Chef Jürgen Schrempp will ein Zeichen setzen und präsentiert mit großem Tamtam die Wiedergeburt von Maybach. Doch das Problem des neuen Luxusmodells steckt schon im Namen: Von der traditionsreichen Marke, die seit 1941 keine Autos mehr hergestellt hatte, hatten weder reiche US-Amerikaner noch die noch reicheren Scheichs im Mittleren Osten je gehört. Für viele war der Maybach deshalb vor allem eines: eine protzige S-Klasse. Vielleicht endet das Kapitel Maybach auch deshalb schon 2012 – nach nur zehn Jahren und dauerhaft enttäuschenden Verkaufszahlen. Wie gut der Über-Mercedes gealtert ist und ob er heute das Zeug zum begehrenswerten Klassiker hat,darüber sprechen heute nicht Madonna, Jay-Z und Bernie Ecclestone, die den Maybach einst schätzten – sondern Jens Seltrecht, Frank Otero Molanes und Christian Steiger.Executive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailYou buy a new couch… and suddenly your entire house starts failing inspections. This week on the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dive deep into “The Upgrade Spiral” and explore why modern life constantly makes people—and businesses—feel like they are always one version behind.From smartphones and cars to office kitchens, wardrobes, and tech productivity setups, every single upgrade quietly shifts your standards. It distorts your baseline, making everything else you own or use look instantly outdated. In this episode, we break down the exact business strategy behind this phenomenon. Companies like Apple, Adobe, and BMW don't just sell products; they engineered a consumer culture that depends entirely on keeping “good enough” from ever feeling good enough for very long.We look at this from a tactical business perspective: How do you, as an entrepreneur, leverage this cycle to increase customer lifetime value without alienating your audience? On the flip side, how do you protect your own business cash flow from falling victim to lifestyle inflation and unnecessary software-as-a-service (SaaS) upgrades?Social media accelerates this loop daily, transforming satisfaction from a tangible goal into a moving target. Somewhere along the way, content became a lifestyle, and regular upgrades became the mandatory cost of entry. Join us as we unpack the psychology of consumer culture, the mechanics of modern marketing, and how to strategically navigate the spiral so it works for your bottom line, not against it.If you enjoyed this episode, head over to mikeandblaine . com to buy us a beer and keep the conversations flowing!We want to hear from you!

Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian, recaps a Consumer Reports session led by Alex Knizek, outlining CR's nonprofit testing operation (36 cars yearly, 330-acre Connecticut track) and its scoring pillars: road test, reliability, owner satisfaction (380,000 member surveys), and safety, including real-world/track ADAS evaluation. He reads key rankings, including five-to-ten-year reliability led by Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, and Acura, with Tesla last; he contrasts this with the 2026 brand report card topped by Subaru, BMW, Porsche, Honda, and Toyota, and notes Rivian's low reliability but high satisfaction. He shares takeaways that hybrids show 15% fewer issues than ICE, while plug-ins have 80% more issues than hybrids, and discusses model-specific drags (Honda Prologue, Mazda CX-90). He explains his wife's purchase of a 2026 Cadillac Optiq, influenced by pricing, free workplace charging, and Super Cruise. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Why Consumer Reports? 02:07 Inside CR Testing 03:22 Elk Test Explained 04:36 How CR Scores Cars 06:29 Used Car Reliability 09:01 New Car Software Woes 10:56 Brand Report Card 12:54 Surveys Versus Desire 17:01 Hybrids PHEVs EVs 22:23 ADAS & Super Cruise 25:10 EV Reliability Problems 26:46 Safety Rankings 27:37 Top 10 Picks Wrap 28:55 Thanks And Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.
