THE CHURCH: Keys to the Kingdom This Ain't a Camry | Matthew 16:13-20 Seth Norris

There are two ways a person can live his life. One is the conventional way the world operates — through calculations, logic, strategies, and whatever appears to make the most sense naturally. The other way is with the awareness that Hashem is running everything. And therefore, the most important question is not merely, "What works?" but rather, "What does Hashem want from me?" Sometimes even within halachah itself, there is the strict letter of the law and then there is the higher way of acting — a way that reflects deeper emunah, integrity, and trust in Hashem. A person may technically be entitled to something, yet still feel that giving it up would bring more nachat ruach to Hashem. A man from Yerushalayim related the following story about himself. His family owned two cars. One was a small Camry that he used daily, and the other was a minivan for the entire family. Although he knew most people kept multiple copies of their car keys, somehow he had managed for years with only one key to the Camry. Then one day, the key disappeared. The family searched everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found. Since the Camry was locked and unusable, he simply began using the minivan instead. Eventually, after some time passed, he contacted a mechanic. "How much would it cost to make a replacement key?" he asked. "A thousand shekels," the mechanic replied. The man hesitated. A thousand shekels for a tiny piece of metal felt like such a waste of money. He thought to himself that the money could certainly be used for something much more meaningful. So the Camry remained parked outside. Then one evening, while sitting at the dinner table with his family, he suddenly said, "You know what? Instead of spending a thousand shekels on a car key, maybe it would be a much better investment to donate that money to the kollel on our block." Then he asked his family, "Do you believe Hashem can return the key without us paying the mechanic?" His family loved the idea. That very night, immediately after finishing Arbit, he went to the kollel and donated the money. The next day, while he was at work, his children excitedly called him. "Abba! We found the key!" According to the normal way of thinking, the sensible solution was very simple: pay the mechanic and solve the problem naturally. But this man chose to live with a different calculation. He believed that if Hashem wanted him to have the key, He could return it without requiring a thousand-shekel replacement. Instead of investing the money into a new key, he invested it in something that he felt would bring greater nachat ruach to Hashem. And in the end, he received both — the key and the mitzvah. Another man from London related a story illustrating this same principle from a different angle. He worked in real estate and had developed a close relationship over many years with a certain broker. Because of that loyalty, the broker occasionally gave him significant discounts on deals. One time, he arranged several property purchases for an acquaintance through this broker. Since the discounts were only available because of his personal relationship with the broker, he felt it was only fair for him to keep part of the discount for himself. The broker agreed completely. From a conventional perspective, his reasoning seemed perfectly legitimate. Many people would even argue that he deserved compensation for the service he had provided. Everything felt fine until he attended a shiur on business halachah. The rabbi giving the class discussed different forms of ona'ah and questionable financial conduct. Although the man was not certain that he had violated any halachah, something no longer sat right with him. At first, he planned simply to ask a rabbi whether what he was doing was technically permitted. But by the next morning, he was thinking differently. Even if keeping the money might technically have been allowed, he wanted to act in a way that he felt Hashem would be proud of. So he called the broker and explained that he wanted to return the entire amount so the buyer would receive the full discount. Then he reassured himself with a powerful thought: "Hashem has many ways of sending me 2,500 pounds." That very same day, a property he owned — which had remained vacant for months — suddenly got a tenant. But not only that. The tenant voluntarily offered to pay exactly 2,500 pounds above market price and prepaid six months in advance. Hashem showed him immediately that nobody loses by choosing the path of yashrut and emunah. This is one of the great tests of life. The world trains people to think only in terms of calculations, rights, profits, and natural outcomes. But when a Jew truly believes that Hashem controls everything, he begins living a completely different kind of life. Then the question is no longer merely, "What am I allowed to do?" The question becomes: "What does Hashem want from me?" And when a person begins living with that mindset, his entire life changes.

On this episode of Money & Wealth, John Hope Bryant sits down with NFL star and 2024 Walter Payton Man of the Year Arik Armstead for a powerful conversation about money, mindset, discipline, and building lasting wealth. Arik opens up about going from a broke college athlete to receiving a multi-million dollar NFL signing bonus, the financial mistakes he avoided, and the lessons he learned watching other players lose it all. From driving his mom’s Camry after getting drafted to turning down flashy spending habits, Arik explains why financial literacy, long-term thinking, and discipline changed his life. The two also dive deep into family, faith, legacy, and why wealth is bigger than money. Arik shares how his parents poured confidence and purpose into him at a young age, why he believes “staying hungry” is the key to success, and how educating himself beyond football opened doors in business and investing. This episode is filled with gems on ownership, sacrifice, sustainable living, and creating generational change — whether you’re an NFL player or working a 9-to-5 trying to build a better future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So a Chinese car nobody had heard of is now the best-selling vehicle in the UK.  This kicked off a whole conversation about modern cars for us: why they feel off, why new doesn't mean better, and why Wolé would genuinely rather buy a 2010 than anything on the market today. We get into the stuff that quietly annoyed us, but we couldn't quite explain: rubber timing belts that degrade into your engine, sensors crammed into bumpers that no longer exist, EVs that go zero to 60 in seconds and somehow feel like absolutely nothing. We also talked about growing up with cars — the specific ones that gave us joy, the ones that gave us headaches, and the very real Nigerian car ladder from small Camry all the way to the Range Rover.  It's a weird one. But a good one. . . . If, while you're listening, something crosses your mind, or you get that urge to jump into the conversation, we'd love to hear from you!

Find out how AI tools can help navigate the home buying process and where human expertise still matters most. Can AI help you buy a house with reliable information? What would you do if you had only ten years to live, received a $100,000 windfall, or lost your job with just one month of emergency savings? Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola sit down with a NerdWallet colleague to unpack his journey using AI to buy a home. But first, they take turns putting each other through a series of hypothetical — and sometimes grim — financial scenarios, revealing how they'd really handle everything from lending money to a struggling family member to deciding between a millionaire's Camry and a thousandaire's Mercedes. Then, NerdWallet's podcast strategist Cody Gough joins Sean and Elizabeth in-studio to share his experience using Claude AI to help him make homebuying decisions. He shares how he used AI to figure out his financing options, find and evaluate agents, work through mortgage applications, and even assess whether specific neighborhoods were the right fit for his family. NerdWallet mortgage writer Kate Wood joins virtually to offer an expert reality check on Cody's experience — weighing in on his financing choices, what the AI got right and wrong about contingent offers in a competitive market, and where tools like NerdWallet's calculators and articles would have served him better than an AI chatbot.  2026 Home Buyer Report – 48% of Prospective Buyers Will Use AI: https://www.nerdwallet.com/mortgages/studies/home-buyer-report  Compare Today's Mortgage Rates: https://www.nerdwallet.com/mortgages/mortgage-rates  See how far your homebuying budget could take you with NerdWallet's free home affordability calculator: https://www.nerdwallet.com/mortgages/calculators/how-much-house-can-i-afford  Want us to review your budget?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1321: Sedans eye a comeback as affordability bites, tax refunds rise but don't fully convert to sales, and a $2K stripped Tesla proves EV durability in the wildest way possible.Show Notes with links:https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/automakers/an-general-motors-sedan-strategy-0419/#After years of getting crowded out by crossovers, sedans are quietly making a return. Rising prices, shifting regulations, and a hunger for something different have automakers reconsidering the segment many left for dead.Automakers like GM, Stellantis, and Infiniti are exploring new sedan entries, some targeting sub-$30K price points to win back budget-conscious buyers.Sedans are gaining traction again, with Camry, Accord, and K5 posting double-digit sales increases while some crossovers lose share.With average vehicle prices over $50K, sedans offer a more affordable alternative and fill an underserved gap in the market.Design fatigue is real—executives say SUVs are getting “boring,” while sedans offer more room for style and brand differentiation.“There's opportunity for sedans to nibble into utility vehicles,” said S&P's Stephanie Brinley.https://news.dealershipguy.com/p/https-news-dealershipguy-com-p-first-tax-season-under-one-big-beautiful-bill-ends-refunds-up-11The first tax season under the “One Big Beautiful Bill” brought bigger refunds—but not a clean win for dealers. Higher cash in pockets met higher costs at the pump and on loans, creating a mixed bag on showroom floors.Average refunds jumped 11% to $3,462, with total payouts up 14.5%, boosted by new deductions, credits, and no tax on tips or overtime.Dealers saw uneven results—some stores surged, others lagged—as gas prices topped $4 and interest rates stayed elevated.Used market demand leaned toward “near-new” value buys, as shoppers stretched dollars against $50K new-vehicle pricing.Subprime activity ticked up, but down payments shrank, signaling affordability pressure despite larger refunds.“If the war ends…we could see a monster Q4 in '26,” said Potamkin CEO Cole Potamkin.https://electrek.co/2026/04/18/youtuber-buys-stripped-tesla-model-3-go-kart-2000-212-miles-range/YouTuber, Remmy Evans, bought a completely stripped Tesla Model 3 for $2,000—and drove it like a go-kart. Somehow, the battery and motors didn't get the memo.The car had no body panels, windshield, or seatbelts—just the core EV components—and still showed 212 miles of range.Despite 78 error codes and missing safety systems, it was driven on public roads, drifted, off-roaded, and even jumped.Charging proved tricky, with hacked adapters and slow Level 2 charging due to software limitations.Tesla's software may eventually restrict functionality as it detects missing components, highlighting challenges for rebuilders.The big takeaway: EV drivetrains are incredibly durable—even when everything else is gone.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Ray mounts the soapbox and proudly announces that he's practiced what he preaches on this show by buying a pristine 31 year old Toyota! Chris doesn't disagree, and MotorMouth history is made. The boys talk about new cars prices, and a recent trip to O'Reilly Auto Parts by Chris leads to talk about how trying to find some major brands might be hard to do now. A very specific eighth inch bit takes center stage when Chris needs to drill out a rusted exhaust bolt, stay tuned to see if he accomplishes his goal.

Glenn Wiggle and Mike Lomas go it alone this week, covering a packed slate of topics that runs from the absurd to the alarming. They kick things off with New York City Mayor Mamdani's race-based housing equity plan and a broader conversation about what Democrats really mean by "fairness," then pivot to the H-1B visa boom, voter ID, and their shared frustration that neither party is actually representing American interests. The guys weigh in on the Iran nuclear deal deadline, Marco Rubio's accidental candor about U.S. involvement in the Israel conflict, and Glenn's pointed criticism of Israeli strikes on civilian targets in Lebanon. They also take on Canada's assisted suicide expansion, Buffalo's new police commissioner hire, free speech crackdowns in Britain and Australia, and the Scott Jennings clip that had Democrats fuming on CNN. Mike wraps up with a market check, warning against panic selling and timing the market during the current volatility, complete with a Jim Cramer roast and the tale of the "Market Guru" Camry.(00:01:52) Equity Initiative Prioritizing Black and Brown New Yorkers(00:07:27) Election Integrity Concerns and Voter ID(00:14:41) Ethical Implications of Vulnerable Individual Exploitation(00:21:18) Israeli Reporter Leaking Sensitive National Security Information(00:25:13) Embezzlement Impact on Nonprofit Funds Distribution(00:28:43) "Billions Lost: Uncovering Government's Hidden Expenses"(00:30:46) Government Shutdown Impact on Republican Politicians(00:34:35) Americanizing America through Limited Government Intervention

Imagine that you are living in your car. One day, it's stolen for a joyride, abandoned and eventually towed away. You get a court order for the return of your car, but then discover that your very home, your 1991 Camry, has been sold for $175. Later, you find out that the towing company has the car back in their possession and holds it hostage for over a year, accruing $21,684 in storage fees.  Amanda Ogle didn't have to imagine it because this happened to her in 2017. To help navigate the bureaucratic nightmare, she enlisted the help of Kevin Eggers, J.D. '17, who had just graduated from UW Law and was providing legal aid through the Northwest Consumer Law Center. Ogle's case was Eggers' very first out of law school.  After a Seattle Times reporter wrote about the situation, Ogle was contacted by screenwriters who wanted to make her story into a movie. "Tow" premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and opened in theaters nationwide on March 20, 2026. Directed by Stephanie Laing, it stars Rose Byrne and features an ensemble cast including Octavia Spencer, Demi Lovato, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Debose and Corbin Bernsen. In this episode of Discovery, we talk with Eggers and Ogle about the towing dispute and their experiences with the real-life case turning into a movie.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast has a couple of car reviews this week to share, but not before discussing things like wet keyfobs, pond entry/exit, and Canadian Tire clearance sales! The show eventually gets to the point and Benjamin reviews the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox. Not the electric one, but the gas model that faces off against a meaty segment full of favorites like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Ford Bronco Sport. Benjamin has a lot to say about Chevy's plucky crossover, and Sami has a few things to add, but is this oft-forgotten rival worth checking out in such a crowded segment? Then Sami shares his review of the 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, one of the few sedans out there, and with its own fair share of pros and cons. How can one reasonably pick this over something like the Camry or Accord? Sami explains where the Sonata sings and where it falls flat. Thanks for listening!

Amanda Ogle's car got stolen in 2017, and she fought for over a year to get it back from a Seattle towing company. Her bill? $21,684. Ogle was unhoused at the time, so her 1991 Camry wasn’t just a way to get around; it was her home. Her case attracted coverage in The Seattle Times and elsewhere, and now her saga is the plot of a movie, Tow, starring Rose Byrne. Guests: Amanda Ogle, her child Avery Ogle and her lawyer Kevin Eggers, who are all portrayed in the film. Related Links: A towing outrage made Amanda Ogle a Seattle celebrity.

On the evening of July 28, 2025, surveillance cameras at the Sierra County Detention Facility in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, captured a white Kia Soul pulling into the parking lot. The driver parked, stepped out, and walked away. Investigators believe that the driver may have been 32-year-old Andrew Dixon. That brief moment on surveillance video would later take on new significance.Two days later, Andrew was reported missing. A man contacted police to report that his 2004 blue Toyota Camry was missing, and he believed his friend and roommate, Andrew Dixon, may have taken it. He had tried multiple times to reach Andrew, but got no response. He also told investigators that this behavior was out of character. Andrew had never taken anything from him before.Andrew's own car, the Kia seen on surveillance, had been left behind at the detention facility. No one knew why he would leave his vehicle there, why he would take his roommate's Camry instead, or where Andrew may have been headed.As Detective Sergeant Shane Jeffers began investigating, what initially seemed like a possible misunderstanding involving a borrowed car quickly became something more complex. In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Andrew's life had been unraveling, and those closest to him were left trying to piece together a story that didn't quite make sense.In this episode, we will begin piecing together the fragments of Andrew Dixon's life and the mystery of what may have happened to him.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Andrew Dixon, please contact the Truth or Consequences Police Department at 575-894-7111.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One Christmas, I got this two-person pup tent. So stoked. We put it up right away, out in the backyard, just a stone's throw from the house. We had a wee pool and a spa. There was a Ponga fence, and my dad had a black belt in Macramé — so by the pool there was this big, long dangling rope tree-thing, with a glass table-top hanging inside it for drinks and things. When I hear George Benson's Give Me The Night, I instantly think of all the Miami Wine-cooler that was consumed out back. It's a wonder there wasn't cocaine galore and key-parties. But my mum and dad cleaned cars in their spare-time as a side-hustle to earn extra money to get ahead. All night, and most weekends. So, though there were extra keys in the bowl, they tended to stay there — well, until it was time to move the Corolla so that the Camry could have a wash, and the Starlet could zip in for some groceries. The only lines of icing sugar at our place were actual lines of proper icing sugar. For the pav. Or whatever else was for the pool-party. These parties were funny, often impromptu. Mum and dad would take ‘the team' from work out for a staff do. And they'd all end up back at ours, the treat of which was we'd be allowed to get up and hang out with the boozed-up adults. Our great grandmother would have already taken her teeth out, snoring in the spare room until 7am regardless of noise. As soon as we heard the first splashes, me and my bro were up. We'd be allowed in the pool too, at 11pm or even 2am. Whenever it was. It was loose too. Men picking up women and tossing them in the pool. Men shoving each other in the pool. It was always the funniest thing. There were no phones in pockets then, so whole lives and systems of organisation could not crumble. Just a few dress shirts that would go on very quickly to be used as spare rags. It was always classic, somehow the funniest thing you could do — push someone in the goddamned swimming pool. Ruin their hair. But also make their day. And everyone's night! Every now and then, a guy might complain about his shoes, and ask for time to take them off, and quick-smart he'd be shuffling his feet out so he could save them from the drink. The stereo turned all the way up, and the neighbours up, and grabbing a bottle from the pantry, heading over to join in. It'd be Icehouse's Man of Colours, or Hall & Oates' H20. Topical! It'd be the aforementioned George Benson, or more often his Weekend in L.A. album, because the title track and the version of On Broadway were half a side long. Each. There'd be food galore, all the ladies in the kitchen, whipping up whatever they could for a midnight snack, and then about a dozen people would cram into the spa pool and God knows what was happening in that particular Petri dish. But shit it felt like fun back then. Um, well I shouldn't say ‘felt' if you know what I mean…But one time, when everyone left, finally, about 3am or something, my dad agreed to sleep in the pup-tent with me. It had been up for a couple of days, and I'd used it as a sunshade during daylight hours. Me in there with my pick-a-path books. Just choosing my OWN adventure. My little Sanyo tape-deck on batteries, and my dubbed tapes of Bananarama and Cyndi Lauper. My Masters of The Universe action figures lined up around the edges of the tent. But this was going to be the first night I slept in it. I was excited. Nervous too. And I asked my dad if we'd be safe. I'm about 8 years old. And I remember asking with an irrational fear what we would do if anyone came around the back of our house and reached us in the tent. They could club us to our deaths and mum and my brother wouldn't know until the morning, I do remember saying.We'll be fine, dad had reassured me. And I curled up in my sleeping bag and though I remember being so nervous and so excited all at once, it was also so ridiculously late that I fell asleep before my head hit any makeshift pillow. I'd rolled up my ‘Mork' jacket, homemade by my mum, but it squelched and shifted shape, never stayed in the right configuration. So I had my ‘ugly' rugby jersey, a mismatch of various colours, as the pillow instead. A few seconds later — but actually after several hours of proper sleep — it was 7am and I woke up alone in the tent. They'd taken my dad. They had taken my dad! They had snuck around the back, and they had grabbed him, and taken him, and he was gone now, and my arms were hot and loose and my skin felt strange, and I tasted ‘sick' in my mouth. So I ran to the back door of the house, and it was wide open — and I worried. I really, really worried. But I crept inside, to try to find my mum, to break it to her that someone had taken dad… The snoring was louder than it had ever been as I walked down the hall. Great granny was giving it the full lawnmower, and a chainsaw as well. But hang on, that wasn't just her. I pushed into my mum and dad's room and there's the old boy just out on his back. Mum told me he'd snuck in the house straight after I'd gone to sleep. And I felt this weird, awful betrayal. I didn't have the words for it, but I was wild and confused and so close to tears that I could feel my eyes getting sticky as they blinked. Dad! I yelled. Why did you leave me out there alone in the backyard, in the tent, for the baddies to find me, and kill me. He hacked out a cough and with his eyes still closed said, You don't sound very dead mate. I asked again why he'd left me there. And he matter-of-factly told me that it was bloody uncomfortable, on the ground, with no bedding, just a sleeping bag, and it was stupid to him to be out there when he had his own bed inside. And that was that. We never talked about it ever again. And though the tent went up for days on end most summers, it was mostly just the place to shade the stereo and action figures. It was a good spot for reading, and sometimes for a post-swim nap after a cheeky bowl of Cheerios or too many chippies, but only ever during daylight hours.But, look, it is a good tent, so have a think about it, or there are more around the store of course, and I am happy to tell you what I remember about any of those, but maybe just think about a bedroll or camping mattress or stretcher if you are planning on using it to sleep in. It really is a good tent, be a great option, I'm sure. But take your time. There's no rush. I'll be here if you want anything else from me. And thank you for stopping by and considering our store.

Seguramente pensarás que nos hemos vuelto locos. Toyota es la marca más fiable del mundo según la OCU, Consumer Reports y la mayoría de los aficionados. Y es cierto, es un imperio construido sobre la obsesión por la calidad, el "Kaizen" y el "Just in Time". Han enseñado a medio mundo a fabricar coches. Pero la perfección no es de este mundo. Precisamente porque los tenemos en un pedestal, sus caídas son mucho más estruendosas. Cuando Toyota o Lexus se equivocan, no lo hacen con una bombilla fundida: lo hacen con escándalos mediáticos globales y fallos de ingeniería que cuestan millones. En este vídeo hacemos un viaje arqueológico por los "Grandes Pecados" de Toyota que demuestran que hasta los dioses del Olimpo japonés tienen cadáveres en el armario: 1. La Junta de la Discordia (Supra Mk3): El error de "ingeniería de andar por casa" que condenó a los motores 7M-GTE. Un cambio de material en la junta sin actualizar el par de apriete en el manual provocó que miles de Supras quemaran la junta de culata antes de los 100.000 km. 2. Los Chasis de "Papel" (Tacoma y Tundra): Un ahorro de costes en el tratamiento anticorrosión por parte de un subcontratista provocó que las pick-ups más duras del mercado se partieran literalmente por la mitad en zonas de nieve y sal. Toyota tuvo que recomprar los vehículos por el 150% de su valor. 3. La Pesadilla del Lodo Negro (Oil Sludge): A finales de los 90, millones de motores V6 y 4 cilindros (Camry, Lexus RX) acababan gripados por una gelatina negra en el aceite. Un diseño de culata con "puntos calientes" cocinaba el lubricante, destruyendo la imagen de motor indestructible. 4. Lexus y el "Efecto Derretido": Ni la marca de lujo se libra. Paneles y salpicaderos que se volvían pegajosos y brillantes con el sol, derritiéndose al tacto debido a una mala formulación de polímeros. 5. La Caja de los Horrores (MMT): El intento fallido de automatizar el cambio manual en coches pequeños. Tirones, cabeceos y actuadores rotos que dejaban el coche en punto muerto en plena carretera. 6. El "Pedalgate" (2009-2011): El momento más oscuro. Casos de aceleración no intencionada que causaron pánico mundial y la llamada a revisión de 9 millones de coches. Alfombrillas, pedales pegajosos y una crisis reputacional sin precedentes. 7. El bZ4X y las ruedas voladoras (2022): Un fallo de primero de ingeniería en su primer eléctrico global: los pernos de las ruedas se aflojaban en marcha. Tuvieron que detener las ventas nada más lanzarlo. 8. El fallo moral (Daihatsu y GR86): Desde la manipulación de pruebas de seguridad en Daihatsu (filial de Toyota) hasta los problemas actuales con la silicona en el cárter del GR86 que tapona la bomba de aceite en uso deportivo. La conclusión es clara: Toyota sigue teniendo estándares de calidad brutales y, en general, es la mejor opción para ir al fin del mundo. Pero no compréis un coche solo por el logo de la parrilla. Informaos bien, comprad con cabeza y recordad que la infalibilidad no existe.

Hybrids aren't the backup plan anymore—they're the headline. We break down Consumer Reports' 2026 winners, from the Civic Hybrid's sharp steering and 44 mpg to the Camry's 48 mpg and old-school tactile controls that make daily driving easier. Subaru's Crosstrek and Forester win on ride quality, visibility, and confidence in bad weather, while Toyota's mid-sized SUV pick nails cargo space and comfort with an easygoing 35 mpg hybrid. For luxury shoppers, the Lexus NX balances a calm cabin with intuitive controls and a hybrid that smooths the surge.Trucks and EVs share the spotlight too. The Ford Maverick proves you can get real utility without parking-lot fatigue, pairing a spacious cabin with hybrid efficiency that saves cash every week. The F-150 continues to deliver with a gem of a V6 and smart touches like a tailgate that doubles as a workbench. On the electric side, Tesla's Model Y refresh aims squarely at daily comfort—acoustic glass, a calmer ride, better materials—while keeping the speed, range, and Supercharger access that define its appeal.We also cover the news drivers need now: recalls for windshield bonding, high-voltage battery risks, failing displays, and rearview camera glitches. A quick VIN check at safercar.gov can save a headache later. Then we have some fun with auction shockers: a $710K Ford GT, a six-figure classic Bronco, and attainable icons like a '49 Chevy 3100 and a '73 Super Beetle that prove charm still sells. Along the way, we touch on dealer trust rankings, shifting work policies at major automakers, and a heartwarming dealership story that turned a driver's clapped-out Civic into a fresh start.Hit play to get smart on what to buy, what to avoid, and what might tempt your heart more than your wallet.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1237: Today we're talking about BMW and Mercedes battling it out at CES with next-gen AI, a surprising sedan surge in the used market, and how ChatGPT is causing headaches for doctors and lawyers alike.Show Notes with links: https://lnkd.in/dNJMNGBkTwo German giants are trading blows in Las Vegas. CES has become a high-tech battleground for BMW and Mercedes-Benz as they push the envelope on AI and digital experiences in their latest vehicles.BMW is the first automaker to integrate Amazon's Alexa+ AI into its Intelligent Personal Assistant.Launching with the BMW iX3 in 2026, the assistant offers conversational voice interactions and can handle multiple queries at once.Users can link Amazon accounts to access streaming and news directly through the assistant.The AI is central to BMW's Neue Klasse EV platform, with CES once again serving as its innovation stage.“The vehicle becomes an intelligent companion for its users,” said Stephan Durach, SVP at BMW Group.https://lnkd.in/eb_v_mY6Are sedans back in style? Pickup trucks still rule the used car market, but a surprising sedan surge and shifting EV dynamics brought a few fresh twists to 2025's top sellers.The Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 held onto the top three spots.Chevy Malibu shot up from No. 29 to No. 8, likely due to rental fleet sell-offs after GM ended production.Toyota Corolla cracked the top 10 at No. 9; Equinox and Camry stayed strong.Tesla continues to dominate used EV sales, with Model 3 and Model Y leading.VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 made big jumps, while the Chevy Bolt slid to No. 7.“The rankings show minimal variations from 2024, though the dominance of full-size trucks is shrinking,” said iSeeCars analyst Karl Brauer.https://lnkd.in/eWeNSd7aChatGPT Is the New WebMD, And It's Driving Experts Crazy. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming the go-to for legal and medical questions, giving everyone a second opinion—but not always the right one.AI is now widely used for symptom checking, legal strategy, and even therapy prep.One in three Americans consult AI weekly for health advice; 57% use it or would for legal issues.Professionals report clients showing up with AI-generated legal gameplans or diagnoses—often filled with emojis.AI's authority and 24/7 availability make it feel more trustworthy and convenient than waiting weeks for an expert.“We have to dispel the information clients were able to obtain vs what is actually going on and kind of work backwards,” said New Jersey attorney Jamie Berger.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What if the midsize sedan you thought you knew… quietly became one of the smartest cars on the road? Richard and John break down a familiar name with a surprising twist: the 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade Edition. Why did Toyota decide to go all-hybrid—and does it actually pay off in the real world? Can a Camry really deliver close to 45 MPG without feeling underpowered? What makes the Nightshade trim different, and why does it keep coming up as a top recommendation? Is all-wheel drive in a midsize sedan still a big deal—especially for Colorado drivers? And could this be the rare car that undercuts SUVs on price while still checking nearly every box? If you think you already know the Camry, this review may change your mind. Is this the sedan that quietly outclasses the competition? Hit play and find out.

It is the first podcast of 2026 and we're so thankful to be starting the year right with our loyal listeners. Thanks so much for making 2025 (and every year!) so great. Todays episode starts with a discussion of the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid, and the Japanese automaker's overall powertrain strategy. Listen as the guys talk natural gas, hydrogen, PHEV and more and where the CR-V sits among all those choices. Where will Honda go next? Maybe synthetic fuel like Porsche, or Soylent Green? Then Benjamin chimes in with his winter-weather review of the 2026 Toyota Camry. Available with all-wheel-drive and a hybrid powertrain, the Camry is a mainstay of Toyotas lineup, but has it recieved less attention from the automaker with each passing generation? Finally the show ends with a quick discussion of our hosts favourite and least favourite cars they've driven this year. Thanks for listening and have a great start to your year!

The FCC delivered a massive shakeup to the drone industry right before the holidays, adding foreign-made drones (most notably from industry giant DJI) to its "Covered List" of national security threats. While the move effectively bans the sale of future DJI models in the U.S., GeekWire’s Todd Bishop and John Cook explore why this might be a golden economic opportunity for the Pacific Northwest. Featuring highlights from a recent interview with Blake Resnick of Brinc, the Seattle-based maker of public safety drones, who lobbied for the U.S. policy change and supports the move. Related story: Drone capital of the world? Seattle could be a big winner in the U.S. crackdown on DJI and others Plus, the results are in. After ignoring John’s advice and deciding to retrofit his 2007 Toyota Camry with a modern infotainment system, Todd shares the verdict. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brought to you by a very reputable lawyer, my books and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular, it's another exciting episode of the RECRAP. The Bears lost a thriller to the 49ers when they ran out of time on the final drive (which honestly, happens in every game to somebody). The offense was great and fun, the defense was bad and frustrating. Brock Purdy's a prick, Christian McCaffrey's hurt again, and I just hope Luther Burden's OK. Plus, there's a great idea for a reality show where George McCaskey picks one lucky Bear to drive to road games in his Camry. All that, and more.

This week on America on the Road, co-host Chris Teague joins host Jack Nerad for a deep dive into the latest automotive news, two insightful road tests, and a special interview with veteran journalist Gary Witzenburg.

Jack also chats with Gary Witzenburg, former North American Car of the Year Jury president and Motor Trend alum, about his upcoming book of automotive reminiscences.

A federal judge has ruled the National Guard, who were sent to the state earlier this year to quell protests against ICE, must get out of California, and President Trump is pushing back against that order. Today in Anaheim, a group of students on a school track team who were on a group run were ploughed into by an out-of-control vehicle. The driver is under investigation for a DUI. And in Sunland, an electric school bus caught fire below an underpass. We’re not used to having fires with this new technology, and Tesla engineers even gave fire training to law enforcement, in case the lithium-ion battery caught fire. Merrill reminisces about that time in the early ’90s when Dateline placed rockets on a Chevy truck. This week, at a John Wayne Airport in Orange County, a security guard got behind the vehicle of a civilian Camry and sped down the tarmac, overtaking taxying airplanes, due to an apparent “medical emergency.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Start with a promise and test it hard: can a premium three-row actually balance comfort, capability, and value without resorting to gimmicks? We put the 2025 Infiniti QX60 through its paces, calling out the crisp front-end design, tight third row, and the surprising 6,000-pound tow rating that turns a modest 2.0L turbo into a legit weekend hauler. We share the wins you feel every day—quiet ride, simple infotainment, smart headrest speakers—and the misses that matter, like noticeable turbo lag and a transmission that sometimes feels a step behind.From there, we pivot to ownership smarts with a sharp shortlist of cars that make DIY maintenance less painful and more affordable. If you're building confidence with a torque wrench, models like the Toyota Corolla and Camry, Kia Rio, Honda Accord, Chevrolet Silverado ('03–'07), and Mazda MX-5 Miata deliver easy access, plentiful parts, and proven reliability. We explain why access matters more than horsepower when you're replacing plugs, belts, and brakes in the driveway, and how parts ecosystems can save you time and money.We close by championing a modern minivan that earns its keep: the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica. Seven seats, Stow 'n Go flat-fold magic, rear-seat entertainment, Family Cam peace of mind, and a calm, quiet ride powered by Chrysler's stalwart 3.6L V6 with AWD. Real-world mpg, towing capability, and pricing context against Toyota Sienna, Kia Carnival, and Honda Odyssey make the choice clearer: if daily life means people and gear, a thoughtful minivan still solves problems most SUVs can't.

What truly changed at Le Mans when the 2000s began—and why did teams abandon open cockpits just as speeds stayed sky high? We invited author and photographer John Brooks to walk us through the decade he chronicles in Le Mans: The Official History 2000–2009, and his trackside vantage point delivers a rare blend of technical clarity and human detail. From Audi's R8 and R10 TDI era to Peugeot's blistering 908, we explore how diesel power, aero efficiency, and rule changes made reliability the ultimate performance edge.John pulls back the curtain on the engineering trade-offs that redefined endurance racing: the gains in safety that came with closed cockpits, the pit stop calculations that win 24-hour fights, and the unsung collaboration between European operations and American squads like Champion Racing. He also shares how he inherited the official history project from the legendary Quentin Spurring, why the 2000–2009 window stands on its own, and how writing the story with his own photographs turns a coffee-table book into a time machine.We keep the wrenches turning beyond the track. Jeff breaks down the easiest cars to work on—Toyota Corolla and Camry, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Silverado, Honda Accord, and Mazda MX-5—spotlighting accessible engine bays, abundant parts, and weekend-friendly maintenance. Then we climb into the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica, a thoughtful family hauler with stow-and-go versatility, a smooth 3.6L V6, available AWD, and cabin tech that keeps everyone calm mile after mile.If you're searching for Le Mans history, Audi vs Peugeot, prototype safety, and real-world car advice in one place, you're home.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1195: Toyota doubles down on hybrids with a $14B battery bet. Waymo hits the freeway ahead of Tesla in the autonomy race. And OpenAI unveils a “warmer” GPT-5.1 with customizable personalities and smarter responses.We'll be at Automobility LA at the LA Auto Show next Thursday, November 20 hosting the LA Auto Show Sessions. Thanks to our friends at Cars Commerce and Curbee for making it possible. 25% off registration with code MoreThanCars. https://laautoshow.com/meShow Notes with links:As U.S. EV momentum slows, Toyota is increasing its already big bet that hybrids, not full electrics, are the future of American green driving, anchored by a massive new battery plant in North Carolina.Toyota's new $14B plant in Liberty, NC is its largest U.S. battery investment yet.The facility will power hybrid production in Kentucky and Alabama, with plans for EV and plug-in hybrid output.Roughly half of Toyota's U.S. sales are already hybrids or EVs, led by hybrid-only Camry and Sienna models.The RAV4 will become 100% hybrid in 2026, with plug-in sales expected to quadruple.“Regardless of where the regulation goes, we will have the capacity to support our compliance needs,” said David Christ, Toyota North America brand chief.Waymo has a commanding lead in the autonomous vehicle race now launching the first-ever robotaxi service on highways across three major U.S. cities. The move distances it even further from rivals like Tesla and Zoox.New highway service rolls out in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, initially for limited riders.This milestone extends Waymo's reach to San Jose and introduces airport pickups at San Jose International.The Waymo Driver has shown 91% fewer serious-injury crashes compared to human drivers.Waymo now operates over 2,500 vehicles and has logged more than 100 million driverless miles.“The Waymo Driver does not get tired, does not lose focus and does not make emotional decisions behind the wheel,” said project manager Jacopo Sannazzaro.OpenAI has rolled out GPT-5.1, calling it a smarter, more engaging upgrade to its August release of GPT-5—complete with expanded personality settings and model matching enhancements.GPT-5.1 includes “Instant” and “Thinking” variants, optimized for speed, clarity, and task persistence.New personality presets include Candid, Quirky, Nerdy, Cynical, and more, adding tone flexibility.Users will begin to see model auto-matching and personalization tools in settings.The upgrade follows user backlash to GPT-5 and competition from Anthropic powering Microsoft tools.“We're well past the point of one-size-fits-all,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of Applications.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Seth Cogswell, Managing Partner at Running Oak Capital, to unpack the strange market dynamic where low-quality, high-debt companies are outperforming — and why that may be setting up one of the biggest long-term buying opportunities in years.From zombie stocks to the passive investing paradox, Seth breaks down why common-sense investing has vanished from today's markets — and how his “buy low, sell high” discipline at Running Oak is bringing it back.In this episode:– Why profitable, high-quality companies are lagging speculative names– What the “buying a Lexus for the price of a Camry” moment means for investors– How passive flows have hollowed out the core of the market– Why most portfolios no longer follow the buy-low, sell-high principle– The mission behind Seth's new educational series Not So Passively AggressiveLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

A viral tweet recently claimed that 30-year-olds today can't afford what previous generations could—a house they like, a decent car, a $100K salary, and a stay-at-home spouse. Here's the truth: I was 30 in 2006 and only achieved half of that list. We had seafoam green carpet, a purple bedroom, squirrels living in our roof, a 2-door Camry with 150,000 miles, and a two-hour commute. But we were building something. In this episode, I'm breaking down why people procrastinate when they create impossible-to-achieve dreams, why you shouldn't be discouraged if you can't have all of it right now, and why trying anyway is an act of rebellion. Instagram tells you everyone else has it all. The media tells you you'll never get it. Don't fall into that procrastination trap. Pick the parts you want first and give a little on the others. In a world addicted to fear, hope is an act of open rebellion.

What happens in your brain after a workplace injury? When physical pain meets anxiety, sleep disruption, and the stress of uncertain recovery, it can trigger a neurological downward spiral that feels impossible to escape. But neuroscience offers powerful insights into breaking this cycle.In this fascinating conversation with Dr. Alex Korb, neuroscientist, anxiety coach at UCLA, and author of "The Upward Spiral," we explore the brain circuits that drive our emotional responses to injury and the science-backed strategies that can reverse negative patterns. Dr. Korb explains how our brains create habitual responses to stress and why self-criticism—a strategy that may have served us well throughout our careers—often becomes our biggest obstacle during recovery.You'll discover why acknowledging emotions is crucial (hint: ignored feelings don't disappear, they manifest physically), how setting tiny goals creates dramatic chemical changes in the brain, and why your emotional sensitivity might actually be your greatest strength. Dr. Korb uses the brilliant analogy of a Ferrari versus a Camry to illustrate why your emotionally responsive brain isn't broken—it just needs different handling techniques.For workers' compensation professionals, this episode offers invaluable insights into supporting injured workers through both physical and emotional recovery. For anyone struggling with anxiety, pain, or setbacks, Dr. Korb provides practical, accessible strategies drawn from cutting-edge neuroscience that can help transform recovery from a downward spiral into an upward one. The journey begins with understanding that your brain's response makes perfect sense—and small changes can create remarkable results.Season 9 is brought to you by Berkley Industrial Comp.
