¿Puede un objeto conservar algo oscuro después de haber estado relacionado con una tragedia? En Hollywood existen trajes, automóviles, pinturas y objetos de películas rodeados de historias sobre accidentes, muertes, incendios y supuestas maldiciones.En este live de Extra Anormal Podcast hablaremos sobre algunos de los objetos malditos más famosos de Hollywood y la cultura popular: el traje original de The Cat in the Hat; la supuesta maldición de Superman; el Porsche 550 Spyder de James Dean, conocido como Little Bastard; un inquietante mono de los platillos vinculado con un conjuro; y el famoso cuadro The Crying Boy, también conocido como El Niño que Llora.Además, conoceremos las extrañas historias que rodean a algunos objetos de El Mago de Oz y las leyendas que, con el paso de los años, convirtieron piezas aparentemente normales en objetos asociados con tragedias, fenómenos inexplicables y acontecimientos perturbadores.
Jesus says we will be known by our love, and our love is to make Him known. But let me ask you a question: Who is the hardest person for you to love? Oh, I know exactly who it is. It’s someone you live with. Someone you work with. Someone in every one of your circles. It’s YOU. You are the person you are hardest on. You know every flaw, every failure, every awkward quirk, every stupid thing you’ve ever said, and every way you think you should be doing better. And because you spend a whole lot of time with you, you’ve become really good at criticizing you. I’m a fan of long-distance relationships. Our time together is short and sweet. It is savored and precious, then you go home. I don’t have to deal with your quirky self on the daily, and let me tell you, girl, you are quirky! You’ve got some weird things you do. Some of y’all label stuff, then alphabetize it. Some of y’all can’t sit and keep your hands still. Some of y’all eat really loud. And some of y’all come up with the craziest cockamamie ideas that no one understands. Oh wait. That’s me. It’s cute for a short amount of time, but then it’s best if we have some space. And that’s the problem. Wherever you go, THERE YOU ARE! You can’t get space from you. You intimately know your struggles. You have to put up with your own darn quirkiness twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You had a front-row seat to every one of your failures. You don’t even like the sound of your own voice. And let’s not talk about looking in the mirror or seeing yourself in photos. Oh mercy. It’s a real issue. Do you have a hard time loving you? Let’s make this real clear: this is a problem. You will be known by your love, and your love is to make Him known, but you refuse to fully love the one person you can simply never get away from: YOU. I promise you this: you hating you is not an honorable representation of your Creator. You may cover it up as humility, but at its core, it’s hateful. You’re hateful toward you. And you being hateful toward you doesn’t make a single soul say, “Wow, I just gotta know what that girl is doing! I gotta know about the One who helps her hate herself so well. I just gotta know where she gets this deep critical spirit for herself, because I really want some of that too.” Nobody ever says that. In fact, what if your self-hatred is actually telling the world something about your God that isn’t true? Imagine something you own now that you really love. Maybe you love your Roomba. Maybe it’s your Sleep Number bed. How about your Lululemon workout pants? Or your Stanley cup, your Dyson hair dryer, your UGG winter boots, your jacked-up Jeep, your fancy Tesla, or your Dawn Dishwashing Spray (because that stuff is pure magic and gets a three-month-old stain out of your favorite shirt.) You have something you love. Now imagine that product you love started telling you all about how much it disliked itself. What if your UGG boots constantly told you how truly ugly they were? Because let’s face it, those boots are ugly. You know that’s why they’re called UGG, right? Ugg-ly! If every step you took in your UGG boots came with a little voice saying, “I’m so ugly. I hate how I look. I don’t deserve to be worn,” you would eventually start believing there was something wrong with them. ****And there’s certainly something wrong with whoever made those boots, because boots aren’t supposed to talk about how ugly they are. What if your Roomba roamed around on your floors, vacuuming up all that dog hair like she always does, but she started incessantly talking about her clumsiness and her tendency to bump into things? “Oh my gosh, I can never just get from the kitchen to the bedroom without running into everything. I always get stuck under the couch. Gosh, why do I do that? I hate that about my Roomba self. I’m always just wandering around lost, and then I start running low and run out of energy. I just can’t do it all.” If your Roomba started talking like this, you would think the insanely rich creator of the Roomba wasn’t so great after all. Dude, what you made hates itself! Here’s your ah-ha moment: Could that be your representation of God? “Oh, God is sooooo good. He is sooooo faithful. I loveeeeeee God, but I just can’t love me. I’m just messed up. I’m flawed. I’m never good enough. I’m unworthy. But everybody, you should really love the One who personally designed me. He’s great!” Do you see what you’re doing when you are unloving toward yourself? Do you see how it’s totally NOT humble, totally not honoring, and totally not God’s will for you? You see it, don’t you? So when are you going to get serious enough to do something about it? The Bible says in Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Girl, you are God’s workmanship, his masterpiece. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. You are not some random collection of flaws that happened to land on this planet. You were made by a Maker. And the Maker gets to decide the value of what He made. Psalm 139:14 says: “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.” What if you started seeing yourself through the eyes of the One who made you? Not through the eyes of comparison. Not through the eyes of your worst day. Not through the eyes of the person who rejected you. Not through the eyes of the mirror. Not through the eyes of the scale. Through the eyes of your Maker. Because you know what? The person you have spent the most time criticizing is the person God has spent your entire life loving. You have been rehearsing your failures. God has been lavishing you with grace. You have been pointing out what’s wrong with you. God has been calling you His masterpiece. You have been disqualifying yourself. God has been inviting you closer. Romans 8:1 says, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” That little voice in your head that never stops reminding you that you’re not enough? That isn’t the voice of your Savior. Jesus convicts, but He doesn’t condemn. There is a difference between God lovingly showing you something He wants to change – and you continually beating yourself up for being human. One leads you toward Jesus. The other makes you hide from Him. Do you want to know why loving others exhausts you so much sometimes? Because you show up already worn out from the battle you’re fighting with yourself. Before you ever greet your family in the morning, you’ve already beat yourself up for how your body is aging, how your energy is never enough, and how you’ve secretly failed yourself. Maybe you put on a good show so no one else sees it, but you hear it. That little voice in your head just never stops. It’s why we struggle with relationships. We’re looking for someone to fill that empty hole within us, but no matter how much they pour into us, it’s never enough because, girl, you keep poking at the hole. God wants to heal that hole in you. He wants to help you calm the voices. He wants you to receive His love so deeply that you no longer need everybody else to convince you that you are worthy of being loved. He wants you to love yourself in a way that reflects the love He already has for you, so you can show up in this world in a way that glorifies your Creator. Jude 1:20–21 MSG: “Stay right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!” Stay right at the center of God’s love. That’s what we are supposed to do. And we do precisely the opposite of this. Us beloved girls of the Almighty, we tear ourselves down in comparison and shortcomings. We disqualify ourselves from the love of God. All while we are supposed to be building ourselves up in faith and keeping ourselves in the love of God. Instead, we shut down. We shrink and hide. We build walls. And we live on the outskirts of God’s love instead of staying right smack dab in the middle of it. God’s love for you hasn’t changed. But when you continually tear yourself down, you are living outside the reality of the love He is inviting you to receive. THIS IS A PROBLEM. A serious problem. And God wants to change that. What if you started practicing the mindset of being profusely loved by God? Think about that. The mindset of being profusely loved by God. If you knew how much your Creator loved you, you would find it easier to love you too. And if you loved you as you were created, you would represent your Creator in a magnificent way. But instead, sometimes you’re the Roomba, wandering around cleaning floors and blasting to the world about your low battery, your tendency to get stuck, and the corners you constantly miss. It’s hard for me to praise your Maker when you’re continually telling me what He made in you isn’t enough. Whew. Let that one sink in. Beloved, build yourself up and keep yourself in the love of God! Today, practice this mindset of being profusely loved by God. Invite your soul to plunge into His love like a dolphin romping in the sea. Go ahead and get that visual. The dolphin clearly doesn’t hate itself. It swims and jumps and celebrates everything it was created to do. And every single one of us absolutely LOVES watching a dolphin. We all literally delight in seeing a dolphin just being a dolphin and doing its dolphin things. A dolphin doesn’t make a lot of money. A dolphin doesn’t speak eloquently. A dolphin doesn’t run marathons. A dolphin doesn’t have a degree. A dolphin does dolphin-ing, and we love it for it! And I’m telling you, we need to see you living like that! We need to see you plunging into God’s love, building yourself up. We need to see you jumping up, unafraid to be seen, loving how your Creator created you. I need to see Catherine Catherine-ing. Rhonda, you honor your Creator when you are Rhonda-ing. Lynette, please bring your Lynette-ing today. Julie, get your Julie-ing on today. Kristin, girl, only you can Kristin like you Kristin. Jessica, your Jessica-ing and Stephanie, your Stephanie-ing shows me your Creator! You don’t glorify God by becoming somebody else. You glorify God by becoming fully who He created you to be. Actively engage in His unending, extravagant, no-strings-attached affection for you. That’s not bragging, boasting, or showing off. That’s saying, “Hey, I’m an UGG boot, and I’m showing up exactly as I was created to. I was designed to look like this, and the One who made me really likes me!” That’s saying, “I’m a Tesla Model 3, and I’m not going to beat a Porsche 911 GT2 RS in a race, but I’m going to get you where you’re going in my own way!” That’s saying, “I’m a Stanley cup. I can’t make my own water, but girl, I can keep your water cold and I can also keep that coffee hot! I’m magical in my own way!” I’m not like you, and you’re not like me. But we can each glorify our Maker when we adopt the mindset of being profusely loved by our Maker. We can glorify our Creator when, like a dolphin romping in the sea, we plunge into God’s love for us—totally enough, wholly chosen, and confidently placed in a time such as this. I’ll stop everything I’m doing to watch that dolphin naturally doing dolphin things, loving its dolphin life. In the same way, I’ll stop everything I’m doing to see YOU naturally doing your thing, loving your life. Ohhhhh, what a beautiful representation of your Creator you are when you keep yourself in His love!

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Al Corte Podcast.Hoy nos acompaña Borja Muñoz, Borjatube, empresario, autor, fundador de Club84 y una persona que durante años fue especialmente conocida por su trayectoria dentro del mundo del trading.Pero en esta ocasión nos sentamos con Borja para hablar de otra de sus grandes pasiones: los coches.Hablamos de algunos de los deportivos que han pasado por su vida y de las experiencias que más le han marcado, entre ellas la historia de su espectacular Ferrari 488 Pista azul, un coche muy especial con el que descubrimos qué supone realmente tener y disfrutar de uno de los Ferrari más radicales de los últimos años.También viajamos a otra época para hablar de los coches de los 90, de Porsche y de algunos de esos coches que quizá sobre el papel no sean los más rápidos ni los más caros, pero que consiguen transmitir algo que cada vez resulta más difícil encontrar.Y de ahí nace uno de los grandes debates del episodio: ¿eran mejores los coches de antes o simplemente eran más emocionantes?Potencia, sonido, sensaciones, diseño, tecnología, conducción analógica frente a coches modernos y esa búsqueda constante del coche perfecto que muchas veces termina demostrando que más rápido no significa necesariamente más divertido.También hablamos de su faceta empresarial, de su evolución profesional, de Club84, de levantar negocios, de dinero y de cómo cambia nuestra percepción de las cosas a medida que vamos cumpliendo objetivos.Pero, sobre todo, este episodio es exactamente lo que nos gusta hacer en Al Corte: sentarnos dos aficionados al motor y hablar durante horas sobre coches, experiencias, recuerdos y pasión por conducir.Ferrari 488 Pista, Porsche, deportivos de los 90, coches modernos, negocios y muchas reflexiones sobre una afición que va mucho más allá de tener el coche más caro o el más rápido.

Retention sits near the top of almost every HR priority list. The main tool most organizations use to understand it is a conversation with someone who has already quit. Jim Link is the Chief Human Resources Officer at SHRM, the largest HR professional association in the world with more than 340,000 members. Before SHRM, he spent three decades in HR at GE, Porsche, and Randstad, where he held full HR accountability for a $5.2 billion business with up to 100,000 employees. In this episode, he covers: • Why the reasons your best performers stay are usually a different list from the reasons other people leave, and what that does to a retention plan built on exit data • How a written performance review becomes a static record that can work against the organization later, especially when the rating feeds a compensation formula • What SHRM's 2026 State of the Workplace report found about employee experience, including a 91% to 44% split in reported job satisfaction Timestamps [00:01:17] Turning the exit interview into a stay interview, and asking the people you want to keep what's keeping them there [00:01:38] Why leaders wrongly assume stay interviews will produce the mirror image of exit interview answers [00:02:22] Knowing one personal fact about every person on your team, and why that single connection changes how you manage [00:03:39] Separating performance ratings from compensation, and what happens when a 2.3 out of 5 turns into a .06% raise [00:05:39] How an overly glowing written review becomes a bad fact if the employee later exits under performance or restructuring [00:07:32] Employees and employers both know today's skills won't carry forward five years, which makes the gap solvable [00:09:10] The risk of cutting headcount before anyone in the organization understands what AI can actually do [00:12:02] What separates organizations moving the needle on manager development from the ones running the same programs every year [00:13:48] SHRM research showing 91% job satisfaction where workplace needs get addressed, against 44% where they don't [00:15:29] Treating stress and burnout as an organizational liability a CHRO is expected to manage Guest Bio Jim Link is the Chief Human Resources Officer for SHRM. With more than 340,000 members around the world, SHRM is the largest HR professional association in the world and the leading voice for matters related to workers and the workplace. Prior to joining SHRM, Link's career included roles of increasing responsibility across a variety of industries and companies including General Electric, the Pillsbury Company, Porsche Cars, and Randstad. While at Randstad North America, he led a global team of 150 HR professionals who were instrumental in transforming the company into an award-winning, inclusive, and sustainable global leader. Link consistently demonstrates dynamic and visionary thought leadership with a variety of presentations focusing on the interconnection between effective human capital management and business results.

Most property investors think design is just about scatter cushions and paint colours. Julian Maurice — design consultant, former contractor, and HMO investor — says that misunderstanding is costing landlords thousands. In this episode, Julian breaks down why he believes most investors don't actually understand what "profit" means (hint: gross yield tells you nothing), and how applying Dieter Rams' 10 Principles of Good Design — the same framework behind Apple and Porsche — transformed his own property portfolio. We cover:

Car & Driver found on-road handling more stable than a Wrangler but criticised abrupt accelerator and braking response off-road, and the Moab trim's $68,990 price and 222 mi estimated range may limit its appeal against conventional off-roaders.FORD DISCONTINUES CURRENT-GENERATION F-150 LIGHTNING, PLANS EREVFord quietly discontinued the current-generation F-150 Lightning in December, though it stayed on sale for several months and is now absent from Ford's website, ending the run of what had been America's best-selling electric pickup. Its replacement will be an extended-range EREV pickup using a petrol generator for more than 700 miles of combined range, which CEO Jim Farley called a "better solution" that runs on electricity 90% of the time.BYD DOLPHIN SURF ADVERTISED FROM €12,605 IN SPAINBYD is advertising the Dolphin Surf from €12,605 in Spain via September promotions, a figure that depends on CA Auto Bank financing over at least 72 months with a 36-month commitment, dealer and manufacturer discounts, a €3,375 Plan Auto+ advance and €950 from an energy-saving certificate. Because the finance contract rather than the subsidy award fixes liability, buyers owe CA Auto Bank the €3,375 if their application fails or the scheme's €400 million for 2026 runs out, and the price is €825 higher than the €11,780 advertised at the car's May 2025 launch.EVGO AND REGENCY PLAN MORE THAN 400 FAST-CHARGING STALLSEVgo and shopping-centre owner Regency plan to install more than 400 fast-charging stalls across Regency properties in the United States, concentrating on centres anchored by grocery stores. Each new site is planned to have up to 24 high-power chargers, with charging during a grocery run pitched as both a convenience for drivers and a draw for retail footfall.CHERY PLANS FOUR UK MODELS INCLUDING FIRST EVChery will launch four new or updated UK models in the next 12 months, including its first fully electric car for Britain, after entering the market in August 2025 and recording more than 29,000 registrations and over 2.5% market share in its first year. Plug-in hybrids remain central, with Chery Super Hybrid vehicles accounting for around 75% of UK registrations and CSH upgrades including larger battery packs planned for the TIGGO 4, 7, 8 and 9.PORSCHE BUGATTI SALE GENERATES ABOUT €1 BILLIONPorsche completed the sale of its 45 percent stake in Bugatti to a consortium led by HOF Capital on 9 September, having declined to disclose a price when the deal was announced in April; Rimac Group holds the remaining 55 percent of the joint venture, which has run since 2021. The disposal is part of a portfolio overhaul by Porsche and its Volkswagen Group and Piech family owners under CEO Michael Leiters, who since January has cut 5,000 jobs and sold non-core businesses.SLOTKIN SAYS TRUMP MAY ALLOW CHINESE CARSSenator Elissa Slotkin said she had heard unsourced rumours that President Trump may allow Chinese cars into the US under a broader agreement with China ahead of a Washington meeting with Xi Jinping, warning it would "irrevocably impact" 1.2 million Michigan jobs. The claim looks more like political theatre than imminent policy, given Trump has backed the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs that the Biden administration raised from 25% in 2024, and Slotkin and Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno are pushing the Connected Vehicle Security Act to ban Chinese vehicles, software and hardware outright.SSEN RECEIVES £166,092 FOR ROAMING EV CHARGINGSSEN Distribution has received £166,000 in discovery funding through Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund for Roaming MPAN, a scheme to cut the cost of on-street EV charging by letting drivers use their household electricity tariff at other connection points, identified via the 13-digit MPAN assigned to each network connection. SSEN said the approach could also benefit the network by encouraging drivers to charge on-street overnight when demand is lower.AUSTRALIA ADDS EV WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT TO DRIVENAustralia's federal government has opened a third round of the DRIVEN programme, extending support for dealerships and repair businesses beyond chargers to EV-specific workshop equipment, with up to 80 per cent of eligible costs claimable for protective equipment, tools and lifting apparatus. AU$18.8 million has been allocated to the 2026-2029 Charger Rebate Stream, offering up to AU$3,000 per fixed smart charging plug or portable DC charger, alongside wider measures such as New South Wales' AUD$100 million EV strategy announced in April.ELECTREK REVIEWS NANROBOT LS7+ WITH 74.5 MPH TOP SPEEDNanrobot claims a 74.5 mph top speed for the $2,299 LS7+ standing e-scooter, which pairs two 3,000W motors and a claimed 10,000W peak with a 72V 35Ah Samsung battery, 11-inch tyres, four-piston NUTT hydraulic brakes, adjustable KKE suspension and a steering damper. Electrek's Micah Toll did not test the top speed and found riding above the low 40s mph uncomfortable, noting the claimed 81-mile range assumes 15.5 mph with a 165 lb rider and would fall sharply in real use, making the scooter better suited to extreme off-road recreation than commuting.

Ed's in Venice, so Alex and Kirsten discuss the FUKT.Purist Satirical Hypercar Reveal, fake engine sounds and smells, privacy, surveillance, Angeles Death Highway, Waymo in San Diego, Dumb Headlines, the Rivian R2, CyberCab challenges for 1st Responders, and Alex makes a prediction.EPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Welcome to The AutonocastAlex and Kirsten open an Ed-free episode and discuss Ed Niedermeyer's trip to Europe for the premiere of Alex Gibney's Elon Musk documentary.04:27 — FUKT Global and the Ultimate Car-Culture SatireAlex introduces FUKT Global and Angela's Death Highway, unpacking a viral AI-powered parody of modern enthusiast cars, EVs, synthetic driving experiences, and automotive marketing.08:39 — Fake Engine Sounds, Fake Manuals & Fake Gasoline SmellsWhy FUKT's fictional electric “Purist” brilliantly skewers synthetic transmissions, artificial engine sounds, simulated shifting, and the auto industry's attempts to recreate analog driving.12:02 — Surveillance, Flock Cameras & the Future of Driver PrivacyThe parody gets more serious: 14 interior cameras, connected vehicles, driver monitoring, and the provocative idea that “safety should follow the driver, not the car.”13:26 — Is This the Nightmare Future of Human Driving?Alex explains how mass-market vehicles could become increasingly automated, monitored, and restricted while true analog driving becomes a luxury available primarily to wealthy enthusiasts.15:00 — Can Technology Preserve Driving Freedom?A vision for future EVs that could reproduce the performance, sound, feel, and dynamics of classic Mustangs, Porsche 911s, and other enthusiast cars while balancing safety, privacy, freedom, and agency.17:03 — What Would an Autonomous-Vehicle Satire Look Like?The hosts imagine applying FUKT's approach to the AV industry: billion-dollar fundraising, robotaxi promises, surveillance, shifting timelines, and technology pivots.19:00 — Tesla Cybercab and the Power of “Narrative Command”Kirsten examines the optics surrounding Tesla's Cybercab event and how a relatively small deployment can appear enormous through social media, influencers, and Tesla's ability to control the autonomy narrative.21:01 — Tesla vs. Waymo: Perception vs. DeploymentAlex argues that Waymo may have thousands of vehicles operating while Tesla has far fewer Cybercabs, yet public perception increasingly treats the companies as peers in the robotaxi race.22:35 — Robotaxis Without Steering Wheels or PedalsZoox and Tesla Cybercab introduce a new safety challenge: what happens when a driverless vehicle without conventional controls becomes disabled or stuck?23:51 — First Responders and the Driverless-Car ProblemKirsten discusses emerging California rules addressing how autonomous vehicles interact with police, firefighters, emergency personnel, teleoperators, and roadside incidents.26:09 — Riding Waymo in San DiegoFresh from Waymo's newly launched San Diego service, Kirsten describes pricing, pickup locations, routing, passenger experience, and how the service compares with Uber.28:04 — Would You Put Your Child in a Waymo Alone?The discussion turns from abstract AV safety to a much more personal threshold: what would parents need to know before allowing a child to travel alone in an autonomous vehicle?29:06 — Robotaxis, Uber & Personal SafetyKirsten explores the tradeoff between a driverless vehicle that may require passengers to walk several blocks and a human-driven Uber offering true door-to-door service.32:42 — Why Autonomous Cars May Not Kill Car OwnershipAlex argues that parents and existing car owners may prefer personally owned autonomous vehicles that are always available rather than relying exclusively on shared robotaxi fleets.33:39 — The Cybercab First-Responder QuestionThe hosts return to Tesla Cybercab and debate how vehicles without manual controls can be moved when software, connectivity, or autonomy fails.35:23 — Tesla Cybercab, FMVSS & NHTSAKirsten explains the federal self-certification process, Tesla's Cybercab approach, vehicles without traditional controls, and NHTSA's inquiry into whether alternative systems satisfy federal safety requirements.37:47 — Is the NHTSA Inquiry a “Something Burger”?Alex and Kirsten debate how significant the federal scrutiny really is—and whether Tesla will simply continue deploying until regulators establish a boundary it must address.39:01 — Can You Drive a Cybercab With a Controller?A discussion of service modes, remote assistance, emergency controls, and reports and images suggesting unconventional ways Cybercabs might be maneuvered without a steering wheel.39:23 — The Waymo Headline Where Nothing HappenedThe hosts dissect a San Francisco Chronicle story about a toddler, a crosswalk, and an approaching Waymo—and debate clickbait versus meaningful AV safety journalism.42:26 — Why One AV Incident Can Affect the Entire IndustryAlex and Kirsten discuss how autonomous vehicles are often treated as a single technological category, meaning a serious incident involving one company could damage public confidence in every AV developer.44:28 — Has the Consumer AV Safety Debate Already Been Won?Alex clarifies his argument that, whatever unresolved regulatory and technical issues remain, autonomous vehicles are increasingly becoming normalized in the minds of

En un mundo automovilístico cada vez más dominado por pantallas táctiles, asistentes electrónicos, sonidos sintetizados y habitáculos asépticos, parece que la esencia de conducir se está evaporando. Las marcas nos venden minimalismo digital, pero nosotros echamos de menos el tacto de los botones, la conexión mecánica de una caja de cambios manual y esa sensación visceral de controlar la máquina sin filtros. ¡Pero no todo está perdido! Todavía existen "dinosaurios" resistiendo la era digital. Hoy nos ponemos el traje de aventureros para ir a la caza de los últimos coches 100% analógicos que aún puedes comprar nuevos de fábrica. Este video cuenta con el apoyo de nuestros amigos de AMV Legend. Un seguro pensado para coches excepcionales y clásicos (con más de 20 años, no hace falta que sea histórico), con muy buenos precios y las coberturas que necesitas para este tipo de vehículos, a las que puedes añadir asistencia en carretera los 365 días del año y desde el kilómetro cero. Para conocer todas las opciones, tienes que entrar en la página web de AMV Legend: https://goo.su/6qZso ¿Qué hace que un coche sea un "dinosaurio" hoy en día? No hablamos de clásicos de museo, sino de máquinas modernas que mantienen viva la llama de la vieja escuela: ✅ Conexión mecánica: Palancas de cambio que se sienten como el cerrojo de un rifle. ✅ Instrumentación real: Relojes de agujas con respuesta instantánea. ✅ Control físico: Freno de mano de palanca y botones que puedes accionar con guantes. ✅ Experiencia sin filtros: Dirección que comunica y motores térmicos que rugen de verdad. En este vídeo, repasamos nuestra lista de los 10 "dinosaurios" supervivientes: -Caterham Seven: La experiencia de conducción desnuda y pura. -Ineos Grenadier: Un todoterreno rudo y diseñado para la aventura real. -Lada Niva Legend: El fósil viviente que sigue imparable 47 años después. -Lotus Emira: El canto del cisne de la marca, con dirección hidráulica inigualable. -Mazda MX-5: El eterno rey de la conexión jinete-caballo. -Morgan Plus Four: Un viaje al pasado con fabricación artesanal de madera y aluminio. -Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0: Precisión alemana con un corazón atmosférico que pone los pelos de punta. -Subaru BRZ: Exigente, divertido y diseñado para los que aman conducir. -Suzuki Jimny Pro: La felicidad reducida a una pequeña caja con reductora mecánica. -Toyota GR86: Diseñado exclusivamente para el disfrute en carreteras de montaña. ¡Queremos saber tu opinión!
Canada's housing market is becoming more affordable, but just as buyers are getting some relief, a new set of risks is emerging.The latest RBC affordability data shows condo affordability nationally has improved all the way back to late-2019 levels, reversing much of the deterioration that followed the pandemic. Toronto and Victoria are now even more affordable than they were in 2019, while Vancouver is only a few percentage points away.Renters are also gaining ground. Average Canadian rents have fallen 4.8% year-over-year to $2,035, marking the 23rd consecutive month of annual declines. Vancouver rents are down 2.4% to $2,729, while record levels of purpose-built rental construction continue adding competition for tenants.But affordability is only one side of the equation.Canada unexpectedly lost 41,700 jobs in August, compared with expectations for a 15,000 gain. Unemployment remained at 6.4%, but wage growth slowed to just 2%, its weakest pace since 2017. The question now is whether this was simply one weak month or the beginning of tariffs and slowing growth showing up in employment.Meanwhile, mortgage borrowers face a very different problem.Canada's five-year government bond yield reached 3.63%, a 27-month high, as bond yields surge globally amid inflation concerns, enormous government borrowing and geopolitical instability. Because five-year Canadian bond yields heavily influence fixed mortgage pricing, mortgage rates can rise even while the Bank of Canada keeps its overnight rate unchanged.Markets are also increasingly contemplating Bank of Canada rate hikes. At the time of recording, market pricing implied a 42% probability of an October hike and 78% by December, with additional increases being priced into 2027. Those probabilities can change rapidly, but the dramatic shift illustrates how quickly the interest-rate narrative has reversed.Development is providing equally dramatic examples of the market reset.CURV, the proposed 60-storey luxury Vancouver tower once marketed as the world's tallest Passive House and famous for offering a Porsche promotion, entered receivership after selling only 41 units. Presale contracts have now been terminated, and the 1075 Nelson Street development site is back on the market. The land had reportedly been appraised between $169 million and $183 million in 2024, illustrating just how dramatically development economics have changed.And even completed projects aren't immune to problems. Owners at Coquitlam's 567 Clarke + Como have filed a lawsuit alleging defects involving waterproofing, windows, HVAC, concrete, balconies and elevators. None of the allegations have been proven in court, and the developer disputes the claim, but the case provides an important reminder for condo buyers: new does not automatically mean risk-free.Finally, Vancouver's fall market is beginning under a cloud of uncertainty. Only 447 homes sold during the first nine days of September, compared with 539 during the same period last year, a roughly 20% decline. It's far too early to call the month, but the initial numbers point toward an unusually slow start.The contradiction is becoming impossible to ignore: housing and rents are becoming more affordable, but employment is weakening and borrowing costs threaten to rise again.For Vancouver real estate, the next phase may be determined by which of those forces wins._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
About Mark: They call me the Event Maestro. Here's why that matters to you.Your last event was a success. Yet, you left a fortune on the table. The feedback was great. The room was full. And still — the mission didn't accelerate the way it could have. Not because the event failed. Because no one showed you what the room was actually capable of. For one brief window, you had your investors, donors, board members, team and community leaders in a single space. Most leaders use that moment to share updates and deepen connections.The “Event Maestro” uses that moment to activate these stakeholders. Investors who came to observe - write a big check. Donors who increase their giving without being asked. Board members who become more cooperative. Sponsors who witnessed your culture and expanded their commitment on the spot. That's not a better agenda. That's a gathering engineered to turn your mission into a movement. For 30 years, I've been in the business of turning audiences into believers — and believers into buyers.I've strategized 900+ events over three decades. I help Impact CEOs activate stakeholder engagement through immersive experiences that don't just captivate rooms — they move people to act, lead and invest. As Co-Founder of BigImpactHQ, my wife Shannon and I have trained over 3,000 leaders to harness the power of speaking and live events. Our "Speak Your Path to Cash" System has generated more than $150M in revenue for our clients and landed them on stages most people only dream about — Tony Robbins, TED Talks, CNN, The View, Brendan Burchard, Mama Gena, and more. Before BigImpactHQ, I spent years as a Senior Branding Strategist for Clear Channel, writing 1,100+ radio ads and campaigns for Porsche, Harley-Davidson, AFLAC, and Marriott. That background wired me to think in messages that cut through noise and land with precision. I've shared stages with Jack Canfield, Robert Kiyosaki, Les Brown, and others — not just because I'm a good speaker, but because I understand the science of influence and the art of transformation. My work sits at the intersection of conscious leadership, transformational influence, and the inner game of business success. I help companies live from their higher purpose, build conscious cultures, and follow the principles of Conscious Capitalism — because mission-driven businesses outperform, period.Connect with him here: www.MAGspeaks.comDon't forget to register for our limited-space 5-day LinkedIn workshop here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshop

¿Quién decidirá el futuro del motor en Europa? Si piensas que serán las grandes firmas alemanas o francesas, la realidad actual podría sorprenderte. Los gigantes automovilísticos chinos están protagonizando una compra sigilosa y estratégica de nuestras fábricas y de las marcas más icónicas de toda la vida. La estrategia es brillante: asimilar la nostalgia y la historia europea para introducir su tecnología en nuestros garajes. Hace no tanto tiempo, la percepción de los vehículos chinos estaba ligada a una calidad dudosa y a copias de diseños occidentales. Sin embargo, el panorama ha cambiado radicalmente. Hoy en día, China es una superpotencia tecnológica que domina la cadena de suministro global de baterías, la digitalización y los minerales clave. Gran parte de este éxito radica en su cúpula directiva y política, formada en su inmensa mayoría por ingenieros y perfiles técnicos de altísimo nivel. Sabiendo que el comprador europeo es profundamente tradicional y romántico con sus marcas, las grandes corporaciones chinas evitaron el millonario coste de introducir firmas desconocidas. Su solución fue utilizar su inmenso capital para adquirir el prestigio incalculable y el "saber hacer" de las marcas de siempre. Repasamos cómo esta asimilación ha transformado el mapa automotriz europeo: Ebro: La mítica marca española, famosa por sus tractores y furgonetas, resurge de sus cenizas. Tras el cierre de las instalaciones de Nissan en la Zona Franca de Barcelona en 2021, el gigante automovilístico chino Chery se asoció con EV Motors. Esta alianza no solo ha resucitado a Ebro con previsiones de producción de miles de vehículos, sino que las mismas instalaciones barcelonesas ensamblarán modelos eléctricos del grupo Chery, como Omoda y Jaecoo. Lotus: La marca fundada por Colin Chapman bajo el lema "simplifica y luego añade ligereza", fue adquirida en un 51% por el grupo Geely en 2017 para salvarla de la agonía financiera. La paradoja actual es que, gracias a la inyección del capital chino, la firma ha sobrevivido, pero su nuevo buque insignia (el Eletre) es un lujoso y pesado SUV eléctrico de dos toneladas y media. MG (Morris Garages): Quizás el caballo de Troya perfecto. El que fuera el símbolo del roadster británico es hoy una firma controlada al 100% por la corporación estatal china SAIC Motor. La ingeniería y producción se trasladaron a China, y el emblemático logo octogonal se utiliza ahora en compactos y SUV eléctricos de gran éxito de ventas. El consumidor compra nostalgia europea, aunque el vehículo provenga directamente de Shanghái. Pirelli: La icónica firma italiana de neumáticos fue comprada en 2015 por ChemChina (actual Sinochem). Con la evolución de los neumáticos hacia entes súper tecnológicos capaces de recopilar datos críticos ("Cyber Tyre"), el gobierno italiano invocó recientemente la ley del "Golden Power". Esta medida busca limitar la influencia del Estado chino en decisiones estratégicas y blindar la sensibilidad de los datos que recogen estos neumáticos en las carreteras europeas. Polestar: Nacida originalmente como la división de competición de Volvo, Geely (dueña de Volvo) la transformó en una marca independiente de vehículos eléctricos premium para competir con Tesla o Porsche. Representa la simbiosis perfecta: el diseño vanguardista y sostenible se desarrolla en Suecia, mientras que la fabricación se nutre de las mega fábricas y la tecnología de baterías en China. Smart: Fruto inicial de la compleja unión entre Swatch y Mercedes-Benz, Smart fue durante décadas un pozo de pérdidas para los alemanes a pesar de ser un icono urbano. En 2019, Geely compró el 50% de la marca. Hoy, Mercedes-Benz se limita al diseño exterior e interior, mientras que Geely se encarga del chasis, motores, software y fabricación en China. Adiós a los biplazas minúsculos; los nuevos Smart son potentes SUV compactos. Volvo: El caso de éxito por excelencia. En 2010, Geely compró la marca sueca a Ford. Contra todo pronóstico pesimista, el capital chino respetó la identidad de la firma ("Geely es Geely, Volvo es Volvo"). Financiaron el desarrollo tecnológico en Suecia y dejaron que los ingenieros europeos hicieran lo que mejor saben hacer: fabricar coches seguros y elegantes. El resultado ha sido una época dorada con récords históricos de ventas mundiales. En definitiva, el legado histórico de Europa ha encontrado en el músculo financiero de China la vía para sobrevivir a la transición eléctrica. Nosotros ponemos la nostalgia y el diseño; ellos, el capital y la tecnología.
Full episodes and much more available on Patreon.com/slopquest The boys open the show with impressions of Sean Connery being racist. This leads to garrison Keillor impressions. There’s some medi-evac talk. Then they talk about how bad they would both be as spies. Then they talk about why fighter pilots need two people in the cockpit: to operate the cd player and George Formen grills. Ryan insists that scientists don’t know how wings work. Then they come up with a curriculum for fighter pilot school. Andy blows Ryan’s mind with the idea of a “provisional license” and is finally proven right on a fact. Ryan reveals that he would be a bad father because he wouldn’t let his kid touch his Porsche posters with syrup all over their hands. Ryan then invents a shower bidet that’s just a slightly smaller shower for your ass. Andy falls in love with Sword and Buckler while Ryan makes fun of his “tiny little shield”. Ryan, Andy and Google AI get into a heated argument about Bang Bus. This leads to an argument over the legality of blasting fuck noises on giant speakers throughout a neighborhood. This leads to a crash out where Ryan tells google Ai that Andy has an iq of 82. This crescendos with Andy absolutely losing his shit on Ryan and screaming at him.
Lövei Róbert karosszérialakatos, veteránautó-restaurátor és egyedi autóépítő mesél az amerikai autós világról, Chip Foose-ról, a Kindig-It Designról, Sylvester Stallone Mercury Monterey-jéről, ritka Ferrarikról, Rolls-Royce-okról és egy több mint 500 lóerős Mustangról. Ebben a magyar podcastban szóba kerül az amerikai élet, a siker, a pénz, a kemény munka, a Tesla, a Porsche, a klasszikus autók restaurálása és Róbert személyes története is. Lövei Róbert Orosházáról indult, majd az Egyesült Államokban épített magának nevet az autórestaurálás és az egyedi autóépítés világában. Az adásban őszintén beszél arról, hogyan jutott el a magyar műhelyektől Las Vegasig és Houstonig, milyen szakmai és emberi kihívásokkal találkozott Amerikában, és mit tanult a kitartásról. Róbert dolgozott díjnyertes autókon, exkluzív magángyűjtemények különleges járművein és olyan projekteken is, amelyek Amerika legismertebb custom autóépítőihez kapcsolódtak. Megismerhetjük egy arab sejk rendkívül ritka Rolls-Royce-ainak történetét, a Magyarországon épített és többszörösen díjazott „szivar" Wartburgot, valamint Sylvester Stallone 1958-as Mercury Monterey-jét is. Szóba kerül Chip Foose és a Kindig-It Design világa, egy 23 ablakos Volkswagen busz, az F40 és a LaFerrari elképesztő értéknövekedése, valamint egy különleges, kézi váltós, több mint 500 lóerős Mustang. Róbert azt is elmeséli, hogyan lehet 12 000 dollárért hozzájutni egy olyan autóhoz, amelyben csak a motor 28 000 dollárt ér – és miért hangzott el erre az, hogy „ez már lopás". Az epizód második felében a régi és modern autók közötti különbségekről beszélgetünk. Tesla vagy Porsche? Automataváltó vagy kézi váltó? Klasszikus mechanika vagy szoftverekkel vezérelt autó? Róbert saját vezetési élményein keresztül mondja el, mi lepte meg a Teslában, és mitől ijedt meg igazán egy brutálisan gyors Porschéban. A beszélgetés nemcsak autókról szól. Róbert felidézi a COVID-időszakban átélt súlyos egészségügyi problémáját és a vakcinákkal kapcsolatos személyes tapasztalatát is. Az elhangzottak Róbert saját élményeit és véleményét tükrözik, nem minősülnek egészségügyi tanácsnak vagy általános érvényű orvosi állításnak. Ez egy történet szakmaszeretetről, kockázatvállalásról, becsületes munkáról és arról, hogyan boldogulhat egy magyar szakember Amerikában. Róbert szerint a szerencse mindössze 10–15 százalék – a többiért nekünk kell megdolgoznunk.

It goes on sale in South Korea next month and reaches Europe in the first half of 2027, with UK orders expected to open above £100,000.IMPORTER BRINGS CHINESE-MARKET AUDI EVS TO EUROPEAuto China is importing, homologating and registering Chinese-market AUDI E5 Sportback and E7X electric cars for European sale, undercutting Audi's own models — the 776hp E5 costs €28,000 less than the 543hp S6 Sportback e-tron — with a charging adapter and a two-year warranty through independent repairers. The risks include unclear parts supply, workshops unfamiliar with the cars, driver-assistance tuned for Chinese roads, and the precedent of Volkswagen suing over imported ID.6s in 2023, after which those cars were destroyed.68% OF AUSTRALIAN EV OWNERS FLAG CHARGING GAP IN NRMA SURVEYAn NRMA survey of 42,472 members, including 1,730 EV owners, found 68% of EV owners concerned about a lack of charging infrastructure, while purchase price and range anxiety are fading and EVs near cost parity with petrol cars over a vehicle's life. Fuel costs were the top worry for combustion drivers at 75%, and electrified vehicles took 49.16% of Australia's new-car market in Q2, including 69,414 battery electric vehicles.VOLVO'S EUROPEAN PLANTS TO BUILD GEELY BRANDS FROM 2028Geely Auto Group's new chief An Conghui says Volvo's European factories are expected to build luxury models for sibling brands such as Zeekr and Lynk & Co from 2028, with the 61-year-old Ghent plant in Belgium a likely candidate following an upgrade deal with the Belgian and Flemish governments. Building in Europe would sidestep the EU's 18.8% tariff on Geely's Chinese-built EVs and support the group's target of 1.5 million annual sales outside China.CHERY TO OPEN UK R&D CENTRE AT MILLBROOK IN LATE 2026Chery will open a research and development centre at UTAC Millbrook in Bedfordshire in late autumn 2026, starting with chassis and driver-assistance tuning for British roads before extending into autonomous driving and AI, alongside a pact with Nissan to explore building its UK cars at Sunderland. Chinese brands took about 16% of UK registrations in the first half, with the Jaecoo 7 the third best-selling vehicle overall at 23,840 units, up 184%.CHERY TO LAUNCH IN GERMANY IN 2027 WITHOUT AN EVChery is establishing its German headquarters at Frankfurt's Gateway Gardens and will launch the Chery brand in the first half of 2027 with four Tiggo SUVs, all hybrids or plug-in hybrids and no battery-electric model, despite EVs being Germany's fastest-growing powertrain. An electric Chery Q, compared with the Renault 5 E-Tech, will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October, as the group targets 30 dealers at launch and 100 by the end of 2027.HYUNDAI AND GENESIS DRIVERS GET IONNA CHARGING AT $0.31/KWHFrom 20 August, Hyundai and Genesis EV owners in the US can stack two 10% discounts on Ionna's $0.39/kWh base rate, cutting it to $0.31/kWh, with one discount expiring 30 September and the other continuing indefinitely. Sessions must be started through the car maker's app or Plug & Charge rather than the on-site card reader, and eligible models include the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, GV60 and Electrified GV70, but not the recently discontinued Ioniq 6.HYUNDAI AND KIA PARTNER WITH KALUZA ON SMART CHARGINGHyundai Motor Group has partnered with Kaluza to build smart charging into Hyundai and Kia EVs from August 2026, integrating with the Kia and myHyundai apps so drivers can set a ready-by time and charge on cheaper, cleaner power, launching in the UK first and then Australia. Vehicle-to-grid services are due from 2027, adding to Kaluza's existing work with Stellantis, Volvo, Volkswagen, Porsche and Mitsubishi Motors.DUTCH INSURER UNIVÉ RESTRICTS COVER FOR 14 CAR BRANDSUnivé, a Dutch insurer with over 1.8 million members, has restricted or excluded 14 car brands based on parts availability, repair information and access to qualified workshops, limiting Dongfeng, Lucid, Firefly, Nio and Zeekr to third-party liability and fully excluding Hongqi, Changan, Voyah, KGM, Leapmotor, VinFast, Jaecoo, MHero and Omoda. The brands took 3.6% of July's Dutch registrations, up from 1.0% a year earlier, and dealers call the warning heavily overblown, with Chery saying it holds more than 30,000 parts at Schiphol-Rijk.
Jonathan Kienle's team once sent a salesperson to chase down a customer's canceled check, and he crashed the loaner car doing it, and Kienle says that single moment is exactly why he stopped trusting cash, checks, and credit cards to handle his dealership's biggest transactions. He walks through how switching the default down payment method saved his group $168,000 in fees so far this year, with $300,000 in sight by year's end, and argues that most dealers are needlessly eating card fees and fraud risk on payments that don't have to carry either. Jonathan Kienle is the Director of Operations at Walters Automotive Group and Kienle Motorsports in Riverside, California, where he oversees five stores spanning Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Audi. A third-generation dealer, he started at the family store at 14 cleaning the parts department, worked nearly every job in the building, and spent two years cold-calling at a Ford store before his father would let him back in. Joining him is Truett Dwyer, Co-Founder and CEO of Clerq, the payments company he credits with turning down payment collection from a source of risk into a documented driver of profit. Kienle speaks candidly about the moment that convinced him legacy payment methods weren't worth the risk anymore, how he trained his finance team to make the new method the default instead of the fallback, and what surprised him most once the savings started compounding. This episode of Industry Spotlight is brought to you by Clerq. Topics: 02:40 Dad Made Him Start At Ford First. 06:50 Canceled Checks Left Dealers Chasing Customers. 07:10 Credit Card Fees Destroy Margins. 08:00 Salesman Crashed Car Chasing A Check. 09:55 Clerq Is Venmo For Dealerships. 11:00 Debit Cards Have Daily Spend Limits. 12:40 Dealer Didn't Believe Solution Existed. 14:30 Clerq Guarantees Every Transaction. 16:30 Checks Expose Customer Bank Info. 18:35 $168K Saved In Credit Card Fees. 23:45 Dealers Need Fast Payouts. 28:20 Focus Drove Way More Savings.

Technically it's excellent, but does it have the romance to lure buyers from marques like Porsche and Ferrari?正文:If there was any doubt that Chinese manufacturers were serious about their world domination of the car market, the Denza Z will mark a new chapter from a UK perspective. When thinking of Chinese cars in the UK, the immediate image is of keenly priced family cars that challenge established brands in terms of value for money. But brands from China are now increasingly looking to disrupt sectors that are normally the preserve of high-end European manufacturers. One such car is the Denza Z, an ambitious four-seat coupé or cabriolet from BYD's premium brand, with power figures to rival not only Porsche and Ferrari but even Bugatti's hypercars.知识点:keenly adv. /ˈkiːnli/• 英文释义:in a way that shows a strong competitive edge or intensity• 中文释义:激烈地,极具竞争力地(指价格上具有强烈吸引力)• 文中意:定价极具竞争力地(指中国车以性价比作为核心竞争优势)• 例句一:The new smartphone is keenly priced to compete with established brands. 这款新智能手机定价极具竞争力,以与传统品牌抗衡。• 例句二:The airline offers keenly priced tickets to attract budget travelers. 这家航空公司提供价格极具竞争力的机票以吸引穷游旅客。【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》,带你精读最新外刊,了解国际最热事件:分析语法结构,拆解长难句,最接地气的翻译,还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻,想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达,有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者(如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等) 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程,拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解,系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记,包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等,帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Send us Fan MailYou spent your whole career building someone else's brand. What happens when the title, the salary, and the identity get taken away overnight?In this episode, we have Jess Lane, founder of The Full Cup Co., the career design company for the future of work. After twenty years in marketing and advertising for names like Procter and Gamble, Porsche, and The RealReal, Jess was laid off at forty in a mass reduction and applied to 496 jobs before deciding to build something no employer could take away. She joins us to talk about designing your next chapter, future-proofing your career in the age of AI, and why your worth was never tied to that spreadsheet.Is the 9-to-5 really going away? It is changing fast. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman has said the 9-to-5 could be extinct within a decade. The takeaway is not panic, it is that work is being redefined, and there are real ways to future-proof yourself for what comes next.How do you future-proof your career against AI? Lean into what is most human. Strategy, intuition, creativity, and human storytelling are becoming the most valuable skills. Use AI as a tool, but do not try to sound like it. The more human you are, the harder you are to replace.What is career design, and how is it different from a side hustle? Career design starts with your unique blueprint, your motivators of autonomy, connectedness, and competence, then builds a sustainable path around your life. A side hustle is usually just extra income without that foundation. As Jess puts it, side hustles are often "hustley," while career design builds the career meant for you.How do you financially prepare to leave a stable job? Do not leap and hope. Leaping is not a strategy, an exit plan is. Look at ROI and risk differently, turn the unknowns into knowns, and build a plan with real timelines and numbers. Investing in yourself is what makes the leap sustainable instead of scary.Ready to design your next chapter? Join us for the next Money Talks.

In this episode of The Ferrari Marketplace Podcast, host William Ross interviews Chris Miele of Prancing Horse of Nashville (Ferrari of Nashville) about his lifelong passion for Ferraris, from attending Ferrari Club of America Nationals as a kid in New Jersey to serving as a Marine scout sniper in Hawaii while obsessively reading car magazines. Miele explains how he entered the auto business through Mercedes-Benz, gained early Ferrari dealership experience in Hawaii, helped launch a New Jersey Ferrari dealership in 2004, and witnessed key model eras, calling the 360 a major game changer. He discusses how Ferrari options and tailor-made evolved, the importance of deep product knowledge and Ferrari Academy training, and how Nashville was chosen to fill a regional market gap. He outlines the dealership's ownership group, unique atelier features, Classiche work, restoration and concours projects, events, storage services, and the strategy behind sourcing rare inventory. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Meet Chris Miele 01:06 Early Ferrari Spark 02:29 The Marine Corps Years 05:07 First Dealership Break 06:33 Building Ferrari NJ 09:42 Breaking Into Ferrari Sales 13:53 Options and Tailor Made Evolution 17:57 Classiche and Concours Projects 21:21 Chris' Detour to Rolls and Porsche 23:57 Launching Prancing Horse of Nashville 28:24 What's it like opening a Ferrari Dealer? 31:07 Ferrari Academy Training 32:24 Ownership Group Spotlight 33:33 Designing the Atelier Room 35:50 Sourcing Rare Inventory & Classiche Program Value 40:22 Italy Projects and Events 43:43 Collector Market Realities 48:07 Growth and Storage Business 50:23 Wrap Up and Sponsors ==================== 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 On Ferrari Friday's, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live and breathe the Ferrari brand.

Could Porsche Build a Hypercar on the Audi Nuvolari Platform? Have you seen this thing? It actually looks pretty good. One automotive outlet floated the idea that Porsche could build a hypercar off the Audi Nuvolari chassis, and on paper it makes sense. They're all under the VAG umbrella, so "borrowing" a platform would save Porsche a ton of money versus developing one from scratch. But here's the thing, if Porsche actually goes this route, no matter how good the final car looks, it's a letdown. Porsche is an elite brand. You build your own hypercar, you always have. The day they step away from that is the day it shows they're really hurting, and it would all but confirm they're in panic mode. We hope this one stays a rumor. 100 GT3 Bergsport, Europe Only. We're Not So Sure The story going around is 100 units of the GT3 Bergsport, Europe only, and the American market is reportedly furious about it. We're not convinced this is the final word. We're still firm believers this thing is a tribute to the '73 RS, and we think it's going to make its way to the US looking a lot like that car. Calling it now, we hear things. Curious what you all think about the Euro only angle, though. Manuals, Hybrids, and Reading Between the Lines Porsche announced they'll keep building manual transmissions for as long as they're allowed to. Sounds nice, but really it's Porsche getting ahead of the story. If manuals do go away down the road, they've already set it up so it's not on them, it's regulations. The real news buried in there is that Porsche confirmed they have no plans to pair a manual gearbox with a hybrid drivetrain. So connect the dots. Any future Porsche announced with a hybrid powertrain, you can bank on no manual option coming with it. Rally Season Is Here Time to get the cars ready. Our own rally is right around the corner, Targa Carolina is right around the corner, and we've got Luft wedged in between the two. If you're at Luft, come find us and say hello.

In Podcast #385, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew kick off the 46th season of the show! We hit the road running with the latest and greatest in new automotive hardware, starting with the first ever Toyota RAV4 tuned by the engineers at Ga-zoo Racing…the GR Sport. Then we always like to begin the season with a hot performer, and that's almost an understatement with the Porsche 911 Turbo S. And speaking of speed, we have something special on two-wheels–Italian by way of China–the Moto Morini X-Cape 1200 is on tap for today. Along with our usual topics including a lightning round about the relevance of sub-brands and we'll try and answer a fan mail about man's best friend and their cars.
This week, I head to Savannah, Georgia, for a special tour of **The AutoBahn Speed Collection at Hagerty Garage + Social**—a fascinating collection that celebrates Porsche performance, history, and enthusiast culture. And this isn't just a room full of cars. Among the standouts are a 1958 Porsche 356A 1600 Speedster race car, a 1971 Porsche 914/6 GT Brumos Tribute, a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo "Weissach" SCCA Showroom Stock race car, and a very unusual 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo GT "Monte Carlo." But the cars are only part of the story. The collection also dives deep into Porsche culture with **Porsche bicycles, competition wheels and seats, steering wheels, scale models, vintage posters, books and factory literature, workshop items, parts and accessories, and an entire assortment of Porsche Club memorabilia**. It's the kind of collection where you can spend as much time studying what's hanging on the walls and sitting on the shelves as you can looking at the cars. Come along as I tour the collection, pick out some of my favorites, and explore a side of Porsche collecting that goes well beyond simply owning the cars.

Zack Andersen started as a 15-year-old fridge stocker and car detailer, got paid to read books, and turned that habit into a 7-figure career by age 23. Casey sits down with Zack to trace the blueprint behind that transformation, from door-to-door sales to managing teams to a life he once couldn't imagine.Their conversation covers role models, momentum, and the discipline of not quitting when accounts aren't closing and the weather turns cold. Zack's formula: get clear on what you want, find people who've already done it, extract their blueprint, refuse to stop.What emerges is a story less about talent and more about identity, habit, and compounding effort over a decade.

Tonight,We talk about all that is good in the world.
Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we're both back in our respective homes before traveling again. Our show is about modern watches destined to become classics. Now, before you accuse us of focusing on money, erase those thoughts! We don't care about value. No, we are talking about watches that will be interesting several decades from now.Predicting the future is difficult, but we're here to try! This week, we're focused on modern watches that will command respect in the coming decades. As you'll see, we have some caveats. We chose relatively affordable pieces instead of haute horlogerie models. And we both chose three, for a total of six watches. We hope you enjoy the show!HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our show with a bit of travel talk, but we quickly shift to the screen. Shows including I Will Find You, Lanterns, DTF St. Louis, and Half Man get mentions. Then, Balazs brings up an upcoming auction for the 1998 Game 3 NBA Finals jersey from Michael Jordan. It's listed on Joopiter and will be up for auction with an estimate of $10 to $15 million! We end our banter with a mention of Instagram user @dewesyy, who is filming the cobbling together of a Porsche 911 Targa from two rough beaters. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing his trusty Rolex Submariner 14060M from 2011. Balazs is sporting his Ming 22.01 GMT Kyoto.The modern watches we'll still be talking about in 20 yearsWe kick off our main topic by mentioning the one and only Bvlgari Octo Finissimo. While this watch may not fit every wrist, it's a stunning object. Perhaps Bvlgari will never take this watch out of production, or maybe it will evolve into something different. Still, there's no denying that the current watches are arresting. We think they'll still be grabbing attention in the long run.For Mike's first pick, the original 42mm Tudor Pelagos in black, blue, or LHD still stands out as a landmark watch. More than the Black Bay, these were non-retro releases and were the first titanium "Rolex." Aside from moving to an in-house caliber, the watch has barely changed since its 2012 debut in 2012. We'd be surprised if the model doesn't change soon, but the original will always be special.Next up, we mention the Ming 17-series. It's hard to believe, but Mike first reviewed a 17.06 Slate back in 2019. This started his love affair with the brand, and it was ultimately contagious. Now, Balazs is hooked too! The 17.09 was a watershed moment for both of us, as we each own one.Technical powerhousesFrom a technical perspective, it's hard to fault the Sinn EZM collection. These pieces are the brand's most focused and hardcore tool watches, made for specific jobs. Models like the EZM 1 are the most famous, but all of them are worth owning. Due to the innovation and design, we're confident that all of these editions will be discussed in the future.Balazs brings up the Grand Seiko SLGH005 White Birch from 2021, a watch that created a craze for the upscale Japanese brand. People went nuts for the White Birch when it came out, and any time GS releases another silvery-white dial, there's a similar fervor. The 40mm steel reference comes equipped with the brand's satisfying and mesmerizing 9SA5 Hi-Beat automatic movement. Yes, Grand Seiko makes a lot of watches, but there will only be one original White Birch.Finally, Mike suggests that the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer is one of the modern watches that will be a future classic. Honestly, we forget how impressive Nomos is with its in-house movements and escapements. The latest Worldtimer is a cool watch available in several flavors. With its thin caliber and multi-city display, this is and always will be a great daily (and global) accessory.We hope you enjoy today's show, and thank you for listening. As always, if you have future show ideas, please let us know!

When Jerry Kong sells a single-family home, buyers walk through the door with a compass app open to check the feng shui. When he leases an apartment, tenants just say, "Cool, where do I sign?" That single realization pushed Jerry — alongside his partners Anthony and April — from single-family investing into building a multifamily portfolio spanning Portland, Denver, San Antonio, and Tennessee, with over $50 million in assets under management and 1,000-plus doors. In this episode, Jerry breaks down the exact structure of his first-ever capital raise — a $1.6 million deal split four ways with an experienced sponsor, where he personally raised just shy of $400,000 over two and a half grueling months — and how leveraging that sponsor's name changed the way brokers treated him in his home market almost overnight. He also shares why he calls the biggest, most established operator in any new market before making a move, how radical transparency turned a friend's Porsche fund into an investment in his deal instead, and why the best compliment an investor can give is skipping the webinar because they already trust the process. Whether you're trying to structure your first capital raise or figure out how to keep investors engaged between deals, Jerry's approach to building credibility through consistency and honesty is a rare, unfiltered look inside how a real multifamily team actually operates.Five key takeaways:Multifamily is a fundamentally different sale than single-family. Jerry pivoted away from single-family, where emotional buyers scrutinize everything down to the feng shui, toward multifamily, where tenants sign a lease as a straightforward business transaction — a much better fit for his finance-driven, numbers-first mindset.Everyone on the team has to raise, no exceptions. Jerry's team runs on one rule: no matter your specialty — underwriting, investor relations, marketing — you're still expected to raise capital, because relying on one person for deal flow creates a single point of failure, as they learned firsthand when a team member's personal crisis stalled an entire market.Borrow the biggest name in any new market. Instead of competing against the top established operator in an unfamiliar market, Jerry calls them directly to partner, since that operator has likely already seen — and passed on — the deal for reasons a newcomer might completely miss.Radical transparency builds more trust than a polished pitch. Jerry never leads with upside; he walks investors through the worst-case scenario and every real-world risk built into his underwriting — which is exactly what convinced a savvy investor to delay buying his son a car and invest in Jerry's deal instead.Consistent, personal communication is a credibility engine. Sending newsletters from a personal email instead of a mass-mailer address, doing three touches per distribution, and treating an investor's "no thank you, I don't need the webinar" as the ultimate compliment are what keep investors coming back deal after deal.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

The four-stall site uses ABB Mobility all-in-one dispensers delivering up to 400 kW with NACS and CCS1 connectors and app-only payment, part of a rollout that added 612 stalls in the first half of 2026 and ranked second only to Tesla for new ports energised in Q2, at an average $0.43 per kWh with 10% off for Walmart+ members.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ V PRE-SALES IN CHINABeijing Hyundai has begun pre-sales of the Ioniq V at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show ahead of a September launch, priced from 119,900 yuan (about $17,300) to 139,900 yuan across three versions, with up to 650 km of CLTC range, an 800-volt E-GMP architecture, CATL LFP batteries of 53.5 or 66.8 kWh and single motors of 140 or 168 kW. It is the first production Ioniq developed in China, using a 27-inch 4K Snapdragon 8295 screen, Momenta highway L2+ assistance and Baidu and ByteDance AI infotainment, as Hyundai targets 20 electrified models and 500,000 annual Chinese sales by 2030.POLESTAR CLAIMS UNEQUAL US TREATMENTPolestar has accused the US Commerce Department of "disparate treatment" after a June 24 denial blocked its American sales from model year 2027, noting that Volvo — which shares Chinese majority owner Geely and builds the Polestar 3 on the same South Carolina line — was authorised earlier in 2026. In an Aug. 18 letter, Peter Wexler said the 13-month review dismissed mitigation offers including audits, cybersecurity reviews and removal of China links from data management, despite officials indicating in January and April that approval was likely; dealers have called the outcome devastating, with a New Jersey group suing for $25 million over an allegedly concealed US withdrawal.DUTCH PLUG-IN MARKET FAVOURS RICH HOUSEHOLDSStatistics agency CBS found that the Netherlands' shift to electric cars has mainly benefited wealthy households, with the top-earning 10% buying almost 75,000 of the roughly 259,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars traded in 2025 and the top 20% accounting for nearly half. The lowest-earning 10% bought about 6,000, or 2%, and two-thirds of cars bought by the poorest fifth were over a decade old, prompting a €52 million, three-year subsidy scheme from the final quarter of 2026 for lower- and middle-income buyers of second-hand EVs who scrap older petrol or diesel vehicles.MERCEDES CLA ELECTRIC COVERS 385 MILES AT 70 MPHThe dual-motor 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4MATIC Electric covered 385 miles in a constant-speed 70 mph range test on 19-inch wheels, exceeding its 312-mile EPA Combined rating by 73 miles, or 23%, with 2 miles remaining at 0% charge. Consumption of 225 Wh per mile implied 86.6 kWh used against an 85-kWh net battery, with the result credited to the 800-volt Mercedes Modular Architecture and a two-speed rear-motor transmission of the type that has also helped Porsche and Audi models beat their ratings.OPEL SETS 2028 DATE FOR ELECTRIC CORSAOpel CEO Florian Huettl has pushed the all-electric Corsa successor from 2027 to 2028, moving the brand's best-seller onto Stellantis' STLA Small platform as a battery-electric-only model with bigger batteries, more range and prices from €25,000, against the current e-CMP Corsa Electric's 46-49 kWh battery, 429 km claim and €30,440 starting price. Huettl cited improving range, charging and fuel costs rather than any fixed date to end combustion engines, and Opel will still deliver the e-CMP-based Corsa GSE, capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds, to dealers this year.ROME BACKS ELECTRIC AND HYDROGEN BUSESRome will spend €117 million from Italy's infrastructure ministry on new buses through operator ATAC, split between €83.6 million for hydrogen models and €27.1 million for battery-electric ones plus depot upgrades, though neither quantities nor manufacturers have been named. A further €6 million in European funding will build a green hydrogen hub using local electrolysis at ATAC's Acilia site, complementing a charge introduced in July 2026 for EVs entering a restricted central zone that takes about 50,000 cars a day against a designed capacity of 20,000.SUZUKI PLANS VISION E-SKY EUROPE EXPORTSuzuki intends to export its Vision e-Sky electric microcar from Japan, with Europe possible in 2027 and the UK and Italy under review at an expected UK price below £20,000, ahead of a Japanese world premiere in autumn and production at a plant southwest of Tokyo. Based on Japan's kei-car class and targeting 310 km of range with likely LFP cells from BYD's corporate network, it would be Suzuki's first battery-electric kei car and reportedly the first exported almost unchanged, offering growth potential after European sales fell 15% to 187,000 in the year to March.MEXICO ELECTRIFIED SALES RISE AS PRODUCTION FALLSMexico sold 95,037 electrified vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 44% year on year for a 12.6% market share, led by Toyota in conventional hybrids and boosted by expanding Chinese brands, while charging points reached 60,934 and 170 electrified models are now offered. Production moved the other way, falling to 47,411 units from 110,002 a year earlier as weaker US demand cut Equinox output by 81.6% and Blazer output by 80%, prompting the Electro Mobility Association to call for policies supporting both electrification and domestic manufacturing.ELECTRIC MOTORHOME USES EVOLVE PLATFORMCityFreighter, Vöhringer and Motive Development have unveiled an electric motorhome demonstrator for Europe's 4.25-tonne Class B category, built on CityFreighter's Evolve skateboard with a Vöhringer AIRPLY lightweight interior and coming in under 3.5 tonnes complete with kitchen, bathroom and heat pump, leaving about 750 kg of payload. Its 128-kWh battery gives roughly 400 km of range, supports vehicle-to-load and charges from 10-80% in about 20 minutes at up to 200 kW, while independent battery replacement and upgrades are pitched as protecting residual value in vehicles that often stay in service for decades.
Money, fame, and abs buy admiration, not intimacy. How to Feel Loved author Sonja Lyubomirsky reveals the five mindsets that make you feel loved.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1373What We Discuss with Sonja Lyubomirsky:Being loved and feeling loved are two different things. Surveys found 70 percent of people can name a close relationship where the love just isn't landing. Someone can adore you completely, but if it never clears your firewall, you can feel utterly alone in a room full of people who care.The fix isn't becoming more lovable or overhauling your partner — it's changing the next conversation. A relationship is really just a series of conversations, which means feeling more loved is far more under your control than the entire self-help aisle wants you to believe.Money, status, and six-pack abs buy admiration, not intimacy — and admiration never makes anyone feel known. Optimizing your dating life like you're shopping for a used Porsche, chasing the mythical 'four sixes,' only builds a more elaborate CAPTCHA for loneliness.The five love languages are closer to pop theology than science. Researchers debunked the idea that partners must 'match' or the relationship is doomed. There are far more than five ways to connect, and the two everyone actually craves are simply quality time and words of affirmation.If you don't feel loved, go first. Get curious, listen to learn instead of to reply, share, and lead with warmth. Text that old friend, ask your parents real questions, break out the conversation cards. Connection is a skill, and every small drop counts.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Episode 4127: Emily Guy Birken has wanted the same 1970s Porsche 911 since she was fourteen, and the research suggests she is happier for never having bought it. She explains habituation, why experiences outperform objects, and why many small bursts of joy add up to more happiness than one enormous one. It makes a genuinely frugal case for window shopping as free retail therapy. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ptmoney.com/window-shopping/ Quotes to ponder: "Once you own something, you get used to it." "We are all looking for the next new thing to want, and if we have the money, each purchase will simply give us a momentary high before the cycle begins again." "Basically, I've gotten a great deal more pleasure out of twenty years of lusting after a car than I would ever be able to experience by buying it."
