Malvanladdar för besök på Ellery Beach House. Drinkar, middag, spa ... och kanske årets premiärdopp i havet? 😱

I asked Tom what this was all about and he said “Wendy (obviously) found a place that can make custom doll faces. She had it made then took the doll to Angie Packer who gave it the proper Johnny Thunderpants haircut/mullet (even though it’s a bit messed up in the photo). It was all done secretly.”
I was up at the farm on this day which happened to also be Wendy’s birthday.
I found this photo 9 years later in the folder and marvel at all the details.
19 years ago VW showed off the first concept for a reimagined Microbus. Road & Track has a great rundown of that revival with all the other concepts that followed over the years.
As long as I can remember I’ve dreamed of owning a VW bus… Traveling with laptop and camera, capturing the world, experiencing new places, visiting friends old and new.
Now that this electric ID. Buzz will soon be hitting dealership lots, I’m less gung-ho. Electric vehicles aren’t suited for road trips. I like having a toilet. And worst of all those horrible capacitive controls VW has been introducing (and subsequently phasing out).
But still, I gasped when rounding the bend and saw one IRL at the auto show.
It’s CHONKY. (It is a minivan after all.)
But it also has a vibe.
I’m starting to wonder… Once the infrastructure builds out, there are bound to be toilets near all those charging stations…
The rest of the auto show was filled with manufacturers chasing the SCREENS EVERYWHERE approach and it’s just so tiresome and unsafe.
Second best thing on the floor: The Hyundai Santa Fe update looks intriguing in its Land Rover Defender disguise.
Worst in show? The Nissan ARIYA climate “controls.”
