Koopa's first hike! Well, the first not in our woods, anyway. He unsurprisingly loved it. Maybe a little too much. We gotta work on that leash discipline.
Spending a week with this charmingly canary yellow Volvo EX30. Will be putting it through its paces, even even doing a little testing with the pup. I'd all goes well I'll do a little video with it before it turns into a pumpkin. What would y'all like to know?
I know I'm late to the party but I just managed to catch Together the movie before it disappeared from my local theater. I really enjoyed it. Bigtime Cronenberg vibes with a hint of Lovecraftian overtones. If that sounds like a good time, go check it out.
I'm tardy in sharing this from this past weekend, but my latest feature for @arstechnica is a ride on the electric Stark Varg EX. It's incredibly powerful and wildly capable, yet still needs a little more time in the oven before it's ready for the masses.

The electric Stark Varg EX is brutally fast but a little too unrefined
This all-electric enduro monster needs a little more time in the oven.
I had always hoped that hybrids would be a brief, transitional phase. Turns out they’re going to be here for awhile, and with examples like these, I can get behind that.
Check out my impressions of the BMW M5, Porsche 911 GTS, and Lamborghini Temerario.

Three bonkers hybrids that rocked my world this week
Plus, impressions of Audi's latest E-Trons
The Huracan was the first Lamborghini I ever drove, and so it's always had a special place in my heart. I was a bit nervous in testing its replacement, the Temerario. Being bigger and heavier and losing that V10 has to be a downgrade, right?
Wrong. It's epic.

Lamborghini's 2025 Temerario is 907-hp hybrid heaven
With a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors, Lambo's latest is a masterpiece.
Greetings from Estoril in Portugal. It's Lamborghini Temerario day! Amazing to be at such a historic circuit. I remember watching many epic F1 battles in the early '90s here on TV. Today should be pretty epic too.
Such an amazing collection of cars at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Picking my favorites was so hard that even the Red Bull RB17 didn’t make the cut!

The coolest cars that caught my eye at Goodwood, plus a few more
This year's Hillclimb was happening
Wrapping up a day spent testing the new @audiusa A6 and S6 Sportback E-Tron Quattros. (Or is it E-Trons Quattro?) As per usual I can't tell you what I think just yet, but until I can I hope you enjoy these pictures of the beautiful terrain around Santa Barbara.
