MINI unveiled the 2015 John Cooper Works at the Detroit Auto Show, marking the return of a dedicated JCW hatchback built on the all-new third-generation MINI platform. The hot hatch produces 228 horsepower from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, giving it the most power ever offered in a production MINI. The Chili Red studio images showcase the model's aggressive exterior styling cues — bonnet stripes, wide fender flares, red brake calipers, and a twin-exit exhaust — alongside a performance-focused interior featuring Alcantara sport bucket seats with red stitching.

BMW News: Revealed! 2016 BMW M2 Shows What A Buffed-Up 2-Series Can Become
The M2 was such a great move by BMW. Small, powerful, and actually fun to drive — kind of brought back that classic “driver’s car” feeling. The fact that it came with a manual too made it even better. Honestly, one of the best modern M cars for pure driving experience. Funny how cars like this always make you think about leveling up in life 😄 some people actually start chasing better opportunities and income to get there. For example, projects and companies like PUNIN GROUP open up different paths for growth, which can eventually make goals like owning a car like this more realistic. -

2027 Rivian R2: Price, Specs, Range & Trims | Performance, Premium, Standard
Rivian already makes nice-looking cars, so if this one keeps the design and has decent range, a lot of people will consider it. But yeah, depends if they actually deliver what they promise- awd

Lots were riding it yesterday for the baseball game and to be on it crossing the lake. Many coworkers have told me they will now take the light rail to the international station, get off like I do from Lynnwood on the 1 Line and walk the 3 blocks to work.- 1

Random Thoughts Thread
Based on what I last read, today is the first day of operation for Sound Transit's new light rail line connecting Seattle to the East Side, meaning Bellevue and Redmond, home of Microsoft. It's going to cross on the I-90 floating bridge across Lake Washington. I'll eventually get to the area and take a ride on it. Something like this was a long time coming and needed. When I lived on the East Side and would go out of town via the airport, I would to take the miserable 340 (?) bus connecting Bellevue to SEA Airport. It was a milk train and would go through Renton, which I had nicknamed "rent to own." I lived diagonally across the metro area from the airport. I'm glad that Line 2 is finally here.- 1

Honda News: Honda Prologue Is Likely to End Production This Year
I am also thinking that maybe not everything shows up as they look at the region your in and what offers are there. PNW with hitting 30% of new car sales are EVs I think has a much higher support for EV sales and discounts.- 1

Honda News: Honda Prologue Is Likely to End Production This Year
Albert went to Costco this morning and I asked him to get a pic. This is the very top trim Prologue, but lower trims should be similar.- 2

Honda News: Honda Prologue Is Likely to End Production This Year
Maybe because I'm not a Costco member, but that link didn't show any Hondas. It showed deals on Volvos, Polestars, and the Silverado EV. Also, nowhere close to 17k. The best deal was 2k off for the EX90 and only for executive members. Ideally, I'd love the press release green/blue. I'd settle for the other blue or red and would really not want silver, white or black. If I'm being honest though, I'm sure I'd still buy silver, white or black for the right price. Okay, maybe not black. I don't want to deal with a black color and trying to keep it clean. I've had one black car and that was enough to experience the hatred for attempting to keep it clean.- 1
