Poor @chadfinn.bsky.social ! You probably saw that 20 point #Celtics lead disappear and thought, “That’s what I’m talking about!!” No tanking. How can you not really like this team!

Have you used #Turo before to rent a car? I rented a #Porsche for a weekend and wrote about it for @bostonglobe.com Travel section. Zoom, zoom, indeed www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/25/l...

The car-sharing app founded in Boston is designed to avoid rental lines and paperwork so you can drive the exact car you want. Like a Porsche Panamera.
