Long-time car designer now in charge of EV navigation for a tech company. Dutchie by choice. Passionate about cars, design, and the points where they intersect.
One thing that I now realize is that I’ve only owned one sedan (the Audi, my first car) and everything since then has had a hatch (wagon, hatchback, or SUV). In the US, that was no easy feat and definitely went against the grain!
By popular(ish) demand, 5 more:
1988 Audi 80 Quattro 20v (US model)
1997 VW Golf mk4
1998 VW Passat Variant
1999 Audi TT 1.8T Quattro
2005 Alfa Romeo 159 sportwagen
There are a lot of VW group products in my back catalog, with the vast majority being German and a couple Italians sneaking in!

Introduce yourself with 5 cars you’ve owned
1972 Alfa Romeo GTV
2001 MINI Cooper
2005 Mercedes A-Class
2009 BMW 330i Touring
2016 Skoda Yeti
A hard choice! I could do another 5 that are just as diverse.

Actually, in the 17th century, the French Academy of Science seriously considered the “demi-raisin sec” and the “grains de riz” as units of the metric system.
They were ultimately abandoned in favor of something not completely idiotic and arbitrary.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

That K-open and the Mazda X-Vision Compact (not pictured) make me very happy indeed. After Munich, I would argue auto shows might still have something to offer.
They say auto shows are dead, but the Japanese automakers disagree.

Sounds like an amazing way to disconnect and find some peace in our chaotic world. I’ve know Drew for years and he’s a master at creating space for people to open up and be themselves.
So, my friend Kalia (@tohirako.bsky.social) and I have built a thing we'd love to share with you.
It's called Seinoza, which is Japanese for "a place of stars".
What's the offer?
Small group pilgrimages through the quieter corners of Japan, starting in April '26.
Here's the back story:

This is super cool and love the Star Wars cantina aesthetic as much as anyone, but I can understand why this would not make for a pleasant airport experience. You’ve just spent 7 hours in a dark metal cylinder with 200 strangers, maybe low ceilings and brutalist seating aren’t the welcome you need.

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.
