Hi Folks! ๐๐ฝ
Does your car have a spare tire? They're very uncommon these days on newer vehicles and so I wrote another blog post about the death of the spare tire ๐

The Euro touring wagon finally has rear-seat occupancy.
Permanently.
Itโs now officially a Dad Wagon, and I wouldnโt have it any other way. ๐ถ๐ฝ๐ง๐ฝโ๐ผ
Do you think wagons are the perfect family car? Or is it time to get an SUV??
Let me know below!๐

I tried something new and posted my thoughts here, with the help of ChatGPT of course ๐

๐๐ธ If youโre new hereโyes, I really did import a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis from Florida to the Netherlands back in 2022.
It was wild, expensive, and totally worth it for the story alone.
I just published a full blog post breaking down a little more more of my additional thoughts and why I did it in the first place.
๐ The car was even featured in an article on The Drive!

๐ฌ How should drivers pay for the roads they use?
๐ Taxes or ๐ฃ๏ธ Tollsโwhatโs the better option? Taxes spread the cost to everyone, while tolls make drivers pay directly for what they use, and when they use it!.
Whatโs your take? Are tolls fairer, or should road costs come from taxes?
Letโs talk about itโwatch the video here: ๐

Last year, I drove around NYC and talked a bit about the proposed congestion tax for drivers (a first for any US city).
The congestion tax officially goes into effect today and it will be interesting to see how Americans react to this, given that similar systems are already in place in some European cities (London being one of them)!
