I bought this BMW 540i V8 six speed off Craigslist four years ago for $2500. It had a quarter million miles and I bought it on a whim. It didn’t take me long to figure out why E39s are so revered, and It’s been my daily driver ever since. I’m only the third owner and it has probably been driven most every day since new. Last night on the way home, it crossed 300,000 miles. The engine is still smooth as a turbine. – at Austin, TX

Hey @grok can you and your friends at @ChatGPT @claudeai and the others help out Racing Bulls with analyzing Liam Lawson's performance this season? Should take you just a few seconds instead of weeks.
Alan Permane gives a hint on Liam Lawson's future 👀

I really like Mark Reuss. A true car guy and sincere in his passion for the company he has worked at 40yrs.

Bravo @COTA the food for the Formula 1 journalists in the media center is excellent. #F1 #USGP

Why do we sacrifice our cherished Zilker park for weeks and this year months for someone else's profit? And during the nice fall time of year. Makes no sense.
Day 1 of ACL, and the green grass is already turning mud brown at Zilker Park. And there are five more days of music ahead, with tens of thousands of feet stoming on the park. Once the crowds are gone, restoring the lawn could take weeks, or even months.

My dad and I listened to many sports broadcasts together outside working on the ranch. The pickup truck with the AM radio turned up so we could hear it.
It may be a little self-serving, but listening to sports on the radio has a special place in our memories.

So cool the men’s bathroom at Garages of The Americas. Watch the race on TV built into the mirror.

.@JimFarley98 on when he realized @Ford's EV strategy had gone wrong: "When we ripped apart a Tesla with Doug Field (Ford's chief officer for EVs, digital, and design, formerly of Apple and Tesla). I was just absolutely flabbergasted." - @CARandDRIVER - caranddriver.com/features/a7…
