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.

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

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.

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.
