Three words: Made in America. We Americans carry quite a bit of national pride when it comes to our homegrown car manufacturers, be they Fords, Chevys, or Mopar. On this, the fourth day of the month of July, we celebrate American independence. Given the current political climate, however, I know why I’m not feeling very patriotic, but it turns out our American car companies aren’t very patriotic either.

Following that, in July 2024, Japan’s Digital Agency declared it had successfully abolished 1,034 regulations governing the use of floppy disks.

Around 10 years ago now, I was driving a second-generation (R56) Mini Cooper S. It was an absolute blast when it was running properly, which it almost never was. To this day, when one passes by and I hear the very distinct rattle from that 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, I can basically feel my bank account draining.
