This is interesting. I'm the General Manager, Sales Manager, and Service Manager at my family's dealership, which is ranked as one of the largest Volvo dealers in the country. We've been here since 1959. Oh, and I also race cars. If you want tips, recommendations, or have general car buying and service questions, or motorsport questions, follow me, as I'll be posting daily. Car buying should be fun. We are a "technology first" dealership, ensuring a more modern and digital retail experience, and I believe more dealerships can and should update their business to more innovative technology. Anyone have a question? Comment? Car dealership story they want to share?
If you want to get rich on X, it isn't going to be through creator revenue or meme coins. Instead, think about one subject matter that you know more about than anyone else in the world. It can be anything: plumbing, menswear, Indian food, furniture, social apps, whatever. Post one unexpected insight you picked from your experience in that area. Keep it under 5 sentences. Do this every day for 6 months. If you stick to it, we will promote your account to others. By the end, you will be recognized as the world's leading expert in that subject area and you can charge whatever you want for endorsements, your time, or whatever. And no one will be able to take that way from you.

Simple and true
Things that quietly change your life: 1. Reading the Bible daily   2. Tracking every dollar   3. Lifting weights 3–4x a week   4. Eating dinner as a family   5. Saying “I love you” out loud   6. Going to bed on time   7. Automating investments 8. Limiting screens for the kids   9. Praying with your spouse   10. Showing up consistently

The 2026 racing season wasn’t what I had hoped for it to be, but the year has been challenging yet rewarding anyway. I had originally hoped to be racing in @IMSA Weathertech GTD or Michelin Pilot Cup GS, but ultimately chose @JTRMotorsports for being the best team I've ever driven for, and in the @MazdaMX5Cup for its serious competition, challenge, and importantly, the ability to promote our Mazda dealership. I’m at a different point in my life where racing is no longer a mission to make a living from it, but is now something far more important and valuable; time I get to share and enjoy with my wife and daughters at the track. @RoadAtlanta is a fun and challenging track, and the Petit Le Mans weekend always creates an incredible atmosphere of both teams and fans. The 2026 event was no different, but included an added bonus of having my wife and daughters there to share it with, and my oldest daughter, Claire, making the early morning trips to the track when it’s still dark! Thanks to my older daughter, Claire, for being such a great racetrack companion. This is a more difficult series than I think most people realize, and if you’re not in it all year, a top 10 result is not easy. P20 in Race 1, and P11 in Race 2. This series has a habit of humbling you as a driver, but I enjoy the challenge at this point in my racing life. Thanks to my wife, @blue_elle for her constant support and making sure I stay grounded at all times. Jess is the foundation of our family and makes each one of us be the best version of ourselves, and when we’re not, we are politely reminded. I don’t know what next year’s racing will be yet, potentially MPC, maybe MX-5 Cup again, but whatever it is, I can’t wait to be on track and to share more time with family. Thanks be to God for this opportunity and for the support and love of my family.

I'm a customer and a fan, incredible Motorsport art!
And that’s a wrap on @imsa_racing posters for another year! It’s been an incredible experience working with the team who have shown this Englishmen nothing but support and creative freedom from across the pond. Whatever 2027 should bring, I’ll see you at Rolex!

Ha, she should talk! These entitled EIFs think they are the authority. They’re certainly entitled to their opinion, but their arrogance of righteousness is embarrassing. @elonmusk is a citizen, @zannymb is supposed to be a “trusted media expert.”

AI is changing what customers expect from the first dealership interaction. @JamesonRiley, General Manager at @rileyvolvo, explains why *natural* conversation and fast human follow-up have to work together. "The customer gets instant, instant answers from something, and a quick follow-up from a real person."

This is the first real-world use example I can think of that justifies the Apple Vision Pro
iRacing is thrilled to announce the iRacing Connect app for Apple Vision Pro is now available on the App Store. The app facilitates connections between the world’s premier motorsport simulation and Apple Vision Pro, bringing the thrill of sim racing to an exciting new platform.

Incident on track, immediate FCY 💪
Very glad to see this. Any notion of the fairness of the timing of a FCY is utterly nebulous and entirely subjective.

Deserved, one of the coolest talents to watch in motorsport right now
I'm incredibly proud to share the news that I will be part of Porsche Penske Motorsport's full season lineup in 2027! Ever since I joined the team at the end of last year, I knew where I wanted to end up competing for the biggest victories in sportscar racing. To work with such a talented and dedicated group of people has not only made me a stronger driver, but also a more complete person - and I can't wait for more of that! I want to thank Porsche for bringing me up their ladder since my very early days as well as Team Penske, Roger and everyone involved for their trust. This one means a lot. #Porsche #RACEBORN #TeamPenske #IMSA @PorscheRaces
