• Ferrari Friday | Red Car Friday has me reminiscing about one of my all time favorite cars & the day a very generous friend let me flog her a li’l bit (for the second time too!). WHAT. A. THING. That it’s fitted with F40-spec turbos & engine management may have helped it feel faster than I had expected... 🚗💨 On a side note, crazy to think that the GTO — even with upgraded performance — wouldn’t see which way the M5 I was driving went. That’s 30 years of progress, I suppose. But which one would you rather drive??? Exactly. ——————————————————— #ferrarifriday #ferrari #gto #ferrarigto #scuderiaferrari #beautifulcar #rossocorsa #redcar #bmw #m5 #mpower #i❤️cars

• Twin Thursday | So cool to reunite once again at the BMW Performance Center West with my younger, better looking twin brother from another mother, @samhurly recently — & with yet more badass BMW M Cars at our disposal. I’ve said it before, as much as I love cars for the many thrills & sensations they provide, I also love them for the people I’ve been lucky to meet through our shared appreciation & dedication to them. If you’d like to see how my talented friend expresses his love of cars, check out his work! ——————————————————— #twinthursday #twins #bmw #mpower #m5 #bmwperformancecenter #pcw #thermalclub #fastcars #playingwithcars #prodriver #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #workingforaliving #keephustling #blurringthelinebetweenworkandplay

• There’s a new Top Gear America, & once again I’m not one of the hosts 😐 If you’re keeping track (I know, no one is except me), that’s 3 times I’ve been considered by The-Powers-That-Be at the BBC to participate in one of their Top Gear franchises, & 3 times I haven’t gotten the gig. As before, it went pretty well & I was told it was a close call, but in the end, Jethro Bovington got the nod. Having been a fan since his days hosting Drivers Republic (back when I was hosting OnCars), & having seen his “chemistry test” a few weeks back before I had my own turn, I have to admit he did really well & is deserving of the job. But then again, so was my pal @micahmuzio ... And so was I. Actually, they tested some really well-qualified people, & the folks involved (from the BBC & MotorTrend) could not have been nicer or more supportive. Also awesome were Dax Shepard & Rob Corddry, the other two hosts, which bodes well for the show’s success. So despite the fact I didn’t get the job, I’m rooting for this new version to do well, & I’m already a fan. And no, that’s not the official logo 😜 ——————————————————— #notalwaysrainbowsandbutterflies #topgear #topgearamerica #keepingitreal #3strikesandyoureout #keepswinging #keepgettingup #perseverance #stayhungry #keephustling #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo
