QOTD: Who's Next for NACS?
Myself and a few other journalists were talking shop over lunch today and one of us wondered which automaker would be next to adopt the North American Charging Standard for electric vehicles. The same standard developed and used by Tesla.
Nissan jumped on the bandwagon last week.
So, B and B, who's next?

QOTD: Autocrossing
I head to Los Angeles today for a press drive that will include some autocrossing.
I, personally, am not a fast autocrosser. Sometimes I'm a bit too conservative, strategy-wise, and other times I push a little harder but I don't balance the car well enough to walk the fine line between being aggressive and sliding off course and killing cones -- and thus, one's time.
Still, I enjoy it.

QOTD: Learning How to Drive
Watching NASCAR's race at Atlanta last night, I started thinking about how the manual transmissions on the next-gen cars are sequential and that the drivers don't need to use the clutch pedal to shift. This led me down a mental rabbit hole to my youth and the first manual-transmission vehicles I remember driving -- farm tractors.
Bear with me -- I am going somewhere with this, I promise.

QOTD: Should Race Series Mix It Up?
I posted yesterday that in my opinion, NASCAR should continue to mix up the types of tracks it races on.

Yesterday we posted yet again about whether or not the long-rumored Apple car might or might not happen.

It's the day after the Fourth of July and we're all dragging a bit. So, what do you do to counteract the post-fireworks malaise?

QOTD: NASCAR Goes City
I will be leaving in a few minutes to head to downtown Chicago to work on our coverage of NASCAR's Grant Park 220 race. So, with that in mind, I have a question for you.

QOTD: Will New Product Boost Infiniti?
Scanning the news today, I came across a story about Infiniti's plans to unveil four new models, and while this could've been a standard news post, I decided it also worked as a QOTD.

QOTD: Missing Full Serve?
We reported yesterday on how Oregon is finally allowing drivers to use self-serve gas pumps.

With Washington State dethroning California as the state with the highest gas prices, I am wondering -- what are you seeing near you?
