Driving With The High-Tech Texan - Car Reviews

Truck time!  Hear my thoughts and impressions as I recently rolled around for a week in Chevy's new Silverado Crew truck.

Vegas had a betting line as to whether the Tokyo Olympics would be canceled.  I was tempted.  But if you think are watching the games in 4K you may be mistaken.  I'll tell you how to do that (if you really want to).

Summer doldrums continue but if you have $200k you could pop up into "space" with your fave millionaire.  Would you do it for free?

It's pronounced "four-by-e" and it is a sharp PHEV.  Take a listen.

After a week driving around in the new BMW x5 45e plug-in electric hybrid, Michael gives his thoughts on why it is one of the nest SUVs on the road now.  And how 'bout that 50 MPGe?

Richard Branson shoots into semi-space this weekend a few days ahead of Jeff Bezos.  Where the hell is Elon Musk during all of this?

Amazon Prime Day 2021 has come and gone and, anecdotally, one of the quietest ones I remember.  Not a lot of chatter from friends, followers, or my fellow media members.  Did you buy something that you thought was "such a deal"?  Receive it and now want to return it?  

I also just deleted my Microsoft Edge browser after many years and download an incredibly fast and secure browser.  Tune in to learn more. 

There are many gifts you can buy at the last-minute from e-gift cards to celebrity video shout outs.  Let's run down some of the things you can get dad since you waited to the last day.  Also, watch out for Amazon Prime Day scams - not all deals are great.

Jeff Bezos gifted his brother a seat on the very first Blue Origin flight into space.  Why not...he owns the company.  Interestingly enough another seat on the inaugural launch next month was auctioned off for $28 million.  Would you fly into space on an inaugural flight or wait until they get a few under their belt.

This hot topic plus Elon Musk's (speaking of space flight) newest Tesla reveal and, yes, I actually talk about Apple and it's upcoming operating system.

(and really, does this photo NOT look like an Austin Powers movie poster?!)

I do like the Subaru brand as it means rugged, outdoorsy (is that a word?), efficient, yet practical.  Listen here as I yap about my week in the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek CUV.
