☠ Local Motors has a special place in my heart and it’s sad to see it go. Its founder and CEO was an early participant in #carchat on Twitter and remains a visionary doer in the mobility space. The Rally Fighter especially will go down as a turning point in a new wave of coach building. (Really.)

🎧 A wide-ranging, must listen to podcast featuring Brian Scotto and for Collecting Cars. From his upbringing to the (fantastic) 0-60 mag and Hoonigan, it’s awesome to hear Brian talk about his perspective on media and cars. Lots to learn. And yes, Brian, some of us totally remember THAT drift from Gymkhana Practice.

“So…when did you first meet Ken Block?” – Chris Harris to Brian Scotto
