Hi folks!๐Ÿ‘‹

As many of you know, weโ€™re moving back to the US after more than 7 years in the Netherlands. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑโžก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Before I go, I wanted to reflect on just how much living here has shaped me as a car enthusiast. Looking back, I realize how lucky I was to call Europe home and experience so many incredible roads, cars, and people along the way.

If youโ€™ve followed my channel over the years, this oneโ€™s for you.๐Ÿ‘‡

The Euro touring wagon finally has rear-seat occupancy.

Permanently.

Itโ€™s now officially a Dad Wagon, and I wouldnโ€™t have it any other way. ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿผ

Do you think wagons are the perfect family car? Or is it time to get an SUV??

A bunch of you have seen the Beetle in Florida and the 3-series wagon in Amsterdamโ€ฆ but ever wonder why I own two cars on two continents? ๐Ÿ‘€

Big news: the USโ€“EU trade deal might finally open the door for Americaโ€™s forbidden fruit cars ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿš˜
๐Ÿ’ก Imagine: fewer barriers, more cars crossing the Atlantic, and maybe even the end of the 25-year import rule someday.

M3 Touring in the US, anyone? ๐Ÿ‘€

As someone who daily drives a 330i Touring in the Netherlands, I had to write about what this might mean for enthusiasts like us.

I tried something new and posted my thoughts here, with the help of ChatGPT of course ๐Ÿ™ƒ

๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ธ If youโ€™re new hereโ€”yes, I really did import a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis from Florida to the Netherlands back in 2022.

It was wild, expensive, and totally worth it for the story alone.

I just published a full blog post breaking down a little more more of my additional thoughts and why I did it in the first place.
๐Ÿ‘‰ The car was even featured in an article on The Drive!

๐Ÿš— Driving in Amsterdam: wild ride or total nightmare?

Driving here isโ€ฆ an experience ๐Ÿ˜… Between ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ 10,000 bikes per block, ๐Ÿš‹ stealthy trams, and ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ parking spots that vanish into thin air, Iโ€™m making a video to help people survive the roads (or avoid them entirely ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

๐Ÿ’ฌ How should drivers pay for the roads they use?

๐Ÿš— Taxes or ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ Tollsโ€”whatโ€™s the better option? Taxes spread the cost to everyone, while tolls make drivers pay directly for what they use, and when they use it!.

Whatโ€™s your take? Are tolls fairer, or should road costs come from taxes?
Letโ€™s talk about itโ€”watch the video here: ๐Ÿ‘‡
