Weekly Roundup: Down By The Seaside Edition

Even in a season of busy weeks, this has been one to remember. Next week won't be any less hectic; as some of you correctly predicted, my A/C unit is shot thanks to cracks in the copper pipes.

So let's all get clicking on the stuff I wrote this week so I can cover at least a minor percentage of what a new Trane is going to cost, okay?

Bark had a chance to write about the Ford Flex and explain the origin story of most used cars.

I had four articles for R&T: I enraged the "W124 mafia", looked at the bright side of distracted driving, offered some advice to new-helmet buyers, and compared the Fiesta ST to the BMW E30 M3.

The biggest thing that I wrote for TTAC this week was obviously the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider review, but I also discussed independent leasing agents and what happens when a mass transit provider asks riders to stay away.

No wonder that at the end of the week I abandoned Ohio like a sinking ship and ran to the West Coast to watch the sun set from behind the wheel of a truly bad-ass Mustang. Stick around; next week I'll have a full review of that for you, as well.
