The Art of Success

Once you are greatly successful, people will talk about how successful they always knew you would be rather than how crazy you were. -Grant Cardone

2/16/2026

Just Thinking: Who dreams about exotic cars anymore? Enthusiasts want exceptional design and engineering as a daily driver. That puts GM in a great position to go higher with cars like the Cadillac Celestiq and Chevrolet Corvette and leverage their engineering and design to bring luxury and performance to a greater number of people. Seems like a good strategy to me.

Chevy Blazer: "The 2027 Chevy Blazer will be more or less a transitional model year. Bigger changes are expected once production moves to Tennessee. The 2028 model year will likely bring either a next-generation redesign or a significant mid-cycle refres." Surprised this is a mystery. Fingers crossed for a more inspired design.

Dodge commercial "Misfits" has dark urban cinematic vibe. Reminds me of the movie "In Time" (2011) written, co-produced, and directed by Andrew Niccol, and starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried as the main characters. Best car movie for sci-fi and Dodge fans.

F1 Driver Checo Pérez Stars In First 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V Ad, but it's in Spanish. The storyline is Checo Drives so fast the film crew can't keep up. The ad was shot in Pérez’s hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, as part of the vehicle’s launch campaign in that market. The personalized plates "F1CP11" would probably be F1 Checo Pérez #11 (and also Cadillac is the 11th Team). F1 drivers keep their numbers across teams and seasons, making it part of their personal brand.

The Ford Mustang Mach-e is getting more interesting to me. It’s interesting because it seems Chevrolet is not going for the performance crossover space and rumors about a Corvette crossover seem dead. I think now is the time for Ford to take advantage of the vacuum and the product they already have and own the performance crossover coupe segment. More thoughts here:

The Fujifilm X-M5 announced today (10/14) has a flip out screen. This camera caters to videographers who love v-logging and vertical orientation shooting. My opinion: For photography, stick with the X100VI.

10/11/2024

Fujifilm X-M5 (coming Oct. 14) The lightest model in the current X series. Equipped with advanced features for both stills and video. Enjoy shooting every day with ease. Sounds interesting, but they're making it a hybrid camera. This is just a bad idea that keeps going.
