I'm good.

I had a bit of sleep after Car Week, but still kind of working through all the the backlogged of news and everything else it was such

a mega event and i know we're going to talk more about it today more more car week stuff and then

this morning i i just took delivery of a of a press car sort of the anti car week i they just delivered

ford ranger raptor oh i like that truck. I do. That's a nice, because it's not too big. It's a nice performance truck. It's fun. Yeah. I enjoy it. I think it's going to be fun. I got to go find some dirt. I turned up at a Lamborghini, not a Lamborghini. I'm going to talk about Lamborghini. I turned to put the McLaren party in Beverly Hills somewhere that I got it, like an owner's party that I happened to. Yeah. Blag an invite to, and I turned up in a Ranger Raptor, and I looked unique. Everybody else had Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Lamborghinis and McLaren, and I turned up in a Ranger Raptor. I look very cool. You know, it's interesting.

And I said, are we going to get, because at the time there was a rumor and there's sketches of like sort of an off road Mustang, just like a Porsche Dakar because he's going, I'm all in on Mustang. I want to develop that out like the

9-11 lineup, have different versions and then have a, you know, the GTD at the top of the chain.

And I said, what about an off-road version like a car? And he just said, yes. And then that was it.

Like, we didn't get into the details. I was like, huh, interesting. But now in recent interviews,

he was saying, he's saying

there potentially could be like an off-road supercar. I don't know if he means like a GTT, you know,

sort of a 300 plus thousand dollar version, but, uh, well, Ford's going back to dacar um and taking that quite
