[No. 039] Baby You Can Drive My Car

I’ll lead with some boring housekeeping notes. I’m still working out some kinks in the newsletter, since moving to Mailchimp. Namely:

The newsletter shows up suuuuuper wonky in Outlook. I have no idea why, but I’m working to figure it out.
A lot of people are finding the newsletter go to their “Promotions” or even Spam folders in Gmail. Again, I don’t know exactly what I can do on my end to change that. But, again, I’m looking into it.

OK, how about for some fun stuff, now?

Do you like red wine? I do! Do you fear tannin teeth, Malbec mouth, or whatever you call the wine stains on your teeth? Say hello to Wine Wipes. You can get me some for my birthday (next month!)
Actually, the thought of using any "wipes" inside my mouth is p gross. Do NOT get me Wine Wipes. Just get me wine.
The inimitable site Atlas Obscura (shout out to Seth) is crowdsourcing a map of the best/worst pun business names across the country. If you know of any, please contribute. Off the top of my head, in the Detroit area, I can only think Canine to Five, but I knowwwww they’re out there.
Do you use Dubsmash? Are you a celebrity that lip syncs in candid and ‘authentic’ moments to your fans and followers on social media? Well you suck.
LOL at the article I linked to above, written by Dave Holmes. Remember him? He was the kind chill, portly bro who was an MTV VJ? Those were the times.
OK! Today, we have a couple really awesome articles on the future of cars (Uber is taking over public transportation but also holy shit, cars are about to change!), you don’t need to drink 8 glasses of water a day (just drink beer!), your late night Taco Bell runs might be even worse for your health than you thought (but man, those Queseritos, amirite!), and some lovely, lovely music (August playlist and Motown!). Dig in!

Do you at least kind of like this newsletter? Use the magical buttons above to tell a friend (or two)!
