We now officially have a new Pope. After watching the Catholic Church “conclave”–or the gathering of the Cardinals–I was waiting in traffic behind a Buick. I thought, “Wait, what does the Enclave SUV’s name actually mean?”“Enclave” is a truly bizarre name for a car. It’s most often used to refer to one country that is fully surrounded by another country. There are very few of these on the planet. But to return to the Pope, Vatican City is technically an enclave inside of Italy.

If you’re in the market for a used Porsche 911, now might be the perfect time to pounce. Just two years ago, used car prices were so wacky that the average 2019 Porsche 911 was reselling for above what’s it MSRP had been when new. But the market’s corrected and it looks like the same Porsche’s price has plunged $24k in just two years. Bad news if you own one, but great news if you’re in the market. The COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine, one after the other, disrupted the automotive supply chain.

Pilots Robert Timm and John Cook set a wild record in 1959. They climbed aboard a Cessna 172 in December 1958, then spent the next 64 days and 22 hours circling Nevada and California. They finally landed in February 1959, setting a world record that’s stood for 60+ years. And for good reason, the feat pushed their airplane–and bodies–to the absolute limit. So how the heck do you keep a Cessna 172 in the air for over two months?

Ford is headed north. Ram’s headed south. With two announcements within a month, it looks like Detroit trucks are headed straight for the border. Ford’s F Series used to be the last of the Detroit trucks fully assembled in the U.S. Not anymore. For 2026, Ford announced it’ll build Super Duty pickups in Oakville, Ontario—joining current plants in Kentucky and Ohio. Oakville was originally getting retooled for EVs after Edge and Nautilus production ended, but now it’s pivoting to trucks.

Ford says it doesn’t sell your driving data to companies like LexisNexis or Verisk. Sounds nice, right? Except when you realize the company’s actual privacy documents let them track everything from your braking habits to your ethnicity—and send it to a wide circle of “partners,” from ad agencies to SiriusXM. Ford told investors it “does not sell any connected vehicle data to brokers, period.” This was a great statement to drum up applause. But it’s in now way legally binding.
