Following that appearance, Travis was famously seen driving the classic Chevrolet with Taylor riding shotgun

after signing up (Hey, I have a keen interest in this!) the reply is
Thanks for your interest in becoming a Founding Member of the Goodwood Road Racing Club of America. We’ll keep you updated.
then I kept scrolling, and found
they have a promo video on https://grrcamerica.com/membership-at-goodwood
So it looks like a private screening at Mann's Chinese Theater, or Willow Springs in July 9th, 2027
Three founding patrons: Sir Jackie Stewart, Mario Andretti and Richard Petty — who have each been central figures at Goodwood events for many years — have been chosen as the embodiment of the spirit that the GRRC of America will embrace.

A nuclear engineer raised in the big city miles from the nearest farm, rebuilt and modified a superb corral of classic Cub Cadet tractors, and garnered 5.5 million views on YouTube
“The components were rugged, and that’s why they’re still in use today,” Smith describes. “They have a differential transmission that’s equal to an automobile transmission in terms of its size and construction. They’re not built like a lawnmower. As opposed to lawn tractors, Cub Cadets were called garden tractors, and the name tells the true difference.”
“In about 2010, I started buying and restoring tractors. I got on the internet and saw a lot of modified Cub Cadets, and I got really interested in a guy who built a motor grader. By that point, the internet had reached the place where you could get all the DIY needed to learn. I kinda dove in. I’d taken wood and metal shop class in high school, but now I could watch videos of guys cutting metal and welding, and copy what I saw.”
a 12-year-old from outside Nashville, Tennessee, invented the "EZ Baby Saver," in hopes that it would help parents remember that they've left their children strapped in a car seat. The contraption won him a runner-up prize of $500 at the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors.
Dozens of children die every year after being left in an automobile –- and one 12-year-old Tennessee boy did his part to end that.
A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing United Airlines of charging passengers for window seats that lacked actual windows. A passenger said they were charged extra for a window that didn't exist.
A California judge denied United Airlines' request to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed against the airline last year by a passenger alleging that the airline knowingly charged them extra for a window seat that didn’t actually have a window.
United defines a window seat to mean a location relative to the aisle and not a literal seat next to a window, according to the court filing.
However the judge said the passenger’s claims are plausible as the airline's booking page and boarding pass identify the seats as window seats, and United’s contract of carriage incorporates the “terms and conditions printed on or in any ticket.”
