Postponed image for driving post
Mar. 27th, 2025 09:07 amI considered this image for CityNerd warns 'The New USDOT Is Coming for Your "Woke" Projects,' a driving update on Throwback Thursday. Maybe next time.


Rejected video for new car post
Jan. 28th, 2025 11:48 pmI didn't get enough new information in this video to replace the one I used in CNBC asks 'Why Did Volkswagen Kill The Beetle?' A driving update.
Video for a postponed driving post
Oct. 18th, 2024 02:41 pmI was thinking of using this in today's post, but wrote Take 'A 538 Election Road Trip', a driving update instead.
Rejected video for driving update post
Mar. 25th, 2024 09:31 amI used a more recent video in CityNerd examines 'Why Americans Live So Far Away From Everything,' a driving update.
Missed video for driving update
Jan. 19th, 2024 03:58 pmI didn't see this in time to include it in Vox and CNBC explain 'Why Americans love' and 'are obsessed with big cars,' a driving update. Maybe next driving update.
A video I missed for Tesla recall post
Dec. 14th, 2023 08:35 amI wrote Tesla recalls 2 million cars because of autopilot issues, a driving update, last night, before NBC News posted this video to YouTube, so I missed it.
Happy Name Your Car Day
Oct. 2nd, 2023 07:11 pmI've named all my cars. I call my current one "The Black Pearl" after Jack Sparrow's ship.
This was too unfocused for me to include it in Five, now six, days of the UAW strike but it's still worth listening to.
Discarded video for UAW strike post
Sep. 15th, 2023 10:58 amI was going to use this as the final video in UAW goes on strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers, but reached a stopping point before where I was planning on embedding it, so it goes here.
Rejected video for Labor Day post
Sep. 4th, 2023 01:05 pmI used a longer, more recent video with a better preview image for The state of UAW negotiations for Labor Day 2023.
An image I need for my lectures
Aug. 29th, 2023 08:51 amI ran across this while researching CNBC asks 'Roundabouts Are Safer. So Why Does The U.S. Have So Few Of Them?' A driving update.


Rejected video for car safety post
Nov. 17th, 2022 10:14 pmWatching the first two videos I used in Apollo 15 and 16 and the Lunar Rover 50 years later for Moon Day 2022 reminded me of this video from Amy Shira Teitel of The Vintage Space.
By the time I got to the end of 'Teenage Dream' and 'The Lost Class' — two PSAs about gun violence nominated for Outstanding Commercial at the 2022 Emmy Awards, I didn't feeling like adding any more videos, so this one ended up here.
Rejected video for electric vehicle post
Aug. 6th, 2021 12:28 pmI decided against using the following video in Biden announces plan for half of vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030 because I thought it was a diversion. I just hope it doesn't become an "original snub."
Rejected video for chip shortage posts
May. 28th, 2021 12:14 pmI didn't use the following video in CNBC explains how the pandemic disrupted the microchip supply chain for automakers because it was from NBC not CNBC and WXYZ, WDIV, and WPTV report on the chip shortage and its effects on autos and appliances because I found a more current one from the same source.
