I’ve got entirely too many browser tabs open so let’s review some of them:

• This little QuadLock CarPlay USB dongle looks pretty slick; it’s small, it supports more than one phone, and it would remove at least one of the cords in the new Honda. I’m also considering installing an OEM wireless charging pad, but Honda is selling those for $230, so I’m holding off on that for now.
• Truck nerds only: Truck Town is a 3-hour documentary on the IH plant in Fort Wayne produced by PBS. I’m only an hour in and I find it pretty fascinating.

• The Autopian reported yesterday that a private equity firm bought the Pick and Pull business from LKQ, who have spent the last ten years consolidating all of the locally owned yards around the country. Private equity never means anything good.
• Driven to Write is another car-based website with independent contributors. They ran a great feature on Briggs Cunningham, a wealthy motorsport enthusiast and car builder. I’m looking forward to the second half.
