Automotive

Alright, let’s talk cars! As an industry analyst, I spend a lot of time poring over numbers, trying to figure out what’s what in the automotive world. But honestly, it’s more than just spreadsheets and sales figures to me. It’s about understanding what you, the consumer, are looking for and what brands are actually delivering. This past year, 2025, was a bit of a comeback party for car sales. We saw over 16 million vehicles roll off lots in the US, the best we’ve seen since 2019.

I’m Mike Johnson, and I’ve spent the better part of a decade dissecting industries. But away from the spreadsheets, my passion (and sometimes my headache) has been transforming my own living space. Over the years, I’ve tackled everything from a full kitchen gut to coaxing life back into a leaky old bathroom. And trust me, we’ve all been there with home repairs – that moment when you realize a “quick fix” is actually a multi-weekend odyssey. Every homeowner learns, sometimes the hard way, that a little foresight goes a long way. ...

But today, I want to talk about something far more personal – the joy (and sometimes, the headache!) of making our homes truly ours.
