Okay, does this happen to anybody else?
You sit down with a juicy QPC, some McNuggets, and those golden fries from McDonald's.
Then you take a loooong sip of your sprite because you can still hear your mama saying
don't fill up on that drink before you eat your food, but you're grown now,
so you do what you want.
Share and share alike with the 20 piece McNuggets from McDonald's for just $6.

Volvo has begun production of the new ES90.
It's their saloon sedan, fastback.
They say it's got some SUV hints to it as well, look, you're not really know.
Maybe it sits a little bit higher with its seven inches or 18 centimetres of ground clearance,
but still it is a big Volvo saloon sedan.
Fastback though, so you can open up that boot and put the back seats flat.
It's got 680 horsepower in its top trim, 106 kilowatt hour battery, 800 volt architecture,
up to 350 kilowatt DC fast charging.
They say stop for 10 minutes and you'll add 186 miles.
Long vehicle, this five meters long, it's got LiDAR and loads of sensors, very, very safe.
Runs Google as well with Gemini, their AI, which I use quite a lot of because I pay for
the Google One package because of all the storage and stuff and it's very good.
And so looking forward to that vehicle, Mercedes has revealed the interior of the
new GLC ahead of the full launch soon.
It has a one meter wide or 40 inch wide hyperscreen, biggest screen they've put in a car.
That's a big old slab of glass.
South Korea is protesting the US.
The immigration officials raided a Hyundai site in Georgia yesterday and detained hundreds
of workers over the suspicion that they didn't have all the correct paperwork,
whether they were coming in for a business meeting and were not on the right kind
of visa waiver program or we don't know the immigration officials taking people away
in zip tied handcuffs.
South Korea dispatching the consoles and ministries from across the U.S.
to self a task force and deal with that BMWs.
I three has been previewed ahead of its launch yesterday.
We talked about the I X three, the I three is the new saloon three series.
And it looks really production ready, by the way.
Sweden's numbers for plugins were again really good.
60% last month in August.
Year to date, it's about 61%.
Sweden, not a massive car market in terms of the overall numbers,
but a really good EV very quickly following Norway.
In the UK, though, we are a big car market.
Almost 300,000 EVs have been sold so far this year.
Purebev share 26.5% now last month.
Year to date, it's about 22%.
And so, you know, 28% is the target that we're going for this year with our mandate.
And no one paid fines last year.
We got last year's in the books.
And so that's a big number.
And we said a lot of EVs here as well.
We also the government grant just kicked in.
So that's probably going to affect September's numbers.
Tesla's UK data was rebounding after a big July slump.
They need some good news and U.S.
sales appear according to unofficial data to also be good for August for Tesla as well.
Again, a company that's been just desperate for some good news headlines
after some 30, 40, 50% sales declines in some European countries.
Tesla's gig at Texas looks like it's going to be getting an onsite delivery centre.
That's really cool, actually, a dedicated customer delivery centre in Texas.
That would be amazing to get your vehicle from the factory,
especially for Tesla fans that want to make almost a pilgrimage
to go and see where the vehicle was made.
Rivian and VW, their software partnership is ramping up.
The joint venture is hiring in Toronto with new engineers working on the infotainment system.
The new Genesis GV90 is the big top end one, big SUV previewed by the Neolun concept
now being shown off at flagship stores like the Genesis house in New York City.
Porsche is going to offer wireless home charging 11 kilowatt charging pad
to buyers of the new Cayenne next year and it just sits on your garage floor.
The car lowers itself down and you charge automatically.
And Porsche EVs now get NACS or NACS straight 3400 supercharger access.
And native ports coming on the Cayenne next year.
Contact your dealership for an adapter and that's briefly.
Let's do the 60 second savings challenge.
Step one, download rocket money.
Step two, link your accounts and see every subscription you're paying for.
Tap one you don't use and cancel it.
That's money back every month.
Step three, create a financial goal.

In a week, you'll forget you set it up.
In a month, you'll see real dollars piling up.
In a year, you'll be shocked at how much money you've saved.
Bonus challenge, upload an internet or phone bill and let rocket money try to lower it.
