Vinfast VF8
Leased this car in November 2024 from Tomwood Vinfast. I had originally called them to enquire about Subaru's EV, and the salesman convinced me to take a look at this car insted for a better deal. And I did.
- Zero down.
- $343/Mo
- Insurance $855/6months = $142.5 = $485.5 (In comparison, my 2025 Mazda CX90 costs $482/6months )
If I drive thousand miles per month, I'm spending almost $2/mile, accounting for most of my EV charging happens at work.

A2A
Agent-to-Agent - A2A enables multiple agents to communicate, coordinate, and delegate tasks to each other, even if they come from different vendors or frameworks.
Key Components of A2A:
- Agent Card -- JSON File. lists agent's capabilities, endpoint URL, and authentication method.
- Task -- Unit of Work. Task has lifecycle:
submitted,working,completedoffailed - Message -- Structured communication between agents, exchanged within the context of a Task
- Part -- blocks within messages
- Artifact -- final result of a Completed Task, returned to client

MCP
Model Context Protocol - is designed to let a single agent securely access tools, APIs, and data sources in a standardized way.
On average, RAG, MCP, and NLWeb reach about 0.75 F1, while HTML stays near 0.67 and misses more. HTML agents also burn more compute, needing about 3x more tokens and 5x more time per task than others. So the study recommends RAG agents, often with GPT5 or cheaper GPT5 mini, and keeping HTML browsing only as backup. -- (Steiner et al. 2025)
