The first-generation Flying Spur W12 was never built for second-owner budgeting and definitively not for the future owners of 2026. Twin-turbo W12, dense electronics, air suspension, it required a maintenance mindset aligned with its original price tag. Many buyers entered at a fraction of the new cost, believing they... show more

early X6 50i attracted buyers who wanted the badge and the presence of a V8 coupe-SUV, especially once prices dropped. The first owner understood it was a proper V8 just before the flagship. The second owner often saw it as a bargain performance SUV. That’s where the disconnect began. The N63 required proactive maintenance, heat management awareness, and proper servicing discipline. Many treated it like a normal BMW. It was never a normal BMW. Ownership demanded consistency and budget. When that discipline disappeared, the car’s reputation followed. Where the N63 was already a really problematic on its own, 80 % of these early examples at least have some internal issues or are broken.

A Volkswagen supercar was built, tested, and even broke records, but it never made it to production. VW created three W12 concepts the 1997 coupe, a 1998 roadster, and the 2001 W12 Nardo, named after the track where it would eventually make history. The original 5.6 liter W12 with 414 horsepower evolved into the 6.0 liter, 591 horsepower monster in the 2001 car. That Nardo prototype ran for 24 hours straight, covering 7,749 kilometers at an average of 200.6 mph and smashing five world records, twelve class records, and the overall 24 hour speed record. Why it never reached production is unclear. Most likely VW figured the market for a Volkswagen badged supercar was too small, and the technology was better used by Bentley and Audi instead.

"Coyote vs. Acme" director David Green says the cast and crew had a "funeral screening" when they thought the movie was shelved for good: “That screening for us was emotional in so many ways. It was a bit of a party because we were able to share the movie with friends and other filmmakers who had never seen the movie. And I got to share it with Will [Forte] and Lana, who never got to see the final movie. So that moment was so charged and electric, and the room played so hot.”

The Volkswagen Phaeton was VW trying to build a real flagship without excuses. It wasn’t positioned as a budget alternative, it was aimed directly at the BMW E65, Mercedes W220 S-Class, and Audi A8 D3. Even Lexus LS buyers were part of the target, with Cadillac DTS floating at the edges of the segment. The engineering was serious: refinement, complexity, and ambition far beyond what the VW badge suggested. And then it vanished. No successor, no continuation, because it was recieved as an expensive Passat, but the people who knew, it's actually a really really good luxury car. VW proved it could build a top-tier luxury car, then walked away as if the whole project never happened. This here is the 6.0 W12, the Phaeton of Phaetons.

They had to say goodbye to magnificent Glitterball. For those who have never heard of Glitterball, she was the granddaughter of the famous 1973 Kentucky Derby winner Secretariat. Glitterball was suffering from a metabolic condition that made it impossible for her to go on. The owners tried everything. The people and other horses who were close to her and loved her, are taking it hard.

A dresser in the Merchant's House Museum, built in 1832, has been discovered as a secret link to the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years. NY1 received an exclusive first look at the concealed passage, which runs from the second floor down to a pantry hideaway in the basement. The passageway had been known about for decades, but its purpose was unknown to historians. Museum researchers recently discovered that the builder of the Merchant’s House, Joseph Brewster, was a passionate abolitionist who built false floors in integrated abolitionist churches and created this route in his own home to aid freedom seekers.

Congratulations to the new owners of Tiger. For decades, this one-of-a-kind instrument has brought joy to the Grateful Dead community, and we’re glad to know it has found a home with someone who appreciates the magic Doug Irwin built so many years ago. More than anything, Tiger was made to roar. We hope it finds its way into the hands of those who will be good stewards of this music’s legacy. The true spirit of this guitar lives in the music it was built to create. May it continue to inspire curiosity, connection, and a little bit of wonder for years to come. – The Jerry Garcia Family

$Two air forces started the Pacific war. One trained its pilots, then kept them fighting until they died. The other trained its pilots, then often pulled many of its experienced combat pilots out to teach everyone else. This is one of the reasons America won the Pacific air war, let's dive in.. Japan's Elite Aviators At the start of the war, Japan had some of the finest fighter pilots in the world. The aviators who attacked Pearl Harbor were elite. Many had hundreds of hours in the cockpit and real combat experience from the fighting in China. Flying the nimble A6M Zero, they cut through Allied opposition in the early months of the war and earned a fearsome reputation. But Japan made a fateful choice about these men. It kept them in combat, more or less indefinitely. Japanese pilots flew mission after mission with no real system to rotate them home. They fought until they were shot down, crippled, or killed. It seemed ruthless and efficient. In reality, it was a slow-motion disaster. The Difference in Philosophy Because every time Japan lost one of those veterans, everything he knew died with him. America did the opposite. It regularly rotated many of its experienced combat pilots back home once they had done their share of fighting. There, they became instructors, pouring everything they had learned in real air combat directly into the next generation of pilots. So the two systems pulled in opposite directions. Japan's pool of skill drained away with every ace it buried. America's pool of skill grew, as each returning veteran multiplied his knowledge across hundreds of students. One nation was teaching. The other was simply dying. The Training Gap The gap became a chasm, and it was made worse by sheer scale. By 1944, the United States was training around 8,000 new aviators every month, each of them getting well over a year of instruction and hundreds of hours in the air before they ever saw combat. Japan could not come close. As its veterans vanished, its training program collapsed, and it was crippled by something else, too. Fuel. Japan was running so short of it that many trainees could barely fly enough hours to learn their trade. By the later part of the war, Japanese pilots were being rushed into battle with barely 100 hours of flying time, and sometimes far less. They were teenagers with almost no training, being sent up against American veterans who had been taught by the best combat pilots in the fleet. The outcome was no longer a contest. It was a slaughter. The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot Nowhere was that clearer than in the skies over the Mariana Islands in June 1944. When the Japanese launched hundreds of aircraft against the American fleet, they flew into a wall of Hellcat fighters, guided by radar and expert fighter direction that positioned the Americans at the perfect height and moment to strike. The green Japanese pilots in their now outdated Zeros never had a chance. In and around that battle, Japan lost nearly 480 aircraft, while the Americans lost only a few dozen. It was so one-sided that the American aviators nicknamed it the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot. Japan's naval air power, once the terror of the Pacific, was broken in a matter of days. Better Aircraft, Better Technology It was not only the pilots. It was the machines too. America kept producing better and better aircraft, like the tough, heavily armed F6F Hellcat, designed after studying a captured Zero and built to beat it. It could take punishment, out-dive and out-gun its opponent, and it was forgiving enough that even a less experienced pilot could survive his first fights and become a veteran. Over the war, Hellcat pilots claimed more than 5,000 enemy aircraft for a tiny fraction of that in losses. Japan, meanwhile, kept sending men up in the aging Zero, a plane that had been revolutionary in 1941 but was now underpowered, fragile, and outclassed. It was fast and agile, but a single burst of American fire could tear it apart, because it had traded armor and protection for maneuverability. Better pilots, in better planes, backed by better technology. The advantages stacked on top of one another. The Spiral Ends By the end, Japan had reached the final, desperate stage of the spiral. With almost no trained pilots left, and no way to make more in time, it turned to the kamikaze. A pilot did not need 500 hours of training to crash his aircraft into a ship. He only needed to take off, aim, and die. It was the last resort of an air force that had run out of the one thing it could never mass produce. Experienced men. America won the Pacific air war for many reasons. Its factories out-built the enemy. Its radar and intelligence gave it eyes the Japanese lacked. Its aircraft grew deadlier every year. But underneath all of it was something simpler. America treated its best pilots as a resource to be protected and passed on. Japan treated them as fuel to be burned. One of those choices built an air force that kept getting stronger. The other burned brightly, and then burned out. This was why America won the Pacific air war. I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.$

The last Mercedes built like a bank vault. Luxury at its most indestructible. The W140 S-Class was the peak of Mercedes overengineering. Built in the early 90s, it came with double-glazed windows, soft-close doors, and a presence that intimidated everything on the road. 50 Cent liked his S500 too. It was so solid it felt indestructible except for the soy-based wiring that rats loved to chew through. The S500’s V8 wasn’t exotic, but it was smooth, powerful, and perfectly suited to this rolling fortress. It represented Mercedes at their most excessive, where cost didn’t matter and luxury was built to last forever. The last true “bank vault” S-Class. Mercedes-Benz W140 S500

The first step on Mars won’t be human. Elon Musk: “We will send the first Starships to Mars with the Optimus robot. It can go out there and explore and prepare the way for humans.” For 4 billion years, life had one rule. New territory required a new body. Fish grew legs for land. Primates grew hands for tools. Humans grew minds for abstraction. Every time life wanted to reach further, biology had to evolve first. Mars is the first time it didn’t. Never before has a species built a separate body to send ahead of itself. Not a rover with a camera. Not a probe collecting samples. A walking machine designed to reshape a world for the species that created it. Optimus lands 2027. Maps terrain. Tests atmosphere. Builds the first infrastructure human hands will ever touch on another planet. Humans arrive two years later. Not into the unknown. Into something already shaped for them. Already waiting. This isn’t engineering. It’s evolution, done deliberately. No species in Earth’s history has ever decoupled its reach from its body. We just did. Optimus walks Mars first so humans walk it safely after. But the real weight of this moment sits deeper than logistics. We just proved that a mind doesn’t have to travel inside the body that built it. It can design a vessel. Send it ahead. Follow when the path is clear. That’s not a Mars mission. That’s a permanent fork in the evolutionary tree. And it only grows outward. Centuries from now, they won’t fixate on the date a human first touched Martian soil. They’ll study the moment a species learned to send its mind ahead of its body. And discovered there was no such thing as too far.

This woman’s daughter bought a used car two weeks ago and it’s been in the shop 9 days out of those two weeks. The warranty won’t fix the issues the car has because the issues are being caused by an accident. I feel the dealership failed big time on this trade in. Why take a car on trade that has issues they refuse to fix. I can’t imagine them selling a car to anyone and saying that the warranty is voided because of extensive damage caused by an accident. To me this sounds like the dealership scammed them and should be liable for all repairs or at least replace the car for free with something comparable. I’ve never experienced anything this bad from a dealer. The closest thing I’ve had is that the new car I bought had a tire that had a flat spot due to it sitting on the lot for so long. When driven, the tire would vibrate like it was out of balance. The dealer kept passing the buck to the manufacturer and the manufacturer blamed the dealer. Eventually I was able to get the dealer to replace the tire because of pure persistence but the experience left me with a poor experience and I never went back to them.

The Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette was one of the most important American performance cars ever built. In 1988, it reached a verified top speed of 254.76 mph at the Transportation Research Center in Ohio, making it the fastest street legal car in the world at the time. Powered by a twin turbo 5.7L V8 producing nearly 900 hp, it beat the world speed record, then simply drove home under its own power instead of being loaded onto a trailer. Built from a C4 Corvette, it still kept air conditioning, power windows, a full interior, and even the factory Bose sound system. The car was capable of 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds and ran a 10 second quarter mile nearly 20 years before hypercars like the Bugatti Veyron entered the 250 mph conversation. The custom aerodynamic body was designed specifically for high speed stability, and the whole project proved just how far Callaway engineering was ahead of its time. RIP to Reeves Callaway, founder of Callaway Cars, who passed away in 2023.

BMW built the 740d for people who crossed countries, not cities. The 3.9-litre twin-turbo M67 V8 diesel wasn’t designed to impress with numbers. It was engineered to maintain high-speed efficiency with minimal noise, minimal revs, and minimal effort. In the E38 chassis, one of BMW’s best. The 740d was never the most desirable E38 when new, but it quietly demonstrated how far diesel refinement could go without compromising luxury. It's the kind of car you only understand once you’ve driven one the way it was intended. Though not a lot are remaining today.
