Long last in bed

Pictured here in the Z71 off-road guise, the Chevrolet S10 is a small truck that General Motors refuses to sell in the United States. It’s available in Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American and would compete with the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz in the US. Rather than bringing it stateside, GM is toying around with the idea of a purely electric pickup that would have two doors, a low roofline, and a 4- to 4.5-foot-long bed. Automotive News saw marketing images of the zero-emission workhorse while visiting GM's design studio in Warren, Michigan. It's apparently "futuristic and sporty" while being slightly smaller than the compact gas trucks from Ford and Hyundai . It's unclear which badge it would wear should it be approved for production, nor is it known what it would be called. If green-lighted, the production model would cost less than $30,000. 2022 Chevrolet S10 Z71 50 Photos … [Read more...] about GM Has Designed A Small Electric Pickup Truck To Gauge Interest

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 Relentless wind and rain has killed people sleeping in homes and in tents. It has taken the lives of those sheltering indoors and those working outside. Some victims have been elderly, others very young. And they are spread across 10 California counties and more than 500 miles, one measure of this disaster's massive, difficult-to-manage scope. After two weeks of nearly nonstop downpours, the official statewide death toll from multiple atmospheric rivers stands at 19. That figure will rise, authorities say, but already it is greater than the number of people killed during the last two fire seasons combined. The parade of storms has been deadlier than any single wildfire since 2018, a jolting fact for a state whose worst recent disasters have been the product of too little water, not too much. And it's not over. At least two more storms have California in their crosshairs. Once the … [Read more...] about California’s winter storms have been deadlier than any wildfire since 2018

The Italian movie industry after World War II was a juggernaut that competed alongside Hollywood as one of the world's leading exporters of films. Grittily poetic works such as Roberto Rossellini's "Rome, Open City" and Vittorio De Sica's "Bicycle Thieves" were masterpieces of neorealism that turned themes of deprivation and desperation into high art. But when Time magazine examined the might of Italian film production in 1954, it did not put Rossellini or De Sica on the cover. Instead it featured Gina Lollobrigida, a ruby-lipped bombshell encased in clinging gowns, whose presence in comedies, romances and adventures powered a rebellion against neorealism. Ms. Lollobrigida, who died Jan. 16 in Rome at 95, was for a time an international sensation with few equals. In the estimation of actor Humphrey Bogart, her allure made "Marilyn Monroe look like Shirley Temple." Life magazine called "La Lollo" - as she was nicknamed - "the most fetching argument ever advanced for liberal … [Read more...] about Gina Lollobrigida, Italian film siren of the 1950s, dies at 95

Houstonians who might refer to themselves as terminally online are once again abuzz with opinions about yet another national media outlet's attempts to summarize the city's greatness in just a few thousand words. This week, it was the New York Times, which published the latest edition of their "36 Hours In" travel series , this time ending up in Houston. I always brace myself when these pieces come out—whatever mood I'm in, I'm sure to get a bit more sour. Houston is a wonderful, complex place that is often misunderstood by parachuters, although I was relieved to read that the author "grew up in Houston and lives there today," per a note at the very top, probably to brace themselves for the onslaught of online clapbacks from locals. There were indeed some infuriating omissions in this "36 Hours in Houston" and definitely a few headscratchers, but I'll admit to not being as annoyed by this guide as I typically have been in the past. Stick with me. My biggest pet peeve about … [Read more...] about Is the New York Times’ 36 Hours in Houston as bad as people say?

I love furry animals. Seriously, is there anything better than cuddling a puppy? Or winning the vibrating approval of a cat? I’ll snuggle up with any furry creature that will have me; I’ll pet a pelt, caress a coat, and run my fingers through a shaggy hide any day of the week. Truth be told, if rabies wasn’t a concern I’d go full Elmyra on every raccoon, possum, and squirrel I met. While I love furry creatures, I don’t love their fur when it’s covering my clothes or making lint-filled tumbleweeds of dander across the floor.  So when I saw this pet hair remover going viral on TikTok , I had to try it out.

Listen to this article The British team slumped to the back of the grid in 2018 and has suffered an even worse 2019 so far, as its car has proven well off the pace and left its drivers adrift of even the midfield battle. However, Williams has stated this season it has confidence that the base of the 2019 car is a fundamental improvement from last year, and it just needs to be aggressively developed. Rookie driver George Russell said during the previous grand prix weekend in Britain: “It’s a step-by-step process for us at the moment. The team had a very difficult year last year. “They wanted to change a lot of the structure and it was almost that we had to make two steps back before we made three steps forward. “The groundworks are kind of in place at the moment to try to bring more performance to the car as the season progresses and I’ve got confident we can do that.” Doug McKiernan joined Williams early in 2018 and assumed lead aerodynamic responsibilities … [Read more...] about Williams needed “two steps back for three forward” with FW42

Some of F1’s most famous and popular circuits feature in today’s instalment of the guide to F1 tracks. Watkins Glen in America, Clermont-Ferrand in France and Brands Hatch in Great Britain. And one of my own personal favourites, the Mexico City circuit. But as ever there are a few oddballs as well – East London and Zeltweg held only four races between them. Watkins Glen After finding little favour in Sebring and Riverside as venues for the United States Grand Prix, F1 found a long-term home at Watkins Glen. The circuit in Elmira, New York State remained on the calendar until 1980. Although the track (pictured top) has undergone several changes the distinctive S-bend after the start line has always remained the same. The shorter version of the track shown above remained until 1970, by which time the fastest lap time had been whittled down to 1’2.740 (Jacky Ickx, Ferrari). East London East London was the first home of the South African Grand Prix, before the more … [Read more...] about F1 circuits history part 5: 1961-6 · RaceFans
