In partnership with Omaze There are plenty of reasons your Airstream dreams may be as yet unfulfilled. Maybe the pandemic-fueled RV backlog has kept you from putting your name on the list. Maybe you’ve been halfheartedly hunting for a retro road-trip-mobile. There’s also the likelihood that an $80,000 travel trailer just hasn’t been a priority on your shopping list. The biggest headache, though, as anyone who has dabbled in the travel-trailer market knows, is that these RVs are merely the first item on a laundry list of expenses. You’ve got to furnish that Airstream and, of course, acquire a truck that can tow it. Omaze understands the full extent of the Airstream experience, which is why the fundraising platform is currently giving away not only a Caravel 20FB, a roomy single-axle trailer that sleeps four, but also a Ram 1500 Limited truck and all the fixings you’ll need to hit the road. From now through August 27, you can enter the giveaway for a chance to win what … [Read more...] about How to Win the Airstream of Your Dreams, Plus the Truck to Tow It

Vin Scully, famed sports broadcaster for 67 years, dies at 94
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 15 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, whose dulcet tones provided the soundtrack of summer while entertaining and informing Dodgers fans in Brooklyn and Los Angeles for 67 years, died Tuesday night. He was 94. Scully died at his home in the Hidden Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the team announced after being informed by family members. No cause of death was provided. “He was the best there ever was,” pitcher Clayton Kershaw said after the Dodgers' game in San Francisco. “Just such a special man. I’m grateful and thankful I got to know him as well as I did.” As the longest tenured broadcaster with a single team in pro sports history, Scully saw it all and called it all. He began in the 1950s era of Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson, on to the 1960s with Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, … [Read more...] about Vin Scully, famed sports broadcaster for 67 years, dies at 94
2023 Fiat Fastback Revealed To Take Coupe-SUVs Mainstream
Listen to this article Fiat Brazil's answer to the Volkswagen Nivus (sold in Europe as the Taigo) has arrived in the form of the new Fastback after a namesake concept unveiled back in November 2018. It's a small SUV beaten with the coupe stick and mechanically related to the Pulse by riding on the same MLA platform. It's essentially an evolution of the MP1 architecture used for the Argo and Cronos. Technical specifications have yet to be revealed, but it should be similar in size to the Pulse . The latter is 4.1 meters (161.4 inches) long, 1.77 meters (69.8 inches) wide, and 1,57 meters (62.2 inches) tall, with a wheelbase measuring 2.53 meters (99.7 inches). The new Fiat Fastback seems to have longer overhangs and we'd argue it could use a set of larger wheels. Because of the sloping roofline, the coupe-SUV is unlikely to match the Pulse's 370-liter (13 cubic feet) cargo capacity. Our colleagues at Motor1.com Brazil believe the local launch is scheduled for … [Read more...] about 2023 Fiat Fastback Revealed To Take Coupe-SUVs Mainstream
