Kathleen Gray and David Jesse Detroit Free Press Published 10:11 AM EST Nov 5, 2018 Larissa Mickelson didn’t vote in the 2016 election, but she won’t repeat that mistake on Tuesday. The 22-year-old graduate student at Michigan State University regrets that absence from the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump’s path to the presidency was helped by a narrow 10,704-vote margin of victory in Michigan. “I don’t think my vote would have made a difference in (Trump) getting elected, but I would have felt better about myself having voted against him,” she said. “I’m definitely voting this year. I don’t want to have someone get in office and not like their decisions and know that I didn’t vote.” Gabriella Canu, a 21-year-old student at Oakland University from Shelby Township, voted for Trump in 2016, but isn’t sure whether she’ll head to the polls on Tuesday. “I think it’s very … [Read more...] about Young voters register in droves for 2018 Michigan election

Audi targets 800,000 electrified sales in 2025
Register for our free newsletterManufacturers setting yearly goals is common practice, and it’s no rare thing for them to do so a year or two in advance. Audi has taken that a bit of a step further, though – unveiling plans to sell 800,000 electrified cars in the year 2025. That’s no mean feat, especially for a brand that currently offers only two hybrid cars – with the all-electric e-tron SUV on the horizon – but it has an ambitious plan to reach that target: it aims to introduce at least one electrified variant of every car it offers by then, with more than 20 to be available. The e-tron SUV heading to market later in 2018 is the first step on Audi’s ‘Roadmap E’ electrification plan, with an e-tron Sportback to follow next year.

Twist. Turn. Tick. Tock. I go karting at Yas!
Yas Marina Circuit offers you exciting ways to get to know the celebrated racing destination this summer – whether you wish to do it by foot, squatting or sideways. The smart outfit makes you look like a smart driver too! LOL Whizz… went this car past me before slipping in and out of lanes and spaces barely enough to keep its both bumpers from being bumped off. “The highway is not the place for your bravado…” I wanted to shout after him, sleeves rolled up, windows rolled down. But that would be an offence by itself. So, I completed my unuttered sentence under my breath, like a true gentleman: “…Go karting fella!” To be precise, go unwind at the kart zone at Yas Marina. That’s the place for excitement, exhilaration, challenges and learning for anyone who loves driving on the edge.
