“When stationary, a software glitch can cause the wheel to turn itself back and forth without any input from the driver. It’s basically one step away from a nightmare scenario on the highway.”
Firstly, let’s all agree that 2026 will be the year to stop using the word “glitch” to describe bugs.

Pieces in a room tell a story. And if that story is I'm going to play some Atari 5200 while listening to Duran Duran, FB Marketplace in Trenton, NJ has the solution.
This glorious curved silver/woodgrain Zenith Space Command System 3 CRT TV can be yours for $450.

I very badly want this, and I think it's further proof that a lot of the good stuff we abandoned in the last decade or two because shiny is making a clear comeback. Print is back, obviously, but also physical buttons, going to concerts without recording, and maybe even having a real-life girlfriend.

The designation was chosen for the consolidation of the Beretta's sport models to ride out the rest of the car's existence from 1994-96. You could even get a [very rare, 1 or 2 yr only] HO Quad4 manual.

Released in 1975, the first “nuggets” McDonald’s introduced were ONION NUGGETS, which were typically offered exclusively from 4-9PM as an attempt to boost nighttime orders. By 1980, Chicken McNuggets were tested in Knoxville and the onion version began phasing out.

10 years ago this week, Marry Barra introduced the production Chevy Bolt at CES. Between a massive battery recall, end of production in 2023, and a subsequent reintroduction of the Bolt EUV this year, it’s been a wild ride.
