  • Porsche, Audi recall plug-in EV chargers over outlet fire risk

    Porsche and Audi issued recalls for more than 130,000 battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to address two unrelated fire risks. The larger of the two campaigns is actually directed not at the cars themselves, but at the charging cables that were sold with them. This recall covers all vehicles sold with the company's 40-amp, 220/240V "industrial" charging cable designed to fit a NEMA 14-50 outlet. Parent company Volkswagen says Porsche and Audi were made aware of instances where the cable could overheat due to a poor-quality, outdated or defective home electrical setup, potentially leading to a house fire. VW said...
  • New Year’s Eve revelers pay $650 for seat at Applebee’s, $12,500 at Times Square lounge to watch ball drop

    Would you pay $650 for a table at Applebee’s in Times Square to watch the ball drop? Apparently many New Year’s Eve revelers are willing to fork over just that and even more — including $12,500 for a luxury couples package at the Marriott Marquis — to ring in 2024, according to events entrepreneur Joshua Perla. Perla, founder of events sites BallDrop.com and NewYears.com, said business has been brisk for the 30 different Times Square packages. “We are seeing an uptick in the price consumers are spending on New Year’s Eve tickets that include a live view of the ball...
  • 1993 Cadillac Showroom Video Is a Time Capsule of American Luxury

    thedrive ^ | 12/26/2023 | MADDOX KAY
    The early ‘90s was truly a different time for luxury cars. BMW and Mercedes-Benz were niche players in the U.S., selling around 84,000 and 75,000 Autobahn-tuned sedans, coupes, and station wagons respectively in 1994. By contrast, Cadillac moved over 210,000 DeVilles, Sevilles, Fleetwoods, and Eldorados. That's more than both German brands combined. The Cimarron was a fading memory, Lexus wasn’t posing an existential threat yet, and life was good. Just ask any of the fine folks at Williamson Cadillac near Miami, the subject of this candid showroom video shot 30 years ago. If you’ve ever wondered what it was like...

    Two teenage girls were stabbed inside Grand Central Terminal on Christmas morning, leading to a man’s arrest for attempted murder, transit authorities said. The two girls, ages 14 and 16, were attacked while in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around 11:25 a.m. Monday and suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, the MTA Police Department said. Less than a minute later, the cops arrested a suspect in the attack, who was identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson.
  • The president who took his Christmas card list to a whole other level

    In the 1980s, when the calendar turned from April to May, Dot Burghard would take out the envelopes and blue pens and start a process that would last seven months or longer. Burghard, a volunteer at the Office of the Vice President in Houston, spent her summers and falls addressing envelopes for a massive undertaking: George H.W. Bush’s Christmas card list. The operation, which had around 30,000 recipients at its peak, required a start date two seasons before the holidays. And when December rolled around, Burghard was joined by a room of volunteers — all women — turning the office...

    Joe Biden may be known to some by the nickname Middle-Class Joe, but the former vice president and current president is actually a millionaire, many times over. At the start of his 2020 presidential campaign Biden released his financial information - disclosures as well as state and federal tax returns for 2016, 2017, and 2018 - and based on those forms, Forbes estimated that he had a net worth of $9 million. **SNIP** Here, take a look back at how he earned his fortune. Before Biden became Vice President, he served as a Senator from 1973 to 2009. Over the...

  • The 'mere accident of history' that popularized a white Christmas

    Accuweather ^ | December A.D. 2023 | Adriana Navarro,
    Why is the connection between snow and Christmas so strong? Experts say it’s because songs, stories and images come back year after year and have created the tradition of an idealized white Christmas holiday. Christmas tales and carols have long since invoked images of silver bells, horse-drawn sleighs, and, of course, snow. The association of snow with the holiday and its yuletide charm, for those celebrating across the United States, is not due to a consistent white winter wonderland, however. In fact, nearly half of the contiguous U.S. historically has had a 50% chance or less of actually seeing a...

    A savage brawl involving half a dozen people erupted on a Long Island highway after a car crash — with wild footage showing some of the men swinging large wooden sticks. The violent fracas broke out in the middle of the Sunrise Highway in North Lindenhurst after two trucks crashed Wednesday around 12:35 p.m., officials said. Three people were arrested. All of the men involved “are known to one another,” and two of them are relatives that live together, according to Suffolk County Police.
