Normal people aren’t allowed to drive cars like this. The teams and owners of modern, top-level race cars, under most conditions, would never consider letting someone without years of training and proven skill drive their seven-figure cars flat-out. It just doesn’t happen.
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse marks the start of the three-row crossover’s third generation. While it still serves the same general purpose as before, it does so with actual style this time. It gets new looks, which align more with the body-on-frame side of the Chevy family tree, giving this family hauler a beefier and sportier character. The interior gets a makeover, too, with dual screens on the dash providing a tech-inspired focal point. Chevy also introduces the rugged-looking Z71 and street-savvy RS trims at the top of the lineup, providing a bit of spice on top of the Traverse’s fresh flavor. It was those two trims that we got to experience on our brief drives outside of Atlanta.
Once each year, the good folks at Uber release a compilation of items that their passengers left behind in the back of its cars. Let’s hear it if you support declaring that event a national holiday.
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — In a large, empty parking lot outside Atlanta, one car slowly careened around parking spaces. From the passenger seat, driving instructor Nancy Gobran peered over large sunglasses at her student, a 30-year-old Syrian refugee woman who was driving for one of the first times in her life.
We enjoy stumbling on armored oddballs like Inkas' armored 70 Series Toyota Land Cruiser or the two (2!) armored Subaru Foresters for sale at a used car lot in Atlanta. The Germans have made armoring a factory-order specialty, Mercedes selling its S680 Guard, BMW tripling the choice with its X5 Protection, new gas-powered 7 Series Protection, and the all-electric i7 Protection. The learning curve for mastering driving techniques with armored vehicles is just as steep as that for a Ranger Raptor, the potential repercussions of needing a recovery even greater. Hence, BMW Security Vehicle Training, two levels of training for drivers who need to maximize their skillsets in armored cars so they can get high-value assets to safety.
A former Navy submarine technician was arrested after law enforcement says he drove an SUV into the FBI headquarters near Atlanta on Monday afternoon. It is still unclear why the suspect, Ervin Lee Bolling, attempted to force entry into the headquarters, but research conducted by the nonpartisan public-interest nonprofit Advance Democracy and shared exclusively with WIRED has found that accounts believed to be associated with Bolling shared numerous conspiracy theories on social media platforms, including X and Facebook.
Fisker dropped a bombshell when it announced significant price cuts for the 2023 Ocean. The entry-level Ocean Sport with a $24,999 starting MSRP (not including destination) makes it the cheapest electric vehicle in the United States. But after considerable searching and a conversation with Classic Fisker in Atlanta—the only dealership listed on the company's website—we found a problem. It seems this ultra-cheap luxury SUV doesn't exist. Furthermore, the midrange Ocean Ultra at $34,999 might be a fairy tale, too.
More than 3.7 million cars that are currently on the road have a «park outside» recall, according to recent data from Carfax.
