No matter where you live, bellyaching about potholes and road quality is an American tradition. It’s not hard to find people in every state who claim their roads are the worst, but Pennsylvania pesonal injury firm Munley Law recently studied data from the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics to determine which have the highest average rates of acceptable road quality.
Dan Ariens laid off workers, cut shifts, and halted nearly all hiring last summer after sales slumped at his company, best known for making bright orange snow blowers and lawnmowers sold around the world. Headcount fell 20% to 1,600 people, and he doesn't see business improving until 2025.
How does one stop a stolen oversized front loader that’s plowing down a Georgia highway to escape a police pursuit? With another front loader. This rather unusual incident, captured on body cam video earlier this week, came about when a 38-year-old former worker at a waste management site in Gwinnett County climbed into the vehicle and began driving it erratically on the site. Police arrived shortly after and tried to corral the machine, which can apparently accelerate at up to 30 miles per hour. The suspect ignored police commands to stop and drove off the site and into traffic.
Ferrari on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding with battery supplier SK On for future battery development.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, the global supply chain and US coastal infrastructure collided in the worst possible way. An enormous container ship, the Dali, slammed into a support of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, crumpling its central span into the Patapsco River and cutting off the city’s port from the Atlantic Ocean. Eighteen hours later, at approximately 7:30 pm Tuesday evening, rescuers called off a search, with six missing people presumed dead.

What we have here is one clear reality, one deal, and at least one mystery. The reality is that someone is selling an armored 2016 Subaru Forester on Craigslist Dallas. The Autopian came across the find and called the seller to find out what gives. They didn't get much. The seller's son said his dad bought the wagon at auction, becoming the Forester's second owner after Brinks, the cash and valuables transportation company. «Brinks had that one built,» he said, «and it was used until my father bought it.” What also appears to be plain and real is that the Subie has ferried precious goods 185,345 miles, and the seller wants $12,900 „firm“ for it.
