The Super Mario Bros. Movie surprised audiences by putting Princess Peach in a prominent role rather than portraying her as a prize to be saved from Bowser. Since then, gamers have been anticipating her highness's first-ever starring role in a console game. Princess Peach: Showtime finally made its grand debut on the Nintendo Switch, but does it offer enough to please everybody?
Audi has officially wrapped up the production of its iconic R8 supercar, with the last model recently rolling off the assembly line at Audi’s plant in Germany.

It's like a personal-sized museum of Ferrari excellence—and indeed, the case is designed to resemble the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena. The display case is

Unlike the standard-grade Continental that LBJ drove at his Texas ranch, and which also sold on BaT not too long ago, this is one of 500 Executive Limousines that were stretched and strengthened by Lehmann-Peterson in Chicago between 1964 and 1970.
