CAT puts century-old train tech to work in new, heavier electric drive dozer

Head coach JB Bickerstaff said Thursday the plan is for Thompson to play more this season, per Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press. Thompson already averaged a career-high 25.9 minutes per game last regular season, but it sounds like the Pistons are ready to trust him with an even larger workload. His shooting form remains a work in progress -- Thompson has never shot higher than 65 percent from the foul line or 25 percent from deep -- but the swingman has seen his assist and steal totals rise in each of his first three seasons and carries plenty of multi-category upside in the mid-to-late rounds of fantasy drafts. Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Four defensive stats in win

Nigel first entered the world of automotive journalism in the mid-80s, working for what was then the “bible” of weekly automotive content - Motoring News. Those were the days of tip-tap typewriters, landline telephones and proper news cycles. Social media was yet to become a modern-day plague and people waited for their automotive news until Tuesday mornings. Nigel has remained a gearhead since the early days in London. He's enjoyed a variety of roles in marketing, PR and events with such storied brands as Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini. He has spent much of adult life in the United States, but currently resides in (a much colder) United Kingdom.

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. The new Citroën 2CV was perhaps the cutest thing unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this year, built in the same spirit as its ancestor but with an all-electric powertrain. Cosmetically, it takes several design cues from the old 2CV and updates them for the 21st century in the coolest possible way. And with a target sticker price of just €15,000 ($16,800), it could be precisely what the French automaker needs to give budget Chinese EVs a run for their money. Sensing that Citroën might be onto something here, another Stellantis subsidiary is apparently looking to take this particular page out of its rulebook. And the brand in question is Italy’s Fiat.

New York City has been a battleground for years. No, not a battle between the deific forces of the Guardian Angels and the loathéd Antifa hordes like your grandmother's chain emails would have you believe, but a battleground over something much more serious: Whether or not horse-drawn carriages should be allowed in Central Park. Now it seems Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the New York City Council are endng the debate, by banning horse carriages from the park later this month. News sources have been crediting this final push against horse-drawn carriages to the death of a teenager back in June, but in reality the battle has gone on far longer than that. While some opponents of the carriages simply dislike the smell of horses or the proximity to animals, most find their fundamental disagreement with the practice of keeping horses in the heat, the cold, and the general unsuitability of New York City. This isn't exactly a prairie where horses can roam free, and I can't imagine it's a fulfilling life they live. It seems like City Council Speaker Julie Menin agrees with the mayor.
