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.

If Your Ford Maverick Feels Too Weak, The SV300T Package Is Coming To Fix That
Even if you get the cool Lobo version, non-hybrid examples of the Ford Maverick only make 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo-four. However, Ford now has a factory-ish solution for owners looking for more grunt out of their compact pickup: the SV300T package. As you could probably guess from the name, this lets the Maverick make more power — a sport compact-worthy 300 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Available to pre-order now and slated for launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, you can apparently have the SV300T installed as an add-on kit at your local Ford dealership or, if you've yet to actually get a Maverick, installed as a package from the factory.
