The all-new 2014 Chevy Corvette is beautiful.

When it comes to comebacks, General Motors is a company that knows a lot about making a flashy return.  Despite multiple bankruptcies and a multitude of development problems, there’s one brand that GM refuses to give up on, and that’s the vaunted Chevrolet Corvette.  GM is rolling out the all-new 2014 Corvette, and it looks like a thing of beauty.  However, it’s not just a muscle car, it’s an economical muscle car.

That’s right, gang; apparently the big focus of the new Corvette isn’t a killer stereo or milking the most power possible out of its V8 engine, but it’s sipping the least gasoline.  Engineers have already pushed the fuel economy over the 2013 Corvette’s 16 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, and the car codenamed C7 is completely new from the ground up, sharing only two parts with the previous version of the Corvette.  With a new car comes a chance to increase fuel economy, and Corvette designers are looking to get as close to 30 mpg highway as they can get.

“There won’t be a Corvette if we don’t care about fuel economy,” said Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter.

The new Vette will retail for $49,600, nearly 30k less than its competition.

It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
