I haven’t driven a Tesla so can’t say much, but do know that, all that torque is never bad.
Dodge celebrated by building a charity art project.
Together with the charity organization Canstruction®, the automaker built a life-sized replica of the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan… out of cans.
That’s 30,000 cans of tuna, it took 10 hours, and it’s a world’s first.
The food was then donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Those folding seats, the “Stow ‘N Go” seats, are exclusive to the Caravan, and deserve more screen time they’re that slick.
And they’re built in Canada.
Sorry about the lighting Brad!
Filmed in the driver’s seat, in the middle of Dundas Square, kinda neat.
Dodge Grand Caravan – starting at $19,895
Non-car nerds: Chrysler basically invented the MiniVan vehicle, this Grand Caravan.
I like MiniVans, and have a Caravan booked early in the new year.

UPDATE – 10pm
Today, CNBC’s Squawk on the Street talked to Pietro Frigerio, general manager of the dealership.
Mr. Frigerio said, “I never touched bit coins.” The bitcoins were first exchanged for US dollars, and then wired to the dealership’s account.
That’s not as dramatic for sure.
Haven’t had to add an update like that before. That’s the interesting part… sure I was first to market , but the facts were wrong, but if I had waited till my Wednesday news slot, this story would be considered stale, and me slow on the news.
It seems like there’s lots of cell phone carriers, but not really.
I made a chart.
Best Buy Mobile offers all of them, plus all the phones, a one-stop-mobile shop.

I thought once the wind got to the rear of the car, it just broke off and went on its way, who cares.
Nope.

The rear of a car is designed to detach the wind resistance very precisely. Otherwise, the wind creates drag, or it gets sucked back under the car, pulling the car in the opposite direction.
The formula is:
