Finding a cafe that fits you can be a revelatory experience. For me at least, there are few places outside of my house that I can truly feel comfortable in. I’m lucky enough to have two options in walking distance: a coffee shop that’s bright, airy, and full of art, and another that doubles as a plant shop so that I’m surrounded by greenery while I write. They’re third places that have become central to my life. But in the virtual realm I have an option as well — and while it’s not a place for getting work done, it’s…

Unveiled this past weekend at the Fuori Concorso on the shores of Lake Como, the Brabus Bodo is a work of automotive art. The grand tourer is an homage to Brabus founder Bodo Buschmann, who always wanted to build a large GT car, and with a twin-turbo V12 at its heart and carbon fiber bodywork, it’s every bit as special as any car carrying its founder’s name should be. But while the Brabus Bodo is based on the Aston Martin Vanquish, it’s been pointed out that it bears a striking resemblance to the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Concept 6 from 2016. The…

The Konkr Pocket Block will be smaller than the company’s previous vertical handhelds. Ayaneo’s next retro gaming handheld is revisiting the iconic Game Boy design once again. The handheld maker announced the Konkr Pocket Block, an “extremely compact” device that will also pack in AI features. Ayaneo didn’t detail what these AI features are, nor what makes the Konkr Pocket Block “the world’s first AI handheld,” but we’re expecting it to be much cheaper than the company’s premium handhelds that can start at more than $1,000.  Ayaneo debuted the Konkr Pocket Block during one of its streaming sessions, where the company’s…

For Jethro Harris, his Aston Martin Vantage V8 coupé is a dream come true, albeit one tinged with sadness.”I’ve always loved the model,” he says, “but unfortunately mine was an inheritance purchase. My dad had always wanted to buy one but never quite managed to, so when the opportunity to own one eventually fell to me, I thought: ‘Okay, let’s do it.”

Why Harley-Davidson Grand Tourers Define Road Trips 2006 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic corneringHarley-Davidson When you think of classic grand tourers, Harley-Davidson inevitably comes to mind first. The brand pioneered the very idea, starting with the iconic Hydra-Glide back in the day. Then, heavyweights like the Duo-Glide and Electra Glide further enhanced the concept with factory-equipped advanced suspension, a windshield, and luggage designed for interstate journeys. Taking forward the tradition, the Road Glide Limited and the Street Glide Limited lead the pack, built to eat miles for breakfast. Performance And Comfort In Heaps Harley-Davidson With these modern Harley grand tourers,…

We love being proven right. Last year, we named the Hyundai Palisade as our favorite family vehicle in any segment. Now that the three-row SUV has scored its first Top Safety Pick+ award since the 2023 model, it only confirms what we already knew, that this car simply can’t be beat as the all-around best vehicle on the road for families. The funny thing about this award, though, is that it comes with a catch. Hyundai upgraded the Palisade’s rear seatbelts last November, and the Top Safety Pick+ award only applies to the 2026 models that were built since then…

There’s a certain type of luxury buyer who refuses to play the lease-and-upgrade game. For them, old-fashioned ideas like resale value, equipment density, and depreciation still matter. If that sounds like you, and you’re shopping for a midsize luxury SUV, a well-optioned Volvo XC90 from the used lot can deliver far more substance and long-term satisfaction than splurging on something new – especially one of the German staples like the ever-popular Mercedes-Benz GLE. 2020 Volvo XC90 Front 3/4 ViewVolvo The math is straightforward: a new 2026 GLE starts at $62,250 for the bare-bones GLE350 with rear-wheel drive and climbs to…
