A new partnership just launched in Italy might catch your attention. Are you excited about the new Princess Resort opening in Jamaica this week? The company just announced a major addition is coming soon. As always, Smart Travel provides you with the latest unmissable travel news. Air Travel Consumer Reports ranks the best and worst airlines for baggage handling A staggering 880,000 bags were mishandled by airlines between January and April this year, with 260,000 in August alone. While this may pale in comparison to the 41 million pieces of luggage that are transported each month, it’s no surprise to anyone who’s had a hard time finding that a carefully chosen outfit to wear to an important business event has disappeared anywhere but baggage claim.

Jay Leno drives a lost and found 1969 Camaro Z/28
There should be an asterisk To follow what is "destined" is pronounced "ultimately". Some people find someone else they are meant to be with after years of failed relationships, bad dates, and periods of loneliness. Others don’t discover what career they should pursue until they go back to college after a few bad jobs. Glenn Stearns founded mortgage lending company Stearns Lending LLC and was the star of the first season of Discovery Channel's "Undercover Billionaires." But when he was a teenager, he was just a boy who needed a car. His father told him he knew one that could do the job, but it would require some engine work. The two eventually put a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS back on the road. Maybe they did too good a job with the 302 under the hood, since Stearns got a lot of tickets on his high school car. He was already the father of a young child and had…
Mercedes sunroof disaster strikes again, more than 33,000 vehicles lost
Mercedes-Benz first issued a recall for the same sunroof issue in late 2019 go through Brad Anderson December 5, 2024 13:45 Mercedes-Benz is recalling 33,000 vehicles in the United States due to sunroof bonding issues. Models affected by the recall include various C-Class, E-Class and AMG models produced from 2001 to 2011. Owners of affected vehicles will receive recall notices by January 2025. Who doesn’t love skylights? They can dramatically brighten the interior of any car and provide much-needed airflow with minimal noise. However, sunroofs can deteriorate over time, causing a variety of problems, and owners of more than 33,000 Mercedes-Benz models in the United States just received bad news: Their sunroofs may be malfunctioning. Late last month, Mercedes recalled 33,456 vehicles nationwide after determining that the bonding material used between the glass roof and sliding sunroof could deteriorate over time. If the adhesive wears down enough, the entire glass panel has the potential to separate from the vehicle. This…
We found a Porsche 911 that can go off-road without getting lost
Some new Porsche 911 Dakars are being resold for over $300,000, making this $55,000 car look like a bargain go through Brad Anderson 6 hours ago This "unique" 911 Carrera has traveled more than 80,000 miles (approximately 128,000 kilometers). With a raised ride height, all-terrain tires and rally modifications, it stands out from the crowd. Porsche Palm Springs is selling this customized 996-generation 911 Carrera for $54,990. Unlike the Lamborghini Huracan, which has no rally heritage, which makes the limited-edition Sterrato seem a bit odd, the Porsche 911 has a rich history in rallying, which is why the 911 Dakar makes so much sense. However, with an eye-popping MSRP of over $220,000 (good luck finding one at MSRP), this car is well beyond the reach of most enthusiasts. This 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera makes for a compelling alternative. Of course, we can't sit behind our desks and claim that a 22-year-old 911 is nearly as good as the current model.…

Workers at Normal Factory, who suffered skull fractures and amputated fingers, told reporters that support and training were substandard go through Chris Chilton 22 hours ago Workers at the Rivian-Normal, Illinois, plant have reportedly suffered a series of injuries and health issues.
