Porsche 911 Celebrates 60 Years With Retro And Heritage Design Sneakers

Porsche is honoring the 60th anniversary of the legendary 911 by releasing a limited-edition pair of sneakers. Created in collaboration between Porsche Lifestyle Group and Puma, these sneakers pay tribute to both the classic and modern versions of the iconic 911. To mark this special occasion, a pre-sale event for the sneakers will take place on September 5.

The design of the Retro Sneaker draws inspiration from the slim and sleek silhouette of the 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.5. Made with suede overlays, it incorporates smooth leather underlays and a tongue adorned with red stitching. The light blue color of the sneakers is complemented by the presence of the number 56, which represents a significant car from that era.

Will It Run? Find Out If This 1974 Honda CL125 Will Ride Again

In a recent video by Cars and Cameras, they showcased what two hundred dollars can get you. They managed to get their hands on a 1974 Honda CL125 that had not been ridden or registered since 1982. Despite sitting for decades and accumulating rust and dust, the bike is surprisingly in good condition. The engine, however, is stuck and needs some attention.

While the bike doesn’t require a full restoration, certain parts like the engine and drivetrain need some love. The oil has become a gunky mess after years of sitting, and the chain and sprockets are rusted and won’t last much longer. Fortunately, the engine still has some compression and managed to expel a significant amount of gunk from the spark plug hole.

The gas tank is another issue as it’s rusted through and needs a thorough cleaning. Overall, the bike requires various tasks such as opening up the engine, changing the spark plug, de-rusting the fuel tank, cleaning and refurbishing the carburetor, replacing the chain and sprockets, changing the oil, and addressing other small jobs. The suspension and brakes also need attention.

The video runs for more than 30 minutes, but if you’re curious to know if the bike starts, skip ahead to the nine-minute mark. The rest of the video focuses on making the bike rideable. To find out if it ultimately rides, check out the full video!

How The New MINI Interior Combines Technology and Vintage Appeal

The latest MINI update offers a wide range of customization options that complement the features of the new interior. Users now have the ability to choose from various “experience modes,” which not only change the background and color schemes of the OLED display, but also adjust the LED lighting to match the selected mode. However, this update goes beyond simple aesthetic changes.

There’s now a “personal” mode that allows users to upload a display photo and design their profile based on that image. The display will automatically extract the main colors from the uploaded photo and use them to create the overall theme. This means you can showcase your kids, pets, or even Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas as the central focus of your vehicle without needing any tools or equipment.

MINI has also introduced unique “sound profiles” for each display mode. When switching between the core, go-kart, timeless, and balance driving modes, you can expect to hear different sounds that correspond to each mode. This MINI Sound DNA concept also extends to the experience modes, with each mode featuring a distinct jingle. While this may not be as groundbreaking as the release of a new performance mode, BMW emphasizes the importance of these small touches in creating a unique driving atmosphere, which is an integral part of the MINI experience.

What Happened To Boho Camper Vans From Shark Tank Season 11?

In Season 11 of “Shark Tank,” Boho Camper Vans made an appearance and partnered with Barbara Corcoran. They were offered $150,000 in cash and a $150,000 line of credit in exchange for a 10% stake in their company. Initially, the two friends were seeking $300,000 for the same equity, and they received offers from O’Leary, Oza, and Greiner before ultimately accepting Corcoran’s offer, which met their desired terms.

O’Leary proposed a $300,000 loan with a 9% interest rate in exchange for 7% equity. Oza offered $300,000 for a 25% stake in the company. Greiner presented $300,000 for 20% equity, but Sodeemann and Ellenson asked her to lower her equity to 15% without changing the investment amount. When Greiner turned down their counteroffer, the pair decided to go with Corcoran.

“Barbara was the perfect fit for us because she understood our aversion to debt and provided a solution to pay it off quickly,” Ellenson explained after reaching a deal with Corcoran.

Next-Gen BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe Spotted for the First Time

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, which is a compact sport sedan with an additional pair of doors, is getting a new generation. Recent spy shots show that development is underway, with production expected to start in late 2024.

One of the notable features at the front end is the unusual layout of BMW’s kidney grilles. Unlike the traditional design, this model has a smaller version of the grilles in the center of the nose, with two larger openings on each side. However, it’s worth noting that the white mesh used in the larger sections is likely not the final production-spec part.
