Makes You Wonder Why They Have Such A Large Range

The Ten Cars With The Widest Horsepower Ranges

2.) Mercedes-Benz E-Class, 134 HP-577 HP

• Around the world, Mercedes-Benz’s E-Class has many different jobs in various different trim levels. In the lower diesel trims, like the E200 CDI, E-Classes can be found being put to work as semi-luxurious taxis. For the taxi driver that wants a little more or for the family guy that needs some actual excitement in life, the E200’s 134 HP can be bumped right up to AMG status with a drool-worthy 577 HP.

6.) BMW 4 Series, 150 HP-493 HP

• Though they might differ by just a bit more than what can be found under the hood, they’re both 4 Series, in some way, shape, model designation, or form. If the low-output 418D doesn’t cut it for you, maybe you should try jumping for the 493 HP M4 GTS. Why not?

Here's The Bowl Games I Want To See

Ranking the bowls 1-40 (excluding the national championship)

3. Battlefrog Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 1, Glendale, Arizona) – Ohio State (11-1) vs. Notre Dame (10-2)

Ohio State's coaching staff will likely devise a plan to limit Notre Dame WR Will Fuller's production. Can the Irish run the ball? And can Notre Dame stop Ohio State if the Buckeyes stay committed to the ground game? Notre Dame was 65th in the country in rushing defense. If the Michigan game was an indicator of what Ohio State will do in RB Ezekiel Elliott's last game as a Buckeye, cover your eyes Irish fans.

40. AutoNation Cure Bowl (Dec. 19, Orlando, Florida) – Georgia State (6-6) vs. San Jose State (5-7)

We don’t want to discredit Georgia State for winning its final four games, but this bowl is as bad as it gets. The only reason San Jose State – a team that lost to 2-10 Oregon State – is in this game is because of its high APR. The Spartans only have two wins over teams with a winning record, New Mexico and FCS New Hampshire. But hey, at least we get to watch SJSU RB Tyler Ervin (1,469 yards) play one more time.

3. Everything you see is designed to keep you in the casino.

Anyone who’s spent time in a casino knows they are designed to make sure you’ll lose track of the time (and of the money you’re probably losing). That means no windows and no clocks. “Two in the morning is the exact same thing as two in the afternoon,” says Sal. Some casinos have gone to desperate, and sexy, measures to keep you there and gambling. “They have stripper poles, they have party pits,” Sal says. “You go to Vegas right now, it looks like a gentlemen’s club. You see girls dancing on the poles. It keeps the guys at the table.”

And don’t be fooled by the “free” food and drink offers you might get. Those have the same purpose. “I love when people say, ‘Sal, they gave me a $20 buffet for free!’” Sal says, laughing. “You sat at a blackjack table, you lost $200 and they gave you a $20 buffet.” That’s what you all a good return on investment.

The Company Lives On

Tuning Company Carlsson Saved From Insolvency Thanks To Korean Firm

German tuning company Carlsson has been saved from insolvency thanks to Korean Company Sambo Motors Co. Ltd, GTspirit reports.

In April 2015, Carlsson entered liquidation after experiencing a massive drop in sales as well as declining turnover. As a matter of fact, the company's turnover fell from 30 million euros in 2013 down to 18 million euros in 2014. Under the helm of Chinese auto retailer Zhongsheng Group Holdings Ltd who previously owned 70 per cent of the company, it was decided that Carlsson couldn't remain operational at its existing sales levels.

The new Korean owners of Carlsson has promised the tuner's workers that they won't lose their jobs. At this stage, it remains to be seen how much Korean Company Sambo Motors paid for a controlling stake in Carlsson nor just what per cent that stake is.

Dress Code? What Dress Code?

Nissan charged with violating labor laws in Mississippi

Jackson, Miss. — The National Labor Relations Board is charging Nissan Motor Co. and a contract worker agency with violating workers’ rights at the company’s Mississippi plant.

Filed Monday, the charges claim Nissan illegally stifled workers’ right to wear pro-union or anti-union clothing when it created a uniform policy in 2014 for its manufacturing plants in Canton, as well as in Smyrna and Decherd, Tennessee. Also charged is Kelly Services, which provides an unknown number of contract workers in Canton.

The 2014 policy, as laid out in a question-and-answer document attached to the labor board complaint, called for most employees to wear company issued pants and shirts.

Nissan spokesman David Reuter said Friday, though, that uniforms were never mandatory.
