The 2018 Lexus LC 500 Is Basically A Japanese Aston Martin
[W]hen Lexus wants to make a big dramatic statement, it unleashes a huge
luxury coupe with a naturally aspirated V8 engine. Such is the 2018 Lexus LC 500[.]
[W]atch this One Take review from our friend Matt Farah at The Smoking Tire.
Matt’s down with it too, and he’s not just some joker off the street
with no sense of taste. What does he say about it? While the legendary Lexus LFA
was like a Japanese Ferrari 599, this is like a Japanese Aston Martin.
It’s got dramatic styling, an interior worthy of a $100,000+ luxury car,
a fantastic soundtrack from the V8, and some impressive tech to aid the
driving experience, and surprisingly decent handling despite its
two-ton weight, and an exclusivity that separates it from what Mercedes
and BMW are slinging.

Thanks For The Memories Popeye's, You Had A Good Run
Burger King Just Bought Popeyes For $1.8 Billion
Originally started in New Orleans, Popeyes makes the best damn fast food friend chicken on the planet. They have over 2,600 restaurants in the U.S., all serving up incredible red beans and rice and delicious spicy chicken. As of today, it belongs to the Burger King family of restaurants after a $1.6 billion cash-stock acquisition from Restaurant Brands International, the company that owns BK and Tim Hortons in Canada. Fans of the chicken chain are hoping BK keeps it exactly how it is because Popeyes is literally perfect:

I Dunno About The World, But Yes To North America
Los Angeles named the most congested city in the world
It may be the City of Angels, but LA traffic is anything but heavenly. A new report named Los Angeles the most congested city in the world and not for the first time. In fact, LA has regularly made the top five for years now. The ranking is a surprise to no one who has ever tried to drive anywhere in the sprawling metropolis.
The study is an annual report released by INRIX called the Global Traffic Scorecard. INRIX is a company devoted to aggregating huge amounts traffic and driving data. The traffic data is useful to illustrate how much cities are growing and how they are handling that growth. The report is full of interesting tidbits. For instance; at 3.4 miles per hour, Dublin is the slowest city during congestion.
INRIX found that while the United State was fourth in over all traffic, the top ten most congested cities were largely American. Los Angeles, of course, tops the list. LA commuters spend and average of 104 hours a year staring at the bumper in front of them, a little over four full 24 hour days each year. Followed by New York in third place and San Francisco in fourth. Atlanta was eighth and Miami rounded up the list in the number 10 spot. Americans on a whole spend 42 hours a year in traffic. Cities outside the US that have legendary backups include Moscow at number two and the Columbian capitol of Bogotá at number five. Thailand was found to be the most congested country overall. Thais spend an average of 61 hours a year sitting in traffic.
