Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months |
|
|
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is. |
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness. |
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you. |
New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed. |

British firm Lanzante is making the track-only Bolide road-legal, debuting it at Goodwood with new X-shaped LED headlights and softened suspension. The 8.0 liter quad-turbo W16 stays put, producing just under 1,600 horsepower (1,194 kW) in a car under 3,200 pounds (1,450 kg). Only 40 exist. |

Technology, Market Data & Analysis |
|
Americans bought 2.2% fewer new cars in the first half of 2026 but 9% more hybrids, per Kelley Blue Book, as models like the RAV4, Camry, and Jeep Cherokee went hybrid-only. EVs rose 14.7% quarter over quarter yet still made up just 5.8% of sales. |
|
The EPA has proposed scrapping the power derates and limp modes that diesel trucks enter when their DEF systems fail or run dry, replacing them with audible and visual alerts. Administrator Lee Zeldin pegs the savings at $12 billion, or up to $6,000 per vehicle, for 2027 models onward. |

Car Culture |
|
To mark 40 years in North America, Acura built a race-prepped tribute to its first competition car, the 1987 Integra. Fully analog—manual steering, cable throttle, no ABS—it wears period-correct Mugen wheels, TEIN suspension, and a Torsen diff, tipping the scales at a featherweight 2,152 pounds (975 kg). |
|
This unassuming mocha coupe is a Ford skunkworks prototype that ran 182.694 mph (294 km/h) at Bonneville in 1992, setting a class record. Blueprinted by engineer Jerry Wroblewski—who later founded tuner SCT—its 290 horsepower (216 kW) modular V-8 just sold online for $18,323. |

Miscellaneous |

A prior fix for the 2020–2024 Telluride's power-seat switch didn't hold, so Kia and NHTSA are telling owners of the 462,869 affected SUVs to park outside. A damaged switch can run the seat motor continuously and overheat, risking a fire even when parked; the new repair adds an electronic fuse. |
|
For a 100 mile (161 km) ultramarathon, Rivian's Special Projects team turned an R1T Quad into the "Recharge Truck," a mobile aid station. Powered by its 140 kWh battery, it runs tailgate slushie machines, frunk ice coolers, a pull-out snack rack, and 360-degree cooling sail shades. |
