Why a car that shouldn’t exist is so great

Why a car that shouldn’t exist is so great

The all new Subaru BRZ shouldn’t even exist. What use is there for Subaru and Toyota (which helped co-develop the car and has its version, the 86), for a gas-powered, and not even turbocharged, sports car in this day and age when it’s all about EVs?

We’re going to do somewhere around $22 billion in capex, that’s our guidance.

Yahoo DFS Baseball: Sunday Picks

Yahoo DFS Baseball: Sunday Picks

Here we go! Two teams could clinch a spot in the World Series on Sunday! The Astros and Phillies are both one win away. Can they pull it off? For now, here are my DFS recommendations. First pitch is at 2:37 p.m. ET. Pitching Zack Wheeler, PHI vs. SD ($40): Getting Wheeler as the lowest-salaried pitcher is, frankly, a steal. In fact, he arguably has the highest upside of any pitcher in action. He had an 1.85 ERA at home this season. Nestor Cortes was also quite good at home, but the Astros are… Source link
