This 1980s Domino’s delivery car looks like a spaceship, and you can buy it

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 02:41:08 GMT

(CNN) — The 1985 Domino’s Pizza delivery car looks more like it was designed to shoot down invading alien spacecraft than to bring you a hot delicious pepperoni pie. But back in the ’80s, Domino’s founder Tom Monaghan ordered 10 Tritan A2 cars and customized them with warming ovens in the back to deliver pizzas around Ann Arbor, Michigan, where Domino’s is headquartered.Just a few survive today. One of them is being offered for sale at a Las Vegas classic car auction on November 10. Even the car’s current owner admits, it’s pretty terrible to drive and probably wasn’t even that great at delivering pizza. But it does look awfully cool.The Tritan A2 was designed by engineers James Amick and his son Douglas. It’s similar to a series of other vehicles they designed with large arch-shaped rear wings. The wings were designed to capture crosswinds to help provide forward propulsion, like a sail, along with electric motors or gasoline engines. It’s unclear if this partic...

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 02:41:08 GMT

The New England Patriots are in a tough spot, and with the trade deadline now only two weeks away the team may soon conclude it’s best to look ahead to the future.That means several veterans in their contract years could be moved, and at least one acknowledged on Wednesday he’s considered the possibility he could be traded in the weeks ahead.“Definitely will be on my mind, but just being ready for whatever man,” said wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. “I want to be here, I love to be here, but if there are other plans then it is what it is.”Bourne is among a number of Patriots approaching free agency who would be coveted on the trade market, and the team could use them to load up on draft picks and better position themselves for 2024 and beyond.Others in a similar boat include linebackers Josh Uche and Anfernee Jennings, tight ends Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki, offensive linemen Trent Brown and Mike Onwenu, running back Ezekiel Elliot, and defensive ...

Business, faith groups rally around Healey’s housing bill as transfer tax draws opposition

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 02:41:08 GMT

Business and faith organizations cheered a $4.1 billion housing bond bill filed by Gov. Maura Healey as a potential silver bullet to counteract the high cost of living in Massachusetts while real estate and fiscal groups pushed back on parts of the proposal.Advocates said the legislation comes at a crucial moment in Massachusetts as high costs of housing and living push people out of cities and towns to other parts of the country. Critics, like the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, argue the legislation is packed with “just about every bad idea.”Associated Industries of Massachusetts President Brooke Thompson said the business group supports the bill, and the development of “reasonably priced housing” in Massachusetts will ensure workers can live and raise families in the state.“Virtually every employer in Massachusetts has at one time heard a valued employee say: ‘I love working for this company, but my family can’t afford a house here,’” Thompson said in a statement. “AIM looks forwa...
