<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-28T16:15:55+00:00“>April 28, 2021 | 12:15pm ET Randy Quaid, the 70-year-old actor best known for his character Cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise, wants to run for Governor of California. He announced his intent to run Tuesday on Twitter with an informal statement bashing the state’s district attorneys. “I’m seriously considering running for governor,” tweeted Quaid on Tuesday. “The prosecutorial corruption in California (esp Santa Barbara & the Bell scandal) is rampant; and I promise that if elected I will clean up the District Attorney Offices throughout the state. #RandyQuaid4CAGOV” Quaid is a longtime Republican and has been a vocal supporter of Don...
Put on ICE: The Upcoming Lotus Emira Is a Final Goodbye to Gas
Lotus has revealed the Type 131, known as the Emira, and its new sports car is an interesting follow-up to the all-electric Evija. We use the word interesting because, contrary to some rumors that have swirled about its nature, the Emira will definitely use conventional gas powertrains—no electrification here. Moving forward, all vehicles from Lotus will be EVs. See all 19 photos Its gas-burning nature will make the new Emira more like every other Lotus ever made before it, including the long-running Elise, Exige, and Evora. Still, the Emira will share some design elements with its all-electric stablemate, including the large hoop-like elements out back and the stacked headlights up front—both reinterpreted from the Evija. The latest announcement by Lotus includes a very typical teaser tha...
This Nissan Frontier Outpost Camper Truck is a Shockingly Affordable Overlanding Rig
Compared to TruckHouse’s work, the Caravan Outfitter’s mods here are real straightforward. First, you need a truck. For Caravan, the truck in question is a 2020 Nissan Frontier—with the new 310-hp V-6 and nine-speed automatic transmission combo that’ll appear in the heavily revised 2022 Frontier, as well. The primary enhancement listed by Caravan Outfitter is the Ikamper Skycamp Mini roof tent, which has been mounted on a massive Yakima-brand rack that sits atop the Nissan’s pickup bed. The Yakima rack also holds a set of recovery boards for getting the truck out of tight spots, and there is a Yeti Tundra 45-quart cooler—which you can only get if you pre-order the rig, for some reason—for getting you into relaxed, cold-beverage-enjoyment spots.

Luke Bryan Talks ‘Proud’ Tour and Forgetting His Own Lyrics
There’s a slight problem. Do you ever forget the lyrics to songs that you ought to know so, so well? Luke Bryan has that issue. “I’ve always been a guy who loves to be on the road and love to be out there with the fans, and interacting,” he told Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night’s edition of The Tonight Show. Bryant has done some live streaming concerts, though he’s “forgetting the words to my songs quite a bit.” There’s a bit of rust to shake off. “I’m gonna have to sit in my music room and go back and listen to (those songs),” he explained. “I’m going to have to do a little extra prep, I’m a little out of practice with some of this stuff.” Bryan also talked about his judging stint on American Idol, going gray and being confused for Blake Shelton.

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-28T16:17:49+00:00“>April 28, 2021 | 12:17pm ET Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has defended Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich for the latter’s infamous legal battle with file-sharing service Napster. In a new interview, Taylor said Ulrich “was so right on so many f**king levels” regarding the future of digital music and the compensation of artists. “I remember everyone giving him so much shit ’cause of that,” Taylor told Steve-O on the latter’s “Wild Ride!” podcast (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). “It’s scary. And I wonder how many people look back and eat a little crow because of that… ‘Cause he knew — he knew that this was the direction we were going.” Related Video In May 200...

Dash Berlin Are Searching for a New Frontman
In search of a new frontman after the ouster of Jeffrey Sutorius, iconic trance outfit Dash Berlin have opened the auditions to the public. The group split up back in 2018 after an ugly legal dispute, with former frontman Sutorius citing “mismanagement” and “neglect” at the hands of his Dash Berlin bandmates, Eelke Kalberg and Sebastiaan Molijn. What followed was a lengthy and bitter trademark battle between the three men that eventually came to an end last month, when Sutorius announced that the group’s trademarks were officially transferred to his former group-mates, calling the move “very unfair.” Jeffrey Sutorius performing as Dash Berlin at ASOT600 Live during Miami’s Ultra Music Festival 2013.

Hennessey Will Make a Mammoth (SUV) Out of Your Ram 1500 TRX
Oh, America. Your penchant for “more everything, all the time” sometimes reaps unexpected consequences. As evidence, we present this: the Ram 1500 TRX, transformed into the Hennessey Mammoth SUV. More everything, in this instance, includes seats—seven, in total. Here are the headline figures. The first is an eye-popping 1,012 horsepower and 969 lb-ft of torque from the TRX supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that lowers the claimed 0-60 sprint time to 3.2 seconds—for reference, the TRX we tested did the deed in 4.1 seconds. But the extra power from a new supercharger, new high flow injectors, a new intake, and some high flow cats isn’t the biggest news here. That’s actually the fact that Hennessey plans to turn your supercharged pickup into an SUV with seating for seven...
The 2022 Toyota Sienna Woodland Special Edition Is the SUV of Minivans
Toyota is attempting to pull a Subaru by serving up a toughened-up family vehicle for more adventurous buyers. The automaker is also promising to donate some money from every sale of this buffer vehicle to a worthy cause—in this case, the National Environmental Education Foundation. So, what’s Toyota serving up would-be Subaru buyers? The 2022 Sienna Woodland Special Edition minivan, which is beefed up with extra ground clearance, a tow hitch, and a 1,500-watt power outlet. Starting with the all-wheel-drive Sienna variant (front-wheel drive is standard elsewhere in the Sienna lineup), the Woodland model’s suspension is jacked up by way of special shocks and springs that add 0.6 inch more ground clearance to Toyota’s people mover. The lift is subtle on paper. In photos, ho...
