2021 Bentley Bentayga: These Are the 8 Biggest Interior Improvements
Bentley created the ultra-luxury SUV segment when it debuted the Bentayga five years ago, paving the way for rivals like Aston Martin, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce. While we admire the stately SUV for its strong performance on and off the road, we’re somewhat disappointed with its lean list of standard features, especially given its six-figure price tag. Now, Bentley is updating the Bentayga with a more modern cabin. These are the eight biggest improvements Bentley has made to the interior. Larger Touchscreen One thing that revealed the Bentayga’s old age is its 8-inch touchscreen. Considering rivals like Mercedes and Cadillac are offering much larger units, it was time for Bentley to upgrade. Now, the 2021 Bentley Bentayga gets a respectably sized 10.9-inch touchscreen with ne...
Do It for Dale (Jr.) and Bid on His Old NASCAR Chevy SS Race Car
Dale Earnhardt Jr. may no longer spend his weekends competing in NASCAR, but the North Carolina native’s mark on the sport remains as deep as ever. So why not let the world know you’re a Dale Jr. fan by bidding on one of his old racing machines? This NASCAR Chevy was driven by the son of the Intimidator himself on five occasions between 2012 and 2014, according to documents provided to RM Sotheby’s. Set up specifically for road course duty, this bow-tie-badged race car took Jr. to a third-place finish at Sonoma in 2014. Its four other outings, however, were less successful, with the car reportedly placing 28th at its inaugural race at Watkins Glen in 2012, 12th at Sonoma in 2013, and 30th and 11th at Watkins Glen in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

More than a year after The New York Times published a report of alleged sexual misconduct by Ryan Adams, the singer has written a lengthy apology for his past behavior. “There are no words to express how bad I feel about the ways I’ve mistreated people through my life and career,” the singer-songwriter began in his open letter, which he shared with the Daily Mail. “All I can say is that I’m sorry.” “I’ve gotten past the point where I would be apologizing just for the sake of being let off the hook and I know full well that any apology from me probably won’t be accepted by those I’ve hurt,” he continued. “I get that and I also understand that there’s no going back.” Adams went on to acknowledge that he ...
