Ugly cars: Car designs not even a mother could love

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:06:29 GMT

(iSeeCars) -- The people behind the scenes in the automotive industry spend years designing the cars we drive. Despite their best efforts, not every car design is one that’s well-received. Maybe it’s underpowered or doesn’t handle well, or maybe it’s just how the car looks. We’ve all seen ugly cars and wondered how they ever rolled off the assembly line. You can find ugly cars from pretty much every automotive era, so it’s been an issue as long as cars have existed.A myriad of design flaws can make a car look bad, from oddly shaped bumpers to awkwardly-angled rear windows to confusing lines that don’t know whether they want a car to be a station wagon or a coupe. Most of the ugliest cars ever made are, thankfully, not for sale anymore, but you can still find many of these (ugly) used cars for sale today.

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:06:29 GMT

It has been an uneven run, players coming and going amid the struggle for a mid-tier playoff seed.But now, a playoff berth has been secured. Thoughts can turn to the postseason.No, not the Miami Heat, at least not yet.But for the Heat’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, it’s playoff time starting Tuesday, the first time the Heat’s affiliate has made the postseason since 2016, which also is the lone time the Heat’s affiliate won the G League title.Typically, such matters are, well, minor league.But this has not been a typical year, with significant cross pollination between the Heat and Skyforce, to the degree that five players have seen action for both the Heat and Skyforce this season.That has had former Heat forward Kasib Powell working a balancing act in his second season as Skyforce coach.“One of the goals and expectations we had was making the playoffs,” Powell said. “And in this league, only 12 [of 30] teams do.

3/25/2023: A little wintry mix, then rain

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:06:29 GMT

The latest Storm Tracker Forecast from meteorologist Matt Mackie: An approaching weather system will bring a bit of wintry mix, with a change to rain for many by late morning as temperatures warm to the upper 30's.In the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks, however, cooler temperatures mean that snow or sleet may hold on into the early afternoon. That will lead to slightly higher (but still low-end) totals.It will be blustery both as this system impacts us today and immediately in its wake tomorrow. Expect the strongest gusts in the Adirondacks and Greens, where a Wind Advisory is in effect through Sunday - a couple branches may come down.We clear out as the day goes on Sunday - a high of 50 looks nice on the surface, but with the wind its still a brisk feel out there. Monday looks great, with less wind and lots of sun.A few showery periods are possible Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday looks dry but seasonably cool. More clouds for Friday.
