Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units.

A lot of cars get canceled because nobody is buying them, but these two were wildly popular, compounding the confusion. Adding insult to injury, Dodge announced that these fearsome Mopar gas-burners would be replaced with a EV, that would steal valor from the iconic Charger Daytona nameplate.
