Since the formal merging of Mercedes and AMG in 2005 to form Mercedes-AMG GmbH the German performance subbrand has been on an interesting trajectory, especially with the relatively recent introduction of diet-AMG models like the 43 and 53 cars. Where spotting an AMG badge on the back of a Mercedes-Benz used to mean something seriously special, the brand has become somewhat diluted with the democratization of the AMG badge. But don’t get it twisted. The new 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance is a full-fat AMG car with a handbuilt engine and eye-watering performance capabilities.

Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

I’ve said before a few times that I own a power station and use it regularly down here in Florida. Besides the occasional power outage for whatever reason — come on, we all know it happens — Florida is also graced with some pretty extreme storms, not just hurricanes. It’s good to have a backup power solution handy because when the power goes out you never really know when it’s coming back, especially during a major event. A power station can keep your phones and devices powered up, for emergency calls or staying in touch with family, but also they can power bigger devices like small appliances. You could effectively cook food with the power out and keep your family fed, cool, and happy. The power station I own, specifically, is the EcoFlow DELTA 2, which is available for $100 off at Walmart. Usually $649, you can grab it today for $549. That’s an excellent deal, especially since when I got mine the regular price was over $1,000.

This is it Chief: The EcoFlow DELTA 2 is only $549 today — $100 off

We first caught wind of Polydrops way back in 2019.

But the California-based company seemed to go relatively dark since then — until now. Behold the next-gen Polydrops P21 camper trailer.

It's sleek, modern, crazy aerodynamic, and packed full of off-grid tech features
