The 1990s wasn’t the best decade for muscle cars, but some of the names that began in the 1950s and 1960s continued into this decade as top-shelf choices for aggression and power. These muscle cars included many qualities from their predecessors that made them fun and active on any road during the decade.

America is synonymous with the muscle car class and has been the birthplace of many iconic muscle cars since 1949, following the debut of the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. There is still a selection of muscle cars available in 2024, but only one is still produced in America: the Ford Mustang.

Luxury cars have come a long way in the past 30 years. Back in the 90s, it was luxury for a large sedan to have leather seats, automatic climate control, and a CD player. Nowadays, luxury cars have massive screens in the front and back seats, rear-seat foot rest, heated armrests, and enough LED lights to illuminate a nightclub.

Thanks to the miracle of modern turbo and supercharging, there are four and six-cylinder engines that generate unholy amounts of horsepower, but they almost seem like they're cheating and don't carry the same vibe of a big honking V-8 engine. Eight cylinders simply seem like the correct number for a muscle car or even a luxury performance ride. Sadly, the V-8 is on the endangered species list now, as the small turbos, hybrids, and even all-electrics are taking over.

Luxury cars are considered luxurious, not just because they have leather interiors and fancy features. In fact, a top-trim Honda Civic has those. But a true luxury car is a flagship model that encompasses nearly everything the luxury brand has to offer. It's a rolling symbol of what the automaker stands for and an outward expression of the person driving it.

It'll come as no surprise to anyone that Ford Motor Company has a long history of making cars in the United States. Henry Ford built his first simple car, which was powered by a single cylinder gasoline engine of his creation and sat on four bicycle wheels, in 1896. The Ford Motor Company, founded in June 1903, sold its first car in July 1903. One of Ford's most important automobiles, the wildly successful Model T, began production in 1908. By 1913, workers on the moving assembly line at Ford's Highland Park factory could build a Model T in 90 minutes.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Back in 1960, the pickup truck segment would change forever with the release of the all-purpose International Scout, which can be credited for kickstarting the trend of rugged, off-road-focused, yet practical trucks that still sit at the top of the American automotive industry today. After decades of absence, the Scout marquee will be brought back under the newly started, aptly named Scout Motors, exclusively for the U.S. and under the wing of Volkswagen.

What The New Scout Pickup Needs To Dominate The Market
