Bugatti has developed a special garage to display its vehicles
The FG-01 Bugatti Edition is the ultimate garage
Bugatti garage

Although admittedly, I have never owned a Bugatti, I have owned a few exciting cars over the years. And while most of those purchases were made out of my love for each one, I would be lying if I said that the head-turns and thumbs up I received while driving those vehicles did not add to the fun of ownership.

Multiplying that feeling exponentially, I can only imagine that if I were to pay several million dollars for any of Bugatti's unbelievably stellar machines, I would want to show it off to anyone and everyone I could, driving or not.

Although Tesla held the title of most vehicles recalled for 2024, Ford Motor Company was hot on its heels with the number two spot. In one of its most recent recalls filed with the NHTSA, the Blue Oval added nearly 300,000 more vehicles to that total (which still leaves Tesla roughly half a million in the lead) because of another side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ford is bringing back certain F250, F350, F450, F550, F650, and F750 Super Duty and Medium Truck vehicles equipped with its 6.7-liter Scorpion diesel engine. It seems that these pickup trucks' motors can form dangerous biodiesel deposits on the fuel pump drivetrain roller components. These deposits can then lead to the engine's high-pressure fuel pump failing, causing a potentially catastrophic cascade of damage.
