Time Capsule 1995 Dodge Viper Only Has 15K Miles
A pristine 1995 Dodge Viper RT/10 with just 15,000 miles on the odometer is now available at auction, offered at no reserve. This first-generation Viper, a standout in the world of American muscle cars, is in remarkable condition and has been modified for enhanced performance and aesthetics.
Finished in Viper Red with a Quartz leather interior, the car features several upgrades, including a revised exhaust system, smooth air-intake tubes, and an Autoform removable hardtop. It rides on 18-inch BBS Y-spoke wheels and is fitted with Toyo Proxes R888 R tires, adding a more aggressive stance. Additional modifications include 5/8-inch suspension lowering caps and a Pioneer stereo system. The car is powered by the iconic 8.0-liter V10 engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which sends 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential.
The Viper RT/10, originally delivered to Lloyd Treadway Chrysler Plymouth Dodge in Findlay, Ohio, is a true example of the Viper's raw performance capabilities. With no reserve price, the car is being offered with the original window sticker, owner's manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title. A soft top, not currently installed, and the original 17-inch three-spoke wheels with Michelin tires are also included.
Known for its bold design, featuring a forward-opening clamshell hood and side-exit exhaust outlets, this Viper retains its classic appearance with slight modifications, such as clear front turn signal lenses. Despite a few scuffs on the underside of the front bumper, the car's overall condition remains superb, and it is a true collector's item for anyone interested in American performance vehicles from the 1990s.

Inside Tesla's new retro-futuristic Supercharger diner
Tesla has opened the doors to its first diner Supercharger station in Los Angeles. CEO Elon Musk first teased the concept of building a drive-in themed charging station in 2018. On Monday, that vision was finally realized. Tesla describes the two-story restaurant, constructed of a steel exterior inspired by the Cybertruck, as retro-futuristic. It features 80 charging stalls and two 66-foot megascreens playing a rotation of short films, feature-length movies and Tesla videos. The diner operates 24/7 serving classic American comfort food, such as burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches and milkshakes, to both electric vehicle owners charging their cars and the general public. CNBC visited the site and spoke with early patrons, who praised both the design and the food. "It's pretty cool. It has a very vintage vibe, but futuristic vibe at the same time" said Taju, who stopped by with a friend who drives a Tesla. "I would bring friends from out of town, they would be very impressed coming to a place like this" said Don, a Model 3 owner who visited with his wife and neighbor. Also on display for a limited time was Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot, which served popcorn and interacted playfully with guests. Less than 24 hours after opening, the line to order food stretched around the block. Musk has said that if the concept proves successful, Tesla may open similar diner Supercharger stations in other major cities. Watch the video to see what it's like inside Tesla's first diner charging station.

Trump's EPA repeal of climate change rule will result in ‘slow suffocation' of Black communities
'They're playing in our faces, rewriting the rules to protect corporate profits while our neighborhoods pay the price with our public health and pocketbooks,' said Dorien Blythers, former EPA official during the Biden-Harris administration. The Trump administration has taken steps to undo a key federal scientific finding that has been used to combat the climate change crisis in the United States for more than 15 years. The move stands to exacerbate the vulnerabilities of a warming planet and pollution, most especially Black and Brown communities, which are disproportionately exposed to environmental harms. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reportedly drafted a proposal to rescind a 2009 rule that has been used to regulate air pollution. The rule, known as the 'endangerment finding,' scientifically established that greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, endanger human lives, reports The New York Times. The finding has been the federal government's only tool to limit exposure to climate pollution derived from vehicles, power plants, and other industries contributing to global warming. The Times reports that the EPA's proposal also calls for repealing limits on tailpipe emissions intended to encourage automakers to build and sell more electric vehicles—a key effort to reduce emissions from combustion vehicles. According to the report, the Trump administration will argue in its proposal that, rather than greenhouse gases, the real harm to human health is the years-long regulations resulting from endangerment findings. The administration argues that climate regulations increase prices and reduce consumer choice. They also argue that over the years, the EPA has overstepped its legal authority under the Clean Air Act by making a broad finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health. Dorien Blythers, former EPA Chief of Staff for Operations during the Biden-Harris administration, condemned the Trump administration's proposal as a 'shameless attempt to gut hard-won science' in endangerment findings. He told theGrio that the EPA is choosing to 'twist the law to serve polluters, not the American people.' Worst of all, Blythers said Black Americans will acutely suffer the health consequences of this decision. 'Let's call it what it is: a slow suffocation of Black communities already choking on toxic air, blistering heat, and environmental neglect,' he told theGrio. When Blythers served in the Biden administration, former EPA Administrator Michael Regan announced an endangerment finding that emissions of lead from aircrafts that operate on leaded fuel cause or contribute to air pollution. The latest move from the Trump administration is among several that steadily distanced itself from Biden-era policies aimed at fighting climate change and protecting human health from environmental harms like air pollution. Since returning to office, President Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement and signed an executive order to resume federal coal leasing. His 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act,' which he signed into law on July 4, rescinded tax credits intended to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and manufacturing clean energy technologies like solar and wind. The proposed rescinding of the endangerment finding rule is sure to face legal challenges. Blythers said the Trump plan is 'misguided' and is 'just another page' in the administration's 'big beautiful betrayal.' 'They're playing in our faces, rewriting the rules to protect corporate profits while our neighborhoods pay the price with our public health and pocketbooks,' he said. A 2024 study from Stanford Medicine found that Black Americans are significantly more likely to die from causes related to air pollution, compared to other racial and ethnic groups. According to the study, '[Black Americans] face a double jeopardy: more exposure to polluted air along with more susceptibility to its adverse health effects because of societal disadvantages.' The researchers say reducing air pollution could be a 'powerful and achievable way' to address the inequities facing Black communities.

Elon Musk's Tesla Diner Is Now Open: Here's What People Are Saying
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's new diner opened in Hollywood on Monday, drawing crowds of people hoping to charge their cars and experience the new "retro-futuristic" restaurant. On the social media platform X, Musk posted, "If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long-distance routes. "An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging!" Newsweek reached out to Tesla requesting further comment.

Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images What is the Tesla Diner? Musk originally brought up the concept of the retro-diner concept in 2018. The Tesla Diner & Drive-In combines a 1950s-style American diner with Tesla technology. Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, it's open 24/7 and features both indoor and outdoor seating for up to 250 people. Visitors—both Tesla owners and walk-ins—can order burgers, wings, hot dogs and milkshakes via kiosks or the Tesla Diner app, which is built into the car's touchscreen. The meals are served in novelty Cybertruck-shaped boxes by roller-skating staff and Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots. While dining, guests watch curated short films on two 45-foot-wide LED screens with audio piped into Tesla car systems for drive-in customers. The diner also functions as a Tesla merchandise store and aims to be a tourist-friendly cultural stop, not just a car-charging hub. What People Are Saying On r/teslamotors, many Reddit users said they enjoyed their experience at the diner. User Radwick_reddit, who visited the diner with his son, told Newsweek in a message that he felt like he was witnessing food history: "Like being at the first McDonald's right after it opened up." He added that the food was pricey, and that he and several other attendees felt the kids' meal should have come with a toy. However, the $11 souvenir cup was well worth it: "Come to find out, the souvenir cup was metal, which you couldn't tell by looking at it," he told Newsweek. "The artwork on the cup is of the Tesla Diner at night, covered in mostly black and neon colors with a nice neon script along one of the sides that says 'Hollywood, CA'." 'It was so on point' After eating, they stood in line to get free popcorn from the Optimus robot, which the user's son enjoyed. According to the user, the robot takes the box, fills it with popcorn, then hands it to you and makes a peace sign with its fingers, holding the pose until you move away. "The couple in front of us swapped positions to take photos with the robot, and it recognized what was happening and caught itself mid-action of turning away so it could turn back to face the camera," he explained. "It was so on point with its reactions, you would think someone was in a back room controlling this thing." 'Food prices are too high' The duo also bought merchandise from the store—a hat and a Cybertruck wind-up toy, which the user said was good quality. "Overall, it was a fun visit, we had a great time, but I think the food prices are too high, probably due to its location of just being a few blocks away from the tourist trap called Hollywood Blvd," he wrote. "In different markets, I can see these diners do well as long as they can have competitive prices. If I were doing a road trip, I would definitely plan my charging stops around stopping at a diner." 'Better than expected' On a separate thread, a Redditor shared the futuristic-looking exterior of the diner. "It looks better than expected now that I see it open," they wrote, adding that they live nearby. "I met the chef putting this place together. Incredibly cool guy! Would eat here for that alone," another user remarked. The Menu One user posted a photo of the menu, which interested several Redditors. One noted that the menu listed that its ingredients were "sourced within range of a fully charged Tesla". "I gotta admit, that's an amusing twist on locally sourced," they added. Other users were impressed that the restaurant appeared to be reasonably priced, with one noting, "For post-pandemic LA, these are extremely affordable prices." 'The Diner of the future' On X, users praised the food and the ambience at the diner, with one praising the diner's burger, giving it a 9/10, as well as Tesla's "Epic Bacon" appetizer, calling it a "must try". He did, however, note that the free popcorn was "legitimately terrible" due to a lack of salt or butter. "Vibes at the Tesla Diner are 10/10 tonight," another user added. "The Diner of the future." Newsweek reached out to users requesting further comment.
