Nissan recalls 482,000 vehicles in US and Canada
The models affected by the recall are fitted with either 1.5L 3-cylinder or 2.0L 4-cylinder VT-Turbo engines, including the 2021-2024 model-year Nissan Rogues SUVs, 2019-2020 model-year Altimas, 2019-2022 model-year Infiniti QX50s, and 2022 model-year Infiniti QX55s. The engines were found to have possible manufacturing defects in their bearings, according to the NHTSA, which could cause engine damage and lead to possible engine failure while being driven. The NHTSA noted that engine bearing failures do not typically occur immediately, but the problems tend to get worse over time.
Some 444,000 of the vehicles to be recalled were sold in the US, while 38,000 were sold in Canada. Nissan said it will send out letters to owners of the affected vehicles in August to check for and remedy any damage.
Nissan sold a total of 488,526 vehicles in the US in the first half of 2025, down just slightly from last year. The Rogue was its best-selling model in this period with 47,461 deliveries, while sales of the Altima sedan amounted to 26,298 units.

Elon Musk says he's formed the 'America Party.' Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci are interested.
Elon Musk said on X that he's forming a new political party amid a feud with President Donald Trump. He said it would be called the "America Party." Musk has publicly criticized Trump's spending bill, which the president signed on July 4. Elon Musk declared on X the formation of a new political party amid his ongoing feud with President Donald Trump over the "Big Beautiful Bill." "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom," Musk wrote in an X post on Saturday afternoon. The Tesla CEO had said Friday on his social media platform that one way the new party could work is to focus on winning just a handful of Senate seats and House districts that could serve as the "deciding vote" on "contentious laws," given the "razor-thin legislative margins" in Congress. Fellow billionaire Mark Cuban appeared — not for the first time — to support the idea of a new party, replying to Musk's Saturday announcement with a series of fireworks and fire emojis. He added in a separate post: "I work with @voterchoice. They will help you get on ballots. That is their mission." SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as White House communications director under Trump in 2017, also appeared interested in the party. "I would like to meet to discuss. My DMs are open," he replied to Musk. Musk's "America Party" announcement came after he conducted a July 4 poll, asking X users if they want "independence" from the two-party system. About 65% of the 1.25 million participants voted "Yes." Musk, who was a staunch supporter of Trump's 2024 reelection bid, has been publicly critical of the president's "Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping domestic policy bill that includes extensive tax cuts and could add more than $3 trillion to the national debt, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Musk has characterized the bill on X as a form of "debt slavery." Just days after stepping away from his work at the White House DOGE Office, which was tasked with cutting spending and reducing the deficit, Musk in June called the legislation a "massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill." Musk then proposed the idea of forming a new political party that represents the "80% in the middle." Musk's repeated attacks on the bill led to a spectacular public fallout between him and the president. Trump even suggested that his office would look into possibly deporting Musk, a South African immigrant. Musk's July 4 poll on X came the same day Trump signed the bill into law. Musk and a White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. Musk's back-and-forth regarding his involvement in political affairs has been followed by volatile times for the CEO of Tesla, his EV company. Wall Street analysts, including Tesla bull Dan Ives, have said that Musk's politics could lead the company astray if the chief executive doesn't snap back into focus. Earlier in June, Baird analysts downgraded the Tesla stock, noting that the Musk-Trump spat adds "uncertainty to TSLA's outlook. Read the original article on Business Insider

This Boeing Powered Porsche Doesn't Have Wings But It Can Fly
Over the past several years, Boeing products have gotten something of a bad rap. A couple of deadly 737 Max crashes and an emergency-exit-door plug ejecting itself mid-flight will tend to do that. Some air travelers are now afraid to set foot on Boeing jets at all, but in the case of this 1982 Porsche 928 with Boeing power, a mechanical issue is only going to land you on the highway's shoulder, not falling from 30,000 feet. Under the shark's hood is a Boeing T50 Turboshaft engine originally used in a Vietnam War-era helicopter drone. Perhaps what's most insane is that this may not even be the only jet-powered Porsche 928 in existence. Member of the Porsche discussion forum Rennlist picked up on a red turboshaft-powered 928 back in 2008. Is the 928's V8 with its infamous timing belt so bad that it's more practical to swap in a helicopter engine?! Jokes aside, it's unclear if the two cars are actually different iterations of the same car, or perhaps share the same builder. Besides differing in color, the red car has a single large exhaust port sticking out of the hood whereas the burnt orange example has its hood butchered for two smaller ports. Both cars appear to have spent time in Oregon, so perhaps there is, indeed, a connection. If you know, drop a comment down below. Read more: These V6 Engines Put The LS1 V8 To Shame One of the issues with running aeronautical propulsion in your P-car is that peak horsepower occurs at a ridiculous 28,000-plus rpm — not unlike this gas-turbine Firebird concept car. In this case, a reduction gearbox tamps that down to a more harnessable 5,950 rpm. Reportedly, the T50 Turbofan makes about 300 horsepower in this unusual application. That's perhaps less horsepower than one might expect from such a bodacious power plant, but it's still more than the 231 hp this non-S model 928 had when stock. According to an Uncommon Classic Cars video that shows the Porsche running and driving, two batteries wired in series provide the 24 volts required get the beast started. The test driver also remarks that the hood-mounted exhaust stacks create an ethereal, wavy distortion in his line of sight. And oh yeah, the operating temperature is north of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Besides the elephant in the room under the hood, this 928 appears to be in pretty good shape. The paint is nice, it has larger-diameter (but mercifully original-equipment-looking) wheels, and the air conditioning is said to function. If small-block Chevy swaps like this 911 are too passé for you, this 130-decibel-generating 928 is for sale at Duncan Imports and Classics in Virginia. Admittedly, buyers don't seem to be beating down the door. It's been for sale for over a year, and the price has been slashed from $50,000 to a mere $29,747. That's definitely not the least expensive Porsche 928 on the market, but how many others can shoot afterburner flames from the hood? Want more like this?
