JACKSONVILLE – The day was wet, weird and wild – and historical. Most important: The Jaguars won when they really needed to win, and now have a bit of momentum as they prepare for their two-game stretch overseas. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw two for touchdowns and running back Tank Bigsby ran for two more as the Jaguars won on “Throwback Sunday” – a heart-stopping 37-34 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on a wet, gray October Sunday at EverBank Stadium. “Today it all came together,” Head Coach Doug Pederson said after the Jaguars’ first victory of the season. “I’m proud of…

Since stepping down as the head of Nissan design in 2017, Shiro Nakamura, the designer responsible for the R35-generation Nissan GT-R, as well as multiple other Nissan and Infiniti models, has been running his own design company SN Design Platform. The Tokyo-based design company will use the 2024 Paris auto show starting today to present the THK LSR-05, a four-door electric vehicle built to showcase new technologies from THK, a Japanese firm specializing in components that rely on linear motion with rolling contact. The LSR-05 was first shown as a concept at the 2023 Tokyo auto show, and in Paris…

The GT badge has held various meanings throughout the life of the Ford Mustang. It started as a $165 package in 1965, starred as Steve McQueen’s hero car in the 1968 film “Bullitt,” then took the 1970s off before marking the return of performance with the 5.0 in the 1980s, much to the delight of Vanilla Ice. While performance was its hallmark in the GT-390, 0-60 mph times didn’t drop appreciably for decades. That all changed in 2011 when Ford shoved a new 5.0-liter V-8, this one with dual overhead cams, under the hood. Today, that engine and a modern…

(On his thoughts after a game like that) “That’s a character-building win, you know. A lot of stuff went wrong, it’s like, man that was a pretty ugly ballgame, especially in the first half. But one thing we didn’t do is we didn’t flinch. We didn’t relax, we just stayed hungry, kept fighting, kept believing and found a way to get the win when it mattered. Your big-time players have to come up with big-time plays in big-time games and the way we started running the ball in the second half was inspiring. We still gave up too many yards…

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… New research from Syria’s Tel Hama, a town at the edge of the Ebla Kingdom, shows that 4,500-years-ago, at the time of the Early Bronze Age, two-thirds of the pottery was made by children, starting at the ages of seven and eight! The ancient craft and other kinds of industrial enterprises used child labor practices, showing a historical continuity between relatively modern industrial practices, and those far predating industrial times. The team of archaeologists from Tel Aviv University and the National Museum in Copenhagen conducted a detailed analysis of 450 pottery vessels from Tel…

Bill Stroppe played a pivotal role in shaping Ford’s motorsports program in the 1950s and the ensuing two decades, overseeing a diverse program that at different points included road races through Mexico, building and campaigning Indy cars, and perhaps most famously riding together with the likes of Parnelli Jones at Baja. Stroppe’s big Broncos, built in his shop in Long Beach in the ’60s and ’70s, were legendary in off-road racing. They featured all the modifications necessary for a successful run in the Baja 1000, and typically came with a livery combining red, white, and blue, plus a black hood.…
