An 11-Car Garage Mansion In Laguna Beach Is Going To Auction

If you happen to land the jackpot in the near future, this luxurious oceanfront mansion nestled in Laguna Beach, California, and surrounded by 20,000 acres of protected wilderness. Sure, an oceanfront view and 900-bottle wine room are some main selling points, but this insane home was dubbed a "collector's dream" by the auction house because it features an underground garage big enough for eleven cars.

This insane piece of real estate named "Maison De Cap", meaning "Cape House" in French, sits on Smithcliffs bluff with a view overlooking Emerald Beach, and it last sold for $11.7 million before selling for $10.7 million back in June 2018.

Only eleven?

If I cleared out the wine room how many more cars could I fit in there?

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a giant limestone statue in Egypt that depicts a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a person. It is one of the oldest and largest monuments in human history, but no one knows for sure who built it or why it is missing a key facial feature. Paint residue found near one ear also suggests the Sphinx was not always tan, but instead, covered in color.

Built in the 5th century BC, the Parthenon is easily one of the most recognizable structures in Greece, sitting atop a hill above Athens. The temple was filled with ornate sculptures and a statue of the goddess Athena.

Chevrolet Performance used the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada to unveil its latest crate engine, called the SP383 EFI. Just like the name indicates, it does feature electronic fuel injection, but there’s a twist. This crate engine is also patterned after the venerable 383 Small Block stroker V8, so you get plenty of torque combined with improved drivability.

Performance is front and center in the design of this crate engine. It comes with port-styling injection, similar to the ZZ6 EFI. According to Chevrolet, output is rated at 450 horsepower and 436 lb.-ft. of torque, which are some nice solid numbers.

Notice there are no seat/shoulder belts on this car. That's because it was built for Export: to Japan.

Dodge has issued a recall for 173 cars, all various types of Challengers and Chargers, because the incorrect front wheels were installed at the factory, and could cause damage to the tires, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing.

The recall, first announced on October 24, claims the setup could cause the front tires to make contact with the steering knuckle, which could rip a hole in the rubber and cause it to deflate, increasing the risk of a crash.


According to Allpar.com, the cars affected were manufactured between May 28 and September 25. The list of vehicles affected include 111 Chargers and 62 Challengers, all with a specific high-gloss black wheel and brake package that "should not have been an available option" from the factory," a NHTSA recall report said.

"Green Eggs and Ham" was first published in 1960 and it's since become one of the most popular children's books in the world. Yet, for some reason, the dish itself hasn't quite caught on among mainstream eateries ... until now.

Nearly 60 years after the Dr. Seuss classic hit shelves, Subway has decided to make a sandwich with — you guessed it! — ham topped with eggs that have green yolks.


If you are wondering why now . . . it's because of Neflix's new cartoon series which debuts today:
