🚗 Fastest car under $1 million: I’m a car gal, so I love this story. The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 hit a top speed of 233 mph on a 7.6-mile test track in Germany. You may know it’s one of the heaviest sports cars, starting at $174,995. To punch above its weight, GM engineers simulated it to prep for the test. The computer was only off by 1.09 mph. How cool. I tried a computer sim once, but I was only spinning my wheels.

Don’t use a free VPN: Many log your keystrokes, track your activity and even sell your data, making you less secure, not more. Stick with a trusted, no-log VPN instead. Get four months free from the VPN I trust.
