Domino’s Fixing Roads in the Name of Pizza Safety

Say what you will about the pizza, Domino’s advertising department has been on it lately and its latest campaign is good in more ways than one.

Rather than resorting to memes, nostalgia, or weirdly mean Twitter accounts, Domino’s has figured out what the kids are truly into: infrastructure.

That’s right! Domino’s is unsatisfied with your local government’s efforts and has started paving over potholes to ensure that your pizza gets to you safely.

The idea here is that America’s roads have gotten so shabby that pizza deliveries have suffered needlessly. Bounced and jolted by the roads, toppings shift, cheese slides, and crusts fold, none of which is acceptable for a company that’s proud of its pizza, or Domino’s either.

So Domino’s has been hiring crews to fix roads in Bartonville, Texas; Milford, Delaware; Burbank, California; and Athens, Georgia. And you can nominate your town to be next.

Be this a fun campaign, a scathing indictment of the American infrastructure system, or both, we can’t help but thank Domino’s for saving our rims and suspensions.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
