Car and Driver
My wife's new company car is a Nissan Altima, an unassuming sedan with a thirst for mayhem.
A RUSSIAN GUY DELIVERED THE ALTIMA on a one-car trailer at 10 p.m. on a rainy Tuesday night. My wife, Heather, drives a lot for her job as a nurse practitioner, so her company gave her a car. That car is a Glacier White 2025 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV, its window sticker boasting of its 39-mpg EPA highway rating, five-star safety score, and all-in price of $29,375. On its way off the trailer, the delivery guy dragged the chin spoiler on the ramps, giving the vehicle its first scrape. But surely not its last, because this is a Nissan Altima, the most chaotic car on earth.

A Legend's LEGACY
My friend Elaine Wynn, who died in April, was one of the visionaries behind modern Las Vegas. Alongside her ex-husband, Steve Wynn, she helped transform the Strip from a kitschy concrete and neon canyon into a global capital of luxury, spectacle, and aspiration. Though Elaine's daring vision and flair for design led to dazzling hotels that felt like fantasy dreamscapes, the genius of the woman who was called the Queen of Las Vegas was rooted in her sense of empathy and humanity.
