It’s August, which means it’s still too hot to fish, but that also means it’s almost time for the number-one-ranked University of Georgia Bulldogs to make a run for their third national championship in four years. There have been a lot of changes between this season and the last, but other than perhaps the switch … Read more
If you’re looking for an electric truck that still feels like a regular pickup, you’re going to have a hard time beating the Ford F-150 Lightning.
