Dodge Viper ACR
The Viper ACR was introduced for the 1999 model year, following as the second-generation from the Dodge Viper GTS. ACR, an acronym for American Club Racer, was created to be an aerodynamic monster. Over multiple generations, the ACR was engineered to maximize capability, creating a reputation of aggressive aerodynamics and record-setting performance.

Dodge Viper ACR models combined the Viper’s massive V-10 power with advanced racing suspension. Considered by some as the “ultimate Viper,” the Dodge Viper ACR set records at six racetracks in North America, including Laguana Saca, Sonoma Raceway and Virginia International Speedway. Famous for its side-mounted exhaust pipes, the Dodge Viper ACR is known as one of the most capable track-focused American cars ever produced and stands as a symbol of American performance engineering.

Dodge
For 112 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Today, that legacy roars louder than ever in the lineup of Dodge, America’s performance brand.

The Dodge Charger multi-energy lineup features:

SIXPACK-powered 420-horsepower Dodge Charger R/T with the most standard horsepower of any muscle car550-horsepower Dodge Charger Scat Pack, powered by the 3.0L twin-turbo SIXPACK high-output (H.O.) engine – the most powerful Hurricane engine in productionQuickest and most powerful AWD muscle car in the all-electric 670-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack

Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers two-door coupe or four-door sedan configurations – because with performance comes choice.

The Dodge lineup is also fueled by the most powerful gas SUV ever, the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, powered by the legendary supercharged HEMI V-8 engine. The Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak breaks free from convention with the three-row SUV, unlocking more than 14 million potential customization combinations. The Dodge Durango R/T 392 delivers the most horsepower per dollar for a gas SUV, and the 360-horsepower 5.7-liter Durango GT HEMI AWD remains the most affordable AWD V-8 in the industry.

The purchase of a SIXPACK-powered Charger Scat Pack, Charger Daytona Scat Pack or Durango SRT Hellcat model includes one day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School, the official Dodge//SRT high-performance driving school.

Terrapin Stationers and Jerry Garcia Music Arts team up to rerelease J.Garcia: Paintings, Drawings and Sketches, the rare original collection.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of Jerry Garcia’s birthday, Jerry Garcia Music Arts has partnered with Ted Harrington and his company, Terrapin Stationers , to rerelease Jerry’s acclaimed art book, J.Garcia: Paintings, Drawings and Sketches, originally printed in 1992.

While best known globally as the legendary lead vocalist and guitarist for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was just as accomplished and passionate as a visual artist as he was a musician. Today, his visual works continue to be celebrated, appearing in gallery exhibits and museums worldwide.

The book contains a deeply personal dedication from Jerry to his wife:

“For Manasha, with love, Jerry.”

This connection is reflected in the history of his artistic journey. “In 1987, while reviewing edits for the So Far video,” notes Ted Harrington of Terrapin Stationers, “Jerry shared a whimsical sketch with Manasha. She was amazed by his visual artistry and encouraged him to sign his work. That simple suggestion inspired Jerry to begin signing his art and carrying sketchbooks on every tour from that day forward.”

At home, Jerry found a quiet sanctuary within the family art room, where he would paint and draw daily. Manasha and his daughter, Keelin, would often join him for fun drawing sessions.

“I loved painting and drawing with my father,” said Keelin Garcia. “It is touching to know his art continues to bring so much joy to others today.”

Reflecting on those moments, Manasha Garcia shared, “After a busy concert tour, our home was a sanctuary for Jerry; the studio was a place where he could just relax with his visual art, and an acoustic guitar.”

The rerelease of J.Garcia: Paintings, Drawings and Sketches honors this cherished aspect of Garcia’s legacy, offering fans and art collectors a deeper look into the mind of a visionary.

To purchase the book and explore the collection, visit the RetroActv website today.

NECKARSULM, Germany, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mitgo Ventures isn’t a bank. It isn’t a generic VC fund that discovered “affiliate marketing” last year. It’s the investment arm of the same Mitgo Group that built one of the leading global partner networks, Admitad. Through the Publisher Investment Program publishers can get direct access to the people who built a $300M+ annual revenue affiliate business.

Mitgo’s mentors have a unique expertise in performance field:

20 years in performance marketing400+ business ideas tested30+ businesses still running40+ startups built from scratch25+ venture deals closed5 acquisitions

These are the people who will be looking at publisher’s business — and they’ve seen every version of it before. Not a course, not a playbook, not a Notion doc. Real conversations with founders who’ve made the same mistakes a publisher is about to make — and figured out how to avoid them.

The Mitgo ecosystem opens up to every participant of the Pubisher Investment Program. Investors, advertisers, portfolio companies — new clients and partners start appearing swiftly. These are connections that take most publishers years to build, if ever.

Requirements are simple. A publisher needs to be working on (or open to) the CPA model, operating in the US, Europe, MENA, LatAm, or APAC, and generating at least $1,000/month consistently over the last three months. Cashback site, coupon platform, deal aggregator, content publisher — if a business earns real affiliate revenue, it’s likely exactly who Mitgo is looking for.

The publisher starts with the application — it takes one minute to fill. Then the applicant has a conversation with an investment manager, no pitch deck required. Then negotiate the terms and sign the deal.

When the deal closes, Mitgo makes noise about it. Publisher’s name reaches investors and advertisers who are actively looking for similar publishers. That kind of visibility is usually not for sale. And through all of it — Mitgo’s founders and top management are personally in the publisher’s corner.
