The trendsetters online might have moved on from playing Gartic Phone, but my family has not. Developed by Onrizon, Gartic Phone combines the childrens game Telephone with the board game Pictionary. It might sound a bit simple, but this lighthearted game is a genuine delight. More importantly, its the perfect game to share with family and friends throughout the holiday season.What makes it perfect for the family? Well, lots of things. For starters, its free and you can play it on any device with a browser. Ive had family members easily join in and play on phones, computers, and tablets. So even if you have a younger kid without a phone, you can likely find another device that allows them to join. No fancy consoles are needed and up to 16 people can join a single game.The one drawback is that the game does have some ads, but once you watch them the game can get started. Gartic Phone is super easy to learn and navigate. Although drawing might be intimidating to a person who doesnt play video games often, even that can be fun. In my personal experience, the crudest of drawings have a way of leading to some of the funniest rounds.Its also very simple to pick up and play. In the games main mode, you start by typing in a prompt. After that, another player will draw a picture of that prompt. From there, someone will receive your drawing, and then type in what they think the prompt was. The cycle of drawing and guessing continues, letting ridiculous misunderstandings and hilarious accidents get funnier with each new guess. It frequently results in hilarious chains of prompts and drawings as people make sense of the scuffed pictures.At the end of it all, you and the players get to watch the series of drawings and prompts in an endgame recap. I just love to giggle at all the drawings as my family and I scribble on our phone screens scattered around the living room. At the end, we download the funniest drawings as photos, so it even feels like we can get a little keepsake of the night.Easy to learn, adorable, and fun, Gartic Phone is the perfect family activity for this holiday season.

Want more housing market stories from Lance LambertsResiClubin your inbox?Subscribeto theResiClubnewsletter.Michael Zuber began building his rental property portfolio in Fresno, starting with his first properties in 2001. He sold off much of his real estate portfolio right before the 2008 housing bust and then reentered the market after home prices crashed.By 2018, Zuber had grown his portfolio to more than 170 rental properties and made the decision to leave his tech job in Silicon Valley to focus on his passion for helping others achieve similar success. His YouTube channel, One Rental at a Time, has since amassed more than 60,000 followers, most of whom are single-family landlords themselves.Zuber studies the financial and housing market every day and has become a leading voice in the mom-and-pop landlord spacewhich represents the largest share of rental-property owners in the U.S.ResiClubs Meghan Malas recently interviewed Zuber about his insights and approach.Interest rates have gone up a lot since early 2021, so a lot of institutional capital that was moving into the space has pulled back. However, we are still seeing, on a percentage basis, a good number of single-family landlord purchases from mom-and-pop single-family landlords. How are single-family investors still finding deals that pencil in this type of market?Mom-and-pop landlords have an advantage over Wall Street money because theyre far more nimble. They only need to find one property versus dozens, making it easier in todays environment to find the needle in the haystack. Institutional investors these days focus on newer homes, often less than a decade old, with three or four bedrooms.Mom-and-pop landlords can target properties that dont fit the institutional buy box, finding ugly ducklings or missed listings. And while institutions rely on technology to query the market for deals, mom-and-pop landlords network and evaluate deals locally.Back in June, a ResiClub-Groundfloor Housing Investor Survey found that 80% of real estate investor-landlords are concerned about home insurance shocks. What should single-family investors be mindful of on the insurance front?Insurance has become a front-and-center issue for landlords. For over 25 years, I could estimate my insurance costs within $20 or $30. But in the last two years, we started facing nonrenewals and cancellations. In California, there was a period when insurance companies were leaving the market altogether.For years, I had a fourplex where insurance was consistently around $1,900. When my provider refused to renew, the next carrier charged almost $3,200 for the same coverage.Thankfully, in the last six months, the rate shocks, cancellations, and nonrenewals seem to be easing. And if youve been in the game long enough, youve likely benefited from significant rent increases between 2020 and 2023. While insurance costs might have jumped 50%, those rent increases have often outpaced them.As long as youre managing your units effectively, the higher insurance costswhile they hurt cash floware manageable.Youve said before that todays housing market resembles that of the early 1980sa time of significantly strained housing affordability in the U.S.can you explain why?Between 1978 and 1982, we saw a dramatic increase in rates, which sharply reduced transactions. I made this call in 2022 right after the Jackson Hole meeting, where Jerome Powell essentially said, Pain is coming.In my 54-year spreadsheet, you can see the pattern: From 1978 to 1981, existing home sales transactions went down 50%, but the median home price went up.In 2022, when I predicted a crash in housing transactions alongside rising [national home] prices, many dismissed it as foolish. Unfortunately, thats exactly what occurred.Even before existing home salesand new listingsplummeted in 2022, you said that the Fed broke the housing market. What did you mean by that, and is that still true heading into 2025?Traditionally, the housing market follows a normal cycle. First-time homebuyers purchase a home, stay for six to eight years, and then move up. This cycle operated consistently for 40 years.But consider someone who bought an entry-level home in 2020 or 2021. Today, its likely they could not afford their current home due to its price increase of 25% to 50%, let alone trade up for a better home. The math no longer works. The home they want to buy is $100,000 more expensive, and mortgage rates have jumped from 3% to 7%. As a result, the move-up buyer has effectively disappeared from the market.The lack of move-up buyers breaks the housing market because their activity represents two transactionsa sale and a purchase. Without them, entry-level housing stays frozen. The homes selling are higher-end or luxury properties, which skews the market. Median home prices appear higher because lower-priced homes arent [selling].Comparing how many entry-level homes sold in 2019 or 2020 to sales in 2024 or 2025 shows a significant droparound 30% fewer. This is what defines a broken housing market.What is your outlook for the housing market in 2025?My call for 2025 is essentially higher for longer. Rates might be lower at the end of the year than at the beginning, but on average, 7% seems likely.Almost no one with a 3% mortgage on an entry-level home will trade up to a 7% rateit simply doesnt make financial sense. As a result, 2025 will likely be another slow year with low transaction volume. I expect national home prices to stay flat, rising by 1% or 2% in 2025.I predict more new home sales in 2025, but square footage will shrink. Builders are likely to focus on smaller, entry-level homes.I also believe the incoming administration will work to make housing construction faster and cheaper, possibly offering incentives for building entry-level housing. I do not foresee any free money first-time homebuyer programs. The last thing the market needs is more demand; we need supply. If such a program materializes, my call for 2025 would be wrong, as it would disrupt the current dynamics.Many people see real estate as a way to build wealth for retirement, but they dont want to manage properties forever. As someone who once owned over 170 rentals, when did you decide to downsize, and how did you plan your exit?You dont have to self-manage. From the beginning, [my wife and I] chose to invest in a market two and a half hours away while working demanding full-time jobs. Property management was a necessity for us, so we found deals that could support paying a 10% management fee.While we no longer pay 10% today, having property managers from Day One has helped reduce the operational stress of direct management. That said, managing the manager is still essential. Weve had to fire property managers, deal with theft, and oversee operations to ensure everything ran smoothly.However, weve never spoken directly to tenants, collected rent, or called for repairs. Weve always paid someone else to handle those tasks.As you approach retirement, other considerations come into play. For example, should you sell older properties and use a 1031 exchange to acquire newer ones? Newer properties typically require less management, which can significantly reduce headaches. A 1031 exchange also allows you to consolidate multiple properties into a single, higher-quality asset.

Coffee badging. The Great Stay. Revenge quitting.This year has seen no shortage of terms to describe the new ways we work.As 2024 comes to a close, Fast Companys Work Life team has been thinking about the major trends weve seen this yearbut also what the new year will bring. Here are some of the biggest stories well be monitoring in 2025.1. The fight over RTOWhy are we still talking about a return to office? Weve been chronicling the push to get workers back into physical offices for over three years now, but the rift between what most employees want (flexibility and a hybrid schedule) and what some leaders want (in-office collaboration and a return to pre-pandemic workplace norms) remains. As much as everyone wants to move on from this debate, were likely to see more companies adjust their policies in 2025, especially following major employerslike Amazon deciding to bring workers back to the office five days a week.Even with additional in-office pressure, many companies will still commit to some version of hybrid work. Hybrid work is the new normal, Sam Naficy, CEO of the employee visibility and productivity intelligence software provider Prodoscore, tells writer Stephanie Vozza. Despite the push for in-office mandates, hybrid work is here to stay, driven by the need for flexibility. Few companies will fully revert to all-office models without risking talent loss.Of course, in some cases, RTO office mandates may actually be designed to get workers to quit. Last month, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are set to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal expressing the hope that requiring federal workers to come in to an office full-time would lead to resignations. Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees dont want to show up, American taxpayers shouldnt pay them for the COVID-era privilege of staying home, they wrote.2. AI affecting jobsand hiringWeve spent much of this year chronicling employee concerns about the ways in which AI will affect careers. That impact is already being felt. A November study showed a 21% reduction in job posts for automation-prone jobs related to writing and coding compared to jobs requiring manual-intensive skills since ChatGPT was introduced.Many experts, however, are bullish on the positive impacts of AI to reduce boring tasksand even to create new jobs altogether. It is normal to worry about the loss of jobs that comes with a new technology, writes futurist Frank Diana. But there has always been fear around new technologies, and almost without fail, the new technology has led to more jobs than the previous technology ever allowed.One of the areas where were already AI changing things is in hiring. While many companies have long used AI to screen candidates through applicant-tracking systems, more are likely to embrace AI in the process in 2025.According to one recent study from Resume Builder, nearly 70% plan to use AI for some part of the hiring process by the end of 2025. Its not just the initial vetting process that is transforming: 23% of companies surveyed already rely on AI to conduct interviews and another 19% said they plan to start using AI for interviews within the next year.Adam Charlson, managing partner of Focus Search Partners, cautions against allowing AI to take over the process. AI can quickly sift through a vast pool of rsums and pinpoint those that best match the keywords in a job posting, writes Charlson. But can AI alone truly determine the best fit for a position? The short answer is no. While AI can do a lot, it doesnt replace a human when it comes to hiring.3. The backlash to DEIThis year saw many companiesincluding Walmart, Lowes, Ford, John Deere, Harley Davidson, Jack Daniels, and Toyotascale back DEI programs in response to conservative activism. Anti-DEI sentiment appears to be reaching some employees, too. In a November 2024 Pew study, 23% of workers described focusing on DEI as a bad thing compared with 16% in 2023.But DEI is not over, writes Out & Equals Erin Uritus and Witeck Communications, Inc.s Bob Witeck. The truth is that we are not witnessing a sea change in the marketplace or an erosion in public attitudes, write Uritus and Witeck. Most businesses understand that DEI is good for workers and good for business.With the arrival of a new Trump administration, there will likely be additional pressures on DEI programs. Well be watching carefully in the new year to explore how businesses committed to greater equity in the workplace rebrand or shift their efforts.

When high school students and their families investigate which college is the best fit, they will inevitably be inundated with various facts and figures. Brochures and websites might highlight the schools dining halls or student-led clubs and activities. But one of the most important statistics for students and families to consider when choosing a college is the career outcomes of its graduates.This is, perhaps, the greatest selling point for any institution of higher education. Students consistently say that finding a good-paying job is among the top reasons why they go to college.As scholars of career education, we believe its important for students and families to know there may be more under the surface to those career outcome statistics.Why career placement mattersWhat does career success even mean, and why should students or their parents care? How do colleges measure it? And most importantly, how are those statistics verified?These are all questions that should be on the minds of prospective students and their families. Its worth asking these questions during college visits.Put simply, career success or career outcomes refer to a graduates employment or academic enrollment status within a period of time after graduating college. By industry standards, a graduate may achieve career success if they are employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation. So when we at Champlain College tout a 90% career success rate for our class of 2023, what we mean is that 90% of the class was either employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation.Sounds good, right? But compared with what?The National Association of Colleges and Employers releases annual reports with national career success outcomes. Their latest report, released in October 2024, showed that the national average for career success rates in the class of 2023 was nearly 85%. So, yes, it is good.Critical to this career success rate, however, is another numberone thats less discussed but also very telling. Thats the knowledge rate, or the percentage of graduates who shared their outcomes with their college after graduating and that the college can reasonably verify. Think of it this way: If a college boasts 100% career success for a graduating class, but their knowledge rate is only 50%, then that 100% career success becomes a lot less impressive, as it represents only half the class.All of these numbers are part of the First-Destination Survey, designed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers and distributed by more than 300 universities and colleges across the country, including Champlain College.According to the organizations most recent annual report, which reflects data collected from the class of 2023, the national knowledge rate for bachelors degree students was only 56%. That means that the national career success average of 85% reported by the class of 2023 represents just over half of all graduates.That means that when it comes to the career success outcomes touted by any given college or universityeven those that make annual best of rankingsits safe to assume that the numbers reflect only 56% of the institutions students. Say a college reports a 90% career success rate of its 1,000 graduates, then we would expect 900 of those students to be employed or pursuing a further degree. But if the knowledge rate for that institution is 50%, then the college is claiming a very high level of overall success while having data for only half of its graduating class.Data is publicMost colleges and universities release career success and knowledge rates to the public in annual reports. If youre a prospective student considering a college, you can and should really delve into these statistics.For example, if you look at some of the colleges on The Wall Street Journals best value list, you can see some low knowledge rates. Baruch College earned the top spot for best value, and the schools success rate for the class of 2022 was 96%. However, its knowledge rate was only 49%.Similarly, Bowdoin College reported for its class of 2022 a 92% career success rate, with a response rate of 35%.That is not to say these schools are doing anything wrong. The point is that prospective students can educate themselves more on career success rates and corresponding knowledge rates.Of course, knowledge rates also vary widely. Babson College, which ranked second on WSJs best colleges of 2025, reported an impressive career success rate of nearly 99%, with a knowledge rate of 83%. Davidson College reported a 91% career success rate for 2023, with a knowledge rate of 82%.At Champlain College, where we serve as career coaches, our class of 2023 reported a career success rate of 90%, with a 81% knowledge rate.Questions to askWhen prospective students are on college tours or interacting with admissions counselors, they should come prepared with probing questions regarding career success. Here are some questions that we think prospective students should ask college admissions counselors about the institutions career success:1. What is the process for tracking career success? You should learn the full process how the school collects data and reports out on the statistics, and what trends, if any, the institution has noticed in its graduates career success over the years.2. What is the schools knowledge rate? If its low, it may be a reflection on either the institutions career services or the quality of the overall student experience at that institution. If so, ask whether faculty are involved in the process to get a better idea of where the weakness lies.3. When does the data collection process start and how long does it take? It should be an ongoing process, allowing for students to share career success both prior to and following graduation.4. What kinds of additional questions did the school ask in its First-Destination Survey? Beyond relevant career information, is the institution asking about students internship experience? Did they study abroad? What other types of experiential learning or leadership opportunities did they undertake? What kind of advice do they have for prospective students? And, importantly, how do you verify student career success?Equipped with these questionsand the understanding that career success rates are critical in the college selection processstudents can feel more confident than they would otherwise that they have a good understanding of how well the institution prepares them for success after graduation.Many schools publish their career outcomes directly on their website, but you can always speak with an admissions counselor to learn more.Kerry Shackett is a co-director of the Career Collaborative and a career coach at Champlain College.

Both LEGO-fans and gearheads have one thing in common theyre incredibly passionate. They obsess over tiny details, are always up for a challenge, and champion their cause with a puffed chest. In short, theyre diehards, so when LEGO launches a car model on its brick-based platform, you best bet it drives both communities wild! However, if writing about LEGO for almost a decade now has taught me anything, theyre incredibly selective. The company doesnt take is catalog casually especially when it comes to collaborations.A lot of planning, execution, marketing, and licensing goes behind each and every single collaboration, whether its LEGOs Harry Potter collection, Star Wars collection, Marvel/DC collection, or any of their LEGO Technic sets in partnership with car brands. Sadly, this means a LOT of truly iconic cars still havent received their very own LEGO set yet either because research doesnt show itll sell well, or because theres a legal hiccup preventing LEGO from building a kit of our favorite cars. We gathered a list of 10 absolutely iconic cars that STILL dont have their own LEGO sets and entrusted AI to help visualize what these sets could possibly look like after all, a boy can dream, cant he?!01. Bugatti VeyronThe Bugatti Veyron gets the top spot on this list purely for the fact that it was the first time I saw a car and went wow. I was a kid back when the Veyron dropped, and I remember how it sparked a love for automobiles in me. This LEGO set would work I just know it, but for some reason, the Bugatti Veyron (the car that held the production speed record for 5 years) doesnt have a LEGO set yet. The Bugatti Chiron and Bolide, however, have their own LEGO sets.What I love about this design is that its the first in a line of new-age Bugattis with its iconic visual language. The inverted horseshoe grill, the C-shaped rear pillar, the blue and black color combination, all just clicked together with the Veyron, making the modern-day icon it is today. The LEGO set would capture this beauty in its own inimitable style.02. Lamborghini MiuraWe lost a true design legend this year Marcello Gandini. Lauded as the father of the golden age of automotive design, Gandini (along with his studio Bertone) helped bring us an entire fleet of iconic cars from brands like Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Ferrari, Lancia Stratos, and Lamborghini. While the Lamborghini Countach (a Gandini original) has its own LEGO set, the gorgeous Miura doesnt.When the Miura released in 1966, it was the fasted production car, boasting a top speed of 276 km/h (171 mph). However, when the Miura wasnt a motion blur in your periphery, it was a work of art. The gorgeous headlights integrated eyelashes into their outline, giving the car a demure and mindful character that was instantly shattered when the car took to the roads like a beast.03. Ferrari EnzoYoud think that by now, a car as groundbreaking and highly revered as the Enzo (named after the founder of Ferrari) would have its own LEGO setafter all, weve seen classic Ferraris like the F40 and recent models like the Daytona SP3 get their chance to shine in bricks. But the Enzo, a car that set new benchmarks for hypercar design and performance, still waits in the wings.When the Enzo launched in 2002, it pulled from the very essence of Ferraris motor racing experience, pushing the boundaries of what a road-legal car could achieve. Its V12 engine, carbon fiber body, and aerodynamic prowess showcased Maranellos dedication to technological excellence. Meanwhile, the cars signature scissor-like doors, elongated snout, and minimal interior exuded an unmistakable sense of speed and purpose. A LEGO Enzo would capture all these elementsthe featherweight components, the purposeful stance, and the soul of a racing thoroughbredtransformed into a timeless tribute any enthusiast could display and admire.04. Lancia Stratos HF ZeroThe Lancia Stratos HF Zero is one of those visionary concept cars that shattered the norm of a car having a boring silhouette. Its impossibly low, wedge-shaped form felt like a daring departure from anything the world had seen, the kind of car that made one pause and question what a car could be. Its baffling that LEGO hasnt turned this iconic vision into a collectible brick setespecially considering how this single concept car reshaped our understanding of automotive design and laid the groundwork for the production Stratos that followed.Unveiled in 1970, the Stratos HF Zero came from the brilliant mind of Marcello Gandini at Bertoneyes, the same genius who penned the Miura and countless other classics. With its radical silhouette, hidden headlights, and a cockpit that resembled a fighter jets canopy, the HF Zero didnt just push boundaries; it blew them apart. Reimagining this concept as a LEGO set would mean capturing the drama of Gandinis wedge era, the audacity of the cars geometric profile, and the innovative spirit that defines one of the most influential show cars in automotive history.05. Rolls-Royce PhantomThe Rolls-Royce Phantom has long stood as a benchmark for automotive luxury and refinement, setting standards that rival brands continuously strive to meet. Despite its status as the epitome of comfort and exclusivity, it has yet to appear as an official LEGO set. Considering LEGOs ventures into luxury and classic car recreationslike the Ferrari F40 or Aston Martin DB5its surprising that the Phantom, with its nearly century-long heritage, has remained conspicuously absent.A Phantom-inspired LEGO set would bring together the subtle grace of its sweeping fenders, the timeless appeal of its sculpted bonnet, and the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy figurehead, all perfectly balanced against a plush, opulent interior. Such a model would pay homage to the craftsmanship and engineering prowess that go into creating a Rolls-Royce, capturing every meticulously considered detail in plastic form and presenting it as a fitting tribute to one of the worlds most prestigious automobiles.06. Bentley Continental GTThe Bentley Continental GT is the car that redefined the grand tourer segment for the modern age, pairing effortless performance with uncompromising luxury. Its muscular proportions, signature matrix grille, and sweeping roofline all signal a presence thats as powerful as it is refined. Despite its enduring popularity and status as a symbol of British motoring excellence, the Continental GT still hasnt received the LEGO treatment it so rightfully deserves.A Continental GT LEGO set would bring to life the meticulous detailing that goes into each Bentleyevery subtle crease in its bodywork, that distinctive oval headlight design, and an interior that harmonizes wood, leather, and polished metal accents with engineering finesse. It would offer builders the chance to recreate a car that captures the essence of a European grand tourer, celebrating Bentleys legacy of craftsmanship and performance in a form thats accessible, tactile, and timeless.07. Lamborghini GallardoThe Lamborghini Gallardo signaled a new era for the renowned Italian marque, bringing Lamborghinis exotic styling and high-revving V10 powertrain to a broader audience than ever before. It became one of the brands most successful models, synonymous with that unmistakable wedge profile, signature scissor doors, and a driving experience that balanced thrilling performance with everyday usability. Yet, despite its role in revitalizing the brand and becoming a fixture on bedroom posters worldwide, the Gallardo has never received its own official LEGO set. The Countach, Huracn, and Sin have, making one wonder why other models from the raging bull havent gotten their own LEGO set.A LEGO Gallardo would pay homage to the cars razor-sharp lines, its bold aerodynamic intakes, and that roaring naturally aspirated V10. A meticulously crafted brick model could capture the spirit of this modern classic, blending the art of supercar design with LEGOs attention to detail. From the sleek body contours to the engine bays hidden mechanical wonders, a Gallardo LEGO set would serve as a fitting tribute to a Lamborghini that truly set the stage for the companys 21st-century renaissance.08. Tesla Model 3Lets step away from reputed legacy brands and their iconic cars and take a look at a few modern icons too, a la the electric powertrain. The Tesla Model 3 changed the worlds perception of electric vehicles, transforming them from niche curiosities into mainstream essentials. Its minimalistic interior, dominated by a central touchscreen interface, coupled with sleek aerodynamic lines, reflects a future-forward approach to design. The Model 3s popularity and global influence are undeniable, yet it still hasnt been reinterpreted in the iconic form of LEGO bricksdespite LEGO having tackled a range of electric concepts and futuristic designs in the past.A LEGO Model 3 would celebrate the refinement and subtlety that Tesla brought to everyday driving, capturing the cars clean silhouette, flush door handles, and that telltale panoramic glass roof. Recreating the seamless front fascia and understated wheel designs would pay homage to how the Model 3 reshaped the automotive landscape, showing that a car can be both approachable and groundbreaking. It would be a fitting tribute to a vehicle that ushered in a new era of accessible, well-engineered EVs.09. Rivian R1You cant talk about EVs without talking about Teslas long-standing rival, Rivian. The Rivian R1 seriescomprising both the R1T pickup and R1S SUVrepresents a bold new chapter in rugged automotive adventure, blending electric propulsion with robust versatility. These vehicles challenge traditional truck and SUV design norms, boasting exceptional off-road capabilities, high-tech touches, and a clean, modern aesthetic. Yet, despite Rivians rapid ascent and the industrys growing enthusiasm for electric adventure vehicles, these innovative models still havent been adapted into LEGO form. In fact, both pickup trucks and EVs are a vastly underrepresented category in LEGOs arsenal.A LEGO Rivian R1 build would capture the spirit of sustainable exploration, highlighting the vehicles signature front lightbar, practical gear storage solutions, and refined interior materials. Meticulously recreating the R1s unmistakable silhouette with colorful bricks would celebrate the harmony of advanced engineering and purposeful design that characterizes Rivians vision. Such a set would not only pay homage to a forward-thinking automotive brand but also inspire builders to envision a future where electric powertrains and outdoor escapades go hand in hand.10. Polestar 2The Polestar 2 might not boast the dramatic angles of a supercar, but give it more than a passing glance and youll realize its quietly rewriting what a modern vehicle can be. Theres something almost philosophical in how this Swedish EV embraces simplicity: from its crisp lines that reject the idea of a front grille, to the cabins atmosphere that feels more akin to a chic Nordic apartment than a traditional automobile interior. When I first encountered the Polestar 2, I was struck by its sense of calmlike meeting someone who doesnt need to raise their voice to be heard.A LEGO rendition of this car wouldnt just be about capturing taillight signatures or wheel designs; it would reflect the Polestar 2s underlying ethos. Instead of dramatic engine roar or over-the-top bodywork, youd be building a model that represents quiet confidence, responsible engineering, and a dedication to doing more with less. The challenge wouldnt lie in constructing flashy spoilers or carbon-fiber imitations, but in conveying the subtlety and thoughtfulness that makes the Polestar 2 a new kind of icon in automotive design.The post 10 Iconic Cars That Still Dont Have Their Own LEGO Set first appeared on Yanko Design.
