Michael Jordan's Ferrari 550 Maranello Is for Sale on Pharrell’s Auction Site. Will It Set a Record?
- During the historic fifth and sixth championship runs for the Chicago Bulls, star player Michael Jordan showed up driving one of Ferrari's best GT cars.
- Out of sight for decades, the bright-red 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello has now turned up for auction, complete with its “MJ 5” vanity plate.
- This car also inspired the 14th edition of the Air Jordan basketball shoe, with Ferrari-like Jumpman shields and a tire-tread pattern.
Any sharp-eyed fan watching the ESPN documentary, The Last Dance, would have clocked that shooting guard Michael Jordan had some pretty great taste in cars. MJ loved a Corvette and a Range Rover, but he was also a fan of a tastefully optioned Porsche 911. Can you pull off a 993-chassis air-cooled 911 Turbo S with the vanity plate AIR? You can when you're Michael.

Boston Dynamics spent months preparing two Atlas robots for a 90-second parkour routine. Their most challenging obstacle proved to be a vault over a waist-high beam; they succeeded at only half of the filmed attempts. During one attempt, a hydraulic hose burst from Atlas’ knee while it walked down three stairs, spraying pink fluid across the floor as the robot collapsed.

Deck & Conn is a cat-and-mouse MicroProse homage to a 55-year-old Star Trek game that might not be chunky enough for today's simulation sickos
I'd still play that PICO-8 prototype, Elissa!
Space! The final frontier. These are the voyages of the USS Rock Paper Enterprise. Or they will be, once I've worked through my launch checklist. OK, says here I start by activating the APU. There's no "APU" on the bridge display, but I'm guessing they mean "auxiliary power unit". Done! Now I have to wait a few turns, then switch on the actual reactor, and spend another couple of turns waiting for it to fill the battery. Now I just activate my helm and sensors, and boom, we're away. Where was I? Ah yes... its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds! To seek out new life and new civilizations! To boldly go where some very old Star Trek games have gone before!
D&D: Long Rest Tavern Offers a Playable Perspective We Don’t Normally See in Dungeons and Dragons | IGN Preview
Key Preview Takeaways:
- The early game is a bit too hands-off since you have to hire employees to do most of what needs doing.
- I really, really wished I could’ve built out on floors above and below rather than just across.
- Once it picks up steam, Long Rest Tavern’s gameplay loop gets really enjoyable.
I'll be honest: if any of the D&D parties I've been involved in walked into my place of business, I'd call the militia immediately. That just isn't going to end well. But in the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Long Rest Tavern, I was able to serve drinks and offer a warm bed to some of the Forgotten Realms' more well-behaved adventuring bands. It ended up feeling like a pretty natural fit between world and mechanics. As a management game, it's a little bit on the basic side, but there is added depth to discover as your intrepid customers strike out to win fame and fortune, and maybe cut you in a little bit on the side.
