In case you missed it...

The 57th Annual CMA Awards are less than a month away, and returning hosts Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan are pumped to be coming back for a second time. In a new promo to promote their return - and the upcoming awards - the country superstar and the NFL legend are seen on horseback riding off into the sunset when Peyton gets a call asking them to host again. "Wait a minute. You want us to host the CMA Awards again?" he says. "I got to be honest, we’re in the middle of riding off into the sunset." “They want us to host again?" the Luke asks asks. "If I turn my back on the CMA Awards, what kind of hosting icon would I be?" "Hosting icons, plural. They called my phone,” Manning replies. To see more of that style of banter, and the rest of what goes on at the CMA Awards, tune in to ABC November 8th. Oh, and you can see Peyton and Luke do their thing in the promo here.

You know Tim McGraw as a country music star, but he’s also a collector of cars. Tim was gifted a Chip Foose custom-built 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible for his 40th birthday in 2007. Now, after 16 years, the car is up for grabs. GAA (short for Greensboro Auto Auctions) is hosting a collector-car event in Greensboro, NC. GAA will showcase and sell classic models from November 2nd-4th, 2023. 695 vehicles and memorabilia will be sold in three days. Tim's 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible will be auctioned in November. Sold on Sat, Nov 4th as Lot #ST0072.5. Enthusiasts love the third-gen Cutlass. This car was on the GM A-body platform and came out in 1968 with architecture similar to the Chevy Chevelle and Pontiac LeMans. In 1971, the hood, grille, headlights, and bumpers were restyled to today's layout. Bids can be placed in person, by phone, or online.
