'I ditched the US to live in Spain and one thing still takes me by surprise'
If you ever moved to or even visited a new country, you've most likely experienced some sort of cultural shock with how people live or the societal norms of that country. This is a common occurrence that can manifest itself in a variety of different ways, including anxiety, stress, and a sense of isolation as individuals try to adjust to new customs, social norms, and daily routines. It can be triggered by various factors like language barriers, unfamiliar food, different social customs, and the absence of familiar support systems. However, this will soon fade into adjustment and possibly even adaption as you may start to adapt the new ways of life. So when American woman Shelby moved to Seville in Spain to study abroad, she was bound to experience some cultural differences. What she hadn't expected, however, was that she'd still experience some of the culture shock years after having made the move across the Atlantic ocean permanent. She decided to take to her TikTok account to make a video about the one big cultural difference she still hasn't gotten used to after having lived in Spain for several years. "One thing that will always shock me about Spain that I don't think I'll ever get used to is going topless at the beach," she said in her video, as she was seen walking along the beach. She went onto say she 'kind of forgot' about the custom at home as she hadn't been to a Spanish beach in over two years. However, she soon was reminded of it as she saw a woman walk around with her chest bare. "I was like 'oh my God'," she said, showing how she'd covered her eyes with her hand. "And then I remembered. I'm not even trying to hate or judge at all. It's just, coming from the US where that's definitely not the norm, it's still super shocking to see every time." She went onto reveal in the caption of her video: "What's funny is, in most ways, I actually find Spain more conservative than the USA… especially when it comes to clothing. If I had to sum up Spanish style in one word, it would be modest." "I don't know, maybe I'll get used to it some day, but I kind of doubt it," she admitted in the video, before asking her viewers if this is also the norm in other countries, or whether it's something they'd ever considered doing. People soon took to the comment section of the video, where people went on to share their own thoughts and opinions about the matter. "Better to go the full Monty. No tan lines. On Spanish beaches, it's not illegal. In many places. Same in France," one viewer shared. A second person shared: "I think it's quite healthy to see normal women's bodies in all shapes and forms, not filled up with plastic, think many young girls would benefit from it. I grew up with it, it never bothered me or anyone else in my surroundings." "I am from Germany and here it's not something a lot of people do, but it's also not completely unusual. In the south of Europe, it's much more common," a third viewer shared.

Want to race a duck for a cause? Shelby event is back July 26
SHELBY — Hudson's Duck Drop returns to Shelby on July 26. This third annual fundraiser will support the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. According to an announcement, the event will feature the release of over 1,000 rubber ducks from the Main Street Bridge into the Black Fork River. The ducks will race to the finish line at the Parrot Head Pub patio. Each duck can be adopted for a $10 donation, with proceeds benefiting families in need. The event honors the memory of Hudson Curren, who faced significant health challenges from a young age. Hudson was born prematurely on July 24, 2018, and later diagnosed with a mitochondrial disease known as Alpers. This condition led to many hospital stays, including a medically induced coma. During these times, the Ronald McDonald House provided crucial support to Hudson's family, allowing them to stay close to their son at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Hudson passed away shortly after his first birthday on Aug. 31, 2019. The first Hudson's Duck Drop took place in July 2023, surpassing its original goal of 200 ducks by dropping 580 ducks and raising $6,000 for the charity. In 2024, the event featured 870 ducks and raised $10,750. For 2025, organizers hope to exceed 1,000 ducks. The event will take place from 5-9 p.m. July 26 at the Parrot Head Pub, 16 Mohican St., Shelby. Attendees can enjoy live music, a food truck, games for children and a silent auction featuring items donated by local businesses. While adopting a duck is encouraged, it is not required to attend the free event. Participants who adopt ducks will have the chance to win cash and prizes if their ducks are among the first three to cross the finish line or if they are the last duck to finish. Ducks can be adopted online or in person at the Parrot Head Pub. Those who adopt do not need to be present to win. The silent auction will feature a variety of items, which can be previewed online before the event. However, all bids must be made in person on the day of the Duck Drop. Hudson's Duck Drop shirts and stickers will be available for purchase in advance at but will not be sold at the event. Sponsors of Hudson's Duck Drop 2025 include Parrot Head Pub, Derr's Painting, Neeley Dirt Works, Hockenberry Trucking & Excavating, ArcelorMittal, Spitzer Motors of Mansfield and Brian R. Gates and Michelle Gates State Farm Insurance Agency. The Parrot Head Pub is committed to maintaining the area along the river and has implemented beautification projects and flood mitigation efforts. Volunteers will ensure that all ducks are numbered and accounted for at the finish line, with a net in place to prevent any ducks from being left behind.

Penwells plan to open the Hatchery, an event and lodging destination in Shelby
SHELBY – Jake and Lauren Penwell plan to bring new life to a piece of Shelby's history. The owners of Penwell Funeral Home are creating the Hatchery, an event and lodging destination, at 170 W. Main Street, next to their existing business. The Hatchery is both a personal investment in their hometown and a tribute to its rich heritage. The project has been crafted for connection. "As a lifelong Shelby resident, we're proud to invest in the future of our community," Jake Penwell said in a news release. "We believe in the future Shelby and we're excited to help create a space where people can come together and celebrate life's moments. The future is bright." The Hatchery will feature two main components: ● An event space housed within the historic Shelby Hatchery, a community landmark that played a key role in the 1930s and operated for many years. The new event space will be able to host gatherings of up to 150 guests. ● A beautifully restored seven-bedroom home, originally built in 1897 by David Cockley, then-president of Ohio Steel Tube, now known as ArcelorMittal. The home will sleep up to 14 people and provide comfortable accommodations for event guests or weekend visitors. The Penwells say the Hatchery will offer a setting that blends heritage, hospitality and thoughtful design for weddings, corporate retreats, family celebrations or just a relaxing stay. "The Hatchery is designed with purpose: to be warm, welcoming and deeply personal," Lauren Penwell said. "We want guests to feel at home the moment they walk through the doors, whether they're hosting an event or enjoying a peaceful weekend away." The Hatchery is expected to open in early 2026, with additional details and booking information to be shared soon.

1967 Shelby GT500 Heads to Auction in Striking Candy Apple Red
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A rare and well-documented 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is set to cross the block this August, presenting collectors with a chance to own one of the most iconic American muscle cars of the era. Finished in factory-correct Candy Apple Red with white Le Mans stripes, this GT500 is one of only 53 produced in that color for the model year. Originally sold new through Tasca Ford—one of the most storied high-performance dealers in Shelby history—the car carries significant provenance and is listed in the official Shelby Registry. Under the hood lies a date-code-correct Q-code 428 cubic-inch 8V V8 engine, backed by an automatic transmission. The setup includes correct casting Holley carburetors—2804 in the front and 2805 in the rear—paired with an intake manifold marked C7ZX-8425-A. The vehicle is also equipped with the factory Extra Cooling Package, a feature intended to boost performance during aggressive driving or track use. Among the period options are power front disc brakes, power steering, a tachometer with trip odometer, and the Interior Décor Group. The black interior features the sought-after fold-down rear seat and courtesy light group. It rides on Shelby alloy wheels wrapped in Goodyear white-letter tires, completing the authentic late-1960s performance look. Supporting documents include a Deluxe Marti Report and original build sheets, adding valuable verification to its specifications. Though a previous title lists an odometer discrepancy per the NMVTIS report, the vehicle's strong documentation and desirable configuration continue to enhance its appeal. This 1967 GT500 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Shelby American's golden era—built for performance, documented for posterity, and finished in a head-turning factory color combination that will stand out in any serious collection.

This Is The Highest HP Engine Ever Put In A Ford Mustang From The Factory
When one considers the haste with which the original 1964.5 Ford Mustang was cobbled together from the boxy Ford Falcon, its status as an automotive icon is even more impressive. That's not to say that there weren't some rough patches, though, like the Pinto-based Mustang II that occupied the Malaise-era 1970s. Initially, the Mustang II wasn't available with any V8 power, period. When Ford corrected their grievous error the following year, it was in the form of an optional 302 cubic inch (5.0-liter in metric terms) V8 that made a pathetic 140 horsepower. Paraphrasing Jeremy Clarkson, how do they get so little power out of such a (relatively) large engine? At the other end of the spectrum, what's the most horsepower that the blue oval brand has ever stuffed under the hood of its pony car? Of course, it's the Nürburgring-crushing 2025 Ford Mustang GTD. Gearheads first became aware of these, 815 horsepower supercharged beast back in 2023, and it appears that lucky owners will finally begin taking delivery soon. The bad news is that due to a recently leaked window sticker, we now know that the GTD's base price is $327,960 which includes a mandatory $5,500 delivery fee and $3,700 in gas guzzler tax. Prior to the top-dog Mustang GTD, high-horsepower honors went to the 2020 through 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Like the GTD, this machine also packs a 5.2-liter supercharged Predator V8, but in the GT500, it "only" made 760 horsepower. Read more: These V6 Engines Put The LS1 V8 To Shame When discussing rambunctious 'Stangs, we'd be remiss in not mentioning that tuners like Saleen and Shelby have also created some outrageously powerful pony cars. For example, Saleen's 2024 302 Mustang Black Label makes 800 horsepower from a supercharged and heavily-modified 5.0-liter base motor. Its MSRP of $108,990 isn't exactly cheap, but it is about 1/3 the price of a new Mustang GTD. That said, you'll have to stretch your definition of "factory Mustang" considerably to include the Saleen. That's because the company acquires stock Mustangs from the Ford assembly line, which Saleen later modifies in-house for resale. If we're going to allow a Saleen product in this article, then we've also got to throw a mention to the bonkers 2013 through 2014 Ford Shelby 1000 S/C. In its top form, which includes a humungous 3.6-liter supercharger, the Shelby 1000 is said to crank out more than 1,200 horsepower. That's more than the final Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 or the C8 Corvette ZR1, not to mention that this feat was accomplished over 10 years ago. Reportedly, the most powerful Shelby 1000 was track-only and not intended to be street driven. Still, we'd bet you could get away with it in a state without strict emissions or safety inspections.
