Most people tend to do donuts out in the open, where there's plenty of space and nothing to hit. Crazy people do donuts indoors.
BMW’s five-year-old Gina never gets old. The most delightfully, sensuously alive car I’ve ever seen, with a snarling, crackling, totally real 4.4-liter V8 beneath a hood that opens like a human chest during thoracic surgery. It’s a wearable vehicle, a modern-day baidarka, and it’s the only concept car I’d actually…

'A Good Day To Die Hard' Destroyed 132 Vehicles Worth $11 Million
By all accounts, A Good Day To Die Hard is a terrible movie. But the stunts, well, there were a lot of them and they cost a fortune. Director John Moore decided that when it came to smashing expensive vehicles, it was time to go big or go home.
The #Kony2012 hastag was huge last year thanks to a viral campaign to bring notorious African warlord and child army leader Joseph Kony to justice. But if you search that on Twitter now, you just get a bunch of joke tweets. And a promoted post from the Lincoln Motor Company. Wait, what?
Here's How People Drive When They're Really, Really Stoned
Now that marijuana is legal for recreational use in Colorado and Washington State, authorities need some way of deciding when a person is too stoned to drive. Law enforcement has set legal limits, but are they too low? Washington TV station KIRO got a bunch of people high and set them loose on a police road course,…
In my first month with the Model S, my wife Jennie and our two kids have done what most car-owning NYC residents typically do: taken trips to New Jersey and Connecticut, parked in two feet of snow and slush and in various garages, driven it up and down between midtown, Chelsea Piers, and downtown on the streets and the west side highway, and, of course, got a ticket with the model box saying the predictable "Other".

For $3,950, Yo Quiero Roadmaster?
The term Rat, when applied to a car, implies a certain level of, how shall we say, rattiness that itself implies a focus on function over form.

It was a great day for wealthy microcar afficionados who have longed for a Biscuter to liven up their walk-in humidor, but a sad day for those of us who would just love to see a crapload of microcars all in one place.

This Is Automotive Storytelling At Its Best
I've been wondering about how I should feature Josh Clason's work on Jalopnik. I first came across his Depth of Speed series when it started in 2011, and after he produced two fantastic seasons under that umbrella, his returned with something even better: the Petrolicius videos.
