Even if it's a dud, keeping a grenade in your vehicle can get you in a lot of trouble. But Jeryd Priddy didn't seem to consider such behavior as aberrant as he cruised through Oildale, Calif. with a short-barreled shotgun and a dud grenade in his truck. The cops did.
The Fiat 500 Abarth is one of the most hoonable cars on planet Earth. Despite being front-wheel drive, shaped like an Ostrich egg (and measuring about the same size), it oozes character, flamboyance, and drivability. It is, in fact, impossible to drive the little Abarth and not hoon – regardless of what the trip entails: You’ll hoon to the grocery store, hoon to pick up the kids; you’ll probably even hoon to a colonoscopy, such is the intoxicating nature of this mad Italian shoebox. The 500 Abarth is the “everyman’s” hoonmobile, even if you can’t drive for shit.

Much of India's population is Hindu, a religion that boasts a vast array of interesting deities. It's said there are 330 million gods in the Hindu pantheon. That gives each god about three potential drivers to look out for. And from a driving perspective, that's a very good thing, as a monotheistic culture would soon find its God hoplessly overworked just trying to keep all those people from killing themselves with their cars. India needs teams of gods working time-and-a-half just to keep the country from becoming a steamy bloodbath. I thought this was a pretty clever observation until I learned that almost every visitor to India has the same thought. Because, to an outsider, driving in India is fucking terrifying.
Now That's A Tight Indoor Donut
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.
