At a certain point when you're watching an SUV run from the cops with two blown out tires and shooting sparks from both right wheels, it stops being about the chase. You’re just impressed by the truck itself.

Elon Musk To NYT: Let's 'Bury The Hatchet' In The Fight I Started…
The war of words between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the New York Times dominated the world of automotive news last week after one of the paper's reporters failed at his D.C. to Boston drive in a Model S and Musk responded by calling the story "fake." Now Musk says he wants to "bury the hatchet and move on." Or, in other…
São Paulo’s Interlagos is a massively better racetrack than neighboring Rio de Janeiro’s Jacarepaguá but it has its downside: you can’t take photos of Formula One cars, like Alain Prost’s McLaren MP4/4, against the blue skies and green hills of Guanabara Bay.

Earlier today we saw a car that was supposedly Will.I.Am's brand-new, totally custom ride. We have confirmed that this is Will's car, but it hasn't been "built from scratch." The car is actually a 1958 VW Beetle that has been modified beyond recognition. The build started in 2009. It still isn't really done. And that's because Will.I.Am took it to two shops, had absolutely no idea what he wanted, and no clue about what it takes to build a car.

Here in the USA, you can almost always spot an Indian product. This is very different than Chinese products, which are so numerous and varied as to be anonymous. But Indian products you find in the America, they almost all have this artisan/handmade quality. Whether it's jewelry in bins at Anthropologie or manhole covers or a pair of scissors, the hallmark of Indian exports is that they at least feel like someone made them by hand. And that goes for much of the automotive culture as well.

This Is How The Techno Fabulous McLaren P1 Makes 903 Hybrid Horsepower
You might think that the 616 horsepower the MP4-12C gets out of McLaren's 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 is pretty much the limit of what's possible for a car that spends most of its time on public roads. Then comes the P1, and even if you don't count the 176 electric horses behind your back, that same 3.8 V8 suddenly has…
We like to think that if a carmaker builds a good car, people will buy it. Jalopnik readers know that’s not always the case.
Virginia DMV Denies Iraq War Vet's "ICUHAJI" Vanity Plate -- Again

A Toyobaru Was The Getaway Car In This New Jersey Convenience Store…
Just because the New York Police Department isn't using Scion FR-Ses doesn't mean the criminals can't use them. Everyone's favorite new Japanese rear-wheel-drive sportscar was apparently used as the getaway car in the armed robbery of a New Jersey Wawa on Monday night.
William (I refuse to call him Will.I.Am) of the Black Eyed Peas has a penchant for custom cars. He customized the crap out of his Delorean
