Luck is a funny thing. Most people don’t remark on it unless something disproportionately good or bad happens to them, and boy howdy did I get lucky last week. Like, I should either go out and buy a fistful of lottery tickets in case I’m on fire or approach every situation for the next two weeks with extreme caution…

As usual, the biggest take-away from the Oscars this year was America's continued love affair with mustard. We've got the Yellow Fever bad, and the Grey Poupon commercial that aired during the Oscars just confirmed that with its huge popularity.  That Grey Poupon commercial was, of course, based on a 1988 original,…

Man, I feel for this kid. Somewhere in China, it was the first day of school, and our hapless unnamed student is happily riding his bike, his mind presumably full of hope for the coming year, and likely not at all worried about people all over the world reading about the bicycle up his ass. That was his first mistake.

Now that the P1 is out there, there's no question everybody will take a second look at its predecessor before deciding which one is better. 

Generally speaking, children and bars are a bad combination. And even though small children tend to love breasts, their appreciation of them is quite different from the average strip club patron's, so nudie bars are out, too. But that didn't stop 24-year-old SoCal resident Santos Barillas from bringing his 2-year-old…

The velocity stacks on Steve McQueen’s chestnut brown 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso. This is what you got when you had money to blow on cars fifty years ago: lots and lots of little exposed screws. You like, yes?

This is Stuart Lewis-Evans and Tony Harris in September 1953, lowering their Cooper 500 Formula 3 racing car from the roof of a Land Rover at the Crystal Palace race circuit. Awesome doesn't even describe it.

This is Kalle Rovanperä. His dad lets him get behind the wheel of rally cars and fling himself through the forest at speeds you wouldn’t dare. Child endangerment? More like awesome parenting.

We've seen cars used to play soccer, rugby, and hockey. It looks like fun. Now they're playing paintball. This is outstanding.

Why am I pointing the wrong way on a freeway, in the middle of Snowstorm Nemo, in a car with no heat, no defroster, no snow tires, and no four-wheel drive? Why am I laughing? Because sometimes the worst drives are the best.

Automakers save up their best technology for their most expensive luxury models. This is horse crap. Us regular car buyers should not be deprived of the best car companies have to offer.

There are right ways to do things and wrong ways to do things. Here is the very wrong way to pull a boat out of the water.

Add a cockpit to a Mercedes–Benz Silver Arrow and it turns into a speed record mecha with wheels. In October 1934, Rudolf Caracciola used this W25 to break the world record for the one-mile standing start. The same day, on a one-kilometer run, he became the fastest man on a public road, at 197 mph. That road, 30 miles …

This is The Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parse it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.

Let’s start off with three little words: mid engine pickup. If that piques your curiosity then perhaps seeing today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe custom Blue Previa will totally blow your mind. That is of course if its price doesn't just blow it.
