Space may be the final frontier, but this Tribble-sized U.S.S. Enterprise won't get there on just the impulse power of an old Dodge pickup. You're also going to need gumption and the ability to dodge cameraphone-carrying Jalopnik readers. More »

The new Star Trek flick just came out. While nobody we know will admit to seeing it, the reviews sound pretty good. That said, the most famous Trekkie soundbite will always be the anti-Montalban "KHAAAAN!" More »

It looks like someone's snagged a bootleg of the trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie off the front of the James Bond flick Quantum of Solace. While Wert may have been focused on the Ford Edge, we noticed the trailer showing a young Captain Kirk driving a C2 Corvette convertible off a cliff in an effort to evade a masked flying motorcycle lawman of some sort. The ever-defiant Kirk bails just as the Vette slides off the edge, saving himself while killing the car. The trailer goes on to show off all the well-known characters from the Trekiverse along with what appear to be a host of new baddies, the ship, and explosions. Come on, let it out — you know that closet Trekkie nerd just let out a silent whimper of excitement. We know, and it's OK, we did it too. More »

Recent reports are saying that the Aptera has been spotted on the set of the new Star Trek movie. More »

Besides spending countless hours on a blog devoted to any and everything with four wheels, of course. I just got back from supper with a fellow auto-journo and with the lone exception of ordering food, our conversation didn't deviate from cars for a second. "Is a 208 even a Ferrari? I mean, come on!" Our obsessiveness and behavior differs from Trekkies (or is that Trekkers?) only because of focus and how we dress. Though apparently I'm trying to change that last bit. Yes friends, I broke down over the weekend and bought a pair of wrestling shoes. To my attractive, non-pistonhead friends I will explain how wrasslin' kicks are dope for weightlifting and boxing. But to you nerds – brother dorks – you haven't experienced a downshift until you've done so in a pair of these. More »

Fresh on the heels of the Lexus hybrid powered by tubes of captured light itself is this Saturn Vue, obviously harnessing the power of mere photons. The cutaway clearly shows multicolored bands of light coursing through the powerplant of this super advanced Saturn hybrid. We suspect dilithium crystals are at the heart of this system, and that GM is not at all lamenting Kerkorian's recent decisions. GM is merely preparing for the Captain James T. Kirk era. Stay tuned for planets full of simpler folks being duped out of their crystals, and green models in gold bikinis at future GM car show booths. – Mike Bumbeck More »
