The sun is out! The birds are singing! Your vinyl interior is burning itself into your thighs! Yes, summer is practically here and it's time to go on some road trips. What car do you take, though?

There is nothing like the 24 hours of the Nürburgring. Some say Le Mans is the world's top endurance race, but for me it's the madness in the Eifel mountains known as the "Green Hell." I love this race because it's only for production cars and companies are free to develop whatever is needed to win.

We land in Amsterdam and Ford meets us with a brand new Fiesta ST as we start our trip to the Nürburgring 24 and Monaco, but it's at a random bar we get a message about the wildest racing we might see: The Dïrtburgring. Imagine 24 Hours of LeMons meets Sprint Cars meets Destruction Derby. Europe, you so crazy.

The 24hrs of Nurburgring and the Monaco Grand Prix are back to back this year! Naturally I had to see both races and connect them with an awesome road trip through Europe. I know… so ridiculously awesome!

This is Hyperlapse, a new open-source tool that lets you cruise your dream roads, using nothing more than Google Streetview. It's surprisingly easy and totally amazing.

Three weeks ago, I brought my new puppy home. Wiley was eight weeks old and seriously did not like riding in the car. I held him in my lap, but he screamed like a wild monkey the entire way. This weekend, I took him on a four-day camping trip to Big Sur. He loved every minute of it. Here’s how.

Spring is here and road trip season is about to begin. How do you get ready?

A year after driving a Scion FR-S across Europe from Barcelona to Budapest, the Hungarian Wolverine crack team is heading to the US to drive from San Francisco to Miami and film it. They don’t know America’s roads so how about we show them?

Spring is nearly here and we're anxious to trade the dark hipster monastery that is the Gawker office for the beautiful open highways of America. And what better escape vehicle than an SRT Viper GTS? We're going on a road trip, y'all, and we're bringing some friends. Come hang out with us on our SRTxSW adventure.
