Holy crap, is that an excavator excavating a 12 story building out from underneath itself in China?! Yes, but it's probably not quite the terrible, ridiculously unsafe idea that it seems to be. Here's why. More »

Wintertime seasonal affective disorder (aka SAD) can be a dangerous thing for some people. Symptoms include depression, anxiety, and the near-suicidal urge to ride an inner tube on icy public roads while being pulled behind someone who's driving way too fast. More »

A man driving along Interstate 78 in eastern Pennsylvania early last week lost control of his 2005 Toyota Corolla, hit the concrete barrier in the median, bumped another car and a semi before finally stopping. Then he stripped off his clothes and stood on a record player. More »

A tattoo is a deeply personal act of bodily adornment; asking why a person chooses something is not always a reasonable question. Still, and despite our rabid love for "Captain Slow," we cannot understand why someone would want a portrait of Top Gear's James May on his thigh for the rest of his life. More »

A police chase in Florida's Panhandle region has resulted in one of the more surreal eyewitness report interpretive dances recently caught on tape, complete with deadpan intro, male-model-grade stubble, and an honest-to-God coonskin cap. More »

A Grandma gifted a Mattel Matchbox toy truck to her 3-year-old grandson because like most 3-year-old boys, he loved playing with trucks. Unbeknownst to both of them though, the phone number painted on the truck directed to a sex line. More »

Originally intended for the German military, Mercedes' G-Klasse has become the ultimate off-posuer for those of means. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe '85 may - strangely enough- be Mustang-powered, but is its price too much to pony up? More »

One year ago, Darin Cosgrove of Metrompg.com entered his Geo Metro in the Green Grand Prix fuel-economy competition. Over the course of the event, he coaxed his 12-year-old car to almost 100 mpg! Here's how he did it. —Ed. More »

Zing Shen, 42, a citizen of the People's Republic of China, lost his arms in an industrial accident. But that didn't stop him from driving. It was the police who did that. Authorities arrested the man, who is missing both arms below the elbows, when they spotted him driving his automatic transmission equipped car with his feet. If Zing lived in a less authoritarian country, we'd encourage him to demand the police show him where the law against that is, but considering he'd probably get his feet chopped off for insolence, he's probably better off welcoming his fate with open arms. Err, legs. [AttuWorld] More »

If we've learned anything from Google Street View, it's that something is always going on in this crazy country of ours. Whether it's flashers, crashes or shootings, the roving cameras tell us that not everything interesting happens indoors. This is especially true for the automotive enthusiast that lacks a garage, like this fellow here. More »

When Enzo Ferrari turned down Bill Harrah's request for a 4x4 Ferrari, Harrah did what any wealthy car collector would, thumbed his nose at Maranello and built his own. Taking a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer and mating it with a Ferrari 365 GT, the Jerrari was born. While its original 4.4L V12 is long gone in favor of a far more reliable 350 V8, the weirdly attractive bodywork and handsome interior are still all there. Not only is it in impeccable shape, it's up for auction on eBay. More »

Take note: You do not mess with the motorheads at Beyond.ca unless you want 46,000 righteously angry, resourceful, and tech-savvy Canadians on the lookout for you. This is especially true if you're an easily recognizable eight-fingered stoner who's too stupid to stash one of the more visible and distinctive cars in Calgary. Before long you'll have an unflattering new nickname and a target on your back that — thanks to Google Maps — is almost literally visible from orbit. More »

Here's another one from the "Ow, ow, ow, it burns make it stop" files. Pulled from a site possibly with origins in the former Soviet Socialist Republic, with absolutely no context or information, these pictures have us questioning the sanity of its maker. Talk all you want about "art cars", this is not art, it's evil. What kind of crazy person has six mufflers on their car? Sicko's have them, that's who. Last time we saw six mufflers on a car it was a malaise era Ford with more mufflers than pipe. What makes this even more ridiculous is the pictures appear to be taken in a tropical paradise of some sort. Where do you even get six exhaust pipes in a tropical paradise? UPDATE: It's in Bali. Sorry, we must have been hai. Gratuitous South Pacific reference added at no additional charge. More »

We received an email from a friend in which they claimed to have just seen the "craziest video ever on the Internet." Now, forgive us for being skeptical, but that's an extraordinarily bold statement. The Internet is a big place and almost designed from the get-go as an outlet for the wacky and bizarre, once it graduated from being a means to communicate in the aftermath of nuclear Armageddon to a place to display funny pictures of cats and homebrewed celebrity pr0n. And yet, after a half-hour visit to the link, we were rocking back and forth in the corner contemplating what had just been witnessed. More »

The breathless one's gotten what he claims to be a scoop from a PR pic released today from the General's design studio. It shows the terrible trio of "Slick" Rick Wagoner, "Maximum" Bob Lutz, and Fritz "Show Me The Money" Henderson standing in front of what they're claiming is "A full-scale production clay model of the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro" as it "starts to take shape at GM's Warren, Michigan, Design Center, Rear Wheel Drive Performance Studio." But the breathless one's less concerned about the looking-very-similar-to-concept Camaro, and more concerned with what he's saying is on the wall behind little Fritzie. He's of the opinion (via super-secret e-mails with us) this Volt look-a-like: More »
