If you haven’t been watching Gymkhana Files, what have you been doing with your life? It just might be the most entertaining series of automotive serial programming in years, giving viewers bite-sized pieces of the drama, mental breakdown, and difficulty that goes into filming something as grandiose as Gymkhana has…
Sundays are perfect for getting lost in a good book. that must be why, for today only, Amazon is taking up to 80% off a selection of fiction reads for Kindle. Take your pick of timeless classics and newer novels, many of which are destined for the screen.
Ferrari’s 488 Spider is an absolute gem of a car, with striking good looks, unbelievably good turbocharged V8 motivation, and confidence-inspiring mid-engine dynamics that make it feel a little bit like a stupid fast 981 Boxster (That’s a really good thing, I promise). McLaren is smashing a gauntlet across the 488's…
Porsche is going all-in on electric performance in the near future, with the launch of the Tesla-fighter-with-the-worst-name Taycan, likely a hybrid 911, and a new Formula E team. This weekend Porsche gave the car its first semi-public debut during their annual Night of Champions celebration in Germany. Porsche have…
Despite having won three races in the 2018 season, LMP2 cars have been deemed by IMSA to be too slow to be competitive with their home-brew manufacturer-supported DPI class cars. As such, the DPI class will be allowed more go-fast for 2019 and split into its own class. No longer a contender for the overall victory,…
Personal care items, activewear, and the Kindle Paperwhite are some of the best deals online today.
It’s not exactly a secret that I loathe the current crop of pickup trucks. The so-called mid-sized trucks are too damn big, and absolutely overkill for a huge percentage of truck buyers. The average truck these days is bigger than the apartment I grew up in, and probably a lot more comfortable. The current Ford F450…
An encore of Amazon’s $5 off physical books coupon, an affordable modem, and tools for cleaning up after your pets are some of the hottest deals on the web today.
Our very overworked video team has finally gotten around to editing all the video taken this summer when I went on the big Airhead Treffen, a shared excuse for air-cooled Volkswagen owners all over to drive around and get together in one place and geek the fuck out over air-cooled VWs. That’s why you’ve been seeing…
Artificial intelligence is already beginning to spiral out of our control, a new report from top researchers warns. Not so much in a Skynet kind of sense, but more in a ‘technology companies and governments are already using AI in ways that amp up surveillance and further marginalize vulnerable populations’ kind of…
What kind of person still reads physical books? The best kind of person, IMO. If you’re one of them, this is probably your favorite time of year, because you know that Amazon always drops an awesome coupon. Just like Black Friday, the discount this time around is $5 off $20 via code GIFTBOOK18, and it works on…
When you’re selling your car, there’s nothing wrong with picking—perhaps even curating—the pictures you use to best display the vehicle you’re selling. That’s what I like so much about this Facebook Marketplace ad from a guy selling his 1985 El Camino. Yes, the in main picture of the car it’s currently on fire, but…
This world is populated with creative geniuses. The person who introduced the dashcam to Russia and provided the world with countless hours of entertainment is most certainly one of them. The person who has edited a NASCAR spotter overtop videos of those Russian dashcams? Well, that’s a whole new level of galaxy brain.
December is one of the most painful and yet most blessed times of the year. For those of us who are still slogging through the rigamarole of higher education, it means the double edged sword of finals followed by the sweet, sweet bliss of winter break. And folks, last night I turned in my last final essay. It is…
The Last Race is a story some know all too well, while others might not have ever thought about it: It’s the story of the fight to keep a community tradition alive, with commercial development closing in from all sides as the value of the land that tradition clings to continues to skyrocket. It’s the apprehension…
The path to women taking part in sanctioned American racing had to start somewhere. Long before women like Danica Patrick and Jennifer Jo Cobb were getting behind the wheel of stock cars, we had women like Sara Christian setting the stage—and at the first ever NASCAR race to boot.
Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
Bissell’s pet stain eraser isn’t just for pet stains; it’s great for cleaning up after messy humans as well, and two different models are on sale as part of Amazon’s 12 Days of Deals, complete with a bonus bottle of cleaning formula.
It’s a crazy world out there, and, as gearheads, we find ourselves on the streets more than most, since that’s the natural habitat of cars. The street is also where street drugs come from, so it only makes sense that a whole sub-category of street drugs would arise with the innocent and vulnerable car-lover in their…
You might think of Ferrari as a car company, and if you did, you’d be wrong. It’s so limiting. Ferrari should also be better known for its other materialistic conquests, like this $100 scratch-and-sniff calendar it convinced thousands of people to buy.
