I come before you, oh readers, as I stare down a pile of laundry that includes way too many Porsche shirts and a large bag to pack. I am off to Rennsport Reunion VI, Porsche’s gathering of its most significant race cars and other vehicles. There is even a tractor race. I leave tomorrow. I will not sleep tonight.
Motorcycle riders don’t enjoy the same luxury of safety that people in cars do. They are completely exposed and a collision that wouldn’t really hurt a driver can seriously injure a rider. So, it’s understandable that when this rider narrowly avoids colliding with a stunting Lamborghini, the rider’s alleged girlfriend…
Not every car is suited to every job. We know this. It’s pretty much one of the big reasons why so many different kinds of cars exist. Just for our own perverse fun, though, let’s imagine some of the worst possible jobs for some specific cars. Why not, right?
In Trump’s America, requiring flammable, oil-toting trains employ better braking systems apparently isn’t worth it.
I’m pretty skeptical that the VC-backed subscription box trend will survive long term, but there’s nothing wrong with taking advantage of them while they’re around. You can get basically anything delivered in a monthly surprise box these days, from clothes, to wine, to meat, to toys. And since most of these companies…
If you’re into exotic cars, you’re probably living in the best era for them. No longer the scarce things they once were, you can get your mitts on more of them than ever before. AMG makes legit supercars, Aston Martin’s range is ever expanding, Ferrari’s on a roll lately, Lamborghini’s SUV is… a thing, and McLaren’s…
A lot of you had OPINIONS today about Elon Musk’s fans offering free assistance for Tesla’s shipping woes. While some of you felt disgusted that a rich and powerful CEO would take up the labors of kind, though completely untrained, enthusiasts for free, others cheered the idea on and even came up with ways to get…
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
The kicker for Car And Driver’s 10,000 mile check-in report for its Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio long-term loan reads: “When we have it, we love driving it. We just wish we had it more.” It perfectly represents the disappointment of having such a fun new car plagued with so many problems, but who is surprised?
The 2018 Lexus LS500 is already a luxurious car. It’s got leather everywhere you look, and it’s loaded with the latest technology. With no options whatsoever, the car already costs $75,200. But if you really want to go all-out, it has one single option box you can tick off that costs an astounding $23,000.
The upcoming 2019 Toyota Supra has been a long journey from will they, won’t they to us now being so close to finally seeing it in production form. Back in March, it seemed for sure that there were zero plans on the table to offer a manual option, but now that has changed!
Remote controlled cars might be made for kids, but you’ll likely see some adults taking a lap in the GPToys S916 since it’s down to just $64 with code PW5PWPLX at checkout. Not only can this truck max out at 26mph, each wheel is supported with shockproof stable springs to allow for ample off-roading. Control the truck…
Sheds are exciting things, right? Standing there all still, keeping shit like coiled hoses and bags of peat moss protected from the elements—what could make them any better? Just one thing: speed. One shed has achieved the goal of speed, and has even set a new record for the fastest shed on the planet: 101.5 mph.
I remember I tried drifting the entire length of the Nürburgring in Forza once. I rage-quit an eighth of the way through. But apparently, if you’re professional drifter and Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr., you don’t need an Xbox. You can do the real thing in a 900-horsepower, modified Ford Mustang.
Popular IndyCar driver and Dancing with the Stars (?) runner-up James Hinchcliffe called for collective bargaining among drivers in IndyCar today, arguing that there should be league minimums like the NFL. “There are drivers out there right now that drive for free. You shouldn’t have to risk your life for free.”
Back when I was a teen, doing teen things like playing Metal Gear Solid 2 with my buds, I couldn’t wait to start driving. But the last car I wanted to be seen driving was a minivan because that was a lame car for parents and I wanted to be cool and awesome. (Spoiler alert, I was still never cool in high school.) That…
You may recall the tragic story of Josef Ganz, the very influential German motor journalist and engineer who was one of the several people who were developing cars in Germany in the 1930s that would directly and heavily influence the design of the famous Volkswagen Beetle. Ganz was written out of history by the Nazis,…
Audi’s all-new, all-electric SUV, the 2019 E-Tron, will be the first electric offering from the automaker with a starting price of $74,800. It’s a considerable amount of money, even for a luxury car, and Audi has plans on how to best sell it.
Diatomaceous earth is one of the most effective weapons we have against bugs, and Amazon will sell you a 10 pound bag of the stuff for $18, a rare discount from its usual $20-$22. Despite the unspeakable things it does to bugs in your yard, it’s actually food grade, and completely non-toxic for humans and pets. It…
Richard Parker locked down a job at a Ford plant in the Detroit area, and, like most residents of the region, needed a car to get to work. It was 1991, and at the time he had shaky credit, so it was plenty difficult finding a company willing to lend him money for the purchase. That changed with Credit Acceptance…
