I, like a few of you I imagine, don’t really pay attention to Formula One in the off-season. Once the season is on, IT’S ON, but in the off season? It’s mostly just Kimi standing around looking awkward. I’m a racing man! Bring me the cars, at speed! So, when I saw the big flash of “MISSION WINNOW” on the back of the…
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
The pricing books for the 2019 Ram HD have just opened and they are sight to behold. Between the 2500 and the 3500, there are about 60 trims to choose from. But the important bit is that the cheapest one starts at $33,395.
Even as a kid, I didn’t understand the appeal of tiny cars. I still don’t get them now but at least with the Hot Wheels Track Builder System Race Crate, they’ll get lost in an extra cool fashion. This discounted set lets you build three different challenge setups to keep things interesting.
IndyCar has behind the game when it comes to cockpit safety measures. Most other forms of open-wheel racing have adopted the halo, which has proved to be as ugly as it is effective. After testing a windscreen and still struggling with implementation, the American series has opted for something entirely different: the…
Just when you think the LEGO craze can’t get any more over-the-top, some absolute genius out there finds a way to one-up everyone and build something even more ridiculous out of the plastic bricks. I thought the LEGO Bugatti Chiron was the epitome of cool. . . and then I saw the LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper.
A Virgin Atlantic flight making the grueling journey from Los Angeles to London yesterday hit a ground speed of at least 801 mph, thanks to a streak of fast-moving air in the jet stream over Pennsylvania. You’re probably wondering how, as breaking the sound barrier over land is illegal, but despite surpassing the…
Unless you live in a very large house, Dyson’s V8 cordless vacuum is probably the only vacuum you need. While it lasts for Prime Day, you can get the Absolute model for just $350 from Amazon (also available at Walmart), the best price we’ve seen since Black Frida. The Absolute features the longest battery life in the…
My emotional journey with the newest generation of the Toyota Prius went like this: I hated it for being ugly, then I liked it for being different, and now I’m back to pretty much hating it. But the good news is that fuel economy figures for the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid are just as good, and that car looks way…
Cars are the future, I increasingly think, especially in the U.S., where huge investment in mass transportation seems unlikely and the infrastructure is designed pretty much exclusively for cars. Which is partly why urban electric cars are all the rage, one of the latest being Citroën’s Ami One concept, a delightful…
The SUV and crossover market in the U.S. is white hot, and to remain competitive, automakers have been rolling out new turbocharged powertrains, more gears in their transmissions, and often a variant that at least appears to have some semblance of off-road capability. So that’s what GMC’s done with the new 2020 GMC…
Nike is one of the most desirable workout-wear brands, but quality gear often comes at a price. But thanks to a deal Nike’s running through February 23, don’t sweat the cost of a new Nike wardrobe. Now, take $30 off orders of $150 or more with promo code SPORT30, and treat yourself to a new pair of cool sneakers, or…
Formula One is back, baby! It might just be pre-season testing in Barcelona, but that doesn’t mean it’s not time to start getting absolutely amped. All the teams have released their official liveries for the 2019 season, and we’ve finally got to see them (well, all of them except Williams) in action on the track.
Have you ever watched a show like Mad Men and wondered where they found those early Xerox machines? Or where The Americans got their hands on all the Reagan-era IBMs that you thought would be piled in a landfill? Well, there’s a good chance these historically-accurate gadgets came from a massive warehouse in…
Almost 35 years ago, the 1982 Mazda 254i Le Mans racer disappeared.
The car, based on the RX-7 of the time, was one of two designed and entered in the legendary 24 hour endurance race. After a poor result there, it was thought that the company scrapped both cars in shame. But, against all odds, one 254i has been…
Despite the recent prediction of a certain groundhog, it still very much feels like winter outside — which is why you should take advantage of Marmot’s sale on a flurry of items that are from “last season.” Like good ol’ Punxsutawney Phil (and many other brands), the outdoor retailer has declared that spring is here,…
Want a six-speed manual sedan that’s not wildly expensive? The 2020 Toyota Corolla is still, somehow, here for you. I’m driving one here in Savannah, Georgia, as well as the new hybrid sedan, which is rated by the government at a surprisingly good 53/52 mpg. I want to know if you can turn traction control off. What do …
Japan likes to do things differently. While the rest of the world is obsessing over crossovers and SUVs, the humble minivan is still very much a family favorite here. It might be a dying breed in other markets but the minivan is still going strong in Japan. The van culture in Japan is unlike any other, perhaps with…

Why does it seem like everyone is just collectively terrible at driving all the time? I can’t go anywhere these days without someone doing something so incredibly infuriating that it makes me question the whole “driving is fun” thing in the first place. How can driving be fun when terrible humans who can’t maneuver a…
