The idea of converting classic cars to EVs has been around a while, and a number of companies, including some major automakers, have been retrofitting old, classic cars with all-new EV drivetrains. Individual tinkerers have been doing this as well, but it’s not as easy as you’d hope. Dealing with salvaged EV…

Five-time Formula One Champion Lewis Hamilton has been very vocal about his current eco-friendly bent. Whether he’s going vegan or encouraging fans to treat the world with respect, Hamilton is using his platform for a more activist cause. And reigning two-time Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne is challenging him to…

Your first car is usually some hand-me-down box of rust. In my case it was an ’84 Volvo 240 DL, the interior of which was immaculate but the exterior less so. Your second car, on the other hand, tends to be a more active decision. When I got word that a friend of a friend was selling a running ’90 Chevy S-10 for…

Oh, Formula One. One year, officials are cheering for a computer to toss a digital checkered flag in attempts to eliminate human error and confusion—you know, showing a flag too soon and ending a race early. The next, people want to bring back the power of the real checkered flag, because, wait for it: The computer…

Sometimes it is worth acknowledging the cars that live street-parked lives do not have it easy. You know, the ones that get a pitiful shake of your head as you walk by. And today, one such car is this 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG which certainly has seen better days.

Ford Mustangs have always blended into the grey for me. Even the really rare or crazy ones. Mach 1s, GT500s, EcoBoosts, or even the rental spec V6s; it doesn’t matter. As exotic as they try to be, they’re always part of the norm here in America. But that concept changed for me once I got to experience a new Ford…

The AMG variants of the Mercedes C-Class have been powered by many different engines over the years. The cars have used straight-sixes, V8s, supercharged V6s (represent) and twin-turbocharged V8s. And if this new rumor I’ve just heard is true, then Mercedes might drop the V8 in the next AMG C63 model altogether in…

If you’ve been collecting airline miles for a while, then you’ve also probably started to look at what you can potentially do with them. The value of those miles can vary pretty dramatically depending on where you want to go and when. If those miles are on Delta, the airline has a page dedicated to showing you where…

As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. This week we are discussing off-lease luxury SUVs, the market for used Lexus sport sedans and at what mileage do cars become problematic?

Ever since Alexei Leonov first floated around like a Soviet piñata outside his Voskhod 2 spacecraft in 1965, people have been free floating in space, first to learn how, then to get things done. While the first woman walked in space back in 1984 (cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya, on Salyut 7), today is the first time a…

The United Auto Workers are still on strike even with a deal in sight, Nissan’s new boss plans a slow and steady recovery, Volkswagen’s American babysitter is sticking around and more for this most glorious Morning Shift of Friday, Oct. 18, 2019.

When the 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette moved its engine to sit behind the driver, I thought for sure its visibility would improve over the front-engine C7's. The hood’s shorter and doesn’t need to accommodate an engine, for crying out loud. But that’s apparently not the case, according to some very thoroughly gathered…

If someone were to ask you, “do you want to drift a bus,” there’s only one answer. Hell yeah I wanna drift a bus! Hyundai obviously knows what’s up here, because it’s developed a one-of-a-kind bus made specially for drifting. And it is glorious.

Happy Friday! This will be me at exactly 5 p.m. today, fleeing the office in my 911 convertible done up by Rinspeed. Yes, I know the looks are extremely questionable. I’m far too rich to care what you think.
