Stealing someone’s beloved car is such a scumbag move. But unfortunately, it happens. This time, the owners of a wonderful, yellow 1970 Ford F-250 Camper Special are distraught over the truck’s disappearance. Let’s see if we can help them find it.
Race cars designed to do one very specific thing very well are usually fun, in some way. Dragsters, F1 cars, track beasts like the Ariel Atom, cars made to race for pinks at streetlights like the Hellcat, they all have that certain assured quality of something that knows what it was made to do. That may be why this…
You could probably blanket a moderately sized country with all of the Wi-Fi smart plugs out there, but they all work basically the same way: They turn any AC outlet into a switch-controlled outlet, except the switch is your phone (or, more broadly is distressingly speaking, the internet). Quirky’s Switch Flip, by…
Clearly, BMW thought that our current crop of crossovers and SUVs were not large enough, so it made the 2019 X7 goddamn massive. This is it. Meet it. See it. Internalize it.
Why is it that England has so many tiny, niche, bespoke sports car companies that have been around in near-obscurity for decades despite questionable profitability? Besides the stuff owned by Germans these days, it seems like all they make.
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
Recent reports claim driver Guy Edwards, who ran 11 Formula One races over three years in the 1970s, has died at age 75. Corrections to those reports came out Tuesday morning, with Motorsport.com’s saying a “former colleague of Guy’s was able to track him down ... and confirm that he is very much still with us.” Oops.
1.) The first ever crash between two cars, both equipped with airbags, was between TWO Chrysler Lebarons! Both drivers survived. One’s last name was Woody and the other’s last name was Van Steelant, and I didn’t make those names up.
To the surprise of no one, Detroit City Council on Tuesday signed off on a $104 million tax break for Ford to rebuild the Michigan Central Station near downtown Detroit. The project is slated to become the hub of Ford’s autonomous and electric vehicle efforts, and it’ll come to fruition with the very generous help of…
The state of car colors in America is bleak. Despite some automakers offering a decent color or two, U.S. streets are overrun by black, white, gray and silver cars. But the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro is here to highlight those black and white streets like required reading for school, with Blinding Yellow as a factory color.
At 9,000 mAh, this Anker jump starter is smaller than most of the competition, but can still provide up to 15 jumps on a full charge while taking up less room in your glove box, assuming your engine is 2.8L or smaller. Nobody thinks they need one of these...until their car is dead in their driveway, and they’re late…
It was my dreaded nightmare and it finally happened: The garage valet scraped my car. Fucking dammit. I was pissed. What do you do if this happens to you?
Using ground-penetrating radar, archaeologists in Norway have discovered an ancient Viking ship buried just 20 inches beneath the surface of a farmer’s field. The 66-foot-long ship, deliberately buried during a funeral ritual, appears surprisingly intact—and it could contain the skeletal remains of a high-ranking…
This past Sunday, cars, bikes and trucks of varying degrees of radness descended upon the Philadelphia Navy Yard for the inaugural Radwood Philadelphia event. It kicked ass.
If you’re a nervous flyer, turbulence of any kind is alarming. It’s especially bad when you’re coming in closer to the ground during landing. There are a lot of bumps and jolts that can feel frightening as they’re happening—but they’re nothing your pilot isn’t trained to handle.
This week’s New Yorker features a scathing article on Google’s self-driving car program, detailing the stories of nightmarish mismanagement and at least one crash involving self-driving cars that went mostly unreported. We want to shine more light on what happens behind closed doors in our race to get self-driving…
I’m pretty sure that driving while you really, really have to take a shit is at least as dangerous as driving drunk. Your body tenses up, your focus shifts from the road ahead to the road within, on which you’re desperately trying to stop the flow of, um, traffic—it’s just dangerous. Better to pull over and find a…
Eat your hearts out, Swiss. Gerber’s MP600 Multi-Plier features 12 “curated” tools inside a single stainless steel plier set. Cut, crimp, saw, screw...you can do it all for an all-time low $47 right now. This would make a great gift too, if you want to go ahead and cross someone off your holiday list.
I just don’t get it. Somehow we live in a world where non car-enthusiasts keep buying SUVs with no off-road capability, and car enthusiasts keep spending ridiculous sums on Porsche 911s. All this when really, they should all be buying this five-speed 1990 Plymouth Voyager Turbo for much, much less. What am I not…
