Most people would back up and come at the garage from a different angle, but I guess that’s not an option when one of your wheels is already broken off. The unlicensed 16-year-old driver was allegedly hiding the car after a hit-and-run, per CTV. So, what’s a few more scrapes on the door?
It was less than a year ago that we reported a serious crash at the bottom of Vancouver's Cambie Street after a utility pole in seemingly the worst place split an Audi in half without killing anyone — the latest accident in the same spot where more than a dozen cars have crashed since the early '90s.
The Ferrari F40 is arguably one of the most beautiful modern Ferraris, but there's no argument that it's the most bonkers. Giant turbos, huge wing, and no serious driver aids to speak of, it is not easy to drive (they crash all the time) as an owner in Vancouver discovered yesterday when he wrecked one in the rain.
At first, when Douglas's dad woke him up around 3:00 am to say there was a crash outside their house in suburban Vancouver, it wasn't a shock. More than a dozen cars have ended up in their lawn over the last twenty years. The shock didn't come until Douglas saw the flaming Audi A7 split in half and roasting in a…
Distracted driving is bad, but even inattentive drivers tend to jump-to when they notice a white American sedan with black steel wheels pull up next to them. The City of Vancouver's solution? Cops dressed up like transients. Tricky tricky, Vancouver. UPDATE!
This is the music video for “Savage Night at the Opera” from the Vancouver-based band Destroyer’s new album Kaputt. It’s a motorcycle homage to Rendezvous shot in Vancouver by David Galloway, and unlike that video of the new fastest lap around Manhattan, it’s entirely lovely to watch—and it comes with a twist.
Nick Croken was sailing off of Canada's Pacific Coast when he came across this bizarre sight: A decommissioned warship connected to a trash barge, atop which sat a pristine Audi RSQ prototype like the one used in the Will Smith sci-fi action flick I, Robot. He turned to Jalopnik for answers. Here's what our exclusive…
Of all the videos to come out of the Vancouver riots, the most striking was a woman defending a BMW from the hordes of angry protestors. Now we know the rest of the story: Not only wasn't the car hers, amazingly, she didn't even know the owner.
A prop taxi used in the Canadian version of the TV show Cash Cab struck and killed a 61-year-old pedestrian on a street in Vancouver late last week. The driver, a production staff member, had been returning from a shoot.
Even as the remains of vehicles still smoldered in downtown Vancouver after Thursday's hockey hooligan riots, many Vancouverites vowed to set things right. Here's one way they did it: Covering a police cruiser in scores of thank-you post-its.
Vancouver hooligans: Just because your preferred collection of mercenary athletes failed to prevail in their months-long quest for an old silver bowl doesn't mean you should take to the streets and start burning cars. Ask Detroit how that works out.
An open air sculpture installation in Vancouver, Canada full of three-foot long Volkswagen Beetle sculptures was vandalized last week. One of the sculptures has even been stolen for the second time this year.

Here are members of the U.S. Olympic bobsledding team doing what they do best (not bobsledding): surfing in the back of the boxtruck used to haul sleds up the track in Vancouver. Wait, "bobsled" isn't a trademark, right? [@SteveMesler]
The three Canadian-made Olympia electric ice-resurfacers that failed miserably last night are being replaced by one good o'l American-made Zamboni. USA! USA! USA!
The electric Zambonis — part of Canada's attempt at a green Vancouver Olympics — failed multiple times this evening, causing a massive delay in in the middle of the Men's 500-meter speedskating event. Hmm, wethinks it needs more internal combustion!
Canadian engineering students try to replicate a car-hanging prank previously pulled by U.S. students - but come up horribly short.
We saw the Chuck D-centric Olds 98 in Toronto a couple weeks back, and now the Canadian contingent is back with a whole bunch of seriously rare machines for our enjoyment. Donkeyassman has spotted a Lotus Europa, Lotus Elan, Chevy Chevelle, Mazda Eunos, and a pair of Honda Beats in the city of Burnaby, B.C. So put on…
"They bait car'd my ass!" should be some sort of rallying cry, although we'd prefer a pithy, Strong Bad-esque "BAIT-CARRED!" to the sentiment of some tweaked-out bro-deo refugee swipin' cars for drug money. Still, that's Darren's tagline, and he's the new anti-meth/anti-crime mascot of the Vancouver PD. Kids, don't…
