This afternoon, online viewers of politics-meets-Ambien channel C-SPAN were treated to a disturbing change in programming: For around 10 minutes, the web stream aired RT (formerly Russia Today) instead.
Ever wonder how commercial flights are allowed to pass over and through many different sovereign nations without causing a fuss? You can thank the International Civil Aviation Organization.
I mean, if we’re going to eventually get flying cars (we won’t ever get flying cars, you fools), we can technically fly them in any goddamn direction we want, right?Which means, why the hell not flip the car upside down and fly around New York with the road as your roof and the sky as the ground.
A North Miami outfit has created a remarkably low-tech “modification” for a self-balancing electric scooter (AKA “hoverboard”) that allows it to be operated from a beach chair. It can even tow all your other giant goofy toys.
Some brave Canadian laddermen recently showed up to put out a grass fire, but their hoses weren’t getting any suction from the hydrant. Why? Because it was stuffed with fucking fish!
Most trikes are bad trikes, because they’re “I like to roll over” trikes. But this trike isn’t one of those trikes. It’s better than those trikes—because it’s bigger than those trikes.
Earlier this month local news in Mexico said a woman’s 1991 Nissan pickup truck was stolen at a gas station in Hermosillo. She posted this hand-scribbled picture to Facebook which was immediately turned into a meme. It’s kind of mean, kind of funny but hey, she did end up getting her truck back!
A primate was found perched on the seat of a motorcycle, maybe seconds away from mastering its controls and finally bridging the eternal gap between monkeys and humans in the motorcycle community. Then some asshole had to go and throw a shoe at it.
Why waste your pennies going road racing when you could try your hands at these ten bizarre sports?
The age-old question, “If cars could drive, what cars would they drive?” has finally been answered. These are the ten cars that cars would drive if cars could drive.
We have plenty of famous street circuits in racing, but I’ve never seen anything quite like the 1000 km of Palanga. It’s not just a street course. It’s a course made entirely out of a Lithuanian freeway, complete with off-ramps worked into the course design itself. Take a look at this bizarre race.
Some creative Canadian cooked up with absurd chain-driven mower-based screw-propelled Max Max vehicle and we salute him.
Every now and then, the 24 Hours of LeMons forums will remind me that the magical online wonderland known as Race Image exists. Race Image is where the extra gear from various American race teams ends up for sale. This week, they've got a whole set of earplugs from NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick.
British adventure sports entrepreneur Alex Ledger has an idea for a new racing series; small rally-prepped ATV-type things blasting up and down ski slopes. Say no more and sign me up!
Perversely perfect.
Despite the fact it seems insane that this ever actually made it into a real safety campaign in the first place, South Dakota's "Don't Jerk and Drive" public service message is no more. Unsurprisingly, there were quite a few complaints.
Folks in Shaoxing City raised eyebrows when some punk pulled up in a Porsche Cayman and opened up an impromptu scarf-vending stall on Shengli Dong Road. He said he felt bad asking parents for gas money after they bought him the car.
Embarrassing open mic nights, topical parodies, gaming tutorials—these are the YouTube videos we know. The ones we replay and the ones we send to our friends, coworkers, families, and everyone we know. But YouTube has another layer. One where view counts sit at zero and bizarre bits of film rot away in indifference.…
This illustration of what looks like a motorcycle powering a Rube Goldberg machine is being identified as a patent-render for a vehicle reportedly being cooked up by students at Chang'an University in Xi'an, China. Looks neat, if a little pointless.
If you want a grossly gaudy ride to the prom that looks fresh off a rack at Toys R Us, get a Hummer H2 and slap 20 feet of fuselage between the wheels. Real rough n' tumble off-road party goers will pick this jacked-up Lincoln Town Car every time.
