Few things grind my gears more than scalpers and just a few days after Tesla launched its Cyberquad for Kids, some of those fortunate enough to secure an order are already looking to flip the electric ATV online. A search on eBay reveals dozens of listings for the ATV from those that secured an order

It shouldn’t have to be said, but stealing someone’s car is a bad thing – and, of course, a crime. Even worse, though, is crashing that stolen car into the police cars pursuing you, and that’s exactly what happened last week in North Carolina. Last Wednesday at around midnight, Wwatv3 reports that Winston-Salem police came across

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released a plethora of fuel economy details for various 2022 model year vehicles but it’s not those that have caught our attention. Instead, it is the weird image that the EPA has added to its Fuel Economy website. Evidently, those behind the website didn’t want to use a stock

Just a few weeks after it emerged more than 165 people have claims pending against Hertz, the rental car giant has found itself in hot water yet again, this time because of how it treated a customer in New York. Kate Klonick, an assistant professor at St John’s University School of Law and a New

Hit and run accidents are, unfortunately, quite common, especially in parked vehicles. Imagine walking to your car and realizing that someone damaged it, leaving it to you to clean up the mess. Searching for clues in order to locate the perpetrators can be challenging; however, sometimes it’s not that hard. As proven by the pictures

A police officer and an unsuspecting motorist have been lucky to survive a scary collision in Idaho.

Police in the Australian state of Queensland made a particularly bizarre discovery during a traffic stop earlier this week. Bodycam footage from the officer with the Queensland Police Service shows him stopping the vehicle, which looks to be a 1990’s Suzuki Jimny converted into a pickup truck.

Lexus partnered with Germane Barnes, an American architect, designer and assistant professor of Architecture at the University of Miami to design a sculpture based on the LF-Z Electrified concept.

A Porsche 911 Turbo is already about the best winter-beater supercar on the planet thanks to its compact dimensions, great visibility, traction-boosting rear-biased weight distribution and all-wheel drive. But this modified, Safari-style 911 Turbo spotted by Matt in or around Chicago looks like it could face down the kind of weather disaster only Hollywood can

If the Aston Martin Residences in Miami didn’t strike your fancy, perhaps you’ll find these Lamborghini-inspired villas more to your liking. Developed by Emaar Properties, the Dubai Hills Vista project is slated to be completed in 2026 and be a gated community that consists of 40 multi-tiered villas that feature expansive gardens, private pools, and

These images that were recently shared to the Facebook page of C8 Corvette Owners (And Friends) were snapped at a parking lot somewhere in the U.S. It

Here’s a new thing I learned today: vineyards are often too narrow for traditional tractors. Here’s another thing: New Holland and Pininfarina are working together on a tractor to solve that. Designed specifically for wine-growing regions where high-quality grapes are grown, such as Champagne, Medoc, and Burgundy, the Straddle Tractor Concept will work in areas

While the Cybertruck’s launch has been pushed back until sometime next year, those hankering after a mishmash of sharp angles had the opportunity to avail themselves of a  much smaller — and cheaper — substitute.

A man from Houston, Texas has been sentenced to nine years in a federal prison after fraudulently receiving more than $1.6 million in low-interest Paycheck Protection Program loans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If we’re to believe the internet’s hearsay, BMW drivers are supposedly notorious for their lack of road manners and for not using their car’s turn signals as often as they should. However, a new study from the UK makes an even bolder claim about them. More specifically, the study goes as far a suggesting that

The steel Radio Flyer wagon was introduced in 1927 and it’s gone on to become a classic piece of Americana that is still in production today. That brings us to this massive version of the wagon, which will be auctioned by Mecum next month. Details are sadly lacking, but the giant replica has been transformed

A Ferrari SF90 Stradale prototype was destroyed over the weekend in a crash. The incident happened near Hoffenheim, Germany, and footage taken after the crash shows that this wasn’t a production SF90 as its exterior was clad in black and white camouflage. A look inside the cabin also reveals heaps of testing equipment and additional

The Rolls-Royce Starlight Headliner is one of the best gimmicks on the market. Not all that technically impressive, but I defy you to sit under the sparkling roof and not go “ooh” and/or “ahh.” It should therefore come as no surprise that there are more than a few kits on the market that allow you

Mercedes is releasing a trio of strollers with the help of Germany’s Hartan. Adopting the automaker’s naming strategy, they are named AVANTGARDE, PERFORMANCE, and AMG GT.

Inspired by Bugatti’s La Voiture Noire one-off special, Champagne Carbon has now created its own one-off creation: La Bouteille Noire. A carbon fiber bottle that was the result of 150 hours of work involving 37 steps holds 15 liters (4 gallons) of champagne. Fun fact: that size of bottle is called a Nebuchadnezzar, in Champagne circles.

In our days, it is common to come across trolls and fake accounts liking and commenting on social media, but the pinnacle of attention-grabbing strategy is hacking. This is what happened today to the official Instagram page of MazdaUSA, judging from their unconventional most recent post. This is a screenshot of the last post from

When people are caught, sometimes they’ll come up with the dumbest excuses to try getting out of trouble. That’s the case here, but police didn’t fall for the unconvincing act of a teenage car thief. According to the UK’s Greater Manchester Police, officers were on patrol in the Levenshulme area when they noticed a Kia

Sometimes pets can cause a mess with their traits, but unconditional love usually makes their owners forgive them. As a new video from the United Arab Emirates suggests, this is the case with a bear who while trying to eat a delicious apple, accidentally ripped the door off a bright orange Lamborghini Huracan Performante. The

Do you ever look at some of today’s unimaginative supercar startups, companies that think they’re really pushing boundaries but are actually barely touching them, and wish they would go a little crazy, put their venture capital money where their mouth is, and makes something really outrageous? And I’m not talking about turning the same old

All’s fair in love and war, but someone took that to extremes after apparently finding out their significant other was cheating on them.

A Florida man has been arrested despite jumping off a bridge while fleeing a traffic stop. earlier this month police officers attempted to pull over a stolen van that, as was later verified, was driven by 34-year-old Bryan Gray.

With the exception of the potent GR Yaris, the regular Yaris isn’t particularly striking. In fact, like most hatches, it slides under the radar. Not this one, though. These images of this modified Yaris were recently shared to Reddit after the hatch was spotted in a parking lot somewhere in California. The owner has made
