A decade or so ago, it seemed like hydrogen cars could be the long-range, clean alternative to fossil fuels we were looking for.

Walking around the Frankfurt Motor Show this week, there were Audi E-tron shuttles zooming around to ferry attendees between the press room and the far reaches of the show.

Part of the problem with motorsports is that, with the distant perspective of most TV cameras, it’s hard to get a sense of how crazy the action on track actually is.

Earlier today Alanis gave us all a breakdown of how the NASCAR playoffs will operate. Points, championships, races, stages, players; it’s all been broken down into a relatively easy to digest packet of information. Even those of us who don’t regularly follow the series can somewhat figure it out now. Read more… Continue Reading at […]
The production version of the 2020 Volkswagen ID.3 electric hatchback was finally revealed earlier this week, and despite it having a 341-mile range and 200 hp powering the rear wheels, VW is already talking about tuning it out to be a full hot hatch.

It’s the 15th anniversary of one of the greatest publicity stunts in all of television—the day Oprah Winfrey surprised an audience of hundreds of people in need of reliable transportation with brand-new Pontiac G6 sedans, but then left them on the hook for the thousands in taxes that came with them.Read more… Continue Reading at […]
Fifty-three foot trucks are not allowed on most New York City streets for a reason. I could sit here and explain to you what those reasons are, or you could just watch this horrendous video of a 53-foot truck eradicate this Toyota Matrix XR, knock out a hydrant, and otherwise lock down an entire Queens […]

Nearly 340,000 Ford Explorers from the 2017 model year will need a trip to the dealership soon, but not to be traded for new ones with a bit more power and ST badges all over—unless that’s your thing. Instead, it’s for a new recall, because the SUVs have been rolling around for years now with […]
