Some Mercedes owner in Glasgow must really have something against vans, because they sure appeared to be determined not to use a van to transport (at least) three large leather armchairs, which were strapped precariously to the outside of the car, piled absurdly high. As with all of these sorts of things, I’m sort of…Read […]
Earlier this year, Tesla released “Sentry mode,” a feature that uses Tesla vehicles’ already-existing cameras to provide security footage of possible threats. The feature apparently works, because it just caught someone keying the bejesus out of a Tesla Model 3. And now that person has turned herself in to face…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
It’s unusual to encounter a tire that is genuinely, biologically disgusting, but that’s pretty much exactly what happened in Derby, England, when a police officer noticed that a minivan had a front tire that appeared to be suffering from a severe dermatological disease. Being a tire, this wasn’t exactly the case, but…Read more… Continue Reading […]
A family in Katy, Texas has been displaced by a Ford Explorer Sport Trac that plowed straight into their house and came clear through to the other side. It might have kept right on trucking, too, if it hadn’t been for a brave tree standing its ground.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

Teens! They are amazing and also terrifying. These days some of them are getting addicted to flavored e-cigarettes; others are out there trying to kick climate change’s ass. Yet others still are getting into typical teen mischief, and if this Michigan crime is any indication, modern teens are more cunning than ever.Read more… Continue Reading […]
Sometimes, you have to look past our national no-snitching policy and report a driver who is endangering themselves and others on the road. Where do you draw the line?Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

Late yesterday afternoon, along a mostly empty Canadian highway, the laws of physics grew bored and decided to have some fun with an errant box truck. Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
I realize that what this guy did is a bad idea, and he potentially endangered other drivers, and I think he deserved the £195/$237 (£80 fine, plus surcharge of £30 and £85 in costs of some sort) fine he received. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m pretty impressed he managed to haul an […]

Early Friday morning police responded to a break in at the National Automobile Museum in downtown Reno, Nevada. I live in Reno myself, and have visited the museum a number of times, each one a treat. As soon as I heard the reports, a chill went down my spine. This museum is home to a […]

British publication The Sun, a sometimes terrible and occasionally entertaining tabloid across the pond, is reporting that concerns are boiling among human rights groups, former government ministers, and some legal experts about Mercedes-Benz using vehicle location data to track down customers who default on their…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
It’s no secret that keyless entry systems don’t fully protect you against car theft. That hasn’t prevented automakers from building such cars—or consumers from buying them—but this video showing how easy it is to steal several different keyless cars might start changing some minds.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
The new Cadillac XT6 doesn’t seem to stand a chance against the new Lincoln Aviator, some United Auto Workers idiots are in trouble for not handing out watches, a dealer owner faces five centuries of jail time, and Trump is blaming everyone but himself for the recession scare. All that and more for The Morning […]
As a genuine taillight enthusiast—I’ve been to Tailcon 15 years running and cosplayed as a Ford Cortina taillight for the last three—I can honestly say I’m delighted to see this sort of clever junkpile engineering happening to do a temporary fix on a taillight. If you can’t find any red lens tape or a scrap […]
There’s sort of a stereotype of Tesla owners having this elevated sense of self-worth and entitlement since they believe that the fact that they drive a fast, luxurious electric car means they’re saving the world for the rest of us drooling simpletons. Of course, like all stereotypes, this is likely unfair and can’t…Read more… Continue […]
A video making rounds on the internet appears to show a Virginia man revving the crap out of his C5 Corvette in the middle of the night until the vehicle catches fire. For some reason, even with the car ablaze, the man continues revving the V8 until the car becomes an even bigger fireball. It […]
