The residents of George Street in Shefford, UK sure know how to have a good time. They’ll apparently find any excuse to throw a party. I don’t know this for absolutely certain, but I’m extrapolating because they all got together to throw a birthday party for a Volkswagen Golf Mk5 that’s been abandoned on the […]
There was that time when a group of unnamed website staffers sitting around a Detroit Airbnb got to talking and I learned that almost everybody else in the world steals a lot more than I do, and I’m kind of a dweeb. Or at least they “used to.” But none of that even begins to […]
On Wednesday video circulated around social media in which an unidentified man — we’ll call him ‘the protagonist’ — wearing nothing but an oversized panda costume head and rollerblades ripped his way down I-670 in Columbus, Ohio holding a selfie stick. The video appears to be from this week, which saw daily high…Read more… Continue […]
Do you know the number of lumens your car’s headlight bulbs are supposed to be putting out? Do any of us? Probably not, unless you’re employed as a clerk at an auto parts store, or you’re a lighting expert. So, let’s not blame this individual in Washington State who fixed their busted-ass headlights by replacing […]
We’ve all had bad days behind the wheel. Maybe your project car breaks down miles from home, or maybe you get into a little fender bender. But a man from Northampton, Northamptonshire, England is here to challenge all of our bad car days. He managed to get his Renault Megane impounded a mere 30 seconds […]
It’s 2020 and times are tough. Sometimes you have to get a bit creative to make a little cash. Like for instance, taking trashed metal to a scrapyard for some extra dough. But this Florida man and his Toyota Camry? He’s taking an entire utility pole from the side of an interstate highway.Read more… Continue Reading […]

I’m usually of the opinion that flamethrowers make everything better. Birthday party? Add a flamethrower. Funeral? Add a flamethrower. Business deal? Add a flamethrower! But one place a flamethrower probably shouldn’t be is on your evening commute. This guy didn’t get the memo.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
We’ve written before about an impressive and excitingly alarming automotive device called the Grappler Police Bumper. The Grappler Bumper lets one car snare and capture another, an action much like you would witness if such a thing as car rodeos existed. While the potential for misuse is pretty high, it looks as if…Read more… Continue […]
As someone who once lived in Los Angeles for almost 20 years, I can tell you that, like all Angelenos, I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time considering police chases. They’re a staple on LA news and, when you’ve seen enough of them, you start to really think about what sort of car you’d want […]
The police just recovered a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro that was reported stolen way back in 1988. The car emerged from the depths of an Indiana reservoir earlier this week after a fisherman using a sonar device to search for lunkers discovered the vehicle and contacted authorities. The Camaro, it should surprise no one to…Read more… […]
I really should just make a find-and-replace template for this article, because we’ve had to write about idiots sleeping at the wheels of their Teslas driving on Autopilot so many times now. If these are the ones getting reported, it’s very likely this happens far more often. That, I suppose, is why we should cover…Read […]
Sure, the protestors who have filled the streets all summer with their anti-racism, anti-fascist message say they aren’t a well-regulated secret force on the payroll of the Democratic party. But they would say that, wouldn’t they! Luckily, one reportedly drunk Portland man who ran his truck up a utility pole guy-wire…Read more… Continue Reading at […]
The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation has been called into its neighboring state to investigate the fatal hit-and-run of 55-year-old Joe Boever, who died after he was allegedly struck by a vehicle driven by South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg.

The alarming trend of increased speeding violations and, in some cases, a year-over-year doubling of traffic fatalities during the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the fall, as police agencies around the country report it’s an all-out death race on America’s roads right now.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
In Manhattan last night, a car plowed into and through protesters marching for Daniel Prude in Times Square. People quickly figured out that the car was filled with pro-Trump agitators. And that the NYPD had all but given them an escort. And that the car belongs to one of those cop-car wannabe guys. Everything about…Read […]
There’s been some exciting skulduggery going on with Tesla, and I’m not even exaggerating things just so I could finally use the word “skulduggery” in a post. In fact, I think it’s been a solid decade since that word was last used here. But I think it’s justified in the case of a Tesla employee […]
Fourteen people, including former UAW President Gary Jones, have been convicted of charges related to an ongoing federal corruption investigation. Criminal charges against another former UAW president, Dennis Williams, are reportedly expected tomorrow. Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
I feel like I’ve seen videos similar to this before, where a person is improbably hanging on the back of a swiftly-moving vehicle, and the most notable quality these people seem to have is a sort of preternatural calmness. Just look at this dude here, spotted hanging on the back of a box truck doing […]
