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 […]
Police in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina have apparently just shut down a factory making knock-off Ferraris and Lamborghinis that, based on the photos, actually didn’t look terrible.

In what sounds like an average Wednesday morning in Logan County, Oklahoma, police pulled over two people driving a stolen car last week with expired tags. Oh, and it was also filled with guns, a rattlesnake, a canister of uranium powder and an open bottle of whiskey.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
I think somebody may have misunderstood how squatter’s rights work. That somebody is a Vancouver man who climbed into a parked Corvette C7 convertible with the top down, sat in the driver’s seat, and claimed the car was his. The owner of the car, and later the Vancouver police, disagreed. Read more…
Everyone is excited when the first pick up their new car, especially if their new car is a McLaren 600LT. Then they’re really excited. Possibly medically excited. It’s pretty certain that the 39-year-old Vancouver-area new McLaren owner was pretty excited about his new purchase, because within 10 minutes of picking…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
The Supreme Court ruled on some important stuff today with significant implications for the fate of our country for decades to come. This ruling, though, may be the weirdest of the bunch:Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
If you hit a car and then just try to drive away like nothing happened, you suck. Don’t do that. If you have accepted the fact that you do, in fact, suck, and decide to be shitty and drive away, though, you may want to be somewhat less dumb than the person who apparently drove […]

Tuesday morning police in Chicago shut down a block of automobile and pedestrian traffic for a “suspicious package” at 247 South State street near a DePaul University off-campus building. Chicago’s Red Line was also closed down as it runs directly under State. The object, as you can see in the photo above, is a can […]
Beau Alan Rogel of Rankin County, Mississippi has a habit of livestreaming his activities on YouTube. One recent stream of his showed him attempt and claim to hit 180 mph on public roads in his 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 before getting pulled over by the cops.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

Lawrence, Kansas police recently responded to a “road rage” call that quickly revealed itself as a pointless parking lot standoff between two people too childish to move out of each other’s way. The police department took to Twitter yesterday to describe the idiotic situation, and to dunk on the individuals involved. Read more… Continue Reading […]
Cops in Wales are looking for someone, or uh, some thing, that left a pick axe embedded in the hood of a street-parked Citroën DS 3 on Feb. 5. Whether this was an attempt at modern art, some creepy supernatural omen, or just the work someone who saw a clip of Homer Simpson adding “speed […]
Some folks in economically-struggling Papua New Guinea weren’t thrilled when their leadership approved the acquisition of expensive Maserati Quattroportes and other vehicles to drive around foreign leaders during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit last November. And now that the event has long concluded,…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
I can’t believe that there are people out there who still need to hear this, but here it is again: The middle of an interstate is not the place to have your street race meet up. Unfortunately, some dicks thought the I-24 in Antioch, Tennessee was the ideal location to rip out a few donuts, […]
