The cops never really let them go. Alloys are not reliable enough for all those dangerous TV-tastic car pursuits.

Will be fascinating to find out how the horribly corrupt FIA will collaborate with the horribly corrupt IOC to figure out how to use this to fill their dirty hands with even more money...

How Lancia went from creating incredible cars like this:

Agreed, but I would argue it was not a disappointment, it was a foregone conclusion the moment GM bought Saab... 

While your statement is correct, your picture is totally wrong. Your picture is of a 2nd Gen. Honda CR-X VTEC (in fact taken straight from the wikipedia page), the ultimate small, light, economical, fun, go-kart car of the 80s. The CR-Z, which was supposed to be its spiritual successor looked okay, but was heavy and…

There’s a certain stormtrooper helmet quality to this beauty. Who knows, perhaps a Star Wars fan will impulse-buy it...

This is the same country where teenagers think coal-rolling cyclists is cool and fun. It’s just dangerous out there...

Whatever this is called?

In reality, Voyager 2 is very close to not having enough power for any of the instruments it carries, with a last-instrument shutdown date expected in 2026. Since it’s already outside of the heliopause, it is not too likely to encounter something overly interesting in that time (though the amount of plasma it found…

Not familiar with his taste in cars, but his life interests were all over the place, so I can see that...

That hideous Porsche Targa Limo is even trying to copy the back and front of the Porsche 959 for good measure. I’d say the only thing to do is:

Wealth without taste is a sad affliction that seldom worries its patients... Not an expression of obvious beauty, but the Starck/Jobs Venus yacht has a kind of a unique timeless design

Karl Stromberg had it all figured out back in 1977 (The Spy Who Loved Me, one of my favorite James Bond movies). I’m sure his methods to capture nuclear submarines can easily be adapted to hide billionaires’ yachts...

Avi Loeb? What a pleasure to welcome you to Gizmodo!

Harry Stamper will disagree on the OP’s quip that “It’s Physics, there’s no escape”.

But I thought hispters were dead... This MacHipPro prototype may no longer have a buying audience. Maybe for purist audiophiles, but then you need to push the AirPods Max to even higher heights and make them wired, include a 5lbs+ power brick, and $500+ audio cables (a bargain compared to the essential $700 Mac Pro…

Indeed, we are probably only a few years away from Elon tweeting (Xing?) that the first X Games are about to begin, following the same format as the Squid Games, and the survivor, erm, winner, will get the first seat in a non-return trip to Mars. That is as long as they are not vaccinated, of course, as you don’t want…

Perfect precursor to a real AI-driven Thought Police to seek and arrange arrest of all responsible for thoughtcrimes as defined by the ruling regime.

I was going to say exactly that. On their own, many highways in the US are perfectly fine for driving 100 mph (though in NJ the potholes will destroy your wheels and suspension if you try), but the complete lack of lane discipline and deficient driver training (unlike in all European countries, in the US driving…

I don’t live in NYC, I had to drive over 10h to Eastern Long Island for a meeting I couldn’t miss after a flight to LGA/JFK was cancelled with no alternative given for 24h. Train or subway were not going to help at all in this situation.
