Tesla has 500,000 reservations for the Model 3, Chevy has a $35,000, 200+ mile-range electric vehicle, a number of countries in Europe have set timelines to eliminate the sale of new combustion cars, and electric vehicles may end up being cheaper to build than dead-dinosaur-sauce-burning cars. It sure seems like…

It’s always tricky to really get a good sense of a car’s value from an online auction, but sometimes there’s some hints that can really help. In the case of this 1997 BMW 318TI up for sale over at Copart, there’s a pretty good clue about the car’s value: it’s covered in money.

Back when Mercedes was using the re-animated corpse of Pablo Picasso as the head of design for the Unimog division.

Rolls-Royce is known for a lot of things, but daring technological weirdness generally isn’t one of them. That’s why it’s so surprising that they made an engine that, when described, seems like a string of the most unlikely adjectives you can link together: a Wankel with two separate rotors (but not a twin-rotor)…

Our friends over at Zelectric Motors, the company that electrifies old air-cooled Volkswagens, including Beetles, Buses, and Things, were taking their lightning bugs out to Pebble Beach when they happened to see this other electron-powered VW: the I.D. Buzz neo-Type 2 concept we saw early this year at the Detroit Auto…

We all see things while driving that cause genuine bafflement, sometimes. It may be a person driving while trailing a forgotten gas pump hose, or perhaps a person driving while playing a game of dashboard Jenga, or even someone driving one of those Nissan Murano convertible things. This one, though, spotted by a guy…

We’ve seen pictures of the disguised Jeep Wrangler Pickup before, but it’s an exciting thing, so I’m happy to show more leaked pictures of it when we get them. This picture is from inside an FCA facility, which is why I’ve obscured some of the background around the Jeep truck.

A car involved in a fatal hit-and-run in Cheektowaga, New York escaped, leaving only blurry video, a small plastic part, and frustrated police. If there’s any group of dorky gearheads that can help, it’s this group, so let’s see what we can do.

Have you ever heard one of those stories about a surgeon leaving a sponge or something inside a patient? What happened to a Jalopnik reader and 2006 Mitsubishi Evo MR owner is essentially the same idea: he opened up his engine, and found a forgotten socket inside.

Of all the insurance companies I can think of—the one with the lizard or that girl or that talking box, or whatever—there’s really only one that seems to give a damn about people’s interest in vintage cars. The company is Hagerty, and, let’s be clear, their interest is in making money by insuring classic cars. Even…

Pre-production mules are, by their very nature, strange, chimera-like beasts, made from whatever was handy with little regard to how they look. As a result, most look like crap. That’s what makes the test mule used for the Plymouth Prowler/Jeep Wrangler so special—it’s arguably the only test mule that looks better…

Possibly the most controversial design decision of the Tesla Model 3, even beyond its Renault Caravelle-like grille-less face, is its instrument panel, which consists solely of a center-mounted landscape-oriented LCD screen. This tweeted video showing how the climate-control air-direction system works is one of the…

I choose to believe that inside every junkyard or scrapyard there lives at least one Junkyard Chimera, a wonderful, mythical beast improbably crafted from parts of other cars, and now forgotten, abandoned, a confusing corpse that suggests a fascinating, if usually unknowable story. I believe I found such a Chimera at…

A reader named Matthew with a rich Australian friend sent us these pictures of a Rolls-Royce in his rich friend’s luxury apartment complex. What makes these pictures notable is the thick, creamery irony they’re saturated in, involving a protective Rolls-Royce cage, and how that cage itself proved the car’s greatest…

I happened to be at a junkyard this past weekend, doing my court-mandated community service, when I happened to notice this handsome vehicle nearby. It had a bit of body damage, so I was having some trouble identifying it. Think you can figure it out?

Hey! Who wants a grilling tip before summer’s over? This one’s great: for best results, when transporting your grill, make sure the gas is off and for the love of anything, don’t light up a freaking cigarette in a closed car with the gas on. And, yes, this happened in Florida.

There’s a lot of determination exhibited in this video. First, there’s the determination of the driver of that 2008-ish Mercedes-Benz S-Class to be a colossal dick and hit three cars and then take off running, there’s the determination of the biker to not let him get away with it, and then there’s the determination of…

The ill-fated Fisker Karma hybrid car is getting a new lease on life, of sorts, resurrected under new ownership as the Karma Revero. The Revero is fundamentally the same as the old Fisker Karma but with minor updates from some new hardware and software. But an even smaller company in the world of electric cars claims…

This charming little 1956 cartoon commissioned by the Automobile Manufacturers Association is interesting because it seems to have, at least according to some sources, lead to the development of the famous mid-century-future cartoon series the Jetsons six years later. The similarities are pretty striking, and the…

I’m pretty sure that none of our readers who drives a car with a manual transmission has ever looked down at their shifter and exclaimed “I sure wish this was a hell of a lot more complicated, needlessly!” I’m pretty sure. I can’t say the same for some Toyota engineers, who have patented an electronically-controlled…
