Self-driving cars are still outside the reach of ordinary people, but self-driving buses are out prowling the streets of some of the world’s major cities, such as, uh, Helsinki. But holy ghost of Henry Ford are these things slow.

Car companies have to try just as hard to sell a Cavalier as a Porsche Carrera. Harder, probably. What’s the most over-the-top, blown out, high production, too-good-for-its-own-good ad for the most undeserving car?

Thanks to the excellence of the nostalgic Instagram account 70sStreetMachines, I can point out one of the greatest trends in car culture: back in the ‘70s, just about every custom car got its own lettered name.

What’s the difference between a professional drift Scion FR-S and a professional rally Subaru BRZ? It’s simple: one does jumps!

A few days ago in 1956, construction began on what became the starting point of modern America: the Interstate Highway System.

New York City might hate cars, but car owners persevere and do indeed keep cool rides out on the street. Let’s go find some!

This is an unrestored, 46-year-old Mercedes 350 SL. I would say that it looks as good as a brand new car today, but that’s not quite right. This car looks better.

Zoom! Whoosh! Yowza! We all like driving with vigor and intensity but now, man, I’m starting to think that there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing. Speed, that is.

“That’s right!” said Ford CEO Mark Fields, almost to himself. He’d just announced that Ford would offer a fully-autonomous car by 2021. The crowd seemed less than enthused. “Woo,” Fields added.

How does one test the strength of a nuclear waste shipping container, exactly? It’s simple: crash a rocket truck into a wall at 84 miles per hour. That or drive a train into it.

The idea of all the security we put up with at airports—the lines, the scanners, the bullshit—is so that when there’s an attack, we’ll all be orderly protected. On Sunday night at JFK Airport, we found out how wrong that is. Cheering for Usain Bolt at the Olympics appears to have been mistaken for gunfire and complete…

Watch as this squad car chases after a red light runner and ends up crashed and flipped onto its roof before even crossing the intersection. Thankfully everyone made it out of this wreck with minor injuries but, just, wow.

Today we saw the first trailer for Hidden Figures, the film about the black women who were so instrumental in America’s space program, and you should read more about these unbelievably righteous women and the
“human computer” project that started it all.

It’s fair to say that the bro-ness of this highway traveller casually telling a fellow road-user that “shit is on fire, dude,” deserves our attention.

Hack some rusty cool car out of an overgrown junkyard, then affix all the cool body stuff to a somewhat usable frame. It’s a dream I’ve always wanted to follow and it’s exactly what Roadkill did with what might be the world’s worst Buick and an also-horrible ‘70s Corvette.

It had somehow narrowed down to hours, how I was measuring time. It wasn’t a question of days or weeks anymore. I was doing hour and mile calculations to see if I’d make it back in New York by the time I needed to be back for work. And stuck on the side of the road again, New Mexico heat all around, it felt like I’d…

We all have a particular car that we like and enjoy! I, for instance, like the Maserati Khamsin. What about you?

There are many different kinds of cars and many different kinds of driving. For each of these modes, there is a safe, obvious, reliable choice of vehicle. These are the Toyota Camrys (Camries?) of the car world, and I think I can pinpoint them all.

Do I need an orange-over-black Hakosuka Skyline GT-R in my life? No. Very technically, I can survive without it. A sad, hollow survival, but survival nonetheless.

Cars today: too big, too heavy. Ugh oof strain cramp ugh.
