When the red lights at a railroad crossing start to flash, you’re meant to stop. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is, at least for most motorists. However, there are some drivers that choose to risk their lives in driving across tracks even when they shouldn’t. Take this utility truck driver, for example. The following clip

Drifting is not easy and requires huge amounts of skill to get absolutely right. The owner of this particular Nissan 350Z appears to be so comfortable sliding his Japanese sports car that he can do it without even looking out of the windshield.

If you were driving a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, regardless of whether you owned the car, were loaned it by a friend, or rented it, you can bet your bottom dollar you’d like some rolling shots of it on the move with you behind the wheel. In an age of social media where ‘influencers’ are earning

The owner of this Hyundai Elantra is clearly a big fan of American cars from the 1950s and ’60s and made some bizarre modifications to the South Korean compact sedan.

Brake checking is an idiotic thing to do, but that didn’t stop one driver in Europe from harassing a semi. As you can see in this clip, the semi is driving on a two lane highway and goes to pass another truck. This only takes about 15 seconds, but it appears this was long enough

Howdy partner! Fancy yourself one of ’em Nissan trucks, derived from a regular four-door family sedan? No?

With no end in sight for the ongoing novel Coronavirus pandemic, at least from a medical perspective, one must start to wonder how long car dealerships can afford to keep their inventory idle. And that’s with only 1 in 4 Americans under ‘shelter in place’ orders right now. Can you imagine what will happen if

For most drivers, differentiating between the brake and accelerator pedals isn’t particularly difficult. The brake is on the left and the throttle is on the right. Despite this, crashes triggered by drivers getting the two confused are all too common and this dashcam video shows such a crash recently happening in the U.S. This clip,

The Chrysler PT Cruiser is far from a pretty face, yet the automaker managed to sell nearly 1.35 million units by the time production wrapped up in July 2010. If you ask me, that’s 1.35 million too many, but I could be wrong. Designed by a man named Bryan Nesbitt who was also responsible for

The owner of a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in Miami, Florida has just had their car equipped with a set of aftermarket Vossen wheels from the HF-5 series.

Lexus and drag racing go together like oil and water, but throwing an RX into the mix makes things even crazier. However, that’s exactly what happened in Florida last weekend as teens were caught having an illegal drag race on a residential street. Recorded by a homeowner’s security camera, the clip begins rather innocuously as

We’ve heard of aggressive marketing, but spamming people with “Trade-In Your Tesla” flyers seems like a whole new level of redundancy if what you’re offering in exchange isn’t fully electric. At best, all Lexus can offer eco-conscious buyers are hybrid versions of their popular models, such as the UX, NX, RX, ES, LS and LC,

If you’re anything like us, you’re on edge every time you drive near a logging truck, fearing what could happen if those logs break free and slam down onto the road. Over in Russia recently, this is exactly what happened and the whole thing was caught on film. As reported by Russia’s RT, the whole

Do you know those racing car-inspired beds you can buy for children? Well, this modified C5 Chevrolet Corvette looks just like one of them but the sad thing is that this isn’t a bed. It’s a real Corvette that someone actually drives. This image of the questionably-modified Corvette was recently shared on Reddit and unsurprisingly,

Police in the suburb of West Heidelberg in Victoria, Australia made a rather unusual traffic stop late last month after spotting a dog driving an electric Mercedes-Benz toy car (or rather SUV) along the sidewalk.

Automotive photographer George Williams takes us for a tour inside what could have been the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, where workers are currently dismantling stands and transport vehicles originally scheduled to celebrate their premieres.

A truck hauling a massive dump trailer was involved in a bizarre accident on Wednesday night, February 26, after hitting a freeway overpass in northwest Indiana.
