Fun Stuff

We already know Chris Harris is a pretty fun guy to ride along with, even if he did swap his Porshce 911 GT3 RS 4.0 for a Ferrari 599, but what about AMG's famed Hammer? Does it live up to the legend? We won't spoil the answer for you, but in this short video, you'll get to see what opposite lock...

Okay, let us be the first to admit that this isn't exactly the most even playing field between the Corvette and the Gnarboard electric skateboard. It's highly unscientific, and a convertible, apparently automatic C5 Corvette isn't the best representative of its genre. Nor is a roughly 60-foot drag...

Chris Harris is famous on the automotive web for many things, not least of which is his long-running antagonism of Ferrari. Despite his leanings, however, he has recently joined the Prancing Horse herd, selling his Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 to buy a Ferrari 599. That previous sentence is verifiable...

To be completely honest, we don't really care that Volvo is launching a new line of freight-hauling trucks, or that they're called FH. What we care about is this crazy, awesome woman named Faith Dickey. An extreme slackliner, highliner, and longliner, Dickey is the world record holder for the...

The open-source minds behind the Local Motors Rally Fighter have joined forces with Domino's pizza to conceive the Ultimate Delivery Vehicle. And you (or people like you) are the brains that will imagine it. Domino's is "reinventing the way pizza is delivered, and [they] want your help," according...

The team at Hennessey Performance never let us down when it comes to high-horsepower fun. Here, we see what a Lamborghini Aventador eats for a light snack: A Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. Played out over the course of a one-mile drag race, but over and finished before more than a few hundred feet...

The second episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is out, and while it's as funny and offbeat as the first episode with Larry David, the most interesting aspect of the new episode is Ricky Gervais' obvious fear and discomfort in the passenger seat of a 1967 Austin-Healey 3000...

The Bloodhound SSC is fairly mental all on its own: basically, a jet without wings intended to skim the surface of a salt lake bed. The driver, accordingly, is slightly more mental--especially since he plans to take it to about 1,000 mph. That man is Andy Green, shown here racing with Chris Harris...

Those of us who have spent more than our fair share of time above the posted speed limits are fond of a sobering, self-limiting saying: You can't outrun radios. Perhaps that's the thought that went through this Bugatti Veyron driver's mind as he was being pulled over by a policeman on a bicycle...

Those of us that love cars often see the art in their designs, in driving them, in the sounds of their engines, even in their construction--but it's not often we see them made into the tools of art, or music, to be exact. But that's exactly what Jordan Hill calls Motor Rhythms. Hill terms his Motor...

We're not entirely sure what's going on here (though we have a pretty good idea), but it's somewhere between bizarre and amazing. Human reproductions of car sounds typically focus on the basics, perhaps with a little embellishment: four-cylinder cars, a turbo spooling, and, of course, the chitter...

Racing is serious business, and the crews that train for the furious action required at pit stops, like the Telmex-sponsored Chip Ganassi Racing crew shown here bowling over a privileged spectator during a driver and tire change practice run at the Brickyard Grand Prix last weekend. The coordinated...

When you think of classic cars and the Monterey Peninsula, it's only natural to think of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance--it is, after all, one of the premier classic car concours in the world. If you're a privileged enthusiast, you might even think of gatherings like The Quail, or the...

If you're familiar with Top Gear USA, rallycross, Hot Wheels stunts, or half a dozen other moderately hare-brained activities requiring consummate driving skill, you're probably familiar with Tanner Foust. Now you can watch his new show, "Life in the Foust Lane." Built around Foust's rather hectic...

While this might not be your ideal of the American shooting brake, it's certainly one take on the concept. For those of us living in the mid-south, it's probably the closest thing to perfection since a 1967 Mustang mounted on a lifted F-150 pickup frame. Sure, it's highly impractical with most of...

Many of us have a soft spot for certain kinds of cars that most people would call "crappy piles of junk." But very, very few of us have the enthusiasm for the subject of the U.K.'s Brendan Joyce. Joyce, a 57-year-old accountant for hospital support charity Above and Beyond, spent 17 years and over...

Designing an F1 car might seem, in some respects, kind of simple: read the rule book, build to fit, bam!, race car. Of course, there's the picky bit about setup, tuning, power, and aerodynamics, but the core of the car--the things that make it all work together--should be pretty straightforward...

Warning: This video contains some NSFW language. Contrary to popular belief in some circles, there's a lot of skill involved in drag racing, but in your typical street car, most of it is compressed into the first second or two, with little left to do but point it straight and, if necessary, shift...

The Lexus LFA may be highly exclusive and priced into the stratosphere, but Lexus apparently has enough to spare three to go drifting to a medley of orchestral music.

We've all done it. You buy a new driving game, then win a few races, drive a few of the cars on a few of the circuits, and play around with a few settings. Then, you pick a car, pick a track and spend an entire race crashing into other cars, walls and anything else you can find to revel in the...
