  • 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

    Cut-and-Shoot, Texas. A name like that just screams "Lone Star State." And if you don't pay attention to your speed while traveling through Cut-and-Shoot--and especially if you don't pay attention to a blacked-out Camaro with a Transformers logo on the hood--you might be screaming about a speeding fine. You see, the local police force has turned this Camaro into a patrol car, complete with black-on-black graphics and clear strobe lights. So, leadfoots, be on the lookout for this car. This Camaro doesn't belong to a Transformers fan-boy, it belongs to the local law. [Jalopnik]

    Today, 3D Printed Nylon Bikes... Tomorrow, Nylon Cars?

    3D printing isn't one of those technologies that we might see, some indeterminate time in the future.

    2011 Aston Martin Vantage S: First Drive

    The Geneva Motor Show is over, but the craptastic weather's following the whiny, overly privileged herd of automotive journos stampeding south for assorted first drives.

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 carbon fiber monocoque

    Carbon fiber is enjoying something of a birthday this year. With the release of the 2011 McLaren MP4-12C supercar, McLaren celebrates thirty years since they developed the first carbon fiber monocoque chassis, used in their 1981 Formula 1 racing car. They were then the first to develop a carbon monocoque in a road car too, with 1992's McLaren F1 road car, still regarded by many as the greatest supercar ever. Now, with the MP4-12C, they're bringing carbon monocoque technology to a new price point. Of course, we've seen carbon fiber used in other ways since its first use in racing. The cost...

But make no mistake: this Boss is in the driver's seat, too. Not you. The 2012 Mustang...
