  • 97-year-old rides in Tesla Model S

    It would take thousands of words to describe what has changed in the automotive industry over the past 97 years, but this video may do some of the work for us. YouTuber Zev Gitalis recently introduced his 97-year-old grandfather to his Tesla Model S and it proved to be a semi comical and eye-opening experience for the elderly gentleman. As you can see in the video, it takes a little bit of explaining to help him understand the car is powered solely by a battery. In fact, he is shocked to learn it can go hundreds of kilometers—the video was shot in Canada—before needing to be...

  • BMW i8 painted by Rene Turrek and inspired by Joker and the Suicide Squad
    "Suicide Squad"-inspired BMW i8 is a wild piece of automotive art

    The film itself, for some, was a bit of a letdown. There's no denying, however, that Jared Leto's interpretation of Batman's preeminent foe in "Suicide Squad" was quite over the top. He reportedly fell rather deeply down a rabbit hole with his portrayal of The Joker, which is surprising given the...

Never fear, Vin Diesel is here to announce "Fast and Furious Live" and promise incredible stunts and "extreme action" will ensue. Diesel took to Facebook Live to announce the new project, but only in name. It's unclear what exactly will take place during "Fast and Furious Live" and if other stars of the film series will be involved. Diesel said he's shooting the show now in New York, but said the global tour would likely kick off at the 02 Arena in London, England. Speaking of England, another England-based...

  • Jay Leno learns about the 1947 Marchese Special

    Midget racing got its start back in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The cars were small, the tracks were tight circles, and the action was dangerous. It featured a handful of racers ripping through dirt corners in lightweight, powerful machines with little protection, wearing little more than a steely gaze. One of these old machines recently paid a visit to Jay Leno's Garage, so Jay could learn more about the car and the guys who raced it. It's called a 1947 Marchese Special. That name is taken from the last names of the group who maintained, built, and raced the car. One of the drivers was...
