photo by Flickr user SashaFatCat April Fool's Day is here--and exactly what have you done to screw with your friends' heads? Nothing? Lame. It's pretty easy to use your car as a tool of mental mayhem--but you've got to be good about it. Moving their car to a different space? Amateur hour. Moving...

John Lennon might not have envisioned this scenario when he wrote Instant Karma! but the rule still applies: this guy subjected the public to a show no one should have to watch while stuck in traffic, and quickly paid the karmic price. Karma didn't knock him right in the head, but it did knock him...

Not much to say about this one. Roush has posted two videos of the upcoming 2012 RS3 attacking the track, and we have them below. Roush didn't provide any lap times or further information, but that's OK. Spending some time watching the RS3 lap Laguna Seca--no matter how brief that time is--is a...

This unnamed driver put drag radials on an otherwise stock Boss, and came up with a time of 11.72...

So just how fast is the 2012 Mustang Boss 302? Very fast, for a production muscle car priced around $41,000. In fact, if you slap a set of drag radials on the car you can break into the 11s in the quarter mile and trap north of 117 mph. This video shows a new owner--window sticker still apparently...

We may not have liked the flavor of Corvette's latest commercial touting its production-car superiority in relation to its American Le Mans Series racing rivals, but that's no reason to hold it against the excellent Corvette Racing team. This video takes inside their run at one of the greatest...

Here’s a clear example of what not to do when your luxury SUV gets stuck in the mud. After refusing the help of a truck driver whose vehicle can clearly tread through the mud safely, the driver of this modified Porsche Cayenne proceeded to floor the throttle in vain hope that his luxury SUV...

Today, the team behind the James Glickenhaus Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5 Competizione posted a video of...

The first event in the new Global RallyCross Championship (GRC) was held this weekend at Irwindale Speedway in California.

The name Samuel Hubinette is synonymous with drifting, his personal drift team, Samuel Hubinette Racing (SHR), having sent all manner of high-powered vehicles sideways including Dodge Challengers and Vipers and even a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV. We’re now less than a fortnight out from...

Though it will go on sale later this year to replace the 612 Scaglietti, the Ferrari FF is not available to the well-heeled buyer just yet. But that certainly hasn't stopped Ferrari from filming all kinds of footage of its first four-wheel-drive vehicle. We've already seen a handful of videos of...

Remember the British journalist that managed to damage Ferrari’s brand new baby, the hate-it-or-love-it FF supercar? If not, here is our original post. Well, today we have an image of the resultant damage, which on the surface only appears to be a dented wheel. Similar damage also appears on...

There’s a reason why incredibly fast cars have an assortment of strangely styled aerodynamic components stuck to their bodies--to keep them glued to the ground. Travelling at similar speeds to aircraft taking off, cars too can have trouble staying on the ground, which is exactly what happened...
