Note to self, provided that self owns a gleaming Ferrari and also has potentially disgruntled employees with access to 18-wheelers: Never piss off one of your truckers, especially if he or she has an axe to grind and several tons of machinery at their disposal. Take the experience of this trucking boss outside of Chicago

For Tony and Lucky, it’s no fun fixing up a car if you can’t give it the craziest engine. From old clunkers getting state of the art engines, to massive American v8 in …
It’s been two long months since I’ve sat in the driver’s seat of our long-term 2020 Mazda3, and unfortunately it was stuck in a body shop for almost half that time. It all started when another editor went for a drive on Angeles Crest Highway. This beloved stretch of windy road is usually a fantastic
There’s something about Fiat. The Italian brand sells tiny, distinctive cars that resonate with its fans. The cars are puppy-cute, especially in the U.S. where the roads are filled with much larger vehicles. Owners love their two-door Fiat 500s, which came in many flavors including convertibles, pure electric, and the performance Abarth, and some gravitated
In this classic Roadkill clip, Freiburger and Finnegan have hacked 900 pounds of fiberglass off an old 1985 C4 Corvette to turn it into the super-fast, racing “Vette …
Getting a docent-led tour of a museum can offer so much more insight than you might get just wandering the galleries on your own. Getting to tour a private collection led by its owner is an even more exclusive and educational experience, and that’s excactly what the Petersen Automotive Museum is offering this Sunday, May
Like any manufacturer who builds $200,000 vehicles—not to mention $2 million convertibles—Bentley pays attention to the small details. Something as simple as a badge is even made with the utmost care. No surprise, then, that the British marque is using fancy 3D electroforming to affix its badge onto the carbon-fiber side sills of certain models.
Saleen has tuned many Ford Mustangs in its day, but did you know it also turned up the heat on the Ford Explorer way before high-performance SUVs became a thing? Yep. Case in point is this big ol’ blast from the past—a 1998 Ford Explorer Saleen XP8 Supercharged that is making the rounds on Bring
When the apocalypse comes, you’ll need a vehicle that can outrun zombies, tackle difficult terrain, and keep going for the long haul. Fortunately, many of today’s trucks and SUVs were born ready for the job. These tough off-roaders have what it takes to help you survive a doomsday scenario, be it nuclear fallout, zombie mobs,
Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to electricity, having experimented with various layouts for years. There were its all-electric vehicles prior to 1900 (from a predecessor company to Daimler), hybrid gas-electric buses in the 1960s, and the vehicle range you’re looking at here: the Mercedes-Benz 190 with an experimental electric drive. All came well before today’s modern

We’ve already seen the next Acura TLX before we were supposed to. Not in the metal, mind you, but in graphical form courtesy of a leak from Acura’s own infotainment display. Now, we get another look at the new TLX, this time courtesy of the images that were included in a recent patent application. The patent
Most people probably would have forgotten all about the DeLorean if it hadn’t been converted into a time machine and co-starred in the 1985 sci-fi comedy Back to the Future. The 1980s had plenty of funky automobiles that Doc Brown and Marty McFly didn’t drive in the movie, however, and they actually were forgotten. So, here
See all 28 photos If the CAD (computer-aided design) drawing provided to TFLT proves legit, it holds other clues beyond the trucklet’s name. In the image, we can see a rather narrow, tall tailgate clearly adorned with an oval indentation in the middle—where a Ford blue oval badge would likely sit—and that “Maverick” lettering in
Editor’s Note: 60 years ago today, a CIA-operated Lockheed U-2 spy plane flown by Captain Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Sverdlovsk Oblast region of central Russia, then the U.S.S.R. Powers was attempting to fly all the way across the vast Soviet Union from Pakistan to Norway, photographing ICBM missile sites and space-vehicle
There’s only one episode left of Bitchin’ Boot Camp, and to celebrate, Dave Kindig and Kevin “KevDogg” Schiele are hosting a Watch Party! On Friday, May 1, at 3:00 p.m. (PT), join Dave and KevDogg as they relive all the action from episode 1. But wait, there’s more! They’ll be taking your questions and some
Ken Block’s latest Hoonigan vehicle is a Fox-body Ford Mustang, but it isn’t real yet. So far, the Hoonifox Mustang has only been designed for the virtual world by none other than Ash Thorp, the artist behind the new Batmobile, and he also dreamed up several awesome liveries for the box-flared, all-wheel-drive ‘Stang. Which one
The Corvette dune buggy started life as a conventional, silver fixed-roof coupe but less than a year later, it has become something unrecognizable. After the current owner purchased the coupe in 2019, the fiberglass body was removed, the front and rear frame rails were shortened, and a tube-steel cage was fabricated. The engine cover, rear
Big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs are so passé. What the world wants now are big, electric trucks and SUVs. Just look at the Tesla Cybertruck or upcoming GMC Hummer EV. Or even this beast: the AmorTruck. Designed and rendered by Milen Ivanov, the ArmorTruck looks like the lovechild of the Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy
The first time I ever drove a Subaru WRX was back in October of 2001, on the day I bought a black bugeye wagon. I started out trying to buy an Audi S4 Avant, but no one at the Audi dealer would even look at me. A month or so earlier, Automobile named the scrappy
We all know Ken Block by now. The former rally driver turned Hoonigan is responsible for some of the coolest videos to ever hit the automotive internet. His Gymkhana series shows off some incredible driving and genuine finesse from behind the wheel—but they also put some truly fantastic looking cars on display. Block has (literally)
Enthusiasm for the third-generation F-Body has waxed and waned over time. At launch, it was a remarkable performance vehicle with a newfound focus on handling; svelter, and faster than ever before. But as time went on, it became easier to get hung up on the embarrassing base trims and their pathetic Iron Duke engine, or
General Motors is officially delaying the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, although the company notes the EV pickup truck and SUV models are still scheduled to go on sale in the fall of 2021 as 2022 models. The GMC Hummer’s Super Bowl LIV commercial announced the vehicle’s premiere as May 20, but that date
MotorTrend’s Ed Loh and Justin Bell host a Q&A session with Genesis Motors America CEO Mark Del Rosso to discuss new updated features and answer all …
Big, ostentatious trucks and SUVs are back—like it or not. With General Motors resurrecting Hummer as a GMC-badged electric vehicle and Jeep reportedly dusting off the Grand Wagoneer name for its flagship SUV, the Blue Oval appears to be digging into its own archive and bringing back the Excursion from the early-to-mid 2000s. That’s if
Ford has reconfirmed there will be a new F-150 full-size pickup truck this year, one of many key vehicle launches in question during this time of pandemic when plants have stopped making cars and trucks, dealers have closed their showrooms, and consumers were told to stay home around the world. During a call with investors
If you think exceeding your local speed limits by 5 or 10 mph is living on the edge, well, you’re practically asleep compared to one Michigan driver who was just ticketed for going 110 mph over the posted limit. As reported by MLive, the driver of a 2016 Dodge was clocked by a stationary Michigan
Here’s something we never expected to see but we’re glad we did: Toyota Gazoo Racing collaborated with McDonald’s in Japan to create a bizarre commercial involving drifting, giant Big Macs, and the Toyota Supra. Why does such a partnership make any sense? We’re just as confused as you are, but the world is a strange
Imagine the perfect compromise between the stupendous, legendary Lamborghini Miura and the wild and polarizing Espada 2+2. This car features the Italian company’s robust and throaty 3.9-liter V-12, mounted up front—the final car Lamborghini with such a layout, if you ignore the LM002 SUV. Oh, and be sure to line up the peerless Marcello Gandini
