A giant hamster is roaming the streets of London to get the message out that car mechanics deal with much more than oil changes and tire rotations. As part of a promotional campaign, Kwik Fit, a chain of repair shops in the U.K., surveyed its mechanics to find out what was the strangest thing they’ve […]
Just like the Super Bowl is all about the commercials, half the fun of the Indianapolis 500 comes from the traditions surrounding the event. Maybe that’s why the event’s tagline is “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Along with the crowds, the balloons, and the trophies, another key tradition involves the winner drinking milk, and thanks […]
Just three years after launching as the Korean automaker’s large front-drive sedan, the 2017 Kia Cadenza gets a host of upgrades including revised styling. Here is a look at the changes made to the redesigned 2017 Kia Cadenza sedan. Up front, the 2017 Cadenza’s most notable change is its new mug. The edges of the […]
While most people aim for quarter-mile drag strip bragging rights, some shoot for even more impressive acceleration goals. This video show the owner of a fifth-generation Dodge Viper attempting to put down a 200-mph pass at the 1/2 Mile Shoot-Out down in Georgia.

For Ben, it’s about far more than just hard work; it’s about the reward— having time to go fishing and be outdoors. And in between focusing on crop yields and livestock, the job affords him time with his thoughts. Solitude comes with the gig. When he isn’t getting his hands dirty, motorcycle aficionado Ben hits […]
That said, certain motorcycles have limitations as commuters. Some are too powerful and uncomfortable for slow-moving traffic or neglected street surfaces. And, of course, while riding storage comes into play, and most bikes have very limited space. So if you’re going to use a motorcycle as your primary source of transportation in a city, make […]
In his book The Build, he expertly walks through the entire process, which starts way before you even set eyes on a bike, and ends just after you take your first build out for a ride. (Most likely the same moment you decide there’ll be a second build.) When it comes to building motorcycles, the […]

I register those rock walls peripherally, robotically; I register the center yellow line as a scribbled suggestion on the tight, impeccable pavement; I watch the tach needle do its insane dance […]
The problem was that its minuscule 500-vehicle production means that hardly anybody has seen an LFA in the flesh, let alone had a chance to experience what it’s all about. One can assume that the vast majority of LFA’s are sitting comfortably in a humidity-controlled garage — where they’ll remain for some time. By many […]
