We always hate to see our cars go. Whether it was involved in a wreck, giving it away/trading it in, or in some cases have to sell it back because of financial problems. James May, one of the three gentlemanly idiots in The Grand Tour trio, was just forced to sell his 1972 Rolls Royce Corniche. […] More
Get a dashcam. Seriously. Stop what you’re doing and just go buy one. In the case of this Subaru BRZ driver, he happened to be recording while a Toyota Camry sideswiped him on the highway. It looked like a completely innocent accident: The Camry was signaling and Shifting Lanes (Hiyooo!), while the BRZ was in it’s blindspot […] More
When Project Cars was released into the world, many racing fans had thought they finally got the game they’ve always been wanting.

No, Lamborghini does not make ads. All of our collective open-mouth gawk and social media car-spotting posts, whenever one passes by or sits still, have a much more potent effect than any 30-60 second ad will ever do. So before you ask whether this is real or not, it’s totally fake. But the production quality, the storyline, […] More
Safety devices such as airbags have come a long way since they were first introduced into cars. We first saw the airbag in a, what else, Mercedes S-Class back in 1981.

Special edition performance BMWs are hit or miss. Today they can’t keep these cars in stock but in 1995 BMW had a different problem. Their special edition E36 M3 known as the Light Weight was not selling. Dealers couldn’t give away these cars away, and it wasn’t until huge incentives were offered that BMW was able […] More
Twitter is a really strange and odd place. Telling someone to have intelligent thoughts in 140 characters or less is an almost impossible ask. It’s why Twitter is where you go for the best snark around. It’s the one-liner capital for all of humanity. I tweet (@GregsonMathe), Shifting Lanes tweets (@ShiftingLanes), and my three colleagues […] More

Formula 1 is a bit of a fickle racing series. It seems that opinions and steps forward sometimes do not get universally put through, even if it’s for the greater good.

It’s that time of the year where companies spend millions of dollars per year for a 30 second slice of airtime. Where many millions of football and sports fans glue their eyes on an ever increasingly giant screen, while stuffing their faces with delicious nachos, sauced by leftover buffalo wing sauce from their fingertips. God […] More
When you think of gear heads, or petrol heads, who do you think of? Your friends maybe? Possibly your dad who may have taught you to love cars? Maybe you think of mechanics who relentlessly tweak everything that rolls into their shop? You should also consider celebrities. Cool cars and celebrities are pretty much synonymous […] More
Marketing to consumers is a very difficult task. You have to find the right balance of approachable/smart/but not too smart/relate-able. The ask is tremendous because people are so different. You can’t market a shoe the same way to men or women, kids or adults. Everyone’s tastes and styles are different. And they should be because […] More
The Vantage V550 doesn’t fit in with Aston Martin’s classy brand image of today. Based on the Virage, this engineering experiment was meant to send Aston Martin into the modern age. But due to its outdated chassis, the Vantage V550 lacked the finesse of competitors so, Aston’s solution was horsepower, a lot of horsepower. Although […] More
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s why Rat Rods like this exists. They’re built to be driven and not to be shown.

Someone please give this guy a lot of views so he can make a lot more of these parodies. The “Real People.

Alfa Romeo has returned to the US market in a big way. In a crazy and quite frankly awesome first move, they brought the 4C across the pond.

Sales can be a tough gig, and selling something that no one really wants can be even tougher.

Nameplate revivals can be a tough call for automakers. The business decision to bring a name back suggests the original was great enough to make people want to buy the new one.

If you’re into cars or anything that moves fast on a roadway, you likely know one thing that hold greater weight than anything else: driver skill is paramount to everything. I believe it.

There are thousands of fuel and air combustion cycles per minute in your engine. That chemical reaction combined with copious amounts of friction make your engine a massive heat generator. Therefore, to keep it cool a radiator (a heat exchanger), filled with coolant, is used to transfer the heat away from the engine and into the environment. […] More
In 1991 Dodge built the quickest sedan on sale in America. It wasn’t powered by a massive V8 and it didn’t even look fast.

The debate between Built VS. Bought has gone on for a long time between enthusiasts.

I live in New Jersey. If you’ve ever driven in New Jersey you know that our roads are under a constant state of construction. Whether it’s on the highway or on back roads, there’s always something being fixed. Mainly, it’s due to the drastic seasonal weather changes here. Our climate can go from -15 degrees […] More
We don’t typically chuckle at motorcycle crashes as they don’t typically end well. But we ended up spitting out whatever was in our mouths this morning when we saw this motorcycle accident captured on a dash cam. Basically, the driver of the Acura TSX was going at a very fast velocity before quickly slamming on the brakes. […] More
When you are ready to put down big bets on a drag race, you better know what you’re up against.

Let’s face it, you’ve always wondered what your engine looks like when it’s warming up. Any season, any time, we probably have never taken the time to set up a thermal camera and see exactly what happens when we start our cars. There’s also the fact that none of us likely have access to or […] More
Hennessey has been building the Venom GT since 2010, but that run has now officially ended. The Final Edition of the fastest, and arguably most controversial, supercar of this generation has been produced. It has already been sold too.

Almost all car commercials suck. There’s a few that’s worthy of your 30 seconds of life, but there’s a high chance that the one you’re watching is a company’s lame attempt at capturing that “feeling” of driving said car.
