We’ve all seen the ways we’ve ruined the world around us. Record forest fires are raging around the world, roads are melting under the heat and oceans are reaching unprecedented temperatures. It should come as no surprise, then, that nature is starting to fight back. At the forefront of this fight is the orca, which…

The new Land Cruiser was a surprising addition to Toyota’s lineup. When the previous generation left our shores, we thought we would never see it again. You could have headed to Lexus to buy the similar LX600, but you’d have to drop close to six figures to do it. This new Land Cruiser threw all that out. Here was a…

The introduction of the Next Gen car and the addition of several new road course races have brought a wider array of international talent to the NASCAR Cup Series. Three-time Supercars Champion Shane van Gisbergen has stolen most of the attention with his win on debut in Chicago, but there are a plethora of new stars…

We’ve talked a lot about how America’s garbage infrastructure is negatively impacting our lives, but we’ve never really covered the fact that all of these places for cars have been taking up valuable real estate that could be used for Hooters locations. I know what you’re thinking: “Andy, there are already 430+ Hooters

A dump truck driver hit and killed an e-bike rider in the Bonx on Wednesday, amNY reports. After reportedly knocking Mariano Leonardo Victoriano to the ground while making a right turn and running him over, the driver kept on driving, leaving Victoriano to die. He was taken to the hospital by emergency services and…

Getting pulled over is a stressful situation, no matter who you are. So it’s odd that the recreation of such a famous one — the DUI arrest of Mel Gibson in 2006 — can be so straight-up relaxing and peaceful.

Ford seems to have mounting troubles. Between quality control issues, recalls and its inability to keep up with customer demand, the company seems like it’s stretched thin. Now you can throw a class action suit into the mix. The Detroit Free Press reports that a class action suit against the automaker has been filed…

If you’re in the market for an electric bike, there are probably a few important parameters you’re considering. Things like range, price and usability are all important when dropping a few thousand bucks on a new bike. The NIU BQi-C3 Pro E-Bike is great at one of these, but it sadly struggles a little on the other two.

Being in government sounds great. You’ve got incredible power over the lives of millions of people, you can decide which companies live or die with a whim and a pen stroke, and — apparently — you have billionaires tripping over themselves to throw luxury goods at your feet like offerings to a minor god. At least, that…

The last few years have been hell on most of us, but flight attendants in particular have faced a barrage of bad behavior. Now the Federal Aviation Administration is recommending another 22 of those unruly passengers face federal charges.

After nearly two decades of hanging out on the Intrepid aircraft carrier in the Hudson River, the Concorde supersonic jet is once again on the move. Sadly, it didn’t ignite its four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines. Instead, it took a leisurely boat ride to Brooklyn where it is scheduled to get a bit of a facelift that’ll…

Tesla is under a ton of investigations mostly related to its Autopilot/Full Self-Driving Beta software. The Wall Street Journal got a hold of some footage and onboard computer logs from crashes under investigation for involving first responder vehicles. This close look at just one of the cases should give everyone in…

Regan is about to start graduate school, which will take him into the field to collect data for environmental research. However, his small sedan isn’t really ideal for these excursions or carrying all the gear. With a budget of up to $25,000, what car should he buy?

Less than a week after being suspended, Noah Gragson has parted ways with Legacy Motor Club. Gragson was initially sidelined last Saturday, the day before the NASCAR Cup Series at Michigan International Speedway. He had liked a meme on Instagram mocking the murder of George Floyd. Now, it’s not clear when or if the…

Scott McLaughlin knew the taste of success long before he ever arrived in IndyCar with Team Penske. In the Australian Supercars series, he secured three championships and 56 wins with Dick Johnson Racing, setting records along the way. His transition to the IndyCar series, though, has come with a slew of new…

Earlier this week, we reported that divers attempting to solve a cold case found 32 cars in a lake in Doral, Florida. At the time, we assumed there was probably a good reason all those cars were at the bottom of the lake, but as it turns out, there actually might have been something sketchy going on. Shocking, right?…

Good morning! It’s Wednesday, August 10, 2023, and this is The Morning Shift, your daily roundup of the top automotive headlines from around the world, in one place. Here are all the important stories you need to know today.

With Hyundai’s complete redesign of its 2024 Santa Fe midsize crossover, the automaker went for a far more boxy, rugged, and downright old-school SUV look. Overall it’s a really cohesive and fairly simple (three-box) design, but one thing has stuck out to a lot of folks, including me: the oddly low taillight…

One of the great things about cars is that they’re kind of like glorified erector sets, and if something doesn’t come from the factory the way you want it, you can swap it out for something that’s more to your taste. Modifications aren’t usually cheap, but say, if you wish your Mazda MX-5 Miata had less body roll, you…

Oliver Askew’s journey in motorsport these last few years hasn’t been easy. After a nasty crash in the 2020 Indianapolis 500, Askew withdrew from an event to pursue treatment for lingering concussion-like symptoms; later, he was dropped from the team. In 2022, he signed with Avalanche Andretti in Formula E, earned…

The internet’s favorite broken old Beemer is back — now, less broken than ever. When we last saw my BMW F800GS, it had finally been restored to its bright-blue glory, but the process came at a cost: My front-right turn signal, long hanging by a thread, finally succumbed to the engine’s vibrations and freed itself from…

It’s hard to think of a vehicle that has seen a more extreme redesign from one year to the next than the all-new Santa Fe. The soft curved lines of the previous car are gone in favor of a more traditional, SUV-like exterior. It gives the Santa Fe a much more brawny look, which is what Hyundai tells me consumers are…

These days, it’s getting harder and harder to find a good used car for less than $20,000. Before the pandemic, a little more than half of all used cars less than five years old were below that price point, but these days, it’s more like 12 percent. But this is Jalopnik. We don’t necessarily need our cars to be less…

According to its ad, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Silver Shadow has been in storage since 1993. Let’s see if the price makes it worth the effort to wake up Rip Van Rolls.
