One of the most nostalgic race cars of all time, the Maserati 8CTF claimed two victories at the Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940. Since then the car has been fantasized about by motor sport lovers across the globe, and although you may never get in the driver’s seat of the 8CTF, there is now […]

Russian police officer jumps in stranger's car to save his own life

Is this the kind of shit you have to deal with if you live in Russia? Seriously? Wild packs of feral wolves storming the highway? Didn’t they get enough karmic shit from Chernobyl and Putin, do we really need to add rabid packs of wolves to their daily struggles? I’m not entirely sure if this […]

Half bike, Half car, All useless

The Honda 3R-C Concept will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show (March 4-14), but it’s already turning heads as yet another fanciful flight of nonsense from Honda. We actually liked the P-NUT, but recognize that it will never see the light of day — as is surely the same fate for the […]

...and best way to pick up drunk Havasu co-eds!

Like the Rinspeed sQuba or Splash, or the even older Gibbs Aquada, the WaterCar is aiming to bring amphibious transportation to the masses. Like all of the above, the WaterCar will almost certainly fail. At least for all their efforts they claim to be the “world’s fastest amphibious vehicle” which could very well be true, […]
