There isn’t an industry consensus on EVs. Too often, we see stories from different media outlets that seem almost designed to make anyone who isn’t buying an EV and celebrating it on Twitter as some sort of weirdo. Even worse, plenty of media coverage portrays automakers as being completely on board with the Biden Administration’s plan to essentially start pushing consumers into EV adoption. That’s far from the full reality, something we feel is important to cover. Learn how traffic cameras are monitoring for modified cars here. Recently, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a lobby group that represents automakers like BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Toyota,…

This might be why UAW is so fired up. The so-called “electric revolution” so many are trying to convince us will transform the auto industry for the better keeps looking worse the closer it gets. With government-mandated deadlines of 2030, 2035, etc. it’s becoming apparent the switch to electric cars will be anything but a utopia for most. And if you believe what Ford CEO Jim Farley said recently, the EV movement will trigger a wave of layoffs, leaving many families in the financial lurch. Learn why a woman is suing a car rental service here. According to Fortune, Farley made his comments during the…

They’re lucky to have run away from this. Two teenagers in a stolen crossover they used to run from the cops in Minnesota learned about physics the hard way recently. Thanks to their lack of driving skills and scientific knowledge, they ended up driving the stolen vehicle off an overpass, landing on the side of the freeway below. See a massive street racing event held in Oklahoma here. As you can see in the video, the teens were really hot dogging it in a vehicle you’d normally see a grandma use to get groceries. They probably stole it because it was easy, but crossovers don’t make for…

It’s not enough to steal your full-size rides anymore… Car theft is so out of control these days that a man in Perry County, Pennsylvania reportedly was robbed of about 5,000 Matchbox cars recently. It’s pretty scummy to take someone’s full-size ride, whether it’s a hobby vehicle or a daily driver, but to steal a grown man’s toy cars is just lower than low. Collecting toy diecast cars is a serious business. Read more about it here. According to a local report, the theft took place sometime in 2021 but was reported on January 18, 2023. No, that’s not a typo, the owner of the…

UPDATE: NYC Police Officer Adeed Fayaz died Tuesday after spending several days in the hospital in critical condition. New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell shared the following statement on Twitter about his life and service to the city. https://twitter.com/NYPDPC/status/1623099816753479680?s=20&t=MZDqG-YY2HY10EIgkkA5Qw ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Buying a car these days can be incredibly dangerous, as evidenced by a 26-year-old NYPD officer who was off-duty getting shot in the head during a purchase. The whole thing went down about 7 pm on February 4 behind a McDonald’s in East New York. Keep your eyes open for this stolen Corvette. We don’t know the name of the officer…

You’ll never guess what the motive was… Sadly, car thieves have been preying on owners of classic cars, like a man who legitimately had his 1963 Corvette split-window stolen while attending a car show in Michigan. Then there are people who fabricate essentially the same story, only they have an ulterior motive. That’s what police say happened in Pennsylvania when Joel Treece said his ’63 split-window Corvette was stolen at the Carlisle Car Show back in April of 2022. Learn about a similar theft here. Police say Treece, who lives in Blair County, Pennsylvania, contacted Carlisle Police to report his rather valuable classic…

Does this shock you? Stolen Dodge muscle cars and Kias have been grabbing plenty of headlines over the past few years, however a theft trend in Houston is targeting full-size GMC, Chevy, and Ford trucks. That’s according to theft reports gathered by Houston police. From January 2022 to June 2022 a whopping 1,253 Silverados were reported stolen, 540 Sierras, and 315 F-150s. Check out the crash damage to the Camarostang here. “I’m telling you this from the heart, if you’ve got a GMC or Chevy truck, you’ve got to do more. You can’t just cross your fingers. We are past that,”…

Automakers don’t get their customer bases, but do they even care anymore? When we and pretty much anyone thinks of Ram trucks, we of course still think of Dodge but what also comes to mind is rugged individualism, people who work hard for a living, braving all elements, etc. That’s what’s so laughable about the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV Concept revealed at CES this year. It looks like a giant toy from the Tron movies, not a trusty workhorse. What’s more, a robot conductive Ram Charger was revealed as well, showing just how out of touch executives are with the…

Learn what this armored off-road vehicle has in common with the A-10 Warthog… Named after General Omar Bradley and developed during the Cold War, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle is still very much a key part of the United States Armed Forces. As a member of the U.S. Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Team, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle has been one of the staple vehicles for some time. Known for being relatively fast and maneuverable, it’s supposed to traverse all kinds of terrain with little to no trouble. What’s more, Bradleys were designed to go toe-to-toe with tanks on the battlefield, although…

Police are asking for the public’s help identifying the driver… Street takeovers are stupid and dangerous, something we’ve been warning about for some time. Sadly, a lot of kids go to them thinking they’re just harmless fun, but for one young woman in Los Angeles attending one of these illegal events proved to be fatal. What’s worse, the whole thing happened on Christmas Day. The victim, 24-year-old Elyzza Guajaca, was hit by a black Chevy Camaro as she was standing with a group of people on the corner of Crenshaw Boulevard and Florence Avenue. Rushed to a local hospital, she later died. Later,…
