Infiniti Driver Pulls Some Fancy Moves On The Cops
We have no idea what the driver of this Infiniti G37 did to get the attention of Arkansas State Police, but we do know he has some pretty good skills. In the included dashcam video, we can see a trooper who might be behind one of the fabled Scat Pack patrol vehicles gives chase. Outgunned, the guy uses the best tool he has: superior driving skills. We wouldn’t be surprised to learn he has experience running from the cops. Watch Ohio State Police use Stop Sticks on a fleeing Dodge Hellcat here. T

Did This Arkansas Trooper Go A Little Too Hard?
Arkansas State Police have quite the reputation. Some find their tactics for chasing down anyone fleeing from them, be they speeders or wanted felons, as a little too aggressive. However, other people appreciate the law and order they bring to the state. This example of a trooper running into a fleeing Chevy Camaro is probably going to be interpreted very differently by those two camps. Watch Milwaukee police chase a stolen Amazon delivery van. The reason ASP is chasing the Camaro is that the dr

Cop Shot Right After Performing PIT On Fleeing Suspects
Being a cop puts a target on your back with some of the worst elements of society. Unfortunately, one never knows which people during a routine situation will suddenly turn violent. But even when doing a risky maneuver like a PIT, the danger can escalate dramatically and things take an even more vicious turn. That’s exactly what this New Mexico trooper faced in the town of Edgewood after he pitted two suspects for alleged drug use in a gas station bathroom. Watch a trooper PIT a fleeing Nissan i

Excellent Bad Idea: Off-Roading A Polaris Slingshot
When building an off-road vehicle, two of the critical elements you want include stability and ground clearance. To be clear, the Polaris Slingshot doesn’t really offer either attribute. Sure, on smooth pavement it probably won’t tip over, but try driving one over a rock or any uneven surface and those three wheels become a huge liability. Same goes for the low-slung ride height that normally allows what’s considered in some states a motorcycle to hug turns. Learn about the dangers of overlandin
American drivers can't catch a break on car insurance rates

When Brake Checking A Cop Backfires Badly
Someone with what appears to be a new Chevy Silverado thought they could push an Arkansas trooper around. Instead, when this person leveraged the weight and size of the pickup, the trooper taught the suspect an important lesson in why you shouldn’t brake check people and also why you should just pull over when you’re caught speeding. Thieves beat up a boy and stole a family’s Porsche. The incident, which went down on August 23 at about 8:30 pm, started with the trooper clocking the Silverado goi

Weekend Beyond Cars Roundup March 16, 2024
Boeing is having a rough time of it right now, with parts falling off its planes left, right and center. Just last week, a wheel came loose and smashed through a car, and earlier this year the door from a 737 Max aircraft broke off mid-flight. That mid-air disaster sparked an audit from the Federal Aviation Administration, which has gone far from well. - Owen Bellwood Read More
Weekend Car Buying Roundup March 16, 2024
There’s a fine line between driving a sleeper and insanity. This matte black monster of a 2020 Audi RS6 Avant is more than a few toes over that line, delivering 1,100 horsepower of all-wheel drive with fire-spitting big-turbo fury. The turbos are so frickin’ big that they pop right out of the hood, and the exhaust dumps out right there in front of the passenger. The people who built this refined German longroof with secret speed into a kaiju-fighting mecha left that line behind miles ago. Some o

Angela Chao — billionaire sister of former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao and sister-in-law of Mitch McConnell — died last month when her Tesla Model X sank in a manmade pond on her 900-acre Texas ranch. She was trapped in the car as it flooded, unable to open the unpowered doors, as friends and rescue crews tried to find a way to break in. Now, a report from the Wall Street Journal claims the Tesla’s touchscreen-based shifting interface may have contributed to her getting in the water

Weekend QOTD Roundup March 16, 2024
A few weeks ago we talked about cars that looked dumb, but that doesn’t necessarily mean their owners are dummies themselves. That got me thinking: What cars are only driven by idiots? What cars are driven by the sort of people who can only breathe with their mouths wide open and their knuckles dragging on the ground? - Andy Kalmowitz Read More
