| Red Light Runner Truck Overturns, Driver Busts Out from Windshield Posted: 30 May 2014 05:15 AM PDT  A truck flipping over on the road doesn't sound like a good ending, but given the circumstances, including the number of nearby cars and pedestrians, and the fact that no one appears to have been hurt, we'd say that this incident turned out rather well.

| Future Cars: Crystal Ball-Gazing Porsche’s Next 928 Posted: 29 May 2014 05:32 PM PDT  When you think of Porsche, images of its racing heritage, the Carrera GT and the iconic 911 usually come to mind - and of course some will think 'glorified beetle' as well. One of the German manufacturer's more forgotten models is the Porsche 928 - a response to dwindling 911 sales back in the late 1970's.

| Lexus NXC Design Study for a Slicker Looking BMW X4 Fighter Posted: 29 May 2014 04:26 PM PDT  If the past has shown us anything, it is that if one automaker makes a product that fashions a new segment or even a sub-segment and it's successful, other companies will follow suit – the original Toyota RAV4 and the BMW X6 are just two examples. Heck, automakers themselves will try to replicate their own success by using the same formula on a different size vehicle. Read more »    |

| RC Drift Action Short Film is Pure Awesomeness Posted: 29 May 2014 03:20 PM PDT  Sit back, turn up your volume and get ready to watch one of the coolest videos of the day. No, it's not about goat riders or irrational motorists, but about a team of very talented radio controlled (RC) car handlers from NitroRCX who put up quite a show at the largest event of the kind during the 2014 RCX in Costa Mesa, California, earlier this month.

| Owner Talks About Love His Affair with BMW M1 Posted: 29 May 2014 01:13 PM PDT  Few people have seen a BMW M1 (E26) in real life, but it's that kind of car that even if you haven't seen yourself, you need to be aware of and acknowledge its significance and the fact that it has an intoxicating straight-six noise that would make the new speaker-augmented M3/M4 blush in shame.
