So you’ve got a Porsche and it happens to spew its internals all over the highway and the cost to get it fixed is a big wad of cash. Instead of selling it to someone who can use the seemingly straight body for parts or a project car, why not donate it to a group, [...]
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve featured numerous failures of rigging and pulling vehicles in numerous forms. Now it’s time to feature some lifting, but this time it doesn’t involve an automobile, but instead of a medium sized crane lifting a nice spankin’ new fiberglass in-ground pool shell. I’ve been involved with numerous crane [...]
If you lived in Changchun a city in China’s Jilin province you would be able to say that with all honesty. Except that the hole in question didn’t swallow a car, it swallowed a truck. Talk about a major infrastructure failure! A delivery truck was crossing a bridge when the deck gave way and literally [...]
The sheer lunacy of this video makes it one for the ages! Edmond Stapleton stole a traffic enforcement vehicle from police earlier in the day and he apparently decided that wasn’t enough. So he took a trip to the airport in Cork, Ireland and proceeded to car jack an SUV from airport firefighters at knifepoint. [...]
In the past we’ve seen other idiotic cases of people trying to load vehicles onto or into trucks. Well here is another case that we really can’t explain. The surveillance camera shows clearly as an otherwise simple task is taken to it’s extreme and property is damaged and destroyed. Hope they had insurance! [Jalopnik] Tweet
If this isn’t the dumbest act of human stupidity, we’re not sure what is. Luckily, it looks like only the truck was injured. [Jalopnik] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i8HVzomc3g Tweet
One thing you shouldn’t do is pay too much attention to the guy taking a whiz on the inside of a corner, while his buddy records it from across the street, or you’ll end up like this Audi driver. [AutoBlog] Tweet
Watch as it seems towing a car is a relatively uneventful, until the fact someone forgot to put the key in the ignition to keep the steering wheel from locking up comes to light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeiAWnBahlo Tweet
It’s likely that you’ve seen the crazy videos with Blendtec’s founder Tom Dickson as he feeds their high horsepowered blenders a huge array of items from iPod’s to Rubik’s Cube’s, to Spam. Watch as Tom and special guest Ken Block ask Will it Blend? with the new Traxxas Ken Block Gymkhana 3 1/16 Radio Control [...]
When the police pull you over, it’s advisable that you shut your car off and pay attention to the officers demands. Apparently that was too much for this Camaro driver, who couldn’t seemed to be bothered to just pull over and not cause a scene. But that is exactly what she did and as you’ll [...]
Sounds like the title of a soap opera, and it may as well be. Watch as a Honda Civic does a front wheel burnout which quickly turns to an inferno. Just another reason to have a fire extinguisher, or two, on hand! By the way, next time don’t try to escape and leave the door [...]
Apparently using common sense is an optional skill for some NYC Sanitation workers as they try to dislodge a gigantic front loader, that somehow got stuck during the blizzard. Obviously not having chains on the large equipment doesn’t help it get any traction, so they decided to use a large tow truck to pull it [...]
