OrganOx Oxford UniversityThis could double the amount of livers available for transplant and save thousands of lives. Livers for everyone! A new machine can keep human livers warm and functioning outside the body for 24 hours before successfully transplanting them, a team of Oxford scientists announced last week. The breakthrough could double the number of livers available for transplant. Livers are normally kept on ice to slow down their metabolism, a risky process that only buys doctors about 14 hours…

Lost/Found Red-Footed Tortoise The Telegraph The Almeidas’ story starts out a lot like the usual pet-disappearance saga: Someone left the front door open, and Manuela, the family tortoise, went missing. We can probably guess what happened next: a long, fruitless search, tears shed, possible fates guessed at, implausible but comforting legends born and clung to and perhaps retold for decades… But that’s not where this tortoise’s story ends. According to The Telegraph, this tortoise has been found, after…

True, Russian dashboard cameras have afforded us hundreds and hundreds of spine-tingling accidents over the years, but we cannot honestly remember any as shocking as this one, and at the same time, ending on a happy note. Once again, the protagonist in this scene is driving a classic Lada / VAZ 2101 saloon. We're not sure if the driver attempted a foolish overtake of if he was trying to avoid something on the road, but he drove between two busses in his lane and lost control of the RWD sedan crash…

Yesterday we talked about the sordid past of the Renault Alpine and touched on how it has twisted and teased the automotive world since 2008. I closed the article with a small hope and a prayer that we would see something, anything, and spark the interest of car lovers everywhere.
Well, today Renault announced that, yes, there is an Alpine concept car, and yes, it will be at the Paris Auto Show! They have also decided to tweak us a bit more with a pseudo related teaser image and an extremely short teaser…

With the introduction of the all-new CX-5 – a model that's only slightly smaller but far more fuel-efficient – the Mazda CX-7 is being phased out in the U.S. at the end of the 2012 model year. Mazda Canada still believes there are enough buyers for both, though, and so it will continue in showrooms up here. Read my impressions at Sympatico Autos by clicking here.

A male driver of a rental Chevrolet Cruze was involved in what can only be described as a nightmare scenario for any road user when an 18-wheeler truck loaded with cardboard boxes flipped on its side and landed on top of the compact sedan. The accident took place in the northbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway in Texas in the late morning hours of Thursday. The large rig also knocked over the concrete center barrier and hit another vehicle, a black Volkswagen Touareg, hurling it over the median and…

A Saab changed Bud Clark’s life in 1961 when, as a senior at a trade school in Springfield, Massachusetts, he started an apprenticeship in a Saab/Volvo/Studebaker dealership. Clark recalls: “I didn’t like the Saabs. They were ugly, they smoked, and the doors opened the wrong way. The boss sensed that, plunked me in a 1959 customer car, and took me for a ride. Scared the hell out of me; I didn’t know a car could do that around corners—I…
