Southern Discomfort 24 Hours of LeMons Day 1: Cessna Road Racer Doing Well, Some Other Stuff Happened

Not so! As you can see in the above photograph of the Spirit of LeMons dueling with the C…

Fabergé Eggs of the Road: Bugatti Shows Off Three One-Off Veyrons [2013 Geneva Auto Show]

If Ettore Bugatti and Peter Carl Fabergé could travel through time for a collaboration, it’s not inconceivable that any end product of their labors would bear remarkable resemblance to the three Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport roadsters just introduced at the 2013 Geneva auto show.

This time, however, treatments such as fine enameled porcelain and others seen on various Veyron specials have been eschewed in favor of carbon fiber—lots of it. The one-of-a-kind 2013 Bugatti Veyrons, each with a price …

Watch Real Life Mad Max Terrorize an Australian Driver During an Extreme Road Rage Incident

With all the incidents filmed on Russian roads, (you can head over to Jalopnik for some of the best dashcam clips of 2012 – we're preparing our own list, too), we rarely say this about a road rage incident, but WOW. There's road rage, there's psychotic and then there's "this windshield ain't going to stop me punching your face" kind of rage, which makes Mad Max and Toecutter look like Care Bears… We only get to hear and watch one side of the story in this incident as t…

Factory to Dealer–By Road

In the first installment of our series on how cars get from the assembly line to the showroom, we looked at rail transportation. While not all new cars are shipped by rail, they all end up on a truck at least once on the journey.

The use of trucks to haul automobiles probably developed pretty early on. Even though intercity shipping was done by rail, you still had to get the merchandise from the freight terminal to the showroom–very few (if any) car dealers had their own rail sidings!

Edmunds Road Tests A 1987 Buick Regal Grand National: Video

Ever get nostalgic for the good old days, when gas was (relatively) cheap and you didn’t need to get to the airport hours ahead of your flight to clear security? While life was (arguably) easier in the decades before the internet, email, tweeting and texting, options for performance cars pale by today’s standards.
In the mid to late 1980s, one of the fastest cars produced in America came from Buick, and it didn’t even have a V-8 stuffed under the hood. Instead, Buick’s Regal Grand National…
