Well, Ford’s press release for its new Transit Prisoner Transport Vehicle (Transit PTV) does just that, proclaiming: “[The] Only People Not Thrilled About Riding in All-New Ford Transit? Prisoners.” We have to imagine prisoners have a lot of […]

| Beer Run: We Test the PedalPub, a 16-Person Alcohol-Fueled Party Bike |
Sep 24th, 2014 |
|
When bored, horses often chomp down on a fence post and suck air. One theory holds that this gives them a buzz. Another holds that this is baloney. But whether or not horses get lit, horsepower certainly can. And that is the purpose of a pedal tavern. Known by a variety of names, a pedal […]

| Ferrari 458 Recalled Because It Traps People in Its Trunk |
Sep 24th, 2014 |
|
The Ferrari 458 is, as sports cars go, about as good as it gets. Unless, of course, you happen to be a person trapped in its trunk. In that case, it sucks. First, because that can’t be very comfortable. Second, because, the internal trunk release may not work, meaning that, per NHTSA, “In the event […]

|
Ford’s Special Vehicle Team has been pumping out the high-performance jams for two decades.

Congress is turning up the heat on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over car recalls.

Sep 24th, 2014 |
|
Without a doubt, the latest C63—rechristened Mercedes-AMG C63 rather than Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG—is a wonderful beast. We haven’t driven the hottest C-class Benz yet, but with the base model putting down 469 horsepower and the extra-zooty C63 S throwing down a 503-hp gauntlet, there’s no way it’s not going to be great, massive gobs of fun, […]
