In this video, Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson tests the Tesla Model X. Here, he accuses Tesla of lying about the actual amount of miles that the electric car runs on per each charge.

We've known for decades that it's a bad idea to leave pets in hot vehicles. Just check out this retro PSA from the Humane Society:
Some groups use humor to try to get the point across, but the message is the same: don't do it!
If you still think it's okay to leave them alone "just for a few minutes", take a look at h [...more]
Ice and snow means skids and accidents. If you're really unlucky, your truck (or car) could fall through the ice into a stream, pond, lake or river. If you ever need to pull your truck out of an icy waterway, here's what NOT to do (NSFW: language):

The feat was a promotion featuring one of the 2013 race cars from the Lotus Formula One team in conjunction EMC, the team's sponsor. The semi was a Renault, who just happens to provide the engines for the Lotus team.
But enough about what, just sit back and watch [...more]

Flying cars have been the dream of children for over a hundred years. Science fiction has been promising them in books, short stories and movies for at least that long. Today the skies are not filled with cars zooming overhead, but there are some taking to the skies.
