If you’re like us, you have at least a little collection of beloved Hot Wheels cars on display at home or in your office. While they’re great to look at, that’s probably about all you do with them. But a company has developed a way for adult gearheads to play with their toys: a small wind tunnel. This guy’s Hot Wheels collection is worth millions. Also fitting on your desktop, the Fun-Tech lab wind tunnel, called Windsible, allows you to observe the aerodynamics of your favorite small cars. The

This super skinny Fiat Panda build is only about as wide as one of the front headlight assemblies, so it turns a lot of heads. After all, when have you ever seen such a narrow car in your life? The builder used some rather creative yet simple designs to pull this build off, including making it drivable. Check out this Nigerian-built sportscar. We don’t think you’d want to take this car into traffic since that would be tempting fate in serious ways. But the guy did find a way to power the Fiat ev

We’ve all seen the same potholes where we live form, get filled in by the government, then reappear months later. Sometimes the damage gets bigger and deeper, constituting a hazard in the road which can bend wheel rims, wreck suspension components, and be a headache for drivers. Man invents a car that can fly over pothole and traffic. While it’s easy to just expect road crews, engineers, and governments to eradicate the problem, the fact is there are good reasons why potholes keep coming back in

The debate about the benefits and drawbacks of diesel vs gasoline cars has been going on for a long time. But a YouTuber decided he wanted to make things even more interesting, testing out a small diesel powertrain on his car versus the native gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain to see which is more efficient. Cars just keep getting more expensive. We love crazy experiments like this, so naturally this hooked us from the get-go. The car in question is an old Honda Insight. It’s the hybrid hatchb

The debate about the benefits and drawbacks of diesel vs gasoline cars has been going on for a long time, but one man tries to solve it.

Coming across a stash of classic American muscle cars would be enough to make anyone overflow with joy. That’s what a YouTuber has discovered and he’s sharing the find with the world via the internet. Tucked away in the woods, the collection has been largely kept out of the public’s view for some time. Check out even more of the classic muscle cars in this junkyard. But the owner of the old junkyard, which hasn’t been open for some time, is in need of unloading what’s left. The lot where he has

Many Mopar faithful aren’t familiar with the Dodge Firebomb concept, even though they know the Firearrows, to which the Firebomb is a successor. It’s also, as you can clearly see, a drop-dead gorgeous car, thanks to Italian design, that’s packing a Hemi under the curvaceous hood. These Ford Mustang concepts are anything but gorgeous. Amazingly, it wasn’t forces inside Dodge that created the Firebomb but instead the driving entity was one Eugene “Gene” Casaroll. He owned a car shipping company ba

By now, as a gearhead you know the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack is no pushover, but it might have finally met its match. After all, the Suzuki Hayabusa is a bit of a quarter mile legend itself, but when you add a supercharger for a little forced induction assistance, it becomes absolutely monstrous. Building a Hayabusa-powered go-kart is an excellent bad idea. The Swedish hypercar and tweaked Japanese sport bike icon faced off against each other in a recent drag race. Unfortunately, it wasn’t at a tr

Without viewing the photos included with this story, we can bet most people would draw a blank if we asked them to envision Porsche’s Sepia Brown paint color. It’s not exactly the most sought-after color in the automaker’s pallet, not like Speed Yellow or Guards Red, but one man is absolutely in love with the hue. This Porsche 911 is so dark, it sucks in the light around it. A Porsche collector and former racecar driver named Richard Raimist, who resides in Jupiter, Florida, has three rides in S

The Mercedes SLK is an often misunderstood car which changed the trajectory of the German automaker for the better. Some see it as just a silly, dumbed-down version of the SL, but it helped shape the brand in the 1990s and take it in a bold new direction. Read our guide to the best automotive photography accessories you can you get on Amazon here. Back in the spring of 1996 Mercedes decided to make a bold statement with the reveal of the SLK, showing it off in the ultra-bright Yellowstone paint.
