Royal Canadian Mounted Police tried to stop an unidentified motorcyclist for reckless driving when the dude ran for it, leading cops all over the city of Surrey and straight through the front door of Wal-Mart and down escalators. Oh yeah; he got away and cops still can't find him.
You can have a great adventure on any road. But if you're planning an epic trip specifically to challenge man and machine, the Pan-American Highway — 30,000 miles of road from Alaska to Argentina — isn't the way to go. Beyond a particularly impressive total length the fabled PAH really is nothing more than, well,…
Today the first work-whistle sounded on the redesigned Kansas City Assembly Plant's truck division. 900 new human and 500 new robot employees will be cranking out one specific variant of the 2015 Ford F-150, and it's not another super-lux Platinum rig.
The 2015 Mint 400 motorsport circus has raged in and around Las Vegas, Nevada all week. The actual race goes down tomorrow, and the afterparty will take festivities all the way through Sunday. Put these channels in your feed and you'll see why so many people go nuts over desert racing.
Did you miss Sweden's Speed Weekend On Ice last month? So did we, but photographer Lars Mårtensson was there and he got an absolutely incredible gallery of the ridiculous machines driving, skating, and rocket-boosting their way across this frozen lake.

The roof of my 1964 International Scout is pretty rough; massive dent where it connects to the hatch, which is rusted to hell. Thing weighs about as much as a modern car's frame anyway. Then I thought, why not replace it with something... lighter.
Will Jeep finally sell a pickup?! I mean, no... but I'm still looking forward to the seven special Jeep prototypes we'll see at the 2015 Moab Easter Jeep Safari in two weeks, especially this vaguely Chevy Avalanchey Wrangler rendition.
Here it is in all its naked glory: the next Ford Super Duty pickup truck. This is what the 2017 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 will look like. What do you think?
M35 "deuce and a half" army trucks are surprisingly easy to come by. If you can't find one rotting in some farmer's field, there are always a handful selling cheap at auctions. But I've never seen one re-imagined as beautifully as this.
