Cars

Would you drive a car made out of paper? Brooklyn artist Jonathan Brand has combined his artistic talent with his love of cars to build a car entirely out of folded paper right down to the spark plugs.

This little PSA starts out earnestly enough, warning of the dangers of driving too fast and how slowing down even a little can increase the time needed to stop a car -- and possibly avoid hitting a pedestrian.

In this incredible amateur video which was shown on 'Today,' a group of heroic bystanders in Logan, Utah approached the wreckage of a car crash and lifted a burning, 4,000-pound BMW off the motorcyclist who was trapped underneath.

Let this video of a motorcyclist crashing at top speed into a passing truck be a lesson to all drivers: Motorcycles are dangerous, riders should always wear a helmet and Ryan Gosling probably won't be around to smooth things over when the two drivers meet. Despite the severity of the crash (which shatters the motorcycle in question), its rider miraculously gets up and walks it off.

It's bad enough that bears have been known to attack random hikers. Now the animals seem to have graduated to grand theft auto. According to MSNBC, a bear gained entrance to a parked Toyota Prius in Lake Tahoe, California. Once inside the car, the animal destroyed the interior, then rolled down a steep 25-foot driveway after accidentally putting the car into neutral.

A turbine-powered Batmobile replica manufactured by Pusch Racing Designs can be yours for $620,000. Owner Casey Pusch posted the car on eBay, but thus far, we suspect the listing has attracted more bloggers and comic fans than serious buyers.

Researchers at MIT and Princeton have developed a smartphone app called SignalGuru that will tell drivers exactly how much time they have to make the next light.

Dogs are no strangers to chilling out but chilling out in the passenger seat of a van while cruising down the California freeway, paw hanging out the window as the wind blows through your fur? That's a whole different story. This Siberian Husky definitely knows a thing or two about easy riding. Good thing these two dudes caught it on film.

When police pulled over Arthur Lee Thompson, he immediately denied doing anything wrong. But he sure was about to. The 38-year-old Summerville, South Carolina man begin to fight with the officer, and in the confusion, Thompson managed to jump into the cop's unoccupied cruiser, and take it on a terrifying 100 mph-plus joyride right down the middle of a busy two-lane road. And the whole incident? Ca

The 5.8 earthquake that struck yesterday gave folks all over the middle part of the East Coast something to breathlessly discuss. Yet, no one seems to have been seriously injured in the shake. In other words, BEST EARTHQUAKE EVER! In Chantilly, Virginia, which is not too far from the quake's epicenter, an auto shop was shooting a commercial when the ground went wobbly. Here is the footage from the

A security camera caught a horrific crash on tape in Texas as an SUV careened into a gas station and nearly struck two men, reports 'The Early Show.'

A Georgia man was aware that his pickup truck had no functional brakes when he took it for  a drive Wednesday afternoon. But the 24-year-old was under the mistaken -- and likely Saturday morning cartoon-influenced -- impression he could just stop the vehicle by sticking his foot out the door and dragging it across the pavement, Fred Flinstone-style.

A Department of Sanitation truck somehow managed to smash halfway through the wall of a third story parking garage in Queens, New York Wednesday morning, leaving both the vehicle and the driver dangling perilously in the air.

While a typical car stereo produces about 100 watts of sound this sound system can belt out up to 40,000. As you can see from the video below, that type of wattage makes for a hair-raising experience when the bass gets heavy. Our sympathies to anyone who hitches a ride with a fellow who's installed this supercharged monster in his car.

Many of the world records that the folks at Guinness dole out recognize skills that are otherwise pretty useless. (For example, the ability to wear a lot of t-shirts at once.) Conversely, the Guinness World Record for the tightest parallel park actually celebrates a pretty practical talent. Anyone who's had to squeeze into a tight spot will envy the ability of German parking wizard Ronny “C-Rock”
