We tried hard to think of a situation where we would be in Saudi Arabia with a broken down car in need of a tow. After watching this shaky “Blair Witch Project” style video from Riyadh, we’re glad it’s not an occasion we’re likely to see. If you somehow find yourself needing a… »

Chuck Yeager is kind of insane, and not just because he supported Duncan Hunter for president (though, seriously, c’mon). A man of great courage and, literally, phenomenal vision, he was one of the first pilots to shoot down a jet aircraft. He once took out two aircraft without a single shot by spooking them into… »

The Chinese are continuing to impress us with their stylistic variations on contemporary supercar styling. Unlike the obvious knockoffs, these cars expand on themes established by European designers. One example is the Geely GT, which draws inspiration from the Maybach Exelero while still maintaing its own design. Another example is the Scorpio concept from engineering… »

Holy. Sweet. Fireballs. We thought that twin Rolls Royce powered Star Raider was nuts (and a bit on the geeky side), but take one of those engines, put it on two wheels, add a freakin’ afterburner and you get this jet powered drag bike. Yet again we are in awe of the Aussie ability to… »

Last year, Belvedere Adrian brought two vehicles from his fleet of old Plymouths, plus his vintage Serro Scotty trailer, to a tailgate party before an Oakland Athletics game, and a good time was had by all.

Sure Murilee referenced it when talking about its epic 702 cubic inch GMC Twin Six V12, but what about the car itself? The B-702 is a hand-crafted super sized… »

Admit it, you’ve peed in a bottle or at least thought about it on a road trip. It’s only inevitable to want to relieve yourself in the car to avoid losing precious time, but this new product takes that idea a couple steps too far. The My Pee Pee Bottle is essentially a Nalgene-style bottle… »

We all know what Pedro de la Rosa thinks about women in motorsport. Now, we’ve got CBS Sports’ Gregg Doyel weighing in on Danica Patrick’s win, proclaiming the Indy Racing League to be an inferior racing series. Most people will agree the IRL isn’t the highest pinnacle of motorsports, but Doyel thinks
“the IRL is… »

When you’re having a quinto-Belvedere tailgate party at the Oakland Coliseum, you pay to park in the official stadium lot, but when you’re swilling cheap beer and wolfing chile verde burritos prior to sneaking into the good seats with your bleacher tickets watching a ballgame from the bleachers, you don’t want to pay to park… »
