Fuel economy and high-performance aren’t things that are typically said in the same sentence. Sure, the Tesla Model S can be speedy and doesn’t burn an ounce of gasoline, but it needs charging. Now a car builder has constructed an exciting car that aims to be fuel-efficient at over 100 miles per gallon while promising a 0-60 mph time of under four seconds.

Having a 4 year-old in the backseat every week is the automotive equivalent of shaving your face with a cheese grater. You’re getting somewhere, but chances are things won’t be very pretty when it’s time to step back and assess the damage.

As Old Man Winter slowly relinquishes his icy grip, and spring permeates the air, summer lurks patiently around the bend, waiting to expose us to scorching heat indexes and excruciatingly slow stop-and-go traffic. Overheating issues are a real threat during warm weather months, and according to anti-freeze/coolant specialist Prestone, a staggering “40% of all engine failures are a result of a malfunctioning cooling system.”

I am a fan of cars that look like crap on the outside, and run like crazy at the racetrack. A perfect example is the latest car that the gang over at Motor Trend’s Roadkill has built.

As part of his New Zealand series, The Smoking Tire’s Matt Farah found what he says is “probably the world’s fastest two-bedroom home.” It’s a lovely house built on the bed of a 1985 Hino truck.

The Morgan 3-Wheeler is a pretty astounding machine, even if it does come with just three wheels. But with a base price of $45,000, it may not be the most practical way to spend your money.

This 50-year-old farmer from the Chinese city of Zhengzhou is a better grandfather than you’ll ever be. He built his grandson this mini replica Lamborghini from scrap metal. The car has an electric motor that can run for 35 miles between charges as speeds up to 26 mph, rear-view mirrors, a stereo system and can even go in reverse.
