As teased earlier today, the Trump administration has announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is rescinding its 2016 finding that greenhouse gases present a threat to public health. That finding was the basis for Obama- and Biden-era emissions standards that the administration blames for rising automobile prices. In walking back its previous finding, the administration is effectively vacating all policies and procedures that were based on it, going back as far as 2012. “The Endangerment Finding…

January went by in a blur for one of Britain’s most influential motorsport figures: Malcolm Wilson, the founder and managing director of M-Sport. He first had the Dakar Rally to attend, along with the rest of his team, as it operated Ford’s effort to win the famous desert raid; then the Monte Carlo Rally, where M-Sport was running a number of customer Ford Fiesta WRC2 cars. Topping it all were his recently assumed responsibilities at the FIA. He was confirmed deputy president for sport in June 2025, with a specific brief from president Mohammed Ben Sulayem to return the World Rally Championship…

There’s also no such thing as a lounge of leopards. Thomas Retterath / Shutterstock Unlike lions, which live in prides, leopards typically avoid one another. However, exceptions occur. A mother with cubs may be accompanied for over a year, forming a small group. In some cases, siblings from the same litter may remain together temporarily after leaving their mother. Though leopards don’t form herds, packs, or prides like other animals, the term “leap” still gives us a way to describe those rare moments of interaction—especially in captivity or during mating season.

The 2026 BYD Atto 3 Evo is an updated version of the BYD Atto 3. For 2026, the Atto 3 Evo is now RWD or AWD, while power jumps to 443 horsepower (AWD), more than double the old car.  It also gains a frunk for 2026. Chinese car brands dominate much of the news cycle these days, for good reason. The country quickly went from a laughingstock, producing bad knockoffs for people who didn’t have much money to choose otherwise, to pumping out world-class cars. Its EVs have broadly surpassed Western designs, much to the chagrin of longstanding automakers.  This new…

As frustrating as it is that governments and businesses are running roughshod over our online freedoms, at least we have plenty of good VPNs to keep us protected online. There are so many fast, intelligently designed, full-featured and affordable services on the market that the biggest problem is picking one. For any use case, you can bet at least two providers will be neck-and-neck for first place.On the other hand, the VPN world is still the Wild West in some ways. It’s easy enough to slap a cheap VPN together that the market is flooded with low-quality apps that put…

A nightmare situation has been unfolding at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. About two months ago, an extremely odd incident occurred: A telehandler used by the track to move barriers and stuck cars crashed into several stopped vehicles during a red flag period, totaling an R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R in the process. After the initial incident made the rounds on social media, the car’s owner sought damages privately. But following failed negotiations with track officials, he’s now going public with details of the suit. And it ain’t pretty.   For those who missed the original incident, it happened at R’s Day…

Charging an electric car from a regular household outlet seems like a simple and cost-effective solution. However, this practice can carry serious technical and financial risks for both the car owner and the entire building’s electrical grid. Sviatoslav Pavliuk, director of the “Energy Efficient Cities of Ukraine” association, told a UNN journalist more about whether it is possible to charge an electric car from a household outlet in an apartment and what the consequences might be.DetailsAt first glance, connecting an electric car to a household outlet in an apartment seems quite feasible: technically, the car charges, there is electricity, the…

Eek, graunch, oops, sorry. There will be a set of exclamations, crunches and apologies such as these if I’m driving a car that grinds its nose on a driveway ramp or speed bump or grounds out over an undulating road. I apologise because I feel like I’ve let the car down. Yet, as time goes by, I’m less and less convinced that it’s my fault. So why the apology? Is it a natural part of being English? Like saying sorry to someone who happens to be wanting to walk through a door at the same time as me? Oops, my…

When we use the term “future classics” there is the implication that trends in the collector car market evolve and are subject to change. The inevitable question is what will be the Top “Future Classics” for 2026? Ever since the collector car market became commoditized as an equity investment, car collectors have been trying to predict what the next hot trend would be in hobby cars. Thus the term “future classics.” It loosely implies predicting a trend where you can buy a car before it gets super hot. Buy low, sell high is the name of the game.The collector car…
