Roads? Where we're going we don't needs roads. We aren't going anywhere in these New York taxis that look like Deloreans from the Back to the Future movies.

The Tesla Model S has been named Motor Trend magazine’s 2013 Car of the Year, one of the most prestigious honors in the automotive industry. The Model S won by way of unanimous vote, after 11 discriminating judges test drove 25 other vehicles to compare those all-important technical aspects of four-wheeled travel like acceleration, brakes and suspension tuning.

The latest automotive reliability survey from Consumer Reports came out this week, and Toyota leads the way. Ford, which had been rising in the ranks recently, fell back this year: it now ranks second-to-last among all auto manufacturers.

Unless you're driving a truck or bus, you can pretty much ignore the signs which warn how tall upcoming bridges are. But it turns out that many truck drivers also ignore these signs, and as you'll see in this video compilation, they often pay a price for it!

YouTube George Carlin once joked that the only reason he watched auto racing was for the accidents, he “wanted to see some cars on fire”. Funny because it’s true. However, when they are as serious looking as this one, there isn’t much to laugh about.

Quick, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente with 576,000 miles on it? You probably envisioned it being restored, housed in a glass case a la Cameron’s dad’s Ferrari in ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,’ right? It’s surely not street legal or safe any longer, right? Wrong.

As expected, Kiss made the loudest and most jaw-dropping entrance to the 2012 ACM Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
