A nice trick...

Jim Hunt has channeled the power of the beard for good. Miffed at speeding motorists in front of his home in Summerville, South Carolina, Jim decided to build what has come to be known as the "Tric-Vic", a fake-out cop car which he says works to slow down the speeders. The clever lawn ornament is constructed of expanded metal and reflectors in such a way as to mimic the iconic look of a Ford Police Interceptor parked roadside.

-

When it comes to powerful motorcycles, the Triumph Rocket 3 and Ducati Diavel V4 stand out from the crowd. While the Rocket 3 boasts a brutish design and cruiser DNA, the Diavel V4 leans toward the street fighter category with its sportier appeal. In this article, we'll explore five reasons why we love the Triumph Rocket 3 and five reasons why the Ducati Diavel V4 might just have an edge. Let the battle of these two titans begin! 1. The Rocket 3's Butch Stance: With its low seat height, long wheelbase, and imposing fuel tank, the Triumph Rocket 3 commands attention on the road. The bike's massive appearance is further enhanced by its inline-triple engine and eye-catching three-into-one exhaust setup. Not to mention, the rear tire is so wide that even Nikki Minaj would approve! 2. The Diavel V4's Sportier Look: The Ducati Diavel V4, although categorised as a power cruiser, exudes a sportier vibe.

On the 13th Anniversary of his passing, I would like to honour the memory of Hiromu Naruse, a true motorsport stalwart and a gentleman of exceptional calibre. The story of Hiromu Naruse is one of legend and tragedy, a tale that spans over half a century and has left an indelible mark on Toyota's history. Naruse, the most important test driver for the renowned automaker, dedicated his life to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering. However, his crowning achievement would ultimately lead to a heartbreaking end. It was a damp morning on June 23, 2010, when Naruse completed yet another lap of the infamous Nürburgring in a Lexus LFA. With 47 years of experience under his belt, Naruse held the record for the most Nürburgring laps by any Japanese driver. This particular LFA, an orange Nürburgring Package variant, was the culmination of his life's work—a car designed to rival the best from Europe on their home turf. As Naruse finished the lap, a sense of visible satisfaction ...

Nissan Juke Nismo: Smaller, Sassier, and Faster than Your Average Supercar – Ferrari, Bugatti Who?"

 "Good grief! Forget the prancing horse; we've got a little terrier on steroids in the form of the Nissan Juke Nismo! This pint-sized powerhouse somehow managed to outrun the esteemed Bugatti Veyron and the Ferrari 599 GTO – yes, you heard that right. It's like David beating Goliath, only this David comes with a turbocharger and a cheeky attitude. The Nissan Juke Nismo isn't your ordinary crossover; it's a pocket rocket with a mischievous glint in its headlights. With more speed than a caffeinated squirrel, it left the Ferrari in the dust, making you question ev erything you thought you knew about performance. Sure, it might not have the refined elegance of an Italian stallion, but who needs that when you're tearing up the tarmac and leaving supercars in your wake? The Juke Nismo is the rebellious teenager at the family reunion, and we can't help but love it for that. So, hats off to Nissan for giving us a dose of speed and a dash of insanity with the Juke ...
