Purchasing a vehicle has never been easier than it is today. You simply go to Google, type in what you’re looking for, and you end up with a mountain of information. So what are people searching for? To find out, the insurance company Veygo conducted a study.

When it comes to sim racing wheels, you’re presented with a ton of options. Now there’s a new wheel out but there’s a bit of a caveat… It only works for one game and you need to own a Tesla to get it.

If you’re as bad at planning gifts as us, you’ll face the same story every year. Even if you’ve picked up the presents you wanted, you won’t have wrapped them by the time NORAD says Santa’s at your chimney — and then you can’t find anything to wrap them with anyway.

Earlier this year Ford showed off the original 1968 Mustang GT-390 from Bullitt it found on a farm in California. Now, another classic Steve McQueen film car has resurfaced.

You can hardly accuse Caterham of being progressive. It’s a company whose core business is a car effectively designed in 1952… and you make it yourself.

This week’s Wednesday Want once again zeros in on one of our favorite automotive genres, Group B rally cars. In the past, we’ve showcased the Porsche 959, Peugeot 205 T16, and the Toyota 222D. Now joining that list is the MG Metro 6R4.

If there’s a better way to get into the festive spirit than to attach a Christmas tree to a $140,000 sports car and take it drifting, we don’t know what it is. Fortunately Lotus agrees, and threw in a whistle-stop tour of its headquarters near Norwich too.

Driving the #137 Commodore, Brad managed to survive the dark, the rain, and the opposition, with the team finishing 22nd amongst a field of 53 starters. The second Hooncorp car on the track, the #37 Pulsar, came 15th.

Pull out the flat brim hat and crack open a Monster, it’s time for the latest edition of Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos.

It’s been looking bad for the Bloodhound team recently. A project to send a car to 1,000mph was never going to be easy, but with some big-name sponsors on board, all the pieces were nearly in place.

The Grand Tour’s third season is almost upon us but good news! Amazon has decided to renew the light entertainment motoring show for a fourth season.

Thanks to one quick-witted snapper, we’ve got an early look at Toyota’s much-anticipated fifth generation Supra.
