Clare Balding: I won't allow TV bosses to dictate what I wear on-screen

Watch Sebastian Vettel Totally Rip Off Jeff Gordon's "Test Drive" Stunts

Take prominent race car driver. Disguise as an everyday user of vehicles, if not a bit of a rube. Put in car. Put "unknowing" passengers in car. Terrify passengers. We've seen this before , haven't we?

Subaru Sunday

One of my favorite videos ever made featuring a car, is actually from a snowboarding movie. DC Mtn Lab 1.5 features a part with Ken Block taking his Rally America prepped STi through New Zealand's Snow Park ski resort. In it he hits kickers, kicks up some rooster tails, and comes dangerously close to wiping out half of DC's snowboarding team. It's a pre-Gymkhana Block demonstrating what it takes to become one of the internet and the world's most popular (And some would argue overrated.) motorsports icons.

If GM Wants To Sell More Sport Sedans, They Should Listen To This Guy

The Chevrolet SS (that's for Sport Sedan, don't get it confused with something else like a Camaro) could be a real seller for General Motors... If only they weren't so inept at actually telling us why we want to buy one. Reader Logansteno, somehow still a GM fan, tells it like it is.

This Is The Craziest Rally Stage I've Ever Seen

China has some of the most brutal rallies in existence, and it's not hard to see why. A lot of it has to do with the rough roads they run on. Here's a constantly twisty road that straddles drop-offs on both sides. Consequences for turning the wrong way are pretty high.
