Why racecars are brutal on long road trips

This video follows a difficult cross country drive from Nashville to Oklahoma City in a Caterham racecar that was never built for normal long distance travel. The car has no proper roof no air conditioning no brake booster no ABS and no power steering which makes the trip uncomfortable from the start. Heavy rain turns the open cabin into a wet mess before extreme heat reaches around 120°F and makes the drive even harder. The team tries a risky cool suit wiring fix while moving then the clutch begins to fail because heat from the exhaust causes the fluid to boil. A roadside repair with basic tools and a straw keeps the journey alive. The video shows why a racecar can feel exciting for short hard driving but becomes stressful painful and unpredictable during a full day on the road.

My teen wants an old sports car as a first vehicle because it is 'cheap.' Am I right to refuse?

When a teen says an old sports car is “cheap,” they are usually talking about the asking price, not the full cost of owning it. That is the part parents are right to question.

That idea has become one of the most polarizing trends in the industry, and it is a big reason drivers are asking whether subscriptions are taking over cars.

How fast can supercars actually shift McLaren 720S?

How fast do supercars actually shift? I've seen estimates ranging from 8 milliseconds to 150 milliseconds, and anywhere in that region is seriously fast. To find out if the estimates are true, I sat inside a McLaren 720S and used a data logger to find the shift speed. As an example, I spent some time measuring the shift speed in my manual transmission Honda S2000, and generally was shifting in about 250-300 milliseconds (0.25-0.30 seconds). Will the supercar shift faster than a human? Likely, but how fast? Check out the video to find out!!

This is the reason these cars keep getting stolen

More than one million cars were stolen in the United States last year, with some models appearing far more often than others.

The result is a sharp look at why modern car theft has become so widespread and why some owners may face much higher risk than others.
