BMW's lineup of straight-six powered M cars have gained serious popularity thanks to the engine's ability to make big power reliably. One tuner seems to have pushed the envelope a bit too far, though, and the results are catastrophic.

NORWALK, Conn. — A tanker truck filled with gasoline burst into flames in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 in Connecticut, closing the East Coast’s main north-south highway Thursday and causing major traffic jams.
As if New Jerseyans don't already have a love/hate relationship with E-ZPass, the automatic toll collection company is making some drivers' lives even more difficult. Some Jersey drivers have found that, within the past year, they were incorrectly charged the same tolling rate as big-rig trucks despite driving normal passenger cars while crossing the George Washington Bridge. What's the difference in that fee, you ask? Instead of maximum off $14.75—which is already a lot—it could be as much as $140.
North Carolina's famously low "11-foot-8" bridge—which is actually 12 feet, four inches tall, now—recently claimed yet another victim. Over the years, countless drivers have had their trucks and trailers decapitated while attempting to drive over-height vehicles underneath. While incidents have slowed recently thanks to countermeasures by the city of Durham, a few inattentive drivers still squeak through—like the one in this recent video.
The infernal jingle isn't dead yet. The New Jersey-based charity Kars4Kids, the one with the maddening TV and radio jingle,was previously ordered to pay $10.6 million (later reduced to $7.8 million) to Texas-based charity America Can! Cars of Kids for trademark infringement. However, Kars4Kids appealed last year and, earlier this week, the appellate court reversed the original penalty. So the Garden State charity is not only allowed to continue using its name in Texas but its jingle, too.
Car dealers have expressed both caution and optimism about electric vehicles, telling Fox News Digital that the technology still needs to advance and that they would not feel comfortable having one as the sole car in the household.
A TikTok ban is back on the table after the House approved a new bill on Saturday addressing the issues that stalled it out in the Senate.
For every perfectly preserved, eight-figure collector car that surfaces at Amelia Island or Monterey, there's a vehicular treasure that's stashed away for good, never to be seen or enjoyed by the public again. While it's clearly different from a pre-war Bugatti, my mind goes to Ford's experimental turbine semi-truck named «Big Red,» which was hidden for years until my old coworker Peter located it. Something in that same vein is happening in New Jersey right now as the last surviving Mack M100SX, the largest truck ever built by the manufacturer, is being restored after decades of disuse.
