Yes, the above video features a car parking itself. “What’s the big deal,” you ask, seeing as certain Lexus models can already park themselves? This Passat is different.

The last time we posted a “Coolest Thing You Will watch Today” video, it was of the Pagani Zonda. We’ll admit, a guy making sound effects through a plastic tube doesn’t quite have the same supercar appeal, but we bet you’ll watch this video of a guy making Honda VTEC sounds over and over –…
Many months after the debut of the E63 AMG, Mercedes has released a new promo video of the super sedan and it’s not the sort of scenic driving B-roll we expected. Instead, the whole video is shot on a race track, in the wet and those rear tires almost never have any traction. Any why…

There’s only one problem… it’s in Italian. So if you’re fluent in the tongue of the Prancing Horse, then you’re in luck. Heck, even if you’re not,…
Over four years ago, AMS shocked the world taking a Mitsubishi EVO VIII and setting all sorts of new records with it. Back then it eclipsed the mid-to-low 9-second mark on the drag strip and a couple of years later they bested all the marks with a new world record at 8.42 @ 168.7 mph….
