$38,000 for a military truck - then we discovered how much it really costs to own

After nearly two years with a 1992 M35A3 military truck, the realities of owning an enormous former military vehicle have become impossible to ignore. The roughly 11,000-pound machine uses 46-inch tires, a 6.6-liter Caterpillar turbo-diesel producing around 175 horsepower and can pull approximately 12,000 pounds. Its size makes it impressive in open terrain like Moab, but trees, mud, tire repairs and everyday driving create problems that conventional pickups rarely face. Even replacing a tire can require specialized equipment, while filling its approximately 50-gallon diesel tank adds another major expense. It is loud, slow and uncomfortable, but its extreme capability and unmistakable character explain why the owners still consider it worth keeping.

He ran a red light chasing a race truck through Mexico… then police handcuffed him and took him to the station

This racing story reveals a side of motorsports that has little to do with polished circuits and professional pit lanes. During his first Baja 1000 experience in Mexico, the driver was assigned to chase a race hauler, ran a red light trying to stay with it, and ended up handcuffed and taken to a police station before eventually being released after paying money. On later trips, he describes crossing the border with missing paperwork, handing out T-shirts and stickers, and even leaving cases of Red Bull where military checkpoints could find them. The story then shifts to a tiny dirt track where the posted rules called for four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive cars, yet he found himself being rear-ended by a V6 Mustang during the heat race. Before the feature, he discovered fuel jugs missing from his race hauler but decided confronting the people nearby was not worth risking his teeth. He ultimately lapped the entire field, finished ahead of his son, and was disqualified under a rule that penalized drivers for going too fast - but he still left with the trophy and another unforgettable racing story.

This electric car lost a massive amount of value - so we bought it used

Rapid depreciation has created some extraordinary opportunities in the used electric-car market, and this purchase demonstrates just how dramatic the difference can become. A vehicle that originally competed as an expensive premium EV can become considerably more affordable once the first owner absorbs the steepest part of its depreciation. That creates a very different value equation for used buyers who still get modern electric performance, technology and everyday usability. The purchase also raises an important question about whether buying certain luxury EVs new makes financial sense when used examples can lose value so quickly. In this case, depreciation transforms an expensive electric vehicle into what the presenters consider one of the strongest EV bargains available.

His brand-new truck sent him to the hospital after 5 minutes… a legal fight ended with the vehicle being bought back

A man bought a brand-new truck and had driven it for only about five minutes when he turned on the defroster and a jagged piece of glass hit him in the eye. The truck had apparently arrived at the dealership with a smashed window that was replaced before the sale, but glass remained hidden inside the defroster ducts. After receiving treatment at the hospital, the buyer refused to take the truck back and his attorney used a legal concept called “revocation of acceptance.” The dealership initially resisted, leading to a legal dispute involving both the dealer and manufacturer. After the buyer gave his testimony and provided medical records, the manufacturer agreed to buy the truck back.

How this car goes from 0-60 MPH in just 0.9 seconds

Students from AMZ Racing at ETH Zurich built an electric race car capable of reaching 62 mph in just 0.956 seconds, smashing the previous 1.46-second record and accelerating more than twice as quickly as the F1 comparison used in the video. Instead of relying only on conventional aerodynamics, the car uses fans and carbon-fiber skirts to create suction underneath the floor, producing maximum downforce even while the car is completely stationary. Its four-wheel-drive system uses an individual electric motor at each wheel, while computers constantly control the torque to keep every tire near its optimum level of grip. The car can launch at around 3G, requiring a hydraulically interconnected suspension system inspired by technology previously used in F1 to keep the floor correctly positioned. Engineers said they could have pushed the fans and power even further, but the chassis had reached the point where additional loads risked breaking components.

Why transverse V6 engines disappeared from modern cars

DRIVETRIBE looks back at the transverse V6 engine, a layout once common in front wheel drive performance and luxury cars like the Ford Mondeo ST200, Alfa Romeo Busso models, and VW VR6 cars. The video explains why these engines were popular for their smooth power, strong sound, cabin space efficiency, and premium feel. It also breaks down why they faded away as turbocharged four cylinder engines became cheaper, lighter, more fuel efficient, and easier to tune for different performance levels. The result is a look at one of the most characterful engine layouts modern cars have mostly left behind.

Who keeps ditching supercars in the desert?

Dubai has become famous for exotic cars, extreme wealth, and some of the most expensive vehicles on the road, but it also has a strange reputation for abandoned supercars. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, and other high-end cars have been found sitting in parking garages, impound lots, and even desert areas for months at a time. In many cases, the vehicles were reportedly left behind by owners facing debt, job losses, or legal consequences tied to unpaid loans. Some cars are eventually impounded, auctioned, repaired, or even repurposed. In this video, we look at why these supercars get abandoned, what happens to them afterward, and whether it’s actually possible to buy one for a bargain.

He Bought an Old Police Car for a Trip to Canada… Then Someone Warned Him “You’re Not Getting In Country"

A car enthusiast bought an old police car for a road trip from Nevada through Canada and into Alaska, where the vehicle was eventually supposed to be launched off a roughly 300-foot cliff during a July 4th celebration. Halfway to the Canadian border, a stranger at a gas station warned him that Canada had tightened restrictions around decommissioned police vehicles after a mass killing in which the attacker had used one to impersonate an officer. He called a border station and was told he needed to remove anything that made the vehicle resemble an active police car, so he threw away an old police uniform, removed an interior light bar and had the push bar taken off. When he finally reached the border, officers ordered him out, took his keys and made him wait while they searched the vehicle. They then questioned him about a handcuff key still attached to the key ring and why the car had a Texas plate on the front and a Florida plate on the back. After roughly two hours of questioning and waiting, the officers returned his keys and allowed him to continue through Canada toward Alaska..

He built a truck that drives on railroad tracks - but one mistake nearly ruined everything

After spending months converting a tiny Japanese mini truck into a vehicle capable of driving on abandoned railroad tracks, YouTuber Preston traveled to Idaho with one ambitious goal: crossing the Half Moon Trestle Bridge. Unfortunately, an unexpected avalanche ended his first attempt, leaving him devastated after investing so much time, money, and effort into the project. Nearly two years later, he decides to give his dream another chance, but getting the truck ready proves far more difficult than expected. After discovering that his original railroad wheel assembly had damaged the radiator, Preston teams up with a mechanic named Brian to repair the vehicle and rebuild its custom rail system. However, repeated derailments, alignment problems, and an ambitious suspension lift that snaps an axle threaten to derail the entire project. Determined to make the next expedition more comfortable, Preston also adds larger tires, a powerful 5,500-pound winch, and a custom camper equipped with insulation, solar panels, and wooden interior paneling. After countless setbacks and modifications, the truck finally completes a successful railroad test, giving Preston the confidence to return to Idaho and attempt the crossing once again.

This hacker found a way to fool AI traffic cameras - and it actually worked

The Donut team travels to Las Vegas to investigate whether modern AI surveillance cameras can be fooled into failing to recognize a vehicle. Using a Toyota Yaris and a Flock Falcon automated license plate reader, they team up with cybersecurity expert Bill to explore how artificial intelligence identifies and tracks cars. Unlike traditional traffic cameras, Flock systems can reportedly recognize vehicles using details such as their color, dents, stickers and other distinguishing features, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. After discovering that commercially available license plate covers and blocking sprays are largely ineffective, the team experiments with a custom-designed vehicle wrap featuring an unusual mathematical pattern intended to confuse AI detection software. Their first attempts fail, with the camera still recognizing the Yaris despite its unusual appearance. However, after making additional modifications, including covering the windows, the team manages to reduce the detection system's confidence below their target threshold of 75%. Subsequent tests show the car going undetected by their experimental setup, demonstrating how carefully designed visual patterns can interfere with AI recognition. Although the experiment does not establish that the vehicle could evade every real-world surveillance system, it highlights both the capabilities and limitations of modern AI-powered cameras.

His dad drove the same Porsche every day for more than 20 years, selling it left him searching for it decades later

His love for Porsche began as a child, crammed into the tiny back seat of his father’s Sahara Beige 1974 911 Targa while the car served as the family’s everyday transportation. Those childhood drives left him with memories ranging from repeatedly smashing his fingers in the doors to developing an attachment to the distinctive sound and feel of an old 911. Years later, that connection came full circle when he borrowed a classic Porsche 930 Turbo and decided to drive it through Malibu, only for what should have been a roughly 45-minute commute to turn into about three and a half hours of stop-and-go traffic. The Porsche became so hot that he repeatedly had to pull over and let it cool while keeping the engine running, because he was concerned about shutting down an overheated older Turbo. By the time he reached the office, the heat was so intense that a coworker could barely touch the dealer plate and the Apple AirTag attached to it had been completely fried. Despite the uncomfortable and chaotic experience, he says stories like these are exactly what keep his passion for Porsche and the 911 alive.

He finally bought a Cold War battle tank — its 650-HP aircraft engine hadn’t been making things easy

After previously losing an auction for two Chieftain tanks, he gets another chance at owning a real British battle tank and buys a massive Centurion. The Cold War-era machine weighs around 120,000 pounds and uses a roughly 27-liter Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 producing about 650 horsepower, but there is one major problem: it will not start. Even unloading it becomes an operation of its own, requiring a 900-horsepower truck and eventually a Caterpillar bulldozer to get the enormous vehicle into position. The team returns with fuel, jumper cables and starting fluid and finally gets the old V12 running. After warming the transmission, the decades-old Centurion actually moves under its own power, and he ends the video driving his newly revived battle tank down the street.

Why are Formula 1 cars being crushed after racing?

Formula 1 cars can be worth enormous amounts of money, so seeing one apparently headed for destruction raises an obvious question - why would anyone crush it instead of selling it? Once a racing car reaches the end of its useful life, teams have to decide what can be preserved, displayed, sold or stripped for parts while protecting valuable technology. Some cars survive in collections and museums, while others may be dismantled or reduced to little more than a shell rather than remaining complete. There can also be major differences between genuine race-used machines, show cars and replicas that look almost identical from the outside. This video explores why an F1 car might ultimately be destroyed and what actually happens once its racing days are finished.

Want a vehicle that can reach 250,000 miles? These models have the highest statistical odds

This comparison examines the vehicles statistically most likely to reach or exceed 250,000 miles based on longevity data rather than manufacturer claims. Toyota models feature heavily in the results, particularly its traditional trucks and SUVs that have developed strong reputations for long-term durability. The rankings focus on the probability of reaching the quarter-million-mile mark, giving buyers another way to evaluate vehicles beyond horsepower, technology and initial purchase price. Trucks and body-on-frame SUVs perform particularly well among the longest-lasting models discussed. For drivers planning to keep a vehicle for many years, the data highlights which nameplates have historically demonstrated unusually high mileage potential.
