Look, we've all been there. You're out late, you're wiped out, and you've just got to crash somewhere. Could be a friend's place, could be in your car. But obviously, only the truly desperate would pass out on a park bench. No, much better would be to scale an eight-foot barbed wire fence at an airport, break into an Airbus A320, and take a nice little nap in the bathroom. That's the way that true heroes do it. And America's truest hero is none other than Florida Man, this time going under the alias Samuel Lackey. So when Lackey needed somewhere to rest his weary head on the night of August 1, you bet he jumped the perimeter at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and made his way over to an empty JetBlue, mobile staircase still attached.

Gordon Murray Strikes Again with the S1

  • Gordon Murray Special Vehicles has just shown its third supercar, the S1.
  • Mechanically based on last year’s S1 LM, the new car is more touring-focused.
  • Only 64 will be built, and all are spoken for.

Gordon Murray, the engineering luminary behind the McLaren F1, is not slowing down. His current firm, Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), has already produced the T.50, sort of a modern-day take on the F1, and the Sixties-inspired T.33. As if those cars weren't special enough, last year he created Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV), which he says allows for more creative freedom to play with ultra-low production cars.

Bridges And Roads Are So Fundamental To Human Survival That The Geneva Conventions Protect Them - Jalopnik

Planes, trains, automobiles, and the infrastructure built to support them are vital to human survival. They're so essential to life that these thoroughfares, like the Strait of Hormuz and its disputed freedom and opening, become massive trigger points in wars. Without them, the people who live or work within cut-off areas can suffer substantially as they are stranded, starved, or basically left to die, similar to how the U.S.-Iran war is stranding soldiers in the Strait. A devastating World War II annihilated many of Europe's bridges and roadways, so much so that nations convened in 1949 to add an entire section to the Geneva Conventions to protect that critical infrastructure. It would ensure many nations' roads and bridges would be protected from being destroyed in war in the future.

Which Concept Car's Interior Should Have Gone Into Production? - Jalopnik

When we talk about the best concept cars, we tend to focus on their exteriors more than their interiors. Which is fair enough. You can do some crazy things if you don't have to worry about production realities. Plus, interiors tend to change even more than exteriors do when concepts get put into production, and some concepts don't even have interiors yet anyway. In order to build a concept car, you need an exterior of some kind.

Singer Debuts Chic Duo of Louis Vuitton 911 Reimaginations

  • Singer introduced a pair of new Porsche 911 recreations in partnership with Louis Vuitton, the French luxury fashion brand.
  • The partnership includes “reimaginations” of a 964-era Singer Classic and a 964-era Classic Turbo.
  • The special-edition Singer models are finished in unique liveries and are awash with Louis Vuitton design choices, from their dashboards to their keys.

Luxury design houses and commissioned Porsches whose prices tend to run in the hundreds of thousands, if not more, are a match made in heaven. Still, it’s quite the catch for Singer, the boutique California-based reinventor of Classic Porsches, to land Louis Vuitton. The two brands partnered to build a pair of 964-based 911s—one a Singer Classic and the other a Singer Classic Turbo. The results speak for themselves.

Overview

Jaguar is on the cusp of entering a new era, one where its vehicles are not only electric but also compete in the ultimate luxury vehicle segment with a four-door sedan called Type 01. Jaguar has released precious few details about the new luxury sedan, but in photos of a camouflaged prototype, we can see that it will be a large car with a long hood and a steeply raked windshield.

Honda has always had a close-knit relationship with motor racing, and now you've got a chance to own, restore and even track a piece of that history through a new program the Japanese automaker is spinning up. It's called the HRC Heritage Racing Program, and it's giving well-to-do enthusiasts access to iconic racers from Formula 1, Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona, but offerings are limited to production-based GT cars. Oh no, they include purpose-built prototypes as well. That means there's some incredibly cool stuff up for grabs.

Trump Pulls A Ghosn, Sneaks Off Air Force One In Airport Catering Truck - Jalopnik

Hey, remember that time Trump couldn't safely fly on the definitely-not-a-bribe plane Qatar gave him and instead had to fly on the old Air Force One because the gift plane didn't have the necessary defense systems installed? Good times. Turns out, the real story is at least a hundred times funnier (and far darker) than what was originally reported. According to the Washington Post, Trump was so afraid Iran would assassinate him, he pulled a Carlos Ghosn and snuck off the old Air Force One. This time, though, instead of a speaker case, he reportedly used a catering truck.
