The Auto World

If you’ve been driving in or around Las Vegas and were pulled up by the long arm of the law, then we may have some good news for you. The state of Nevada passed a new bill which, we’re sure quite conveniently for some, means that as many as 35,000 traffic warrants are going away. The state legislature was actually passed last year, but won’t go into effect until January 1st, 2023. It related to the decriminalization of some minor traffic violations, which will now be reclassified as civil infractions. The Assembly Bill 116, signed by Governor Sisolak, is what tweaked many offenses considered criminal misdemeanors (and therefore arrestable offenses) into infections that will no longer subject those who commit them to arrest.

It also promises that those who were

Car customization is an important facet of automotive culture. For many, it’s important that their car not only reflects their lifestyle but also that it’s distinguishable from other similar models on the road. One owner took that to the extreme with a bunch of accessories that make this Audi S4 truly one of a kind… we hope. Spotted at a grocery store parking lot that we think is in Michigan, this S4 is full of unique touches. We’ll start with the lights because it looks like the owner has made a functional change to them by adding a honeycomb effect to each housing. Sure, they’re probably dimmer than they were originally, but who cares when they look so cool? Then there’s the plethora of stickers everywhere. On the rear panel alone you’ll find a Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo, fake bullet holes, Wylie Coyote, the Roadrunner, Nike logos, and even one sticker that says “Official racing car 526 HP.” Keep in mind that a stock S4 of this vintage makes about 350 hp (261 kW) from the factory

It’s a fact that 2022 reminded us that we’re capable of doing a lot of silly things. That’s why we thought we’d share this year’s top 10 most popular viral car videos of the year. #10: ‘Vette Ghosts Police Car While the brand-new Corvette Z06 was catching headlines for its unbelievable speed, one American driver sought to prove that the C7 Corvette could still amaze. While their behavior is obviously abhorrent, it was impressive to see how fast a sports car can pull away from a cop car , and even weirder to see it just disappear.

Not every moment of automotive silliness is also dangerous, as one upset citizen proved when they left a note on the hood of a Jeep Wrangler for seemingly blocking a parking spot reserved for electrified vehicles. The note’s writer, though, was apparently not aware that the SUV was a plug-in hybrid 4xe m

While frequent oil changes in ICE-powered vehicles are widely considered common knowledge, there are cases of extreme neglect shared by surprised car mechanics. The videos show the terrible state of the oil after exceeding its lifecycle for thousands of miles. Most automakers suggest oil change intervals of 6 or 12 months, or after clocking 7,500-15,000 miles (12,070-24,140 km). Unfortunately, this Seat Leon 1.8 TSI spent a lot more time on the roads between services, as proven by the state of the oil. The Spanish compact hatchback which is a close relative to the VW Golf came into the shop with a check engine light, only for the inspection to reveal that the owner hadn’t changed the oil for 60,000 miles (96,560 km).

With all due respect to Tesla, the electric-vehicle startup is noted for its blind optimism and exuberance. These (including their dark consequences) are qualities that defined American industry in the 1950s and ’60s. And that made us wonder; what would a Tesla Model S have looked like if it had been designed in the era that believed the future was so bright that everyone would need sunglasses? To find out, we asked and fed an AI generator with information to design the electric vehicle as if it had been made in the ’50s and the ’60s. The results were a little surprising to me, but they do work quite well. Starting with what I believe to be the design that looks older, the red, jet-age-and-chromium design of this sleek Model S looks like something straight off the concept car turntable of a 1950s auto show.

We’re almost ready to wave goodbye to 2022 and that means we’re almost ready to say hello to a new haul of classic cars that can be legally imported to the U.S. under the 25-year rule. We’ve pulled together a list of some of the cars first produced during the 1998 calendar year that weren’t originally homologated for sale in America, but are now able to side-step those pesky safety and emissions regulations that kept them out in the first place.  It’s worth remembering that you can only import a car that you can prove was built at least 25 years ago – there were plenty of cool cars launched at motor shows in 1998, which on the face of it appear to qualify, but many didn’t go on sale until the following year, and so won’t make the cut until 2024.
