Up to 10 suspects broke into an auto shop and stole multiple premium car keys. Police had to shoot at a Porsche Cayenne to bring it to a stop at an intersection. An employee suspects a former customer may have been involved in the break-in. Let’s be honest, if you’re trying to steal a car , you’re probably not the sharpest tool in the shed. That much was clear when a group of would-be thieves broke into an auto shop in Flushing, Queens and tried to make off with several high-end vehicles. What they didn’t realize was that some of those cars were in the shop for a reason — they were broken. So, despite what looked like a Fast and Furious audition, most of them didn’t make it very far.

A group of Tesla drivers in France are taking legal action against the company. They claim CEO Elon Musk’s recent actions have damaged their own reputations. The group says Teslas now carry far-right connotations and want rid of their EVs. Most car buyers would struggle to name the CEO behind the company that made their vehicle, let alone list his or her political viewpoints.

Somebody just paid $204,000 for a 32-year-old Mustang in near-new condition. It also happens to be a rare SVT Cobra model with just 12 miles on the odometer. Final price more than doubled during the last 30 minutes of fierce bidding on BaT. It’s not every day a decades-old Mustang sells for more than a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo. But in the strange, sometimes hilarious world of collectible cars, anything is possible, including someone dropping crazy money on a Fox body. And if Ford’s new 2026 Mustang FX package is anything to go by, the obsession with retro pony cars isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Now, Ford’s Fox body Mustang isn’t always lauded as the greatest of the bunch. Despite that, it was the basis for several very important versions of the pony car. One of those, now arguably more special than nearly any that came after, is the SVT Cobra. Why the sudden surge in status? Someone just paid supercar money for one. Turns out, the Fox body glow-up is happening on ...
