James Bruton via YouTube James Bruton is something of a robotics genius. He’s a YouTuber who regularly creates impressive machines from 3D-printed parts and complex electronics. Recently he’s branched out into larger more powerful creations, but with great power comes great risk of bodily harm. As such, he decided to make his own crash dummy as a way to test some of his contraptions before he takes the wheel. As it turns out, that’s not very easy, but it is incredibly funny. Bruton was unable to simply buy a crash test dummy because they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. His solution t ..read more

Chevrolet The heavy-duty off-road pickup segment is suddenly one of the industry’s most competitive. Ford, Ram, and General Motors all sell multiple trucks that are meant to tow big loads and tackle tough trails on the same day. The Chevy Silverado HD ZR2 and GMC Sierra HD AT4X are the latest entries, and they take a unique approach with Multimatic DSSV dampers and independent front suspension. You’re more likely to find that combo on a race car than any other 3/4-ton pickup, so I wanted to talk with GM’s engineering group manager Tim Demetrio to learn how they did it. GM has stuck with IFS ..read more

SingerVehicleDesign Last weekend, Hertz Team Jota debuted its Porsche 963 Hypercar at the World Endurance Championship‘s 6 Hours of Spa. The No. 38 qualified seventh on the grid and went on to finish sixth on race day, putting it right in the mix with heavyweight factory teams from Ferrari, Peugeot, Toyota, and even Porsche. Surviving 148 laps on a track that’s famously torturous on hardware was enough reason for celebration, but as a privateer team with minimal testing under its belt and a fraction of the resources of a factory team, the squad walked away elated.

Few watches can keep up with us at The Drive. We get our hands greasy, dirty, and have a habit of acquiring cuts, bruises, and scars. As such, your Rolexs, Tag-Heurs, and IWCs tend to not be what we go for. We’re also not rolling in dough. But one make can absolutely keep up with us, and that’s Garmin. Garmin’s watches are brilliantly designed things and can take an absolute beating—just ask our resident Garmin man, Hank O’Hop. But even these can be expensive, which is why whenever we see some good deals, we jump on them. And this memorial day, Amazon has a bunch on sale. So get you one that ..read more

Aaron Cole. The Venn diagram of “technology” and “enthusiasm” overlaps at “awesome.” Awesome isn’t always good, but it’s always memorable. For example, Nederland, Colorado, is an idyllic mountain town just up the canyon from Boulder and it’s the type of place you’re likely to find more flavors of blunt wrappers than soft drinks if you catch my drift. It’s awesome for that, and other reasons. It’s famous for its annual “Frozen Dead Guy Days,” a festival that celebrates, of all things, the frozen dead guy in Nederland. The short of the long: In the 1990s, a cryogenically frozen man was transp ..read more
