I found a 58-year-old car with only 1,000 miles on it - and bought it

Richard receives an incredible 1968 classic car that Dennis found near Dayton, Ohio, with only around 1,000 original miles and an almost completely untouched appearance. The story is that a young woman got the car around the time she received her driver’s license, but discovered that taking the city bus was cheaper than paying for gas, so the car ended up spending most of its life parked in a garage. It still has all five original tires, an amazingly preserved interior, original markings, dealer-installed air conditioning with its paperwork, and only minor paint touch-ups from decades of storage. The crew believes it may be the lowest-mileage 1968 example they could find records for and debates whether something this original belongs in a museum rather than being modified. After inspecting it closely, Richard decides to keep the remarkable time capsule.

Toyota launches go-kart with 215cc engine for kids and adults, fits in a minivan

Toyota’s new kart: Toyota’s motorsports brand GAZOO Racing (GR) has launched the GR KART, an entry-level racing go-kart designed to make motorsport more accessible to children and families. The kart went on sale in Japan on September 10, 2026, at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of ¥385,000 (approx ₹2.3 lakh), including consumption tax. It is designed exclusively for closed-course driving and competition. Under ¥4 lakh: The GR KART is aimed at people who want to start karting but may find the cost of buying, transporting, storing and maintaining a racing kart difficult. Toyota says the new model combines a relatively accessible price with features intended to reduce ownership and maintenance requirements, allowing beginners to start and continue karting with fewer practical hurdles. Fits in a minivan: The kart measures 1,820 mm in length, 1,160 mm in width and 670 mm in height, with a 1,045 mm wheelbase. It weighs 83 kg and has a 215cc engine. Its dimensions allow it to be transported without disassembly in Toyota’s Noah or Voxy minivans. It can also be stored upright without draining the petrol or engine oil. Stores upright: Toyota has used an engine-oil catch tank, a diaphragm-type carburettor without a float chamber and a specific fuel-filler orientation to enable upright storage. These features allow the kart to remain upright with fuel and engine oil inside while helping reduce the possibility of leaks. The carburettor is also designed to reduce the effect of fuel-level changes caused by lateral g-forces. One kart, family: The driving position can be adjusted using sliding pedals and a tilting steering wheel, both operated with one-touch mechanisms. The setup accommodates drivers between 135 cm and 185 cm tall, allowing children and adults to use the same kart. For racing, a separate weight box can hold up to 15 kg of ballast and has a provision for fitting a transponder. Less maintenance: The GR KART uses a belt-drive system with an automatic tensioner, removing the need for periodic belt-tension adjustment. The engine also has a built-in self-charging battery, so owners do not need to install or separately charge another battery. A primer pump draws fuel into the carburettor before starting, reducing the preparation required before driving. Built to last: Toyota has fitted the kart with a rust-resistant stainless-steel rear axle shaft and internal metal fuel lines in the fuel tank to reduce deterioration caused by petrol. The GR KART is manufactured by the Gamagori GR KART Workshop in Aichi Prefecture. Toyota says the workshop applies Toyota Production System principles while working to improve manufacturing processes and reduce costs. Safety features: The kart has a bumper designed to reduce the possibility of another kart riding onto its rear tyre during a collision. Rear hub stopper pins are intended to prevent the rear hub from coming loose. Toyota has also paid attention to the seat design, including an area for placing hands when getting in or out and a shape intended to shield hands from the hot muffler. Throttle safeguard: Toyota has also specified a particular method of securing the accelerator cable to help prevent the throttle from unintentionally remaining open. The company says these safety and durability measures are intended to make the kart easier for beginners to use. The GR KART has one seat and is designed for closed-course driving, rather than use on public roads. 43 locations: The GR KART is initially being sold through selected kart tracks and GR Garage locations in Japan, with further expansion planned. As of September 9, there were 36 participating kart-track locations and seven GR Garage locations. Toyota’s chairman Akio Toyoda, who races under the name Morizo, has previously expressed a desire to make motorsport more accessible, with karting serving as an entry point. App for drivers: Toyota is also supporting the kart through its dedicated GR app, which provides information and classroom-style learning content before driving. Users can register through the app and obtain and manage a driver passport. The passport can be used as proof of eligibility for sports driving at participating kart tracks, although some races require additional licences. However, the GR KART cannot be registered for public-road use or fitted with road-use number plates.

This dashcam clip shows a driver looking for the right opportunity to overtake, with both a red Porsche Cayman GT4 and a silver Porsche 911 occupying the road ahead on Nürburgring.

With the track narrowing into the bend, finding a safe gap to pass both cars becomes increasingly difficult the closer they get. The footage captures the patience and timing required to work through Porsche-heavy traffic on one of the Nürburgring's more scenic public stretches.

Can a 707 HP Dodge Charger work as a daily driver?

This car finally drove after a $3 repair - then every warning light came back on

After rebuilding a badly wrecked car, the team takes it on a road trip of more than 1,000 miles toward an abandoned racing circuit outside Barcelona. The nearly 100-year-old track features enormous banked sections reaching around 78 degrees, an extremely rough concrete surface and a history stretching back to the 1920s. Four cars are selected for a challenge to see who can record the highest speed coming off the banking, despite suspension and four-wheel-drive faults appearing almost immediately. The rebuilt car repeatedly hits the rough surface, briefly goes airborne and damages its front splitter while pushing higher up the banking. In the final results, it records 81 MPH, while the winning car reaches 85 MPH on one of the most unusual tracks the group has ever attempted.
