This is the reason Japan became a black hole for stolen Ferraris

A series of rare Ferrari thefts exposed a long-running pipeline that moved stolen supercars from Europe into Japan. The video traces how wealthy demand, limited supply, and weak scrutiny around imported paperwork helped turn certain cars into high-value targets. Some of the stolen vehicles belonged to major collectors and even Formula 1 drivers, making the cases even more remarkable. Investigators later found that several cars had been given new identities, exported through multiple countries, and quietly registered in Japan. The story reveals how a global theft network kept valuable Ferraris hidden in plain sight for decades.

This is the largest self-powered vehicle on Earth... and NASA built two of them

Before a NASA rocket can blast into space, it first has to make an incredibly slow journey aboard one of the agency’s enormous crawler-transporters. Weighing roughly 2,700 tons each, these machines were originally built during the Apollo era to carry Saturn V rockets from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad, and they later performed the same job for the Space Shuttle. Despite their enormous size, they can precisely position their cargo within fractions of an inch while carrying loads of up to 9,000 tons. Traveling at less than 1.6 kilometers per hour, a crawler can take six to eight hours to reach the launch pad - but after more than half a century of service, these massive machines remain an essential part of NASA’s space program.

Turning a $500 ranger into a $150,000 Baja truck... then tragedy struck

Donut takes a hard look back at the Ranger build that started as a $500 work truck and turned into a $150,000 desert racing machine. The goal was to create a Baja-ready weapon, but the desert punished every weak point—radius arms snapped, alternators failed, body panels cracked, and parts shook loose. The biggest lesson was simple: without real endurance testing, even expensive builds will break. Despite the chaos, the Baja Blaster still managed to finish and take first in class. Now they’re rebuilding the weak points and planning to race it again.

This Aston Martin DBX had only done 2,000 miles - then it was completely submerged underwater

I bought my dad the Aston Martin DBX he's wanted ever since he first saw one, but this particular example comes with a massive catch. Despite having covered only around 2,000 miles, the DBX was completely submerged in floodwater and never ran again afterward. We don't know exactly how deep the water was or how long the car remained submerged, making the condition of its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 a major unknown. The electronics still show signs of life, but attempts to start the Aston Martin haven't been successful. It could turn into an incredible bargain and the perfect surprise for my dad—or one of our most expensive mistakes yet.

Watch what happens when a car outruns the wind behind it

It sounds impossible: a vehicle powered only by wind traveling faster than the wind itself. But with a clever design using wheels and a propeller, this machine extracts energy from the moving air in an unexpected way. Instead of acting like a sail, the propeller pushes air backward, allowing the vehicle to accelerate beyond wind speed. The result is a counterintuitive demonstration that challenges how most people think about motion and energy.
