Hey, Let James Bond Drive a Corvette
As the world prepares for a new James Bond, I propose something radical: let the superspy drive a Corvette instead of an Aston Martin.
Welshman Activates James Bond-Like Smoke Screen to Evade Cops
James Bond might have met his match. And his name? Chaplin. Simon Chaplin. Earlier this week, Simon Chaplin was attempting to get away from police in Carmarthenshire in Wales when he decided to pull a James Bond and use a smoke screen to escape. The 62-year-old man flicked a switch on the dashboard of his […]
James Bond Rents Chevy Malibu From Stephen Colbert
James Bond is known for driving the most expensive luxury vehicles imaginable. Unfortunately, his “License to Kill” clearly extends to those beautiful cars. As a car fan, it’s very difficult to think of how most of those luxury cars met an unfortunate end thanks to Mr. Bond or the villains after him (and how many millions […]
How Easily Could James Bond Get Car Insurance Approval?
The release of Spectre, the 24th official James Bond film and fourth starring Daniel Craig, is approaching fast, and its trailer has us wild with excitement.

James Bond Range Rover SUVs Stolen From Set of Spectre
Longtime Bond fans were upset to learn that 007 will be driving a Fiat 500 for a chase sequence in the upcoming Spectre, but at this point, it may be the only set of wheels he has left. It was recently reported that nine vehicles – including five luxury Range Rovers – worth £630,000 (over […]
James Bond Drives a Fiat 500 in Spectre
During his fifty-plus years of movie stardom, Bond has driven a moon buggy, a double-decker bus, a firetruck, a gondola, a 29 horsepower Citroen 2CV, and a dumbass invisible car in the film franchise’s nadir, Die Another Day. Yet the revelation that James Bond drives a Fiat 500 in the upcoming 24th installment of the […]
Check Out Hulu’s “Becoming Bond,” the Story of the Used Car Salesman Who Would Be Bond
To even recognize the name “George Lazenby,” you have to be a somewhat dedicated fan of the James Bond action film franchise (or a casual fan of the Emmanuelle softcore erotica franchise, eight entries of which featured the actor, albeit in a non-sexual role). But if you are a Bond enthusiast like myself, you know […]
New Bond Film Reportedly Crashed $37 Million Worth of Supercars

You can consider those dreams officially […]

But there’s only one thing we were looking for when we first watched […]
RIP Christopher Lee, Driver of One of the Greatest Bond Cars of All Time
Legendary actor Sir Christopher Lee has passed away at the age of 93, after being hospitalized with heart and respiratory problems. Lee’s most iconic role may have been his interpretation of Dracula in the Hammer Horror films of the 1960s, but over the course of his lengthy career, he did (cinematic) battle with a wide […]

James Bond fans have slowly been getting more and more info on the upcoming franchise entry, SPECTRE, which is set to be released November 6, 2015.
