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. This entry in 007’s history will undoubtedly be packed with double-crosses, tense gun-play, and a cavalcade of car chases. As entertaining as the Bond films have been over the […]

Car and comedy (and coffee, we suppose) enthusiasts, rejoice: Jerry Seinfeld’s Acura-sponsored web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has returned!

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 […]
Ohio Sheriff Uses James-Bond-Level GPS Dart Gadget To Stop Crime
Sometimes, I think that the world would be a lot more interesting if we could all use James-Bond-style hidden gadgets, like phones hidden in tissue boxes and such. Now, it seems that police in Lucas County, Ohio, are living in interesting times, because they have outfitted their cruisers with a device straight out of a […]
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 […]

[VIDEO] Spectre Trailer Gives Us Glimpse at Bond’s Cars
After months of teasing, Sony Pictures has finally released the full-length trailer for the upcoming James Bond movie, Spectre. As you might expect, it’s full of all the things that make Bond the best—fast cars, attractive women, Britishness, and plenty of explosions. 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.

Meet Your New Bond Car: The Aston Martin DB10
It’s already been a really great couple of weeks for sequels to massive movie franchises, even if there is seemingly always something for people to complain about. We began with Jurrassic World (MOSASAURUS IS NOT A DINOSAUR!), segued into Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens (CROSSGUARDS ON A LIGHTSABER? THAT’S STUPID!), and also made room […]
