Well, Jerry’s back, and this time he’s got Howard Stern, Tina Fey, Patton Oswald, Louis C.K. and a bunch of other funny people all riding around in cool stuff.
This is the trailer for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Season 3, so check it out after the jump.

It seems that Jerry Seinfeld feels that car ads these days are less then stellar. In fact ever since he’s been doing “Comedian’s in Cars Getting Coffee”, he’s become very opinionated on the matter. You see, Seinfeld wants to interject a bit of levity into car ads, something that the manufacturers may not appreciate. Personally, I think the man is dead to rights with his thinking. After all, cars should be fun right? So why not project a little when you’re trying to sell them.

One of the best parts about Jay Leno being a car guy is that he truly does do the hobby proud. He doesn’t discriminate against brands, loves both old and new technology and drives the crap out of everything he owns every chance he gets. This is an older episode where Jay is kind enough to treat us all to a ride in his 1986 Lamborghini Countach, a car that adolescent boys still dream about.

With the recent crop of automotive films such as SENNA, RUSH, and Patrick Dempsey: Racing Le Mans, I figured I’d post something up about a film that very few motor-heads actually know about. Love the Beast was the brainchild of actor Eric Bana, and tells the story of his first car – an old Ford XB Falcon. With appearances from Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and believe it or not Dr. Phill (really?) Love the Beast is one of those rare films that explains exactly why we love cars so damn much.

We sometimes forget that not everyone who owns a special car has to be an automobile enthusiast. For example, this is Lenny Hochteil and his 1981 Delorean time machine. Lenny describes himself as a “movie car guy” as opposed to an enthusiast, and he owns this particular car because of the way it makes him feel. Now, is there anything wrong with that? Well no, nothing at all as Lenny’s passion for this Delorean is the type of car that gets people excited and makes them ask questions about the hobby. Movie cars, race cars, daily drivers… it honestly doesn’t matter as we love them all.

I wonder if I should point out to Dodge that even though they now have Ron Burgundy as their pitchman for the new 2014 Dodge Durango, that he is in fact a Pontiac guy. Seriously, he drove a 1970 Pontiac Catalina in his last movie, which, as we all know is a bitching ride if there ever was one. I’ve got to hand it to these guys though as the new Durango is actually a really nice ride. It’s got seating for 7, 360 hp and some of the best sheet metal we’ve seen on an SUV in quite some time. So, with that being said, check out the Ron Burgundy spots after the jump and prepare to revel in everything from the big HEMI V8, to the massive amounts of storage in the glove box.

When the Tumbler first broke onto the silver screen as Batman’s new ride in Christopher Nolan’s 2005 Batman Begins, it cemented itself as an instant movie classic. It was bigger, badder and burlier than any other Batmobile that came before it, and looked to be a cross between a stealth fighter and a Mack truck. The cool part however is that this is an actual running and driving car and not just some movie prop as Jay Leno recently found out.

The Nissan GT-R has now gained the status of being the “most compared to” car in the world. It’s the benchmark and the car that every other performance car is measured against. However with all its performance bells and whistles, the biggest complaint amongst enthusiasts is its sheer lack of driver engagement. Motor Trend’s Justin Bell recently got behind the wheel of the new GT-R and had some curious reactions to a car that should’ve (on paper anyway) blown him away.

This week on Jay Leno’s Garage, Jay Leno’s crew got the inside track on one of the coolest shows in Southern, CA, the Pixar Motorama 2013. This is a show that is put on for only the employees of Pixar Studios – you know, those guys who made the movie Cars, Toy Story and Wall•E. Everything from John Lasseter’s Woodie, to Steve McQueen’s Jaguar was on hand for the cameras to capture, so make sure to click through and check it out.

Can u believe that at one time David Hasselhoff and a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am were considered to be cool? The Trans Am was pretty trick for back in the day. It featured bullet-proof glass, a turbo system that let it jump over buildings and two TV screens. Oh, and it also talked and acted as the automotive guardian for the Hoff. Now, building TV replicas is nothing new. However the majority of the time people do more harm to the cars than good. This one though is simply outstanding. Love the show or hate it, you’ve got to admit that this fans’ Trans Am is one pretty slick ride.
