Petrolicious introduces us to lifelong gearhead Hans-Michael Gerischer. He started with VW Beetles, then moved on to a Porsche 964 to try track racing. As he got better at driving, he would tweak his car to suit his needs. Now he restores 911s as a side gig.

The 560th Flying Training Squadron invited SmarterEveryDay for a test flight in the trusty Northrop T-38 Talon, a supersonic trainer jet used by the US Air Force and NASA. It gives us a thrilling glimpse of just how hard it is to handle such powerful birds.

Burger Fiction’s visual sampler of Tom Hanks’ film and TV work from 1980 to 2016. One the few actors who’s equally prolific in comedy and drama, Hank’s notable roles are too many to mention. Which makes you wonder why he did the Da Vinci flicks.

A slightly more toned down and twangy version of Ozzy Osbourne’s metal classic, performed live by bluegrass band Iron Horse, accompanied by Orchestra Sul Ponticello. From the album Black & Bluegrass.

Drivers Justin Oquendo, Ryan Kibbe, and Ken Block take on Chris Forsberg, Dustin Jones, and Ballistic BJ Baldwin, kicking up dirt for days in the widebody Can-AM Maverick X3 ATV, with its crazy 24″ of suspension travel, 15″ of ground clearance, and speedy 154hp turbo 4 engine.

Stop-motion animator PES dusted off one of his classic clips, and remastered it in HD for us to enjoy. This spot for Steve-O’s now defunct skatewear brand Sneaux will put a smile on your face in exchange for just 30 seconds of your day.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Danny Elfman’s theme song from The Simpsons performed a capella, but it’s definitely the first time we’ve seen it performed in creepy yellow makeup and blue hairdos. Thanks for the nightmare fuel, The Warp Zone.

YouTube gaming critic George Weidman aka Super Bunnyhop gives us an overview of Japan’s thriving arcade industry. A combination of cramped homes, pedestrian-friendly streets and abundant coins have kept Japanese arcades alive and evolving.

A natural follow-up to their supercut of memorable character entrances, the folks at CineFix assembled some of the most powerful exits from the big screen, and explores why they had so much impact. You’re gonna need a box of Kleenex for this one.

“I will actually know real happiness when I run into it again.” Patton Oswalt recently won an Emmy but it felt empty without his wife, who passed away earlier this year. At Conan, he articulated how his loss caused a profound shift in his understanding of happiness.

Adam Conover looks at Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico from a completely practical standpoint. This monstrosity would cost us tens of billions, assuming it could actually be built and staffed, and not solve the problem it’s intended to fix.

In 2014, pilot Mark Penell encountered a problem that would have caused lesser men to panic. His single-seat Rans S-10 airplane lost its propeller mid-flight. But Mark kept his cool, and brought the plane in for a safe landing without its primary means of propulsion.

The first episode of The Simpsons’ 28th season (daaaamn!) kicked off with a recreation of Adventure Time’s opening sequence, except it’s filled with Springfield’s citizens. It even has Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward singing a variant of his show’s tune.

With the U.S. Presidential debate’s viewership right up there with the Superbowl, Audi decided to run a commercial spot right up there with the best of them. Just like the debate, a man and woman are fighting over the ticket, but for a very different reason. Bravo, Audi. Bravo.

The beautiful purple and orange hues of dawn breaking over England’s Poole Harbor are usually enough motivation for Dave Mott to walk his dog along the shore. But one day, he came across something extra special. A solitary Japanese Sika deer bounding along the beach.

Danny Lacey’s short film follows a seemingly ordinary man who found notoriety after claiming he was abducted by aliens as a boy. In the end, there are more questions than answers, but we still appreciated Lacey’s style and storytelling approach.

A brilliantly simple way to create two-point perspective drawings by fixing a piece of elastic string to the two edges of your image, then pulling it up and down with a paper clip. It doesn’t provide a hard straight-edge, but it’s still a cool hack.

DragTimes presents a quarter-mile drag race between two cars coming from opposite ends and meeting in the middle. In the red corner, we have a comfortable and mild-mannered entry level supercar. In the blue corner is a family sedan, albeit the world’s quickest one.

Last time we checked in with domino dominator Lily Hevesh, she had created the most amazing spiral setup we’ve ever seen. While this setup isn’t nearly as spectacular, it’s still fun to try and figure out which domino route will be fastest. Place your bets!
