If we're to believe this Craigslist posting (spotted by Pop Candy), then Sarah Michelle Gellar bought a new car right before embarking on her Buffy the Vampire Slayer journey in 1996. This '95 Chrysler Le Baron convertible is said to have been purchased by Gellar when it was new, and now the current owner is letting it go for just under $3,000. A Le Baron? This all sounds very familiar! They write: more ›

The future ain't what it used to be: scientists are running out of time to get Nexus-6 models and Voight-Kampff machines ready for 2019, when the events of Blade Runner will come to pass. But at least they're developing other technologies from our favorite films and TV shows! Nike recently announced Back To The Future shoes (although it's a bummer they don't tie themselves), and now some Swiss scientists are developing a real life Knight Rider car, with a Minority Report twist—the car can read its driver's mind and predict his or her next move! more ›

A fourth-year nursing student in Brooklyn got one heck of a pop quiz yesterday, helping deliver a healthy baby girl in the back of a Nissan on Flatbush Avenue. The special delivery came around 9:45 a.m. as 24-year-old Crystal Cardona was trying to get to the hospital with her fiancé. Before they could go, though, the little girl inside Cardona apparently decided she was ready to come out right now. Luckily, the woman's neighbor noticed the commotion outside in the nick of time: Aionga Pereira, a nursing student at Long Island University College, grabbed a clean towel from her apartment and ran outside. "She was having a baby in the backseat of a car," Pereira recalled. "I’m really just happy that I did OB (obstetrics) last semester," she later joked to the Post. "But that didn’t take the nervousness away." more ›

The Dark Knight Rises has started filming, with planned shoots in India, London, Pittsburgh, and New York City (it will be filming under the names Magnus Rex and Fox Hills Green, so stay alert for signs). Currently the crew is in London, where they've been filming at the new Wayne Manor. In Batman Begins, the former Rothschild estate, Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire, was used for Wayne Manor's exterior. This time around they're using Wollaton Hall in Nottingham. But in the storyline, it's explained that Wayne Manor is actually "near the outer city limits in a neighborhood called the Palisades." more ›

The best thing about the banana car driving around New York City right now is that it doesn't seem to be some sort of marketing gimmick set forth by the Banana Council of America, or whatever. These brothers just wanted to make a car that looked like a banana, so they did! According to Runnin' Scared, Steve Braithwaite and his brother Spade created it after the former "glanced at a bowl of bananas at a gas station and thought, 'I could build a banana car!'" more ›

An up-and-coming Democratic politician from the Bronx drove off of the Bronx River Parkway, allegedly after a fight with a lady friend, yesterday morning. Bronx district leader Michael Robles, 28, and a 22-year-old female companion survived the 30-foot fall without a scratch. The car landed on top of a pickup truck in the parking lot of Bronx Police District 12. Or as one commenter comically put it at Thee Rant, "He deliberately kamikazied the District 12 parking lot as a protest against the NYPD!!" more ›

Unless you live in Tunisia, Facebook has been doing more harm than good lately, between selling your info to advertisers and hosting "Nassau County's Nasty List." But now Facebook has taken an even darker turn, after the social networking site became sentient and ran a woman over with a car in Nassau County on Monday. Where will it end, Facebook? more ›

Clearly hearing stories of the big-time from his pals in the Bronx toilet system, one Florida Corn Snake decided it was time for him to take his shot at fame in the big city. A Queens man found a 2½-foot-long Corn Snake hiding in his car's engine yesterday morning. His car had just been shipped up from Florida, where the snakes are common (here they're kept mainly as pets). But now that Old St. Patrick's has even more papal power, the city can get in on all that snake-banning business. more ›

As we recently noted, current stats from the 114th Precinct show that robbery is up 10% from last year, burglary is up 7% and grand larceny auto is up 18.9%.

Vallone’s house; we've contacted the Councilman for a comment on the recent crime wave in his neighborhood, and will update when/if we hear back. more ›

You don't often hear stories about mounted NYPD officers defending a police vehicle. Oh sure, there are plenty of stories about guys inadvertently slipping their fingers into horses, and cops shooting at people messing with their cars. But officers on horseback are not normally called upon to protect their mechanical brothers. But one Brooklyn mountie heeded just such a call early this morning. more ›

It's the end of another long work week, and people need a way to blow off steam. And sometimes shooting pool or drinking beers just doesn't cut it. No, sometimes you need to grab your trusty pickaxe and bash some cars. more ›

Is there anything more American than having a public temper-tantrum that almost tears the country apart and jump starts a religious war? There is one thing: getting a free car out of it. Mustachioed kook Pastor Terry Jones got just that for not burning Korans a month ago. more ›
