Just after we posted footage of Travis Pastrana launching his STi over 250-feet on New Year's Eve comes footage of Monster Energy team member Johnny Greaves propelling his truck over 310-feet to take the current world record for 4-wheel-drives.

Crazy muthas.

Remember the Countach skipping over a lake in Canonball Run 3? Mythbusters recently decided they'd try and see if the stunt was workable, first trying it out on a scale version, then with a Pontiac Fiero and a real lake.

We wish we could tell you that these stunts are successful, but we just don't know, as the Mythbusters guys have cleverly cut each video short to make you either go to their website or watch the TV show to see the full thing.

Seems like everyone is getting their own iPhone applications these days. However, considering there's over 90,000 of the buggers in circulation right now, it's probably not too hard to fathom.

Top Gear are the latest to release their own, this time reprising the 'Cool Wall' concept as a game.

For $1.99 you can spend hours trying to guess what cars are cool and which are uncool. But considering that there seems to be no scientific method for deciding which are cool and which are uncool on the TV show, we're not sure how anyone else is going to be able to figure it out and get the right answers.

The reviews page has raised some concerns over cropped images of vehicles and whatnot, however Top Gear claim updates are coming, so buyer beware until then.

Of course he did!

ravis Pastrana drove his Red Bull Subaru WRX STI off of a boat-mounted ramp, over 250-or-so feet of water, and onto another ramp floating on a barge. In earlier practices for the jump, at first he didn't stick the landing, then he skipped the landing part entirely. The New Year's event would be for keeps, though.

It seems like an age since they started talking about Gran Turismo 5, with teasers, screen shots and other whatnots floating around. Hopefully with the release of this cover art, featuring the new Mercedes SLS-AMG on the front, we're not too far away from being able to play the actual game.

We don't know about you, but we suck at video games. Some out there have an unnerving natural ability, like the guy in the following video who can perform incredible drifting maneuvers in Forza 3.

We don't need to say any more; just check out the video.
