Seahawks’ Fred Jackson Crashes His Corvette while Drag Racing with Marshawn Lynch

On this episode of when drag racing goes wrong....

Seattle Seahawks running back Fred Jackson crashed his black Corvette outside the team facility in Renton on Tuesday after drag racing with teammate Marshawn Lynch who we thought would be driving his Lamborghini Aventador but according to witnesses, he was in a Dodge Charger instead. Hopefully it was a Hellcat.

Luckily, it sounds like Jackson wasn't hurt. His Corvette on the other hand, may need a little TLC.

It’s Time for a Cadillac VMax

Here’s How the CTS-V Can Go From Very Good to Great
The Cadillac CTS-V is a very good super sedan. You can tell by just ogling the stats. The supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 engine creates 640 hp and 630 lb-ft of torque. Weighing in at about 4,100 pounds, the CTS-V weighs less then the fat, German competition. You've also got big Brembo brakes, Michelin Super Sport tires, GM's exceptional Alpha platform, and the so-good-Ford's-now-using-them Delphi magnetic dampers.

Joey Logano Buys A 1924 Ford Model T

NASCAR star, Joey Logano is used to rubbing fenders in his Ford at 200-mph but it seems the Sprint Cup Series driver also likes to potter about in a 1924 Ford Model T.

Having won the 2015 Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Speedway on Sunday, maybe Logano spent his winnings on the little Model T?

Here's what he said about his new(ish) Ford: "Cruising down the road in my new @ford...well at least new to me! 1924 Model T"

Travis Barker’s Cadillac Escalade is on Point

Travis Barker shared a photo of his blacked out Cadillac Escalade after the guys at Platinum Motorsport worked their magic recently and we have to say, while Beckham is usually the king of blacked-out rides, Barker's Escalade looks better than Beckham's. What do you think?

Lewis Hamilton Collaborates With MV Agusta

Tyga Damages His Rolls Royce With Kylie in the Passenger Seat

Tyga has only had his grey Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe five minutes and he has already dented it, with girlfriend Kylie Jenner as passenger.

The incident took place outside of the Hollywood hot spot 1Oak when Tyga turned onto a side street and waited to pull into a parking lot. Paparazzi swarmed the car, preventing Tyga from driving on, so I guess some of the blame is with them and their blinding camera flashes (Kylie is seen shielding her eyes), and equally to blame was the Rolls Royce behind them - if you are going to crash a Rolls Royce, you may as well hit another $400K car. Either impatient or misjudging the space between the two Rollers, the second Rolls Royce drove into the side of Tyga's Phantom. One of the staff guiding traffic even shouted, “Move the f*ck out of the way, stupid motherf*ckers!”

Nothing was hurt apart from a few wallets, a couple of car panels, and a whole lot of pride. Once the couple had parked up, they eventually hit the club, so all would've been forgotten until the following morning.

Cliff Avril Adds Some Sick Rides to his Collection

We knew Seahawks defensive end, Cliff Avril was rolling tough in a matte black Mercedes-Benz G63 since we featured it last year after he took it to Rich B. Caliente in Miami but it doesn't stop there. Avril's collection has grown and he's currently featured on the latest DUB Magazine proudly displaying the rest of his all-black cars including his Ferrari 458 Spider and classic 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.

We love that Avril's always been a car guy and we can't wait to see what he adds next.

“As soon as I got my first car - a Mazda Protégé - I saved up enough money to put some 17s on it. Got it lowered, added exhaust tips… Haha, I thought I was doing my thing on it.”

Hey, we all start somewhere right! Check out the full DUB article here.

Clarkson Shows Off His VW Golf GTI

Despite the enormous pressure VW are under at the moment due to their diesel engine emissions software scandal, the most outspoken and influential car guy on the planet has purchased a Golf GTI.

Jeremy Clarkson has also taken time out from the production of his new Amazon Prime format to defend the German company. In true Jezza style, the ex Top Gear presenter used phrases like, "eco mentalists" and "soft-in-the-head governments", perhaps making a more important statement relating to the damaging aftermath: “The fallout would be immense because [it] owns Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda as well. So they'd also go to the wall.”

Clarkson also took to twitter and released photos of his new VW Golf GTI, his comments: "I'm happy with my new car", and “This is why I bought it. Couldn't give a stuff about how much nitrogen it's producing”.

Although nitrogen is a speciality of the diesel engine and Jezza's turbo-charged 2.0-L petrol GTI produces more CO2 than nitrogen, we know what he is getting at - despite VW breaking all the rules, manufactures are producing cars with powerful yet impressively economical engines, and ultimately VW's deception isn’t enough to drive customers into buying Japanese or Korean vehicles over German.

The Game Turns His Jeep Into A UFO

As if The Game's Jeep isn't lurid enough, the rapper decided to have his orange 4X4 customized with off road lights and infrared projectors.

Stumble across this ride at night and you'd surely expect Mulder and Scully to put in an appearance.

Meek Mill Valets His Banshee

Rap artists may have the cash to drive the best cars the globe has to offer but Meek Mill know's that the fun factor doesn't always have to come from Italy or Europe. He may own some expensive rides, including his white Rolls Royce, Bentley and Corvette, but the smiles are all there when it comes to giving his Banshee quad a quick ride.

The star shared his Yamaha with the words "activate!" and "valet the Banshee!"

Bam’s Selling His Lambo

Bam Margera's Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster is now in the same situation as the Gallardo he purchased after the 2006 Gumball - it's being replaced. Although this time, it seems it's not going to be replaced with a car.

"A decision has been made. I'm getting rid of this thing. Because a wish of a dear friend is looking for a 58 black Beauty gibson. So I'm gonna find one."

It may seem extreme having to sell a Lambo just to buy a guitar, but considering Les Paul's 1954 Black Beauty Gibson sold for $335, 500, Bam has obviously done his home work.

The Jackass star is also extremely generous.

Video: Jay Leno’s Thoughts on the Tesla P90D

The Tesla P90D is fast. Zero-60 in 2.8 seconds fast. And like you'd expect, this speed comes with a price tag and it's not cheap. In the video below, Jay Leno talks Tesla and wether or not he thinks the $120,000 price tag is worth it.

Tune in to Jay Leno's new show, "Jay Leno's Garage" tonight, Oct. 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CNBC.
