NDOT crews help corral cow ‘on the run' near Las Vegas freeway
The cow had reportedly been seen roaming near Speed Vegas, south of the city near the Sloan Road exit for several days.
Animal control attempted to capture the cow Monday around 10 a.m. but the cow made a run for it 'taking off down Las Vegas Boulevard and even attempting to enter I-15 via the Sloan Road off-ramp,' according to Kelsey McFarland with the Nevada Department of Transportation.
An NDOT crew working on the nearby I-15 South Widening Project quickly jumped into action when it became obvious the cow didn't want to participate.
'Avoiding udder chaos! NDOT crews helped corral a runaway cow that was mooooving a little too close to traffic near Interstate 15 and St. Rose Parkway,' NDOT said on an Instagram post.
At one point, the cow took off in the direction of the M Resort and the NDOT workers used their vehicles to help stop and corner the unwilling cow near Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway where animal control was able to capture it.
'Thankfully, there were no cowlisions and this bovine was brought to safety by animal control,' NDOT's post on social media said.

New image reveals Kia could soon launch transforming EV: 'Something I want to see more of'
Kia's futuristic electric van may soon hit American roads, according to The Korean Car Blog. The Kia PV5 prototype was recently spotted by Instagram user Chris Higa (@chrisediting) undergoing testing in Arizona, a sign that the automaker could be preparing the multipurpose electric vehicle for a U.S. release. The PV5 isn't your average electric van. It's the first major launch in Kia's Platform Beyond Vehicle initiative, which is centered on flexibility. Thanks to its modular upper body design, the PV5 can morph from a passenger shuttle to a cargo van, delivery vehicle, or even robotaxi. It's essentially one vehicle with many uses, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for fleet operators, small businesses, and rideshare companies. Kia's desert test run is a big deal. Arizona's extreme heat pushes EV battery systems to their limits, and testing there is usually a sign that a vehicle is being prepared for the North American market. If the PV5 makes it stateside, it'll join a growing list of EV options available to U.S. drivers. EVs come with benefits such as lower fuel costs, minimal maintenance, and zero tailpipe pollution — plus, they're quieter and offer smoother drives than their gas-powered cousins. While some critics worry about the pollution tied to EV battery production, data shows the bigger picture favors EVs over internal combustion engine vehicles. ICE vehicles release about 350 grams of carbon per mile over their lifetimes, compared to just 200 for EVs running on the average U.S. grid. Plus, EV battery materials can be recycled, unlike fossil fuels, which are burned and lost forever. EV ownership can be even cheaper for drivers who install solar panels at home. Charging with solar power can lower monthly costs when compared to using public stations or relying on the grid. For anyone interested in exploring this option, EnergySage offers vetted quotes from local solar providers and can help homeowners save up to $10,000 on installations. Social media users have already taken notice of the PV5's flexible design and sleek test images. "That van is something I want to see more of. Hope it becomes available in U.S.," one Instagrammer commented. Another added: "It would be interesting to see! If sold in the U.S. to compete with the VW ID Buzz, it could make vans/minivans popular again." A third chimed in, saying, "I'd drive it." Would you be more likely to drive an EV if you could charge it in 5 minutes? Yes Depends on the cost No way I already have an EV Click your choice to see results and speak your mind.

'The Oldest of American Traditions:' Car Experts Say the DMV Knows People Lie About How Much Cars Cost. What If You Get Caught?
A skit about people lying about how much the car they just bought cost is making people on the internet nostalgic. Instagram user Driveway Finds (@driveway_finds) is a page dedicated to car comedy from Dustin Hallinan and John Birto. In a since-deleted video posted on Aug. 1, the duo portrays a personal vehicle sale between friends. Cash in excess of $500 and a car title exchange hands. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure monitors the situation from afar. 'The DMV knowing you aren't buying cars for '$500' but they can't prove it,' reads the on-screen text. Paying Taxes on Used Vehicles Let's take Texas , for example. In the Lone Star state, buyers who buy from private sellers are obligated to pay a 6.25 percent sales tax on either the purchase price or standard presumptive value (SPV). How do you know which one? You guessed it—whichever is higher. How does the state prevent people from doing what's portrayed in the skit? Well, if you tell the DMV that you paid way less than the vehicle is actually worth, you'll have to get the car appraised and pay sales tax on that amount. However, it's important to note that the law exempts certain vehicles from this requirement. Those include New vehicles Vehicles purchased from licensed dealers Vehicles bought at a foreclosure auction Vehicles that are 25 years old Dirt bikes and ATVs Salvaged vehicles Vehicles sold through storage lien Gifts Even-trade vehicles Viewers React to the Skit In the comments section, many viewers vented their frustration with the tax system in the United States. 'There should be no tax the second time something's sold,' wrote one person. 'Stop taxing the same thing over and over.' 'Remember kids: Not paying taxes is the oldest of American traditions,' wrote another user. Others offered strategies for getting around this rule. 'Mine are all $100,' joked one person. A second person simply said, 'Writing 'gift.'' ''Engine blew' is my favorite line,' wrote a third person. Is It a Good Idea to Fib on the Purchase Price? A Reddit user posed this question to r/AskReddit about 15 years ago after agreeing with a private seller to list a lower purchase price of a used vehicle he'd just acquired. 'Has anyone gone through this? What does the DMV catch things like this? What would the consequences be if caught?' the person asked. One person in the comments replied, 'I don't think I have ever heard of a person NOT doing this.' A second person agreed. 'Unless you make it SO obvious that the price you gave is phony, they aren't going to care,' they wrote. But what are the consequences if you do get caught? Well, it depends on where you live and where you purchased the car. In Utah , for instance, car buyers who underreport the purchase price of their used car can be subject to a 100% fraud penalty. That means you'll be required to pay double the amount you underreported. Motor1 reached out to Driveway Finds via Instagram direct message and email for comment.

Hankook Is Leading the Pack Through Tech, Testing and Some Serious Track Time
25 drivers, all in 620 horsepower, V10 race cars, fighting across the globe in the most rigorous conditions, on the most demanding tracks. The weather is dynamic, the drivers' skill varies, but one thing ties everything together: Hankook tires. Since 2023, Hankook has been the exclusive global supplier for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, supplying every Huracán EVO2 on the grid with its tires, both slicks for dry and wet for rain. Working closely with Lamborghini's motorsport division, Squadra Corse, Hankook developed the tires not only for competition and performance, but within strict regulations and technical guidelines set within the one-make race. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hypedrive (@hypedrive) 'To be selected as the official tire for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, we conducted extensive real-vehicle testing under a variety of demanding conditions, including high-speed driving, high-speed cornering, and high-temperature environments,' admitted a Hankook representative when asked about the exclusive partnership. 'Evaluations were carried out on multiple circuits – such as Jerez, Vallelunga, Monza, and Sepang – tailored to the performance characteristics of the Lamborghini Huracán EVO2. In particular, to assess high-speed stability and durability, we adjusted the vehicle setup to even more extreme conditions in order to test the limits of the tire's performance. We also conducted thorough comparisons between prototype and mass-production products to ensure consistent quality.' This level of attention to detail reminds us of similar conditions you'd normally find in other high-demand, extremely low tolerance environments, namely tech industries and the medical field. So why does Hankook go to this extreme? To prove that its tires – including the all-new Ventus Evo Z – not only meets but far exceeds the demands of its sports car drivers, the conditions of your every day road, and the max performance required from your vehicle. 1 of 7 2 of 7 3 of 7 4 of 7 5 of 7 6 of 7 7 of 7 Testing at the Technoring Hankook invited us to its private testing facility – the aptly named Technoring – situated in Taean, South Korea, considerably far from Seoul. Once arriving and realizing the sheer size of it all – 1.26 million sq. meters, or 125 football fields – it was clear why Asia's largest testing track needed separation from the city. Nevertheless, each testing ground within the Technoring we experienced was more impressive than the next. Dry course. Wet course. High speed oval. Rough terrain simulation. The Technoring is meant to be an all-encompassing proving ground that allows absolute control and verification of what its tires can do, mimicking anything and everything the tires would happen to encounter on the road. There's even a patch of road with purposefully placed potholes and a municipal sewer cap, just like the one down the block from you. Alongside pro drivers and instructors, we were able to test Hankook's range of Ventus tires on a selection of these grounds, while fitted to the fastest, most extreme sports cars. We also got to try out the Ventus Evo Z model exclusively, prior to its global launch. 1 of 6 2 of 6 3 of 6 4 of 6 5 of 6 6 of 6 The Ferrari 488 Pista on Ventus tires allowed us to experience grip levels on the dry circuit, while the wet course gave us the chance to explore grip levels when the road gets slippery. Our high speed oval taxi ride put us shotgun in both a 660-hp Ford GT and a $3 million USD Bugatti Chiron. The Ventus tires explored the dichotomy between speed and stability and resulted in highly impressive performance in both regards. For its Gymkhana autocross handling track, we got behind the wheel of one of the best handling cars on the market, a Porsche 911 Targa 4S, on which the brand new flagship Ventus Evo Z gave us complete confidence around the tight hairpins and slaloms. And all of this during extreme near-100°F temperatures. All day. We were particularly impressed with the Ventus Evo Z, the brand's most hardcore model that's track-ready while still being streetable. According to the representative, the Evo Z represents a no-compromise approach to performance, factoring cornering, grip, braking and balance across its extreme tire pattern. From its asymmetrical in-out tread pattern to its race tire-originating solid resin compound with a high softening point, the Evo Z far exceeds the highest demands of today's modern sports cars, all while somehow still keeping with efforts towards environmental sustainability. Technology at the Technodome '[Our tires are] engineered to deliver optimal safety on both dry and wet surfaces, taking into account real-world driving conditions,' our representative stated, as we continued our Hankook tour. 'The key differentiator of the Ventus Evo is its outstanding performance without trade-offs.' Our visit behind the scenes continued to Daejeon, South Korea at Hankook's Technodome, a massive private facility that's home to the brand's design and development center. Designed by architecture firm Foster + Partners and measuring 96,347 sq. meters in size, the Technodome more resembled an isolated futuristic civilization than what most would call their office. Within the facility, there were dedicated labs organically arranged to the tire production process that focused on their individual duties – compound, design stations, testing zones and more. Each room's clear, visible glass allowed not only visitors to peer through and tour the facility, but staff to understand the unity between development and deployment – everything comes full circle at the end. 1 of 7 2 of 7 3 of 7 4 of 7 5 of 7 6 of 7 7 of 7 But Hankook wanted us to relate to the product and its development further, and gave us two very relatable examples. The first was the anechoic chamber – a noise isolation room completely filled with sound deadening materials, much like in a recording studio. The purpose of this room was to examine and record the noise each tire makes, down to individual decibels. Hankook explained that more than 17 separate microphones record the noise the tire and its tread makes on a rolling road, allowing engineers and developers to fine tune designs as needed to reach an optimal noise level. The second was the vehicle simulator room – a giant open floor with an actual 1:1 vehicle wrapped by a 180° digital screen that acts as an enormous sim setup. While it may seem like overkill to replicate a 1:1 driving simulator to this size, Hankook explained that it didn't want a compromise when it came to remote testing of its tires and the data it compiles. The simulator room is based on a racing track setup and gathers data from real-world race tracks, the tires it develops, and even auto manufacturers' cars to simulate driving, handling, acceleration and braking tests, all within the comfort of one room. The software is developed in-house at Hankook and showcases the high performance of Ventus tires, derived from motorsport technology. Hankook proudly confirms it is the only tire company in South Korea with this setup. All of this technology yields results: 46 global automotive manufacturers across 320 car models use Hankook tires as OEM (original manufacturer equipment, or the tires you find on the car straight from factory). And it isn't as simple as just fitting the right size; certain brands, like BMW, Audi, and Porsche, require specific parameters from Hankook on their tires in order for it to perform as expected. Tuning house BRABUS even commissions a custom Hankook tire design for its exorbitant, bespoke builds. '[Our tires are] engineered to deliver optimal safety on both dry and wet surfaces, taking into account real-world driving conditions.' Teamwork at the Technoplex Our last stop took us to Hankook's HQ, also known as the Technoplex. Similarly impressive in size and design and also designed by Foster + Partners, the Technoplex is where the minds within Hankook come together and create the business behind the tires. During our tour we encountered multiple key-words that explained why Hankook is a leader in the industry – 'cohesive,' 'transparent,' 'collaborative.' Much like industries that create world-changing products, Hankook's approach towards its business is very much towards a team effort where they work together as a whole rather than individually within their own silos. It's quite enviable, impressive, and simply awe inspiring. 1 of 6 2 of 6 3 of 6 4 of 6 5 of 6 6 of 6 Each department member is encouraged to mingle and mix with their coworkers, removing rigid guidelines and secrecy from the equation. Windows are transparent, seating plans are open, tables are communal. In a country where traditional hierarchical structures dictate how things are done with no deviation, the Hankook Technoplex stands alone and gives a bright future not only to the company's direction, but the products it develops. And in order for Hankook to create future-minded tires with innovative features like RFID embeds, eco-friendly tire compounds and sustainable business efforts, a proactiv and collaborative team mentality isn't just a good idea, it's vital. 'Today, cutting-edge technologies such as eco-friendly materials, fuel-efficient designs, and smart sensor-equipped tires are being actively integrated into modern tire development,' confirmed Hankook. 'The advancement of tire technology has progressed hand-in-hand with the evolution of automobiles.'
