Hooniverse Asks: Why do we buy these old cars?
/
/
comments
Do you ever think it would be nice to have a modern car to use on a daily basis? Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to say goodbye to my car from 1991, my car from 1986, and the car from 1984 that hasn’t had an engine in (let me check my notes)…

Time to do something I said I wouldn’t… put a tent on the roof of my old Montero
/

comments
I said I wasn’t going to put a roof on top of my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. Plans change. Especially when those plans change to work around an incredibly light bit of kit that I can easily take on and off my truck. The fine folks at Go Fast Campers reached out to see if I…

comments
I don’t ride motorcycles, but I’m fascinated by motorcycle protection. From armored-up jeans to full Bubble Boy outfits, there are a ton of options for gear. And one of the more interesting families of motorcycle gear is the air protection system built into the Dainese Smart Jacket. Now it’s apparently even better because Dainese has…

2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring – Best car ever?
/
/
comments
I swear a lot in this video… and it’s the car’s fault. The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is pretty much anything I could ever want in a sports car. You have amazing power and noise from the 4.0-liter flat-six engine out back, a tremendous gearbox with the six-speed stick, and levels of performance upon which…

Whenever we go back east, my wife, daughter, and I cover a few miles. That’s because family is spread between New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Thankfully, my job allows me the ability to snag vehicles a fair bit better than what’s available at the local rental lots. And I did just that on…

You can help bring this American Motors documentary to life

comments
Remember AMC? That would be the American Motors Corporation, born from the smashed-together ashes of Nash and Hudson. The AMC brand produced sweet rides like the Rambler, Eagle, Javelin, and more. For a while, AMC owned Jeep, and we got the legendary Jeep 4.0-liter engine. But the company ran into money trouble, partnered with French…

Our friend Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained was enjoying seat time in the new Nissan Z when disaster nearly struck. He was on track, exiting a corner and heading onto a straight when he shifted from third to second. The gear he was looking for was fourth. Thankfully, for both Jason and the Z, he…
