Hooniverse Asks: What would you like to talk about?

comments
It’s hard to find a subject to talk about this morning. My brain is fogged up by a whole lot of negativity that exists in the world. Maybe yours is too. So instead of me posing a specific question today, I’d love to just hear about anything you want to talk about. Literally any subject…

Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the Toyota 4Runner. To celebrate, Toyota is launching an appealing package called the 40th Anniversary Special Edition.

/

comments
It’s not the 300-Series Land Cruiser, but the 2022 Lexus LX 600 is pretty darn close. We no longer get the Cruiser here in North America as the LX 600 is now the defacto full-bore big off-roader from the Toyota family. And that’s actually not bad when you consider it has a powerful twin-turbocharged V6,…

comments
Ron and I are both considering selling one of our vehicles. This is to fund more nonsense. Which ones do we want to sell and what is the plan if we do sell? We dive into that and also talk about the new Escalade-V, the Hoonipigasus, and answer a bunch of questions. If you’d prefer…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a modern vehicle spec rooted in some layer of history?

comments
Weird question, I know. The reason I ask it is that I’m spending the week in a 2022 Lexus LX600. This is now our Land Cruiser here in North America. It’s a fancified 300-Series yet it’s still quite a capable machine even if it gives up some off-road extras. It doesn’t get front and rear…

I need to own this so badly it physically hurts me. What you’re looking at is an ex-factory Mitsubishi racer from 1985. This is a Pajero born to battle the Dakar rally. And it’s also for sale. The listing is short on details. If you want to know more you’re going to have to email…

The Hoonipigasus is a perfectly ridiculous Pikes Peak-prepped Porsche
/

comments
Ken Block is heading to the 100th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and he’s arriving with a monster in tow. This beastly creation is called the Hoonipigasus. It’s a heavily modified Porsche 911 made to look both vintage in spots, yet Time Attack-capable in others. Designed with BBi Autosports, the car features an AWD setup…

Cadillac has jumped up its full-size SUV into an insane performance space. This is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V and it’s the most powerful, most expensive, and quickest version of the big rig ever made. Lift the hood and you’ll find a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that produces 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque. This is…
