    No, I didn’t race LeMons – I just wanted to reuse that old photo for no good reason. But I’m using it to launch into today’s question; did you do anything car-related for Mother’s Day? While not car specific, here at Casa de Hooniverse we fired up the Jag to run down to the beach.…

    Our friend Nick Ferrell from DC Vintage Watches is back on the podcast once again. We talk a bit about his old Trooper, modifying car clocks, and then we dive heavy into watch stuff. And we try to understand the vitriol that hard-core watch folks levied at the Omega x Swatch collaboration. If you’d prefer…

    I’ve mentioned this car a few times in the past as it’s one of the most interesting builds out there right now. Mike from StanceWorks has a Ferrari 308 that’s getting a massively built-up Honda engine. It’s also getting a ton of other custom upgrades to turn it into a Time Attack racer. And that…

    With a question like that, you could easily make a point that Tesla is the one doing it the best. By “it”, I’m referring to the development, building, and sales of electric vehicles. But the rest of the field is catching up and it will be very interesting to see what Tesla does to combat…

    I already know I love the Land Rover Defender, but that ratchets up a bit when you swap in V8 power. This is the Defender 90 V8 and there’s a big-ole 5.0-liter V8 between the front fenders. It’s supercharged and makes 518 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. And it puts all that power to…

    I already have a radio that works in my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. It’s a Clarion M508 marine unit that looks simple enough, connects to my phone, and plays music. Basically, it does what you expect of a solid radio. And I’m about to ditch it for something way more interesting; a Panasonic CQ-VX5500. This is…

    Big Oly is an amazing piece of off-road racing and Bronco history. So much so, that someone recently spent nearly $2 million to acquire it. And it’s being put to use still, as it was down in Mexico for the Norra race. Whoever was driving it down there though just had quite an expensive moment.…

    Land Rover just added a new limited-edition of Defender to the lineup. It’s called the Defender 30th Anniversary Edition and it serves to commemorate the 1993 Defender 110 First Edition. This modern version is based on a P300 S, which is a turbocharged four-cylinder model. Still, with that little powerplant, this Defender cranks out nearly…

    First things first, the answer cannot be The Wombat because that’s my answer. But there are tons of other great projects in the works, so what are some you’d like to see completed? I’d raise a hand for the Stanceworks Honda-swapped Ferrari 308 and Stephan Papadakis’ adventure-prepped Toyota RAV4. I know there are tons more…
