Hooniverse Asks: What dead car deserves an EV comeback?
/
/
comments
I would love to own a proper boat of a Cadillac. One of the old land yachts that roamed our interstates, flooded our diner parking lots, and swerved home from late-night meetings as mad men decided things that felt important but ultimately probably didn’t matter much in the grand scheme. Sure, I can still buy…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a car repair with a dumb or annoying step?
/
/
comments
Earlier in the week, I told you how easy it was to wrench on a modern car. Well, today I’m here to atone for my foolishness. We swapped out the F-250 for a 2007 Toyota Camry. I’ve changed the brakes, a wheel hub, front strut, and a lower control arm in addition to lights and…

Hooniverse Podcast: Episode 320 – Re-Do!
/
/
comments
We missed a week due to some technical issues, so this episode is a sort of re-do. In it, we muse about our day-to-day goings-on before Ron reveals that one of his project vehicles was recently broken into. It’s a C10 pickup and it’s an odd target considering it’s in a locked yard with no…

For Sale: This 2002 Subaru Outback could take you on adventures
/
/
comments
An older Subaru Outback seems like a great kick around-town sort of car. An escape to the mountains for the weekend sort of machine. A let’s head into the desert for some camping type of ride. And this 2002 Subaru Outback wagon I found on Craigslist is just that car. Here’s the full text from…

Wagon Wednesday: Give us the Genesis G70 Long Roof!
/
/
comments
This is the Genesis G70 wagon. Genesis calls it a Shooting Brake but I will not be doing that since a true shooting brake is a two-door wagon, not a four-door wagon. Pedantry aside, this thing rocks… and it’s never ever coming here. Well, at least not until someone imports one in the future but…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s the easiest car you’ve worked on?
/
/
comments
This week, I am working on a shoot where I wrench on a vehicle and install some basic parts. It’s funny I know when you consider that I’m not a great wrench. Thankfully, most of this stuff is very basic. And even better is that I’m working with two of the most modern vehicles upon…

You need an old Ford Econoline Van Truck so here’s one we found for sale
/

comments
You want an old van. Do you know what’s cool too? Old trucks! What if you could buy a van… truck? You can, if you’re hunting for an old Ford Econoline. I wasn’t but I did come across this pretty sweet one listed for sale in Pahrump, Nevada. The listing says it’s in Orange County,…

Hooniverse Asks: What is something you don’t understand about cars?
/
/
comments
I am being purposefully vague here. What is something you do not understand about cars, trucks, bikes, or vehicles in general? It could be something mechanical that just causes your brain to skip about. Maybe it’s related to the sales and marketing side of things. Perhaps it’s how to do a certain driving technique. Or…

The 2022 Super Bowl sparked interest in… the 3rd-gen Chevy Impala!
/
/
comments
According to eBay Motors, searches for old Chevrolet Impalas shot up after the halftime show at Super Bowl LVI. This makes pretty good sense since a) an old Impala is a wonderful thing and b) there were three of them on display as part of the massive set of the (pretty great) halftime show. In…

Here’s a great look at how an engine works
/
/
comments
I know most of you know how an engine works. At least, you understand the basics of it. We’re dealing with a four-stroke system predicated on consistent intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. If you want to dive a bit more deeply into how this all works, there’s a great video I found that does just…
