The Crawford Performance Subaru Crosstrek is exactly how a Crosstrek should look
/
/
comments
I am not quite sure how I missed this build from Crawford Performance. I’m a fan of the Crosstrek, even if I wish it had more power. It’s a great machine that takes on the fun style of a quasi-wagon with some off-road ability. But this version from Crawford kicks things way up. The list…

I have a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT in my garage right now. It looks awesome with its black wheels and Grabber Blue paint. The 600 lb-ft of torque on tap is a blast, literally and figuratively. What isn’t so great is the fact that the car is currently a brick. It will not take…

2022 Volkswagen GTI: Close… but misses the mark

comments
wanted this one to be really good, and the driving experience of the 2022 Volkswagen GTI is good. The exterior style is nice, the new display screens look great, and the price is still good for what you get here. But the user experience with the infotainment is rather poor… and that is a big…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s an automotive “thing” you want to attend in the near future?
/
/
comments
It doesn’t have to be a race. I’m not talking about a car show. It can be anything automotive… “thing” that you hope to attend in the near future. I’ve got one booked out a few months from now that involves driving fun things off-road, camping, eating good food, and maybe a beer or two…
