comments
I was watching a reply of the Red Bull Erzberg Rodeo the other day, and I’m blown away at the skill of the riders. This is a race that takes place in the Erzberg Mine in Austria. It’s an iron ore mine that cranks out over 2 million tonnes of ore every year. And once…

2024 Chevrolet Trax: An actually affordable automobile
/
/
comments
The average transaction price on a new vehicle is, quite frankly, an insane number. It’s over $48,000 at the moment. In fact, it’s been over $40,000 for more than three years now. Cars are only getting more expensive. So when an affordable new car pops up, it almost feels like an automaker is playing a…

/
/
comments
Subaru has always crafted cars well-suited to the multi-layered lifestyles and climates of places like the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and New England.

Hooniverse Asks: Should automakers offer more trail-related safety courses?
/
/
comments
I recently attended the launch of the new GMC Canyon AT4X. The truck is outfitted for fun right from the factory and it joins a growing list of pickups that are already well-sorted right off the assembly line. As these trucks gain off-road and trail-related capability, the parts being thrown at them increase. And now…

The Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 is a nearly perfect drivers car

comments
It feels good to get in and push it in a car like the Porsche 718 GTS 4.0. That’s because the steering feel is excellent, the power is perfect for the platform, and the six-speed manual gearbox is wonderfully tuned. The entire package adds up to one of the all-time great driver’s cars. [Disclaimer: Porsche…

I sold my Jag on Cars and Bids and it was a great experience

comments
My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 was a fun car to own. I think it’s one of the all-time great sedan designs. The interior was comfortable. And having a Chevy V8 under the hood certainly didn’t hurt the ownership experience. Still, during my few years with the car, I only put a few thousand miles on it.…

2023 GMC Canyon AT4X – First Drive!
/
/
comments
The 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X is the slightly fancier sibling to the Colorado ZR2. Does it have the same off-road chops though? Absolutely, thanks to 33″ tires, Multimatic spool valve dampers, front and rear lockers, and trail cameras. We got to put it through its paces on the off-road trails near Asheville, North Carolina.
