    It was mid-football season when I saw this commercial during one of the many games that my beloved New York Giants lost. I had no idea what the commercial was for but I was immediately intrigued by it. It wasn’t particularly heartwarming, fun, or even catchy but I was captivated by the wide selection of…

    Carlos Ghosn, who gave an incredible press conference earlier today, is out as the founding chairman and CEO of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance. Whoever was his replacement is also out as of right now. For some reason you were picked to replace him. Your first job is to pick a corporate vehicle for yourself. As the leader and…

    Many of us dream of having huge garage-mahals but do we really need them? What if instead of dreaming of having majestic multi-car garages we develop something that works for our needs. And something that works for our needs in our current place. And and, something within a reasonable budget. It’s possible. Let this video…

    As we enter the 2020s we can see a change in the automotive world. While the 2010’s showed us that hybrids don’t have to be boring econoboxes and that electric vehicles can used like conventional vehicles, the ’10s also gave us some spectacular internal combustion engines. FCA’s 6.2-liter Hellcat is the most obvious one to…

    A good friend of mine owns a small business. One of his long time employees, and actually a good friend, just bought her first new car. It’s a Kia Sportage and it’s perfect for this young lady. Surprisingly, it came from the dealer with WeatherTech floor mats and roof rack cross bars. It even has…

    Around here we love the BFGoodrich All-Terrain A/T KO2 tires. Jeff has a set on his Montero, I have a set on my 4Runner, Chris has a set on his Land Cruiser, and Josh-the-guy has a set on his VW Golf Alltrack (which is really cool in and of itself). None of us have anything…

    Yesterday, Alex Roy, the dude who once set a Cannonball Run record and a friend of Hooniverse, answered the question that was on my mind for some time – which car is best for setting a Cannonball Run record. His somewhat obvious answer is that a German sport sedan is the best vehicle for the task of…

    December is here and so is the first winter storm in the northeast. 2020 model year 4Runner is here too, just in time for the storms. I didn’t have any new expectation for this ever-so-slightly updated 2020 model. It is still the very similar fifth generation 4Runner, very similar to the 2010 model year 4Runner…
