Quick, cheap, easy mods are the best mods

The base audio system in the current, fifth generation of the Toyota 4Runner is rather not great. I won’t call it bad because it’s not horrible but it’s not great. It’s just a basic set of speakers powered by a factory headunit. Some attention was paid to actual acoustics as speakers are located in each…

Last Call: Brick vs. bricks edition
/

comments
Older Volvos have been labeled as bricks due to the fact that they just cannot be destroyed. Further proof of that is this 850 brick that took out a brick, concrete, and iron fence in Warsaw, Poland. Yes, for reasons I personally do not understand, the Polish people love their fences. While in U.S. we…

Sometimes you just gotta and just cannot wait until the rest stop. It’s for people like you that our patrons of highways started randomly dropping porta-potties in the left lane of interstates.

It’s got classic BMW looks, Toyota reliability, ample room for six, mid-engine chassis design, and is available with all wheel drive and a manual transmission. So yea, this is, in fact, the perfect vehicle. Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking…

Wide-body Lemon buy-back Tesla on race tires is on the Nürburgring

Motor1 reports that Elon Musk isn’t taking any shit from any haters and going for a record around the Nürburgring in the Tesla Model S. At this point no one really knows what record he’s going for, or even what the hell he’s really doing, but he’s doing it. Perhaps he just wants to show Porsche…

We learned a lot about the new Defender yesterday; its features and options, and about its engine and chassis. But along with the real Defender introduction came another Defender…

comments
With the introduction of the 2020 Defender, Land Rover provided us with several cool infographics about its new rig. Usually manufacturer supplied material like this is kind of lame but this is an exception. Let’s take a look at the chassis, suspension, and the four wheel drive system of the new Defender. Like other large…
