Classic Captions Contest – 1956 Cadillac Edition

comments
Can you believe the last time we did a Classic Captions Contest here on Hooniverse was back in January of 2017? If you missed that run, travel back in time to this adventurous family, wearing matching khaki “outdoorsy” outfits posing in front of a rad 1987 Toyota Van. Clearly the father, Scott, is armed and…

Rotten Rental Car Review: 2018 Toyota Camry
/

comments
Whenever I travel to Colorado, renting a car is always a gamble. Yes, there are mountains out here and yes it snows, but each time I decline that additional insurance at the rental car company’s check-in desk, the clerk behind the counter starts some persuasive monologue in an attempt to sway me out of my…

Hooniverse Fleet Update: The Saabaru at 210,000 Miles

comments
You know that point in vehicle ownership, where your aging car might not be worth a whole lot, things are starting to break and you should probably spend the dollars elsewhere, say on…a new car? Well I’ve reached that with my 2005 Saab 9-2x. But truthfully I love my Saabaru too much.

How Scion Won with Music

In times where car stereos have goodies like Apple Car Play, touch screens bigger than the TV in my apartment, USB inputs, XM satellite radio, Pandora, aux inputs and Android Auto, I still go rogue with CDs. Heck, that’s even on the way out very quickly. Remember CD wallets? Leather cases filled with new CDs you…

2018 Chicago Auto Show: The Favorites
/
/
comments
We’ve looked at a couple new production vehicles and a batch of exciting cars that do all sorts of “race” things, but I can’t forget the other show stoppers seen on the floor at Chicago this year. From multi-million dollar classics to a Hyundai with massive exhaust pipes, here are a couple of my other…

2018 Chicago Auto Show: The Race Cars
/
/
comments
There should be an auto show rule that states “one does not just walk past a race car without stopping and gawking.” While there weren’t a ton of super exciting new product reveals in the windy city this year, there were plenty of not-street legal machines to drool over. From Miatas ready to slay any…

2018 Chicago Auto Show: Up-Close with Mitsubishi's Eclipse Cross
/
/
comments
Having talked about this car in an earlier Hooniverse post last year, I wanted to finally see it up-close and personal. Mitsubishi’s newest crossover, the Eclipse Cross brings back a familiar name to Mitsu enthusiasts and new car buyers but in a completely different shape. And I think that shape looks quite well.

2018 Chicago Auto Show: Hyundai's New Kona
/

comments
I couldn’t help but think of the bizarre Citroen Cactus when I finally saw Hyundai’s new “small SUV,” the Kona, up-close. But this is better, much better in my coffee-high opinion. As my aging Saabaru wagon continues to age, my potential list of new “adventure-mobile” replacements grows. The 2018 Kona just earned a spot on…

2018 Chicago Auto Show: The Police Cars

comments
Lights! Sirens! The goodies are always in the back. Hidden behind all the mainstream display areas on the showroom floor were a fleet of vintage emergency vehicles from Chicago’s police and fire departments that patrolled the windy city. Oh the stories these cars could tell…

Hooniverse Asks: What Are Your Automotive Resolutions For 2018?

comments
Just like that, we’re off to the start of a new year. A fresh, clean slate. A new opportunity to better ourselves professionally, personally, and for the sake of this post, hobby-ly. Yep, I just coined that term and I’ll take it to the bank for 2018. So as you sit down and write a…
