Stay safe, have fun, and celebrate the 4th of July properly. Go do some burnouts in the morning, then ditch the keys and grab some nice cold adult beverages. We’ll resume proper content later in the week.

    comments

    One year ago today, I took delivery of my 2011 Suzuki Kizashi GTS Sport 6-speed.

    [youtube width=”720″ height=”480″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ouO8Ii74s[/youtube] Watching in-car videos is double-triple the fun when you share them with your car buddies. The Hooniversal HQ is no exception. I cued this clip of a Norwegian-registered, commendably quick Volvo 850 making it difficult for a BMW E92 M3 to keep up. It was a heated discussion… Bradley Brownell:  I haven’t…
