    My teammate Chrissy Mittura kicks ass. Let’s just start with that. I met her 12 years ago when I joined her team that was racing a 1958 Wartburg sedan. They won it is an essay contest. That’s why I am writing this because Chrissy is in another contest; The Car Chix 2021 Women of Motorsport…

    A couple of weeks ago the unimaginable happened in the Ahr valley region of Germany, not far at all from the Nürburgring race track we all know and love. The towns along the river experienced an unprecedented flood, one so severe that buildings from centuries ago were destroyed. Houses floated along on the now all-encompassing…

    My buddy AJ hates money and loves fun. That’s why he bought a Ram TRX. I recently had my hands on a TRX as well, so we decided to link up and chat about the truck. He’s a much better photographer and videographer than I, so you can get some pretty visuals in the video…

    Friend of Hooniverse Matt Farah has finally cut the ribbons and opened his new facility. It’s a storage center for high-end cars. The place is called Westside Collector Car Storage, and I had the chance to drive up and take a look. This is one seriously impressive building, built in a place where it’s hard…

    Friend of Hooniverse Jason Fenske is supercharging his ND Miata. We showed you the install video recently. Jason and his buddy Charles (the Humble Mechanic) installed the supercharger, flashed the ECU, and now Jason is driving his souped-up, more powerful, faster Miata… except it’s not faster. Somehow, it’s now slower. Before the install, Jason performed…

This is the show that features all three trying to test a wide range of machinery over the soothing sounds of 80’s synthwave. Right out of the gate, the action is rather…

    Bill Caswell is a mad man. He’s our kind of mad man though, because his constantly firing brain is always scheming and planning vehicular adventure. His latest bit of insanity could be excellent, if he pulls it off. Caswell is taking a BMW 750 and turning it into a two-door shooting brake style machine. This…

    April Fools’ day is… pretty lame. I think social media is to blame for the majority of the e-hate associated with the first day of April. Every brand and content creator is on a mission for that viral joke. Most fall flat. Some are just terrible. But there are a few that get a deserved…
