comments
Daytona was roaring this past weekend. The sound of multi-class racing surged for a full 24 hours. At the end of it all, the winning team was helmed by Filipe Albuquerque, Ricky Taylor, Alexander Rossi, and Helio Castroneves. That’s one hell of a driver lineup and they pushed their Acura ARX-05 DPi car to the top…

Hooniverse Asks: Have you ever put a part on your car then regretted it?

comments
No, this one doesn’t come from experience. And no, I don’t have an update on the Wombat, I just felt like using that picture of it from when I bought it… many many years ago. But I do want to hear about a time when you bought something to put on your car and then regretted…

comments
BMW has been on a weird marketing streak lately. Let’s ignore the new 4-series and M4 and say that it all started with some tweets that bit them in the ass. Now here is this this rather weird video/commercial thing. It shows a new BMW iX electric vehicle, an odd name as the iX was a…

The Gambler 500 is an off-road adventure that meets the 24 Hours of LeMons. There’s a dash of Mad Max thrown in. And the result is what looks like an amazing event and one hell of a good time. Right now, there’s an event planned for June of 2021. I hope they can make it…

A new year could bring a new you… or a new thing to you. I know I’m eyeballing a handful of vehicles at the moment, as I think I want something new in my life. No, I am not getting rid of the Montero. Yes, the Wombat is still “about to enter the shop” where it’s…

/
/
comments
I cringe every year when the holiday car advertisements start to show up. After this year’s political ad season, I almost welcomed it. Almost. It’s definitely the Midwesterner in me that’s talking, but I’ve never been able to wrap my head around presenting my spouse or child with a brand new vehicle as a holiday…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s your favorite Forward Control-style vehicle?
/
/
comments
The Forward Control vehicle had quite a run for some time, but then it disappeared. Crash standards on these are… well, they don’t exist. You are the crumple zone. Forget that for a moment though because FCs are definitely still cool. Take the risk and run a rad ride, like the Forward Control Land Rover…

comments
The new Ford Bronco is one of the hottest cars of the year and it’s not even out yet. This is an off-road convertible SUV with retro styling done right and a swathe of clever new features. The answer to the question of why it exists is obvious: the Jeep Wrangler had essentially monopolized this…
