Hooniverse Asks: What thing in the automotive world caught your attention this year?

I feel like I’ve been saying “it’s been an odd year” for the last few years. This year doesn’t escape the use of that phrase. Still, there will always be interesting or attention-grabbing things for the better in a time when things around don’t always feel so great. This year, I got to drive an…

Hooniverse Asks: How’s your project car doing?

Right now, my Mitsubishi Montero is down. It’s nothing catastrophic. I’ve sent the gauge cluster off to be fixed, as I tried “fixing” it myself. Now it’s actually being fixed. The reason I was playing with it was to roll the odometer up to where it should be. A prior owner replaced the gauge cluster…

Hooniverse Asks: What do you think about how the Formula 1 season ended?

Max Verstappen is the 2021 Formula 1 World Driver’s Champion. He passed Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the final race of the season to take the win. That all sounds like a thrilling end to a season that captured the hearts and minds of new fans the world over. There’s a problem though,…

Hooniverse Asks: What is the best all-around car?

comments
I’ve been in the Mercedes-Benz S580 for the last week. Yes, it’s rather expensive with a sticker price north of $140,000 as-tested. But it’s hard to find a thing it does wrong as it relates to your average car. There’s tons of power from the twin-turbocharged V8. The seats are insanely comfortable. It’s quite nice…

Top-down, sun out, and your favorite tunes blasting or just the sound of the exhaust echoing off the road behind you. That would be your favorite moment if you’re a summer driving sort of person. Maybe you want color on the trees, your favorite sweater on, and a warm mug of coffee in the cup…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a factory race car you wish you could buy?
/

comments
I’m not talking about a homologation special here. I want to know about actual factory-backed race cars that you wish you could purchase. This leads me to assume some of you will go with some iteration of the Corvette, as it has been produced in a number of amazing racing versions over the years. There…

Hooniverse Asks: Do you have a good local car show?

comments
There are a handful of good weekend car shows near me. The first Sunday of each month sees a show called Sunday Steele playout. It’s a small but growing gathering of machinery with a slight bent towards more European offerings. You have the standard mega Cars and Coffee show in San Clemente, which takes place…

Sitting in a working meeting I had two dangerous weapons at my disposal – a pen and paper. I was listening and participating but my hands, when not scribbling notes, were free. That freedom let me to drawing. I came up with what looks like a Jeep CJ. I don’t have much of artistic abilities…

Hooniverse Asks: What do YOU hope the new Acura Integra looks like?
/
/
comments
Way back in Aught Dickety (1985) the Acura Integra arrived in the United States to usher in a premium marque above the Honda brand. It first appeared as a three-door hatch but soon a five-door version was offered. Power was delivered via a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that boasted the marvel of dual-overhead cams. Not a…

I’ve been driving a new Bronco for the last week, and I definitely am enjoying myself. As are others as evidenced by the waves, thumbs-up, and more. People are happy to see the new Bronco. And despite the issues with actually getting them into waiting customer hands, Ford has nailed this new Bronco. It looks…
