    Last Call: Non-vanity vanity license plate

    A good friend of mine recently bought a ’66 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park. Overall, it is in pretty good condition. To be road worthy it really only needed one thing – license plates. Yes, a top and doors would be nice in the winter, in New England, but they are not needed. When his new,…

    I swung by my favorite local hot rod shop the other day and spotted this random act of Italiano sitting on a lift. Yes, that’s a Laforza complete with its Ford-sourced 5.0-liter V8 engine. This one specifically is a Laforza GT, and it has the optional Kenne Bell supercharger. I believe that puts output around…

    Did you do burnouts when you were a kid? Do you still rip the occasional burnie? If you answered no, go find joy in some minimal tire destruction. It’s good for you. Your engine will enjoy it. And the tires are screaming because they’re into the pain… it’s kinky stuff, but I’m not here to…

    Hennessey has been talking about its Venom F5 hypercar for a bit now. There’s been talk of insane power, a 300+ mph top speed, limited numbers, and big bucks. Now the car is about to make its real-deal production-spec debut. Will it hit all the claims? We’ll just have to wait and see. Sure should…

    A Rolls-Royce Cullinan is as opulent an SUV you’re likely to find. Sure, you can spend more on something bananas like a fully kitted out EarthRoamer, but we’re sticking to standard production vehicles here. And photographer David Levenson spotted one parked on the street in London that’s living a good life. Not stopped at expensive…

    If you haven’t yet watched Gymkhana 2020, you should take a few minutes to go do that. It’s great. The shots are excellent and it feels like a return to the more classic iterations of the series. Add in some fresh starman wheel power in Travis Pastrana, some wild driving, and this absolutely wicked 150…

    Warsaw man decided to find out if this whole idea of handling like it’s on rails holds water. It doesn’t. Good thing that the mass transit authority in Warsaw has a Unimogs just for such an occasions. Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and…

    It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of drifting, but it isn’t necessarily something that you can just do whenever, legally of course. So when I see something like this it immediately catches my attention because this looks like a total blast! I don’t know about you but where I’m from there isn’t something…

    I think we are pretty much all in agreeance that the new M4 front bumper has little to be desired. However, @bradbuilds has managed to make a concept with one that even I can appreciate. This lifted, camper-infused M4 is ready to go anywhere and I’d honestly be down to go with it. I think…

    When you go to Formula Drift events, there are bound to be a few collisions. In most of these circumstances, the run usually falls apart for both drivers, unless you’re Chris Forsberg. In his lead run against Adam Lz, we saw his rear tire pop, and yet he continued the line with grace. The flames…
