Ken Block is heading to the 100th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and he’s arriving with a monster in tow. This beastly creation is called the Hoonipigasus. It’s a heavily modified Porsche 911 made to look both vintage in spots, yet Time Attack-capable in others. Designed with BBi Autosports, the car features an AWD setup […]
Here’s some news I didn’t expect to read this morning or… you, know, ever! Volkswagen is set to approve a plan that will bring the Scout name back to life in the US market. Per the Wall Street Journal via Jalopnik, the Scout brand will be a new subsidiary brand under the VW Group umbrella […]
Cadillac has jumped up its full-size SUV into an insane performance space. This is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V and it’s the most powerful, most expensive, and quickest version of the big rig ever made. Lift the hood and you’ll find a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that produces 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque. This is […]
There’s some news dropping later today about a certain full-size luxury sport utility vehicle. You’re going to learn a lot more about what’s in store for the Cadillac Escalade-V.

No, I didn’t race LeMons – I just wanted to reuse that old photo for no good reason. But I’m using it to launch into today’s question; did you do anything car-related for Mother’s Day? While not car specific, here at Casa de Hooniverse we fired up the Jag to run down to the beach. […]
Our friend Nick Ferrell from DC Vintage Watches is back on the podcast once again. We talk a bit about his old Trooper, modifying car clocks, and then we dive heavy into watch stuff. And we try to understand the vitriol that hard-core watch folks levied at the Omega x Swatch collaboration. If you’d prefer […]
I’ve mentioned this car a few times in the past as it’s one of the most interesting builds out there right now. Mike from StanceWorks has a Ferrari 308 that’s getting a massively built-up Honda engine. It’s also getting a ton of other custom upgrades to turn it into a Time Attack racer. And that […]
With a question like that, you could easily make a point that Tesla is the one doing it the best. By “it”, I’m referring to the development, building, and sales of electric vehicles. But the rest of the field is catching up and it will be very interesting to see what Tesla does to combat […]
I already know I love the Land Rover Defender, but that ratchets up a bit when you swap in V8 power. This is the Defender 90 V8 and there’s a big-ole 5.0-liter V8 between the front fenders. It’s supercharged and makes 518 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. And it puts all that power to […]
