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.

You all know Sam Smith, right? He’s the wonderful word slinger who also knows how to wheel a vehicle. A few years back, Sam got the chance to pilot a 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL around Laguna Seca. He had a helmet cam rolling to capture the ridiculous wheel workout as well as the glorious audio.…

comments
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.…

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…

I already have a radio that works in my 1991 Mitsubishi Montero. It’s a Clarion M508 marine unit that looks simple enough, connects to my phone, and plays music.
