Hooniverse Asks: What is something you don’t understand about cars?
/
/
comments
I am being purposefully vague here. What is something you do not understand about cars, trucks, bikes, or vehicles in general? It could be something mechanical that just causes your brain to skip about. Maybe it’s related to the sales and marketing side of things. Perhaps it’s how to do a certain driving technique. Or…

The 2022 Super Bowl sparked interest in… the 3rd-gen Chevy Impala!
/
/
comments
According to eBay Motors, searches for old Chevrolet Impalas shot up after the halftime show at Super Bowl LVI. This makes pretty good sense since a) an old Impala is a wonderful thing and b) there were three of them on display as part of the massive set of the (pretty great) halftime show. In…

Here’s a great look at how an engine works

I know most of you know how an engine works. At least, you understand the basics of it. We’re dealing with a four-stroke system predicated on consistent intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.

The Crawford Performance Subaru Crosstrek is exactly how a Crosstrek should look
/

comments
I am not quite sure how I missed this build from Crawford Performance. I’m a fan of the Crosstrek, even if I wish it had more power. It’s a great machine that takes on the fun style of a quasi-wagon with some off-road ability. But this version from Crawford kicks things way up. The list…

I have a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT in my garage right now. It looks awesome with its black wheels and Grabber Blue paint. The 600 lb-ft of torque on tap is a blast, literally and figuratively. What isn’t so great is the fact that the car is currently a brick. It will not take…
