comments
It’s been a long time coming already. In addition to a full-on Bronco SUV, it appears that Ford will be releasing a smaller CUV in the coming months. Aptly named “Baby Bronco” among those speculating and waiting for the vehicle’s release, what we have here is another look at the small crossover. This time, it’s…

In Pictures: Caffeine and Carburetors, 10/20/2019
/
/
comments
The morning was cool, dry. People milled about; steam rolled off uncovered coffee cups. And then, from afar, a bird-scattering noise. The indiscernible bellow of an exhaust. Echoing off the trees. Forcing eyes and ears to turn. Commanding attention and alerting all present to the serious caliber of machine being driven in. In the middle…

Do modifications increase the value of a Toyota 4Runner?

comments
Let’s be clear from the start: I’m a die-hard fan of the Toyota 4Runner. I have owned a 4th gen and a 5th gen and will inevitably own another in the future. From daily driver to weekend wheeling companion, the 4Runner works shockingly well in every conceivable usage. For many events in my life, including some…

Hooniverse Asks: What car stuff do you do with your free Saturday?
/

comments
The prospect of a free weekend is nearly a novelty. With a loaded work schedule, numerous hobbies, family on both my wife’s side and my side, and regular attempts to maintain something resembling a social life, plans for us seem to make themselves. In turn, that means most hours of the weekend are accounted for,…

The “base” C8 Corvette Coupe can be optioned to over $100k
/

comments
Bored last night, I decided to toy around with the 2020 Corvette C8 Coupe configurator. It’s been live for a while now but I haven’t played with it much. And with pricing available, I figured it would be fun to subject Chevy’s newest performance halo car to the “how high can the MSRP go?” game.…

comments
Ten years is a lot of time. More than a third of my life. Back when Hooniverse was founded, I entered my first semester in college. Ten years later I’m not just a different car person, but a different person entirely. 2009. A post-it note on my cork board has,” Live Life to the Fullest”…

comments
The all-new Land Rover Defender is finally here. And not just for the land afar, but for the States as well. This doesn’t come without carrying a certain weight to it. The Defender is a truck bearing the name of one of the most storied four-wheel-drive vehicles of all time. An icon in the off-road…

Project Introduction: 2013 Mazda Miata Club PRHT
/
/
comments
The first Miata I drove was a modified, ex-race-car NA-generation model. My seat time was limited to a few laps on Lime Rock Park’s infield autocross course. But something in my brain clicked. The Miata was unlike anything I had ever driven. It was so light, so nimble. Tossable in a way I didn’t know…

2018 4Runner conclusion: Life changes but I’ll always love the 4Runner
/

comments
What are some of the most stressful events and changes in life? Getting married. Moving. Changing jobs. Most people don’t do more than two of those in a year. I’ve done all three April. And apparently that wasn’t enough so I went through another stressful process and sold all of my vehicles. First to go…

Driving Florida’s A1A in a rented Mustang convertible

comments
It was a vacation at the tail end of chaos. The preceding weeks involved major life changes topped with major life changes. The timing was perfect. A summer weekend away in south Florida. A reprieve from reality. The trip snuck up on me. I packed a backpack and boarded a plane. A few short hours…
