    Yes, the new design should be in place for most of you. There are some stragglers hanging on to ancient cached pages and stories from 2009. The rest of you are here. Yes, we mostly know the things that need to be fix and we’re working on it. Here are the good bits so far;…

    As we fully migrate to the proper .com place on the Internet, we have to take things offline for 24-48 hours. Once we’re back up, we will begin making sure the Disqus comment system is back in place. I was going to wait to do this, but I want to get the proper commenting system…

    Yes, it looks rather different around here. A fresh coast of paint has been long overdue on these virtual pages, and that’s what we’ve done. At the same time, some things are seemingly a bit more complicated but really it’s all been made more easy. Here’s the gist though; the content remains the same. How…

  • Quick Spin: 2018 Lexus NX 300

    Sedans are dead. So-called normal people buy crossover utility vehicles now. Those wanting nicer cars, buy nicer CUVs and not nicer sedans. That market segment, that of midsize two-row luxury CUVs, is red hot. Lexus was a pioneer in this class with the original RX 300. Over the years, the RX has grown though, with…

  • 24 Hours of Lemons 2019 Schedule: Races, Rallies, Concours, and Down Under

    /

    comments

    After 13 years, nobody has yet gotten wise to those idiots from the 24 Hours of Lemons and their inane $500 endurance-racing series. Indeed, Lemons has slipped another annual schedule out to the public. It serves less as a yearly planner for racers (who naturally are terrible at planning) and more of a notice to…

    Your brain is elsewhere right now, we understand. The work year is almost to a close, you have pending travel to see family on the other side of the country, and the world as we know it is crumbling around us. Still, we here at the Hooniverse want to bring a bit of light into…

  • I bought another Benz… say hello to my 1974 280

    So yeah… I went and bought another old Mercedes-Benz. First off, no the 300TD wagon we call The Wombat hasn’t been sold off. It’s still being discussed and schemed upon, I promise. Secondly, no I’m not selling the truck yet either (Unless someone gives me a decent enough number then PEACE OUT BRO!). I bought…
