Hooniverse Asks: What would you like to talk about?
/

comments
It’s hard to find a subject to talk about this morning. My brain is fogged up by a whole lot of negativity that exists in the world. Maybe yours is too. So instead of me posing a specific question today, I’d love to just hear about anything you want to talk about. Literally any subject…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a modern vehicle spec rooted in some layer of history?
/
/
comments
Weird question, I know. The reason I ask it is that I’m spending the week in a 2022 Lexus LX600. This is now our Land Cruiser here in North America. It’s a fancified 300-Series yet it’s still quite a capable machine even if it gives up some off-road extras. It doesn’t get front and rear…

Hooniverse Asks: Did you/would you buy a JDM import?

I’m looking for a second vehicle in addition to my Bronco. I have a few requirements: AWD, seats five, safe, spacious, reliable, functional, budget friendly. With that said, I also don’t want something boring. My requirements would be satisfied by a new Camry but I don’t want t drive a new Camry. Complicating things further…

Hooniverse Asks: Do you think fast SUVs make sense?

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. Before that arrives though, I want to ask if you think fast SUVs make sense? There’s no question there’s fun to be had with an over-powered…

Hooniverse Asks: Did you do anything car-related for Mother’s Day?

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.…

Hooniverse Asks: Which brand is doing “the EV thing” the best?
/
/
comments
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…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a project car build you want to see finished?
/
/
comments
First things first, the answer cannot be The Wombat because that’s my answer. But there are tons of other great projects in the works, so what are some you’d like to see completed? I’d raise a hand for the Stanceworks Honda-swapped Ferrari 308 and Stephan Papadakis’ adventure-prepped Toyota RAV4. I know there are tons more…

Hooniverse: What are your go-to things to bring when you go camping?
/

comments
I’m building my Montero up more and more to be a great camping rig. Recently, I’ve added a roof rack in order to next add an awning. I plan to add a proper mounting place for my Dometic powered cooler. Solar power is coming soon too. And all of this is in addition to the…

Hooniverse Asks: What would you like to see race at Pike’s Peak?
/
/
comments
JR Hildebrand wanted to run a Dallara IndyCar up Pike’s Peak in 2021. Those plans got pushed back and he’s set to line up with the open-wheel machine for the 2022 event. It should be a wicked run up the hill with the skilled pilot behind the wheel. It got me thinking about all the…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a modification you want to do but haven’t done yet?
/

comments
We’re always daydreaming about upgrades or fixes to our vehicles, right? I have a healthy list of stuff I want to do for all of my machines. Heck, even my mountain bike is poised for some upgrades or modifications. On the Montero, I think about what it would be like with e-lockers. Over on the…
