Now is the time to order that brand new car exactly how you want it
/

comments
The way new car sales work in the United States is rather messed up. It would seem that automakers give you sorts of models, options, and colors, but getting what you really want is often challenging. That is because it’s really the dealers who are buying the cars and placing them on their lots. Then…

Will Ford’s new billboard-scanning patent mean in-car ads?

comments
In today’s digital landscape, we’re always connected. Your phone knows where you are at all times. You might have a device in your house that constantly listens to you. And, if you drive a relatively modern car, it might even be collecting data on you. One unfortunate side effect of this trend is invasive advertisements that interrupt…

Those who pre-ordered their 2021 Ford Bronco still have to wait a bit until deliveries start. But that should not stop anyone from buying this awesome Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco radio controlled truck. The 1/10 scale rig was just introduced and it features some amazing detail and typical Traxxas TRX4 abilities. The truck starts off…

Hooniverse Asks: Why do people preserve normal cars?

comments
There’s something strange going on. Auction sites such as Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids are listing pristine examples of completely unremarkable cars. A couple weeks back, a 2002 Daewoo Leganza SE with a mere 47 miles on the clock brought a modest $7,000. Just recently, this 2003 Ford Mustang GT with just 4,000…

Engineering Explained breaks down Tesla 0-60 claims

comments
Professor Fenske is here to break down the physics and math for you. Tesla claims its new Plaid and Plaid+ tri-motor-equipped Model S sedans will go from 0-60 in under two seconds. That’s a bonkers figure from a company used to doling out bonkers figures. But this one wears asterisks… If you’re familiar with the…

Rubicon 392 “Market Adjustment” is almost reasonable but still sucks
/
/
comments
The Hemi-powered V8 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is the latest and hottest of Jeeps to hit the market. Spoiler: I drove it and it’s awesome. As we are now accustomed to, dealers are jumping on this hot vehicle with their market-adjusted price nonsense. In this case, a dealership local to me wants another five grand…

This is what the new Toyota Land Cruiser looks like

comments
The redesigned Toyota Land Cruiser will not come to the United States. This news is nearly as old as the outgoing model itself, and many enthusiasts lament the loss of the Japanese automaker’s flagship off-roader. The Land Cruiser nameplate will live on in the rest of the world. It’s not out just yet, but recent…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a non-car-specific part or item you were excited to receive in the mail?

comments
Yesterday, I received a package from Amazon. I was excited because I recently ran out of this stuff, but now my garage necessities are once again whole. This isn’t a post about an overpriced tool that I wanted or some hard-to-find car parts. Instead, I’m excited because I’ve been out of isopropyl alcohol for months…

Hooniverse Asks: Have you ever “anger bought” a car after losing out on a different one?
/

comments
The listing pictures were honest and clean. British Racing Green paintwork looking rather lovely under the California sun. But the shots weren’t from a pro, just a seller with a modern cameraphone. And it drew me in hard. I’ve been looking for old Jaguar XJs for months now, and I decided it’s been long enough.…
