Quick Spin: 2015 Ford F-150

I try to write a review of every car I drive, but this is not always possible. In 2015 for many, mostly personal, reasons I missed a few. Here are my abbreviated impressions of the all-new aluminum bodied Ford F-150. It’s amazing how far the almighty pickup truck has come. This vehicle here had the…

Quick Spin: 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR

I try to write a review of every car I drive, but this is not always possible. In 2015 for many, mostly personal, reasons I missed a few. One of those was the infamous Mitsubishi Evo. It’s loud. The interior feels at least a decade old. Its five speed manual transmission is a gear short. Its…

Everything I drove In 2015 (Ranked!)

My work with Hooniverse and other outlets affords me seat time in some pretty awesome machines, usually well more than I can afford, and often more capable than I should be allowed. I’m a writer, usually a mediocre one, who takes pictures, usually mediocre ones, and drives cars. It’s a pretty awesome gig, and at…

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfG9RyYc_Sw[/youtube] The ethos of Hooniverse is the love for all things with wheels and an engine (or motor for the electric-powered offerings). When the opportunity arises to drive some stellar trails in ATV’s and Side-By-Sides we would be foolish to turn down the opportunity. At this years Motor Press Guild Droptops & Dirt event in…

Quick Spin: 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S…Fast Meter Redefined

Go ahead and think back to when you first started driving cars. Think to when you first felt something truly fast, if you rode in it, drove it or saw it blast pass you on a highway or local drag strip. For me it was a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. To 16 year old me this was…

Weekend Edition: A leisurely drive in a Mercedes-Benz 220 (W115)

comments
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz W115 is one of the loveliest cars I’ve driven. It belongs to a German friend, one who currently hosts the Suzuki Swift convertible in his garage, and it’s been in his family since new. A few months ago, as I was in Germany, I had a chance to check out the Benz…

On Driving a Manual Transmission Ferrari V12

/
comments
Ferrari is no longer in the business of selling cars with manual transmissions. Primarily, this is because they’re in the business of selling cars, and hardly any supercar buyer these days seems to give a crap about the appeal of a close-ratio six -speed and the three-pedal waltz. Not that you can’t still buy a…

Quick Spin: 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel
/
/
comments
It is pretty amazing, but General Motor’s past experiences with diesel-powered cars still remain a punch line of many jokes. It’s no surprise then that it has taken them decades to very carefully come out with a new diesel offering. That new diesel, a 2-liter, four cylinder was installed under the hood of the midsized…

The current WK2 generation of the Grand Cherokee has been around for a few years. In that time it has won a number of awards and satisfied many customers, a lot of them repeat buyers. For 2014, Jeep has made the first meaningful visual and functional changes to the Grand Cherokee. Those changes, aside from…

Tired of being subjected to revoltingly florid language on car blogs? Annoyed that every single car written about has to be more special than the last? Frustrated by the constant use of tired, hackneyed phrases like sense of occasion? Then you’re going to hate this article and should probably go and read something else because…
