How you do spice up an expensive luxury sedan without losing the inherent upscale nature of the vehicle? Is it as simple as adding some upgraded wheels, a sway bar set, and a more freely flowing exhaust? In the case of the 2009 Lexus GS 350 the answer is a surprising you betcha’.

It’s time to move on from ridiculous hoonage back to the real world (for now). After the canyons and the empty streets of California City came miles of long, straight highway.

SUV Showdown: Infiniti FX50 Vs Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Part 2

After hammering the canyons and making short work of the Antelope Valley, we rolled into California City ready for some mischief. For those unfamiliar, California City is a community master-planned back in the late 50s. If you look it up on Google Maps, you’ll see a grid of roads that suggests miles of suburban sprawl.…

When life gives you lemons, you’re supposed to make lemonade. When your press car suppliers give you two 400ish horsepower SUVs, you make hoonade. The recipe? Take equal parts Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and Infiniti FX50s, stir vigorously on a pre-dawn canyon drive, whip mercilessly on the semi-abandoned roads of California City, and let simmer…

Land, it’s what covers the quarter of the Earth not awash in fish effluence. And as only a small percentage of it is paved, a number of off-road, and off-road pretender vehicles have used Land in their names to embellish their sense of purpose. Land Rover, Land Cruiser, Highlander, and, not to be left out,…

America, you don’t know what you want… “I want to get great fuel economy, so I think I should buy a hybrid”, says your mother. “I want a car that is fun to drive, so I have to have a sports car”, says your father. Since this is the Hooniverse, we want something that most…

An entry-level luxury sedan should accomplish a few things. It should be fun to drive, provide a taste of what’s in store if you explore deeper into the model lineup, and show the world that you are climbing your respective career ladder. You may wish this were not the case but we live in a materialistic…

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. The night I took this picture, I became an uncle and my brother became a father. Meanwhile, my own first progeny is (hopefully) a few weeks away. An unplanned ten pounds of diaper ruination doesn’t have the Missus and me scrambling to shop for family…

What new cars do you want to see us review?

Here at Hooniverse we have a fondness for the old/classic/busted/unusual/LeMons/exotic/cheap/expensive vehicles of the world. The problem is that we also like new cars. These two worlds can co-exist (daily driver vs project car) peacefully, I promise. We have posted a few new car reviews but they have all been expensive, high-powered machines. Wait, what’s the…

I want to admit this to you right off the bat; I’ve never been much of a Corvette fan. I always thought the C1s were cool, and the C2s were kind of bad ass but the rest of the lineup does nothing for me. That is until I drove my first Corvette two years ago…
