2010 RAM 1500
/
Sometimes it feels good to get off the ground and survey the world around you. I have driven a number of cars for Hooniverse.com and most fall into either the sporty or luxurious categories, with some toeing the line of both worlds. I enjoy the power and the amenities found within those vehicles. The Dodge RAM…

Hooniverse Asks- Have You Ever Wanted to Build a Kit-Car?
/
One of the benefits of the VW Beetle’s ubiquity and easily un-boltable body has been the plethora of fiberglas kits that can make the car a personal expression of your own indomitable personality. Whether faux Ferrari, covert classic or futuristic freak-mobile, the VW platform was like the stage at a free-form jazz festival. That has…

On St. Patrick's Day, Celebrate Excess!
/
In the fine tradition of St. Patrick’s Day, we here at Hooniverse acknowledge that most people will use it as the traditional excuse to pretend to be Irish and drink themselves into a stupor. Being one of the millions whose family history is actually Irish, I find the whole tradition quite amusing. I have heard…

Hooniverse Asks – Have You Ever Made a "Barn Find"?
/
They are mythical, they are legendary, they are the one that got away kind of stories. You’ve heard about them, maybe through a friend of a friend, or your brother-in-law’s nanny’s dad, about the guy that happened upon – just by chance – the find of a lifetime. I’ll share a little story with you,…

2010 Suzuki Kizashi
/
Kih-Za-Shee. Not Keeshasha, Kezhasee, or Kissahee. Definitely not Ke$ha either…eww. This is the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi SE All-Wheel Drive and it’s a good car with a weird name. The name does have a purpose beyond confusing old men and young women, as it roughly translates to “omen” or “warning” in English. The Kizashi is basically…

2009 Lexus GS 350 … fitted with F-Sport goodies
/
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’.

Faster, Faster, Faster, Until the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death …
/
Speed, being relative, is a hard thing to appreciate or perceive. Speed from behind the wheel is different from speed on TV from the sofa. Sometimes, to see how fast an object is moving you need to look at it while it’s not moving at all.

In A Snowbank, No-One Can Hear You Scream: The Hooniversal Polar Expedition, Part III
/
In the previous chapter, we explored all the various forms of training and preparation for a mission to the North Pole that we successfully ignored in favour of drinking nice cups of coffee and strong forms of alcohol. Eventually we realized that our training was never going to be properly completed, and was really just…

Last Call- Lite Not So Brite Edition
/
Good Year came up with these light-up tires in the early sixties, apparently to aide in up skirt photography. The tires were made from synthetic rubber, and illumination was provided by wheel-mounted bulbs. Changing one of those must have been a hassle!
