Mighty Montero vs a Modified Land Rover; Which Will Rally Better?
/
The Team O’Neil Rally School should be pretty darn well equipped to determine if a vehicle can “rally” or not. In fact, they do just that on their YouTube channel with lead hot shoe Wyatt Knox showing the rest of us how it’s done. In the latest example of this format, the question falls to…

2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS EV: On the Track and Street!
/
Now for something a little different. Instead of driving the new 2025 Blazer SS EV for a week, I had the opportunity to check it out on a track, along with some street driving for good measure. So, while it’s not exactly the same thing, I have some thoughts about the latest Chevy to wear…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s the car you want but know could be terrible to own?
/
When I think about future vehicles I’d like to have someday, the idea of owning a minivan doesn’t pop into my mind. There’s one exception, however, and that’s because it’s not exactly a minivan. It’s more minivan-esque while packing in a bit of luxury and shocking power. I refer to the amazing (to me) Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG.…

2025 Toyota Camry XSE AWD: Review
/
Cars can certainly be tools. While that’s not how I view the automobile, many people use them merely as appliances to get from point A to point B. Ideally, a car can be more than that, but sometimes, it simply fulfills your needs at the moment. During my last review, I took a new Genesis…

Ford Ranger Super Duty is a mighty midsize… that we’re not set to get
/
I am truly happy that a Ford Ranger Raptor is offered here in the U.S. It’s an amazing pickup offered at a price that aims to undercut its so-called competition. Also, smaller trucks are a good thing, as not everyone wants or needs these oversized, over-priced monster machines. Most of which have capabilities far exceeding…

Wagon Wednesday: Save this 1970 Plymouth Fury and its awesome 440
/
An old Plymouth Fury wagon is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? Especially when you lift the hood and see a massive 440 cubic-inch V8 staring back at you. Per the seller, this one needs a bit of work. Per my own eyes, I would say I agree. But the seller does say it fires up…

Hooniverse Asks: Are we feeling the 2026 Kia K4 hatch?
/
The number of cars with a celebrated rear end shape is dwindling. Wagons and hatchbacks are disappearing at a rate alarming enough to need Sir David Attenborough to mention it via a beautifully shot documentary. Perhaps that’s not exactly true, though, as a few automakers have recently trotted out machines featuring the diving rear end.…

The Mercedes-Benz G580e – Electric Excellence and Still a Proper G
/
If I have two complaints about the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580e, it’s that Mercedes ships it with lame tires and that I cannot afford one. Those tires are fixable. If I could also fix my bank account, I’d be a happy person—smiling rather broadly from behind the wheel of one of these wonderful things. When you…

Mothers delivers a Ceramic solution in a simple way
/
I currently don’t own a vehicle worthy of a ceramic coating treatment. My Montero is used to bash through trails, my Mustang is a table, and my Mercedes hasn’t had an engine longer than my child has been alive. Still, I’m curious about how well those coatings work. They create a hydrophobic layer over your…

Hooniverse Asks: Do you search the local Craigslist when you’re traveling?
/
Whenever I settle into a hotel, be it near or far from home, I like to figure out the local marketplace for things with engines and see what’s happening. Today, I’m not far from home at a hotel north of San Diego, but I still figured it was worth taking a look at what’s for…

Last Call: McMurtry Spéirling Drives Upside Down
/
I love it when an automaker goes properly bonkers. I haven’t seen one do something truly wild in a bit, but it seems like McMurtry Spéirling likes to push the limits. Case in point? The video below where a McMurtry is driven onto a platform, turns on its fans to create downforce, and is rotated…

Cars and Watches: The Appeal of Each Crosses Paths
/
I blame my friend Nick for all of this. He’s the owner of a great sales and resource website for all things vintage watches. Specifically Seiko, but there are also other brands discussed and sold as well. Nick and I first met virtually via Instagram when I managed to win an old Seiko he was…

Hooniverse Asks: How’s Your Project Car Coming Along?
/
This is a safe space… you can talk to us. We understand. That project car you thought would be done by now is still in pieces, sitting there in your garage almost mockingly so. Perhaps I am speaking in a projected manner of my own internal monologue, but I want to hear from you all…

Last Call: The BBL Equivalent for Trucks?
/
Those tubs weren’t there when this Datsun left the factory back in the early 70’s. We’re not complaining, of course. Let this truck live its best life. For this 1973 Datsun pickup, that means a Chevy V8 under the hood, a turbo 350 backing that up, and insanely wide rear tires on a narrowed Ford…

Krug Bedrock XT2: This is a Vacation Home on Six Wheels
/
The world of Overlanding is filled with vehicles that range from cheap beaters with a sleeping bag in the back to luxury homes on wheels. The Bedrock XT2 from Krug Expeditions definitely lands on the more lavish side of the gap without crossing into full-on EarthRoamer territory. It’s pretty damn close, though, and I got…

Become the (Sport) King of the Overlanders with this 1959 Ford F-250
/
This one will take some work to get, and keep it, in good shape. But I will say… the bones appear good, and it’s hard to deny just how cool this thing looks. According to the listing, the truck is a 1959 Ford F-250, and it wears a Sport King Camper as a home base…
