/
We don’t get the Volkswagen California camper van here in the United States, and that’s a damn shame. Thankfully, a modern day Westfalia is possible though with the Envy from Recon Campers. Van life is a booming trend and one that’s undoubtedly dreamy for some. Hitting the open road and having everything you need to…

What Was Your Automotive News for the Week?
/
Seeing as how all the big news stories from this past week have originated from the Chicago Auto Show, which our very own Robby DeGraff is fortunate enough to be attending in person as you’re reading this, I’m stepping aside for the week and letting him provide the news. Chicago is usually the tamest show…

![This is the baddest Benz on the block [Updated]](https://i0.wp.com/media-cloud-hooniverse.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/04150522/Kevin-Clarke-Benz-Gasser-burnout-1-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1)
This is the baddest Benz on the block [Updated]
/
Kevin Clarke has built himself one hell of a Mercedes-Benz. No, it’s not a super clean 600. This isn’t a stunning stock Pagoda R107. It’s most certainly not a modern Mercedes. Instead, this is a W108 250S… gasser. And it’s fucking glorious. The body is clearly a vintage Benz. It’s an early S-Class, before they…

Mystery Car
/
The last time we played this game, it wasn’t much of a mystery. Lamborghini Diablo was the correct answer, and I think all the models had the firing order listed at the end of the manifold or whatever that part is. Congratulations to all the winners – you’re still not that special. Today’s mystery car…

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye… is ridiculous
/
This is a ridiculous machine. It’s crazy that Dodge makes this. It’s wild that you can walk into a dealership, give them your many dollars, and leave with the keys to one of these. This is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, and I love it. You can think of it as a sort of sub-Demon.…

This is the Lancia Rally 037 by the numbers
/
A truly insane machine from a wonderfully wild era of motorsport. The Lancia Rally 037 is a true icon. Designed to compete in the Group B era of World Rally racing, the 037 came out swinging with just its rear wheels to provide the power action. This was during a time when all-wheel-drive was emerging…

Carfection takes a peek at the history of the Supervans
/
“Supervan 1 is lost to the sands of time”… is a sad sentence to hear, but that’s what Alex Goy says of Ford’s legendary grocery-getter/ass-hauler extraordinaire. In a new short film from Carfection, Goy examines a brief bit of Ford’s extreme van adventures. The first, dubbed Supervan, was built in 1971 and featured a first-generation Transit…

2020 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro tracks dirt onto the Chicago Auto Show floor
/
The Toyota Sequoia is still kicking along. In it’s second-generation, this not-quite-a-Land Cruiser brute bumbles forth for those who need more room than a Highlander or 4Runner. And now it comes packing real-deal off-road hardware. This one is for the “cool family” that actually does stuff on the weekends, or at least can pretend to want…

Watch this Hummer H2 on an Algerian expedition
/
Yes, that’s a real Mi-24 Hind helicopter. The Algerian Air Force uses them to patrol its borders with Libya and Niger. A helicopter is a great vehicle for far-reaching expeditions, but that just gets you in the door and you need to be on the ground to push deeper. The world knows that when you’re ready…
