Analogue in-car entertainment: The I-SPY books
/
Spend any time in traffic these days and you’ll see a profusion of seatback-mounted screens, both of the factory-fitted persuasion and aftermarket accessory type.

Last Call: Makes Learning Fun! Edition
/
This 7-inch tall tabletop cutaway engine is designed to teach the fundamentals of internal combustion, but I would love to have one on my desk because coolness. $349 is a bit steep for a slightly-larger-than-palm-sized toy but it seems a fair price, as it’s constructed almost completely of cast/machined alloy and includes a small electric…

It’s a twofer today. We trekked to Napa to sample the all-new 2019 Audi A6 and the 2019 Audi A7. The luxury C-segment is an interesting space. Shoppers below it are pumped to enter the luxury car market, and those buying above are rewarding themselves for doing well financially. In the C-segment, you find people…

Custom Buick Roadmaster is the Answer
/
Every younger generation exercises their right to avoid buying what their parents did. Those of us who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s have a deep aversion to minivans. No matter how great a minivan is, and they are great, we will lean towards the gas guzzling SUV. That’s what makes this custom Buick…

Hooniversal Opinion: 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show
/
It seems that year after year the Los Angeles International Auto Show gets bigger and bigger. This coincides with the decline in interest in the Detroit Auto Show and the automakers embracing the buying power that is the Los Angeles automotive market. That plus the fact that SoCal is quite a bit nicer than winterized…

Over nine months ago, per Freddy’s intro, his Lamborghini saga began. Freddy Hernandez, AKA Tavarish, bought the cheapest Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder in the country. It had fire damage, a busted twin-turbo setup applied to the V10 engine, a wonky transmission, and many other issues. Documenting every step along the way, Tavarish put this car back…

Hooniverse Asks: Can Rivian pull it off?
/
This one seems appropriate for Truck Thursday. After spending a few hours at the 2018 LA Auto Show on Wednesday, I left most impressed by what Rivian brought to the party. The R1T truck and R1S SUV are both uniquely styled, electric machines with promises of big performance and capability. Can this small Michigan automaker…

Last Call: Strange High Courage Edition

George Weller was no penny-a-page ghostwriter’s imaginary pen name, but a serious journalist whose long and storied career would take him around the world as a respected newspaper and magazine correspondent, in both war and peacetime. In 1936, however, he was just starting out and wrote a rather avant-garde collection of short stories intended to…

There’s a sub-Reddit called Roast My Car. It’s an entertaining corner of the Internet where folks post up pictures of their vehicles, and then everyone else rips on it. The jokes are usually in good fun, and most owners get a good laugh out of it. Today, someone posted a picture of the vehicle above;…

Today is the first official media day of the 2018 Los Angeles Auto show. We will be on hand for some of the reveals, but we’re mostly heading to the LA to see which automaker booth has the best food and booze (hint: it’s usually Audi for sausages and Infiniti for bourbon). There should be…
