I had no idea this existed: The Honda Civic VTi-S
/
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…

The old Jawa name is now owned by Mahindra, along with BSA and Peugeot’s motorcycle brand. The first ground-up product from the reborn Jawa is this handsomely retro-styled 300cc four-stroke single.

Out of all the Jeep pickup trucks, which one is the best?
/
Which Jeep truck is the best of the bunch? To some, it’s a straightforward answer. For me, the best Jeep pickup is the FC with off-road tires and wheels, and a camper conversion set on the back. But then there’s also the Commando, which is a capable & gorgeous off-road rigs. Plus it’s called the…

/
An all-electric truck is both a smart idea and a technological hurdle that seems exceedingly high. A startup based in Michigan thinks it can make the leap and bring an electron-sipping pickup to market. The company is called Rivian and its electric truck is called the R1T. And it actually looks and sounds pretty cool.

Last Call: Where Have You Gone, Mr. Two Edition
/
Nowadays, when I look at the original Toyota MR2, I can’t help but wonder how and when Toyota let themselves become so soft and boring, because I often forget how many of their cars used to be “da bomb” …back when people actually said “da bomb.” Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day.…

/
Yes I know the date. But know for me that Christmas basically began the second the Thanksgiving Turkey slid down my gullet. A three-year-old child forces holidays on you at a faster rate than which you’re used to. So then I ask, what would 2018 Santa drive? He still has the sleigh, but that’s his…

We live in a time right now where more and more people are signing checks for down-payments on a new crossover almost every few minutes. I can walk out into any lot and stand on my tip-toes, trying to see where I parked my black station wagon hiding away in a deep horde of crossovers…
