Honda has built a go-anywhere Ridgeline side-by-side concept
/
This is a prime example of less is more. Honda has taken a Ridgeline pickup truck and stripped it of some non-essential items.

Hooniverse Asks: What's your favorite type of non-conventional motorsport?
/
Jetsprint boat racing remains one of the craziest form of motorsport that I’ve come across. The speeds are so fast that the action on video appears to be fast forwarded. A co-pilot uses quick hand signals to relay the upcoming turns as the pair navigate a swampy course at an incredibly high rate. We wrote…
