24 Hours of Lemons: Get Ready for an All-Timer Weekend!
/
[Disclaimer: Eric Rood works for the 24 Hours of Lemons and is a total shill.] The 24 Hours of Lemons has, over the course of 12 years, run nearly 200 races. Until this coming weekend (and the following one), however, Lemons has never run two events on the same weekend. Not only will Lemons be…

Regular Cars asks "Which Subaru is Best Subaru?"
/
It’s a simple question, and Mr. Regular is on site to ask it. He’s in attendance at a Subaru car show and he’s on a quest to determine which is a prime example of Fuji Heavy Industries finest. Along the way he finds some …crap. But he also finds a few gems, including the delightful…

It’s simply known as “The Glen”
/
On the surface, this looks like many small towns dotting the Finger Lakes region of New York. Drive down Main Street and you’ll see typical bustling small town stuff. The local auto parts store. A county courthouse. There are a few banks and a singular Chinese restaurant. Signs direct you to a winery. There may…

Hooniverse Asks: Are you curious about the 2019 Chevy Blazer?
/
I hadn’t been to the OC Auto Show in years. This isn’t the realm of major reveals, future product discussions, or other pertinent interests that require me shuttling off towards the land of Disney. This year, however, I was a bit curious because Chevy decided to use the OC Auto Show as the public debut…

Last Call: 4-Door Edition
/
From an enthusiast’s point of view, two-door cars have traditionally been considered more desirable and attractive than their four-door siblings, due to their sleeker looks and racier pedigree. This beautifully sculpted 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 500 sedan, sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2007, stands as a stark exception to that rule. Conversation Starter: What’s…

Loam Wolf combines Pedals and Petrol on an Idaho adventure
/
I’ll be honest… I’ve been looking for any excuse to post something related to mountain biking, but I can’t just cram in non-auto stuff on Hooniverse. Trust me, Kamil and I have both tried in the recent past. Today’s different though, because The Loam Wolf managed to wrangle up some friends and set off on a…

Hooniverse Asks: What's your least favorite modern feature in new cars?
/
Head-up displays, lane keep assist, rev matching, and so much more. There are many tech features available to the modern driver and a whole lot of them are, at best, quite helpful, and, at the worst, a minor nuisance that can be toggled off. I enjoy a modern HUD on some vehicles but feel it’s…

Last Call: The Stripe Type Edition
/
If your initial reaction isn’t “Cool BMW M1,” but rather, “Cool paint job,” you should probably become a member of the I ♥ Sundown Stripes Facebook group, if you aren’t already. Last Call indicates the end of the Hooniverse broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is…

The Carchive: The Citroen Pluriel C3
/
Well, there goes another week, in which we nibbled away at the future a little bit more, and distanced ourselves slightly further from the familiar and the comforting. Yeah, I’m talking about the past. I’ve got bookcases full of the stuff, and surrounding myself with it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Like binge-watching…

(Not So) Rotten Rental Car Review: Nissan Murano
/
The last rental car I had from the very same Enterprise facility was a straight-jacket-white Dodge Journey that smelled like a dirty sock. One that had been misplaced for 25 years, filled with Cheez-Wiz, and left out in the sun. As such, it was reasonable to go in with low expectations. The line of Sentras…

The News for October 5th, 2018
/
Welcome to the Hooniverse News! As always, this is a weekly recap of some of the biggest stories in the automotive industry without the fluff or bull. There’s also just a little opinion of mine because I can. This week: BMW’s G20 3 Series boasts substantial updates for 2019 model year Porsche is bringing the 911 Speedster…

Peter Monshizadeh is wrenhing on all sorts of great projects on his Practical Entusiast channel. From bikes to cars, Peter has a lot of work ahead of him but all of his vehicles are interesting. Like any home wrench though, he’s run into a bit of trouble with one of the cars. Peter has a…

Hooniverse Asks: Least expected vehicle on a Buy Here Pay Here Lot?
/
A friend of mine (hi, Joey!) was driving by a local Buy Here Pay Here lot and noticed something that didn’t quite belong there – a yellow Lambo. How strange, right? A bright yellow Lambo among a sea of gray and black mid-level mid-size vehicles that are totally not salvaged, poorly repaired, and have original…

Last Call: Tokyo Typhoon Rally Edition
/
If you’re watching a turbo’d Honda City dice it up with a Lancia Delta at night on rain-slick streets, it’s highly likely you’re watching Kazuhiro Furuhashi’s video adaptation of You’re Under Arrest. A huge cast of thoughtfully chosen and authentically rendered enthusiast vehicles are vital to the popular Japanese manga/video/television franchise, described by one reviewer…

I miss the Hummer H2
/
I graduated from high school ten years ago in the proud class of 2008, a year before Hummer pulled the plug on its ginormous H2 and two years before the brand itself was buried away in a graveyard alongside Saturn and Pontiac. You know those cars that you just don’t want to love, but, you…

Van transforms a Speedster into a speedboat
/
It is my opinion that the worst drivers in America drive cars that have ZipCar stickers all over them. Like my worst enemy, I pay close attention to them. I also try to stay away from rented vans and trucks as many people driving them don’t have a lot of experience with larger vehicles. I’ve…
