Hennessey is looking beyond 300 mph with the F5 Venom
/
200 miles per hour is so last decade. Now every exotic machine under the sun can crest the double century mark. Hell, a handful of sub-$100k Dodge products can do it. The real top speed race is focused on a truly insane number; 300 mph. One of the major contenders aiming to hit this massive…

Podcast: Episode 266 – Let’s stroll down Youtube comment memory lane
/
There’s no news this week. It’s time, instead, to dive into the past three months of comments on YouTube. This means we’re going to find confusing messages. We’ll find hateful messages. We will find the sort of stuff that people typically wouldn’t have the guts to see to another person face to face. And we…

Hooniverse Asks: What was the weirdest thing stolen off your car?
/
So I’m casually browsing the book of faces while consuming my low-carb dinner when I notice an intriguing post in the Lexus GX Overland section (yes, there is such thing). Someone posted five security camera pictures of someone stealing a bolt off a roof rack off his friend’s Toyota FJ Cruiser. That is weird but…

Last Call: Street Parked Edition
/
In Japan, slammed and stretched scooters have been a legitimate thing for a long time, and they don’t come much lower or longer than this one. It doesn’t seem very practical, but it might get some use, seeing as it was captured parked at the curb. Image: mercenary.ie Last Call indicates the end of the…

If you own a Lancia Stratos, drive it like this owner does
/
The first thing that catches your attention is the noise. It’s raucous. It’s loud. It’s chest thumping. Once the car enters your field of vision though, your eyes do the rest of the heavy lifting. The car is a white wedge that’s hurtling toward you at a great clip. The car is sideways with the…

Hooniverse Asks: What's the craziest vehicle you've seen on the road?
/
Because we love cars, we are always on the lookout for something interesting. Sometimes we find it. Sure, there are way crazier cars than the Lambo I wrote about yesterday, but to me that Lambo was special. It wasn’t special because it was a Lambo, it was special because it was 30-something year old that…

Last Call: Bro Bus Edition

Even frat boys eventually get married and have a family. But sometimes, trading in your bro-dozer for a minivan is too horrific to consider. 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 not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

Is there a new lap record at VIR courtesy of the Porsche 919 Evo?

Neel Jani is a superhero behind the wheel of a race car. Recently, the Swiss driver made headlines when he set a new (non race) lap record at Spa-Francorchamps while piloting Porsche’s insane 919 Evo. That lap has since been bested by Sebastien Vettel and his Formula 1 car, but it’s still a hell of…

This E36 BMW M3 and Toyota Supra collaborate in a smashing new video
/
[UPDATE: The video and its mirrors keep getting pulled down, so here’s a written representation of what happened. A BMW M3 came around a corner and tried to drift. Got spooked by oncoming traffic and slid the E36 into a parked, idling Toyota Supra. Both cars are pretty messed up. Both drivers seem alright. I don’t…

V.I.S.I.T. – Lamborghini Countach LP500 S

This summer’s trip took me to Rome and Tuscany. For those that don’t know that is in Italy, where the cities are old and everything is pretty. For just one day I ditched my family and took a trip to Bologna. For those that don’t know, Bologna is famous for their pastas and meats, which…
