The Working Man’s Raptor: 2025 Ford F-150 Tremor
/
With all my love for the F-150 Raptor, the Raptor is a $90,000 toy for people who want to pretend they’re jumping sand dunes on their way to Starbucks. The Tremor is actually a half-ton truck designed to work. It sits in that sweet spot where you get 33-inch tires and 18-inch wheels without the…

2026 Acura Integra A-Spec w/Technology: Review
/
I’ll be honest with you, the Integra has a bit of a problem. Not because it’s a bad car, it isn’t, but because the Civic Si exists, shares the same engine, and costs about six thousand dollars less by the time you’re comparing apples to apples. So every time I got into this A-Spec with…

2026 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD
/
It’s hard to stand out these days, especially if you are a crossover SUV. Perhaps you think your shape is sleek and unique. But it isn’t. That means you need to focus on the details. The headlights, taillights, and trim are even more important for attracting buyers. Genesis has invested heavily as it wades into…

2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid: Review
/
Howdy hoons, it’s been a while. To be honest, I had lost my passion for writing, and for a lot of other things if I’m honest. However, I’m back on the horse and excited to share my thoughts on the new 2026 CR-V TrailSport Hybrid. It retains the classic CR-V silhouette but adds a rugged…

2026 BMW i7 M70 Review
/
The 2026 BMW i7 M70 has 650 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque, weighs over three tons, does 0-60 MPH in about 3.5 seconds, and (in the guise seen here) costs $192,075. But those numbers hide the real story, which is that this is quite possibly the most plush, comfortable vehicle I have ever had…

2018 Lexus GX460 Build Project | Hamilton Premium CarPlay Conversion Kit
/
As stout as it was mechanically, the 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 was a technological dinosaur even in its heyday. Laden with ancient infotainment featuring an antique looking screen and infuriating controls, the system only received a factory infotainment upgrade for the vehicle’s closing 2022-2024 model years. To remedy the earlier GX460’s woes, Hamilton Motor Company set…

2026 Volvo EX30 – One Take Review
/
Getting a smaller Volvo used to mean you were a safety-obsessed architect who enjoyed sensible sweaters. Now, it means being sensibly green but also being able to accelerate from stand still to 60mph as fast as a Ferrari Roma while sitting in a cabin made of recycled PET bottles. The EX30 is a Swedish design…

Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance: Grand Touring Excellence
/
The horsepower wars climb ever higher. Case in point: the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance. That extra bit of letters on the end signifies that this particular AMG coupe features a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Working in concert, the system delivers a massive 805 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Gargantuan figures for a glorious grand touring…

NONWICK Pt. 8: My ’67 Mustang is Alive!
/
It’s been a bit of a long road to get here, but the day has arrived. My 1967 Ford Mustang, dubbed NONWICK, is alive. The car runs. I’ve driven it. And now I already need to fix something major. It’s a glorious moment to hear your long-dormant project car fire to life. This particular ’67…

Revology Mustang Boss 429: Restomod done right?
/
Let’s get this out of the way from the jump. This car is wickedly expensive. So are all of these restomod machines that seem to churn out from endless random companies, grabbing stock of every potential beloved classic they can find. Revology seems to actually care about its end product, however, which is why they…

The Honda Element deserves a comeback tour
/
I was out and about running errands this past weekend, and while sitting waiting for a painfully long red light to change… a Honda Element appeared in my rearview mirror. The particular example was decked out, too, with far-from-stock all-terrain tires wrapped around bronze wheels. It looked absolutely fantastic, and the driver behind the wheel,…

Axial SCX30 Jeep Wrangler JLU RC Review | Making Mountains Out of Molehills
/
“Big things come in small packages” might as well be the new Axial SCX30’s catchphrase. The cellphone-sized 1/30th scale ready-to-run (RTR) rock crawler RC is truly tiny and yet the movement it has created is anything but. Not only is the SCX30 fun to play and tinker with, these new rigs have opened up a…

2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness – One Take Review
/
The 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness follows the other Wilderness models as essentially a hiking boot with a powertrain. It’s got chunky aesthetic, gold trim, and enough blacked-out cladding to survive a rock fight. The wheels have been reduced to 17-inch, yielding to a thicker tire sidewall, and allowing for more tire flex when off pavement.…

Mercedes-AMG G63 is an Off-Road All-Star… Even on Lame Tires
/
The Mercedes-AMG G63 is a beast of a machine. From its 577-hp twin-turbocharged V8 engine to the triple-locking setup under the body, the G63 is ready to go anywhere. Especially when you add on the optional AMG Active Ride suspension system… just swap on better tires, though. Mercedes has not changed much of the visual…

Rlaarlo Storm Breaker SBK10 RC Review | Budget Performance Buggy
/
Rlaarlo is undergoing a revolution. It’s clear the company is trying to hang with the big dogs of the RC world, fighting to get there by pumping out one impressive new release after another and packing each with specs to impress. Loaded with something to prove, Rlaarlo launched its newest release, the 1/10th scale SBK10…

Driven But Not Forgotten: 2025 Edition
/
Each year I drive and review a wide array of vehicles, covering some here on Hooniverse and others across other platforms, and inevitably some slip through the cracks. But even when discussing these outliers on The Hooniverse Podcast, I still feel obligated to write about all of these vehicles. It’s the time of year to…
