2025 Audi RS 3 – Five-Cylinder Fury
/
There’s something awesome about an odd cylinder count. Yes, I still believe eight is the perfect amount. But five cylinders deliver delightful fun. Case in point? The 2025 Audi RS 3, which features a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder mill under the hood. That means this thing is basically a half-size Lamborghini sedan, right? That mighty powertrain…

Check Out This Excellent Walk-Around of an SR-71
/
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird remains at or near the top of the list of all-time greatest vehicles. It operated north of 80,000 feet, hit a speed greater than Mach 3.5, and could beat the Concorde from New York to London by about an hour. Albeit with a few fewer people on board. Regardless, the SR-71…

2025 Volvo XC60 vs. 2025 Volvo XC90!
/
Howdy Hoons! It’s time for another one of our consumer comparisons. A couple of weeks ago, I spent a week with the VW GTI and the Golf R. This time, we’re back with two Swede SUVs, the 2025 Volvo XC60 T8 AWD Polestar Engineered and the 2025 Volvo XC90 T8 AWD Ultra. They are both…

This 2005 Chrysler 300 was only $5,000?!
/
My neighbor had a new car in their driveway. Well, new to them. That means I had to stroll over and take a look. The car in question? A pretty clean first-generation Chrysler 300C. I asked if he had bought the car for his growing son, who’s nearly of driving age. His reply? Nope, this…

NONWICK Pt. 7: We have Touchdown! My ’67 Mustang is Back on the Ground
/
The 1967 Ford Mustang occupying a large portion of my garage has been sitting on jack stands for around a year and a half. Now, finally, I’ve set it back down on the ground. This big step for the project means we’re in the latter stages of the build. Since posting this video, the Mustang…

2025 Bathurst 1000 is More Proof that Supercars is Best Racing Series on the Planet
/
When a 621-mile race comes down to the last ten laps, you know you’re watching something special. It was Chevrolet vs Ford in a street fight in the rain. And it was exceptional. The racing only got more intense with ten laps remaining, as the weather and visibility continued to decline up on Mount Panorama.…

Slate EV Truck: First Look!
/
Thanks to our friends at the Washington Auto Press Association, I got some private time with the new cheap Slate EV Truck while it is here in DC! Jeff gave you all a look at the basics of the Slate EV back in April when it was revealed. This was one of three prototypes in…

Here’s How You Draw a 40 Series Toyota Land Cruiser
/
I enjoy doodling, but I’ve never been anything resembling an artist. Growing up, my book covers and papers would be filled with poorly shaped sketches of everything from cars to the Cool S, and anything in between. I wish I could’ve seen these awesome tutorials by Stefan Marjoram when I was younger. He does an…

2025 Lexus LC 500 Convertible: Just Look at it!
/
And now for something a bit different. I’ve been reviewing the Lexus LC 500 since 2017, when I spent a week in a pre-production prototype. Over the years, it hasn’t changed all that drastically. Most recently, on Hooniverse, I checked out a 2021 LC convertible. Updates since then have been fairly minimal: So, rather than…

2026 Honda Passport Trailsport AWD
/
These days, new vehicles are all about size and packaging. How can they get something in showrooms that will grab a buyer’s attention over the competition? The third-generation Honda Passport has been with us since 2019 and is getting a redesign for 2026. We got to spend a week with the Trailsport trim, so let’s…

2025 VW GTI vs. 2025 Golf R: Comparo
/
As a (all-too-regular) car shopper, I find myself comparing all kinds of vehicles in my head. I rarely get actually to test them back-to-back. That changed recently when Volkswagen sent me a 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI Autobahn and shortly after, a 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Black Edition. You may be saying, “The price difference between…

24 Hours of Lemons: Buttonwillow – Our Best Effort Yet
/
Racing, at all levels, delivers supreme highs and tremendous lows. This remains true even when talking about the 24 Hours of Lemons series. Thankfully for my team, I helped get the lows out of the way on my way to the track. My Montero decided that Gorman, California, would be the perfect place to give…

2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally – One Take Review
/
Ford making a pseudo-rally car out of the electric Mustang Mach-E was something I didn’t expect. Automakers have for years made faster and more powerful versions of their sports cars, but those typically end up lower to the ground, with bigger wings, and with stickier tires. But Ford went the opposite way here, and it’s…

First Drive: 2026 Aston Martin DBX S!
/
The Aston Martin DBX is already firmly into super SUV territory, but the automaker wants to push things a little further. There’s precedent for Aston Martin to do just that with the addition of the letter S. Aston Martin has added S versions of certain models since as far back as 1953. Today, since the…

2025 Lexus LX 700h Luxury: Review
/
Hey hoon-i-fam, it’s been a while, I know. Dealing with life and all its myriad joys and difficulties. But I’m going to try and get back on the wagon. It was back in May when I had the opportunity to drive the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Luxury trim. During my week, I tackled daily driver…

Ford F-150 Lightning – Tow Test!
/
To many, electric trucks are still controversial. Old school pickup owners sneer at them and the people that bought them seem to love them. In my own experience, the Ford F-150 Lightning is like any equivalent F-150, except faster, and in need of more frequent “fill ups”, which is expected. But until now, I haven’t…
