Hooniverse Asks: What should a modern truck have and look like?
/
I’m in San Antonio, Texas this week and I just drove the new 2022 Toyota Tundra. I can’t yet talk about how it drives. But it does make me wonder what buyers are looking for in this space.

GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Duramax: The Unintended Review
/
This GMC Sierra came in for review under an interesting premise. In fact, I wasn’t even looking to review it exactly. I was working on a review for another publication for the Smittybilt air compressor and needed something with larger tires to test it on. When I reached out to one of the companies that…

This 1987 Buick GNX is a $215,000 car per BAT buyers
/
It’s easy to make jokes about the auction prices paid on Bring-A-Trailer. Low-hanging fruit, really. But this one feels particularly extra bonkers. What you see above is an absolutely wonderful example of the Buick GNX. Per the listing, Buick cranked out just 547 examples and this one is #255. On top of that, it’s in…

HA: Has a purchase you’ve considered been swayed by online opinion?
/
You might reach out to someone, or a like-minded group, and ask for car-buying advice. If they collectively give you an answer you weren’t expecting, do you consider that answer? Or do you simply seek out more validation for the purchase you’ve already made in your mind? It’s a question resulting from answers I often…

There’s always somebody quicker…

This video comes from a Performance Data Recorder in a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Per the video description, this car produces 800 wheel horsepower.

This Pajero Evo has a supercharged LT under its hood
/
I absolutely love the Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution. It’s a wicked factory homologation special built to allow Mitsubishi the ability to run its race trucks in the T2 class at the Dakar Rally. These are capable, reliable, well-built machines. But you can always use more power right? Of course! Which is why one owner/builder decided to…
