/

comments
We’re always daydreaming about upgrades or fixes to our vehicles, right? I have a healthy list of stuff I want to do for all of my machines. Heck, even my mountain bike is poised for some upgrades or modifications. On the Montero, I think about what it would be like with e-lockers. Over on the…

Want to help clean up public trails? OnX has ideas to help you get started

You would think that anyone who looks hitting their local trails would also like to keep those trails clean. That’s not always the case though, and seeing garbage on a trail is a sadly familiar sight. But there are plenty of groups out there that push the idea and action of trail clean-ups. Maybe you…

Here are some great overtakes from the 79th Goodwood Member’s Meeting

comments
There are a handful of events every year that wear the Goodwood tag. You have the Festival of Speed, which I’ve attended and loved. There’s the Revival, which anyone who’s been will say is the best. But the really amazing event held at Goodwood seems to be the Member’s Meeting. It has a smaller crowd…

Hooniverse Asks: What current new car design language makes past designs look even better?
/
/
comments
This is the all-new BMW 7 Series. It takes the current family design language and applies it to the big luxo sedan. All this does is amplify a whole bunch of things that, in my opinion, look ridiculous. The split lighting in the front is odd. The blue touches look silly. Looking at the trunk…

Last Call: All the CUBES but not all of the juice…

comments
I know there was a version that got down to 230 hp. But even if this image isn’t perfectly accurate, it’s still pretty damn funny. There is an entire era of large-ass engines that are choked to hell and back so the power outputs are far less than what someone might expect. Last Call indicates the…

Hooniverse Asks: Did you ever wish you could take your own vehicle on vacation?

comments
It’s been extra quiet around here lately because I’ve had a bit of a vacation. Recently, I spent some time on the islands of Maui and then Kauai. I enjoy both of those places and the rental car I had on either one was fine. Still, I wish I had my Montero with me when…
