comments
Sometimes a thing pops in my head and I can’t get it out of there until I do something about it. Recently, that thing was the idea of having Marchal headlights or driving lights on one of my vehicles. This would be for the Jag, as I love the idea of yellow inner lamps against…

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 – XL Excess
/

comments
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a less useful GLS, but it is damn nice on the inside and super smooth out on the road. I logged a ton of miles in this one, and here’s what I found. Disclaimer: Mercedes tossed us the keys to this GLS600 and included a tank of fuel.

There’s a car get-together that happens on Friday mornings in Los Angeles. It’s called the Good Vibes Breakfast Club, and it’s a thing I’ve wanted to attend for some months now. The issue for me is that it takes place at Newcomb’s Ranch up on Angeles Crest and I live down in the southern part…

comments
I’ve never seen this era of Ford Falcon wagon. It’s like an alternate universe LTD and I love it. But what I really love is the fact that the builders have taken a simple, inexpensive Barra straight-six and cranked it to the moon. The Skid Factory found a Barra for two hundred bucks. They then…

Hooniverse Asks: Is there an easy car repair that intimidated you?
/

comments
There are certain parts of a vehicle that are intimidating until you get your hands on them. I just experienced this for myself last night. The rear brakes on my wife’s 2016 Mazda CX-5 started making a bit of noise. I assumed it was just time for fresh pads, so I wanted to try and…
