RAMming Speed Go

comments
This wonderful example of crumple zone technology mixed with a dash of torque is brought to you by a resident of Alberta, Canada. Apparently, the driver of this Dodge Ram was hanging out in British Columbia, enjoying some of the local adult beverages. Bar A apparently was not as fun as what Bar B had…

W8, Is This Wagon Worth It?

/
comments
If there is one thing we love here at Hooniverse, it’s wagons. Be it a classic diesel Benz, a super-tanker long ’67 Country Sedan, or a modern super sports wagon a la the E63 and forbidden-fruit RS6 Avant. There are some wagons out there that make you take a step back… it all looks great…

The Grandest of Cherokees – The Chief
/
/
comments
The modern Jeep Grand Cherokee is a capable yet comfortable mid-size SUV. It is a good soccermom utility vehicle but it is also useful enough for the casual off-roader. It has gone through a few iterations over the years, but along the way it lost some of its nobility. Through the majesty of the Los…

Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions: Part 5 – Multi-Link Suspension
/
/
comments
Suspension… It has a big job every single second your vehicle moves down the road. Springs, shocks, and many mechanical linkages working together to produce a ride desired by the person behind the wheel. Some people like it soft and luxurious, and they buy a full-size Lexus. Some people like it stiff and hard-core, and…

The Magic Highway of TOMORROW!

comments
I love classic Disney Informational videos. The (now)retro-futurism of them. The male voice who is sure our nuclear future is going to be bright and brilliant. The painted scenes that could easily pass for modern art. All of it comes together wonderfully, and takes me back to a time when I was being raised by…

Review: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Coupe
/
/
comments
I have driven modern muscle cars and I have driven modern luxury cars, but now I have driven a luxury muscle car. The all-new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Coupe blends a top-tier upscale interior and an aggressive-styled exterior with a bi-polar 5.5L 32-valve aluminum V8 engine. It was a fitting chariot for my two-year marriage anniversary,…

Here at Hooniverse.com, we have a love for all things automotive. This picture shows two very different worlds coming together… worlds that are rooted in a shared passion. The car on the right is a 2010 Bentley Continental GTC Speed while the car on the left is a 1964 Ford Falcon Futura.

Pah-Pah-Pahwer Makes It Go!

comments
Apparently there is a company out there called Underground Racing. Further apparent is that they are the automotive division of an insane asylum… Watch the video above for proof. They have added a pair of turbochargers to the wonderful V10 Lamborghini Gallardo. The Gallardo, in its most powerful Super Trofeo version, produces 560 hp. The…

Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions – Part 4: The Heel-Toe Downshift

comments
In this series so far, we have explored the inner workings of the automotron. Today however I feel like discussing one of the many savvy techniques people use when they are operating an automo-go of the sporting variety … and doing so at 12/11ths (yes, our scale goes to 11 here at Hooniverse.. HELLO CLEVELAND!).…

1956 Porsche 356 For Sale: Extra Crispy Edition

comments
Our friends at Bring-A-Trailer (the site that causes my marriage to to take a step back anytime I email my wife a listing), have found this formerly excellent 1956 Porsche 356 for sale on eBay. I say “formerly” because this car had a massive fire and needs more than a Maaco spray job and a…
