comments
This week Jeep introduced some amazing concept vehicles, specifically the Mighty FC (Forward Control) and JC-12 concepts. All of us here at Hooniverse love them – they’re just amazingly awesome and we all want them, especially the FC. Unfortunately neither of those will ever be built. While discussing if we should or shouldn’t run the pictures of those…

Spotted: Ford Festiva SHOgun
/

comments
The first generation Kia Mazda Ford Festiva was a rather underwhelming econo-box. Three doors on a two-box shape with a single pathetic choice of an engine, buying one meant that you have given up on life. However, where some see adversity others see opportunity. It was the great Chuck Beck who installed the 220hp Yamaha…

[singlepic id=3704 w=720 h=999 float=center] If manufacturers explained the differences between their models this way today we wouldn’t have to figure out where the Altima ends and the Maxima begins.

Wrenching Tips Bonus: Check Other People’s Work

comments
Every once in a while, or like all the time for me, we entrust our vehicles to the [so-called?] professionals. Chances are they will do the work faster and better, and without all the spilled blood, oil and beer. I prefer smaller shops myself rather than dealerships where often you don’t even get to see…

How many miles is too many for a Toyota?

comments
As carguys and hoons we are often called into action when someone is in need of a car or a car repair. And then once that drama is over with we are quickly forgotten, but that is all good. We get to go on a “car hunt”; selecting the right vehicle, searching for it, offering…

First Pics: Ford's new 2013 Transit Custom Van

comments
Tuesdays are usually reserved for two-wheeled vehicles here at Hooniverse, so why are we showing you a van? Not only that, it’s a cargo van too that begs to have a “Free Candy” sign on the side. Not only that, it’s not a cool flat-nose old Ford van but all-new, just-introduced at the Birmingham Commercial Vehicle Show…

Pictorial Review: 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit

comments
By now we’ve all seen the current generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Last November I briefly drove this very Jeep and came away very impressed. Now, however, I’ve spent a long weekend with it and… remained equally impressed, except for one thing (keep reading). This time, in lieu of writing just another review, I chose to…

Vintage Advertisement: Studebaker Gran Tourismo Hawk, for the discerning American motorist

comments
[singlepic id=3705 w=720 h=9999 float=center] This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you properly advertise a car. No pop-stars, no models, no happy people going camping, no family sing-along, no bull shit. Simple black ink on white, important bits in red, picture of the car. No opinion, just facts: this is what it is, this is…

The 2012 New York International Auto Show will commence on Wednesday morning and we (Jim, Jeff, and I) will be there LIVE!! Before going see all the new cars this year, I thought it would be a good idea to reflect back at the NYIAS cars of yore. Below are three dozen pictures taken at…
