They say that Russia is a state of mind, or something like that. I can’t really comment on it because the last time I was there it was still the Soviet Union. But seeing thousands of photos and videos of Russians and Russia on social media, is sure looks interesting. But it wasn’t until recently…

We all have heard of the scary accidents when a truck rear-ends a car and sends it forward into the truck in front it. It’s never pretty and the car occupants never come out well. A German safety company created this video showing just what happens in such an accidents, as if we couldn’t imagine…

My 4Runner is almost ten years old. Oddly enough, a brand new 2019 4Runner is almost exactly the same as my 2010, which we’ll discuss later. But this is why with 60,000 miles on it I really have no reason to upgrade to a newer 4Runner. But there is one thing I’d love to get…

Sometime ago Elon Musk boldly stated the Tesla pickup truck, the one that no one has seen, will have a 300,000-pound towing capacity. Of course that’s bullshit for many reasons.

I got an Uber ride the other day and an aging Honda Civic showed up. Getting into it I noticed that it was one of the first Civic hybrid models. I thought it was a great choice for Uber use – reliable, inexpensive, efficient, and just big and small enough. Then I noticed something I…

Hooniverse Asks: Is it wrong to love a modern CUV?
/

comments
Many enthusiasts love to hate modern cross-over sport utility vehicles. The say that they’re slow, handle poorly, and lack steering feel. They also say that they’re not any safer than typical car, and that ride height and all-wheel-drive systems provide a false sense of security to the driver. They keep going, saying that the higher…

The delivery of your new Jeep Gladiator may take a little longer. A 33-car train derailed near Caliente, Nevada, on Wednesday. The derailment was so severe that the rail cars came completely off the rails, rolled over, and the train accordioned into a big pile.
