comments
The FSC Żuk is a Polish van that was made between 1958 and 1998. In those forty years, it received one minor facelift but many minor updates and changes. But underneath it was all based on a GAZ-M20 Pobeda, which was produced in 1946. That Soviet vehicle was surely ripped off some western design that…

It’s hard to believe that the new Land Rover Defender has been with us since 2019 when it arrived here as a 2020 model year. But like with everything that was 2020, things got difficult.

comments
Boston is one of the oldest American cities. Its varying architecture, almost random at times, can be easily modified to look like many other North American cities. This, along with four real seasons, easy access, nearby ocean and mountains, make this city a good one to make movies. In the Charlestown neighborhood moviemaking has become…

Let’s bring back this oldie – V.I.S.I.T., or Vehicles I See In Traffic. If that sounds familiar it’s because there is a Facebook group with the same name, which was named after this series of Hooniverse posts. The most hilarious thing is that I am persona non grata in that group after I said that…

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 sure is pretty looking. But, gosh darn, it sure as hell reminds me of something. This does make sense though, as the Ioniq 5 designers started out shaping this thing with the 45 Concept Car. That vehicle took inspiration from Hyundai’s old Pony concept car shown back in the 1970s. Who…

It must be a sign of my age. The more I learn about electric vehicles, the more I realize how little I know. Based on my experience, the best way to learn about anything is to get some background, and then is to just jump into it. So when an opportunity to finally drive the…

comments
Volvo loves having big wheels on its vehicles. While those wheels really look great, we have established that big wheels are not really practical. The smallest factory fitted wheel that Volvo seems to offer on any model is 18-inches in diameter. An XC60 R-Design T8, which is the plug-in hybrid model, belonging to a SwedeSpeed…
