Classic Captions Contest: 1996 Renault Twingo Edition
/
/
comments
Renault’s conquistador of the city, the Twingo, was both adorable and also just ridiculous looking simple car. It’s a sight at which you do an almost snorty giggle. At the dawn of the 1990s, Renault hired Jean-Pierre Ploué to design this tiny thing, which at the time sold for nearly $19,000 new in today’s money. Offered…

Review: Yakima SlimShady roof rack awning

comments
A station wagon and a roof rack go hand-in-hand. You cannot have one without the other, well, at least that’s my mantra. Roof racks are a mandatory feature, an imperative must-have for me when it comes to car shopping. Sure, you can open the lift gate on a station wagon and fold down its seats…

I miss the Hummer H2

comments
I graduated from high school ten years ago in the proud class of 2008, a year before Hummer pulled the plug on its ginormous H2 and two years before the brand itself was buried away in a graveyard alongside Saturn and Pontiac. You know those cars that you just don’t want to love, but, you…

Project Car SOTU: The Red Camaro
/
/
comments
I was reflecting and somewhat laughing at how the status of my red 2001 Chevrolet Camaro has changed since I drove it home twelve years ago. My (now) project car happens to also be my very first car that I still have and more importantly, love. The big red bow tie came into my life…

On the Track with Dodge's new Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody
/
/
comments
Out of Detroit’s three, the Challenger has always been the king at the drag strip, a king that rules with such a big crown the NHRA ended up casting down a ban on the late Demon variant. But can the big Dodge control itself at speed when the wheel isn’t pointed straight? Yes, oh gosh…

Classic Captions Contest: 1981 Honda Quint Edition

comments
Disclaimer: There’s so much adventure happening in this faded 1980s Honda press photo. So, so much. We last left off with Kamil’s go at the Hooniverse Classic Captions Contest featuring Jaguar’s new F-Pace luxury crossover and a lot of questions. After dropping $4,495 down, Walt looks content with his $498 a month lease for the…

Trackside at Road America: The WeatherTech International Challenge
/
/
comments
The Mecca for those with gasoline in their blood, who crave loud and fast cars, is Road America. Four miles of long straights, sharp corners, elongated curves surrounded by Wisconsin’s best foliage. It’s a road course rich in history with checkered flags flapping since 1955. From vintage motorcycles, Le Mans type LMPs, striped-down muscle cars, amateur…

Road Tripping the American West in an F1 Car
/
/
comments
It’s probably been every single child (and adult’s, come on let’s be real) dream to pilot an F1 car on public roads. They blitz around tracks at atrociously fast speeds screaming as the RPMs rise high into the double-digits and Gs soar. Red Bull Racing put Daniel Ricciardo, in his 900 horsepower Aston Martin RB12…

comments
As July wraps up and August rolls in, let’s end off the month with a Hooniverse Classic Captions Contest focused a car from nearly 30 years ago that I personally think, has aged so well. Down the street from my apartment in Milwaukee’s Shorewood neighborhood, is a mega plex of a grocery store called Metro Market.…
