This 1991 Toyota Mega Ace is for sale and it's extra-rad
/

comments
Not all vehicles are created equal, and this 1991 Toyota Mega Ace 4×4 is one that is a cut above the rest. In fact, this one is better than that: it’s so good that I’d be willing to put in my Rad Hall of Fame. And it’s for sale, so you can own this incredible…

Hooniverse Asks: What car are you crushing on?
/
/
comments
Every enthusiast has “The List,” a theoretical registry of the automobiles they would like to own should the opportunity, timing, and financial means present themselves. Of course there’s the opposite end of the spectrum which we toyed with yesterday, but the prospect of hitting it big in the lottery is, rather unfortunately, extremely unlikely, rendering…

The ROXOR is an under-equipped, out-gunned novelty
/
/
comments
A while back Mahindra unveiled the ROXOR, a new four-by-four with the looks and feel of the past but with intent to take market share from the ever-evolving-and-expanding class of off-road vehicles currently on the market. It certainly nails the nostalgia feel when going solely based on its looks, but, as we all know, appearance…

Hooniverse Asks: How are you taking advantage of the fall season?
/
/
comments
Fall truly is spectacular here in New England. Though the cold of winter looms just ahead, the tolerable temperature and gorgeous foliage of autumn make it far and beyond my favorite season. It’s the most enjoyable time of year to be outside, a time when you can do anything and not suffer brutal heat or…

(Not So) Rotten Rental Car Review: Nissan Murano
/
/
comments
The last rental car I had from the very same Enterprise facility was a straight-jacket-white Dodge Journey that smelled like a dirty sock. One that had been misplaced for 25 years, filled with Cheez-Wiz, and left out in the sun. As such, it was reasonable to go in with low expectations. The line of Sentras…

Project Car SOTU: Stormtrooper 4Runner

comments
We’ve all been there, past the point of frustration and agony and anger and heartbreak and “I fucking hate this giant metal piece of shit,” cresting the point of “why do I even do this?” and stepping well into the territory of, “I’d be better off if I had no involvement in this whatsoever.” I…

Project Car SOTU: MR2 "Someday Race Car"
/

comments
Huh. Funny, isn’t it, how Project Car SOTU sneaks up on you year after year, and you’re left questioning both how much effort you wish you had already devoted to a project and how quickly time passes without you realizing it. So here I am, again, a year after an already disappointing not-an-update update, writing…

Project UTV SOTU: RZR 800 Introduction

comments
Though a small niche of the automotive world, off-roading consumes the majority of my time, attention, and– yes– funds. Going fast on the road might be fun, but going places most wouldn’t think possible…that’s my jam. One discipline of the off-road hobby is the All-Terrain-Vehicle sector. After ten years with a Kawasaki Brute Force 650…

ZR2 Bison: A boutique off-roader built on solid bones
/
/
comments
I’m a big fan of American Expedition Vehicles and their conversions, especially those in the vein of Hemi-powered Wranglers and the ever-awesome Prospector Ram. Their builds tend to be limited-run or in the style of showcasing add-on modifications but today, in somewhat of a surprise, AEV unveiled a new kind of project, one more mainstream…

Review: 2017 VW Alltrack SE 6MT – Dog-hauler deluxe, enthusiast’s fantasy, not so much
/

comments
When my brother’s Chevy Avalanche looked like it was on its way to the great Car Lot in the Sky, therein lain a decision: what to take its place? His list of wants and needs yielded something seemingly impossible to find. Among those many qualities were: all-wheel-drive, a manual transmission, an interior of good quality,…
