comments
This morning we revealed that of the more than 120 cars that Hooniverse writers have owned, a Land Rover Discovery wasn’t one. While we can’t rectify that by just randomly buying one, Ross did take a quick spin in one. -KK There’s something inherently charming about a two-decade-old big British four-by-four with a V8 and a…

This is how the Borla S-Type Exhaust sounds on the Subaru WRX

comments
There’s a lot to love about the current generation of Subaru WRX. It’s quick, practical, gets decent gas mileage, handles quite well, and is easy to live with every day. But even the best of cars have downfalls, and for the FA-powered engine that powers today’s WRX that downfall comes with how the car sounds. It’s…

Listen to as many YouTube clips as you can, it’s always the first startup that makes the biggest impression. Then you dive further into the video, assessing the other crucial checklist items: Will it put a smile on your face under hard acceleration?

Stormtrooper 4Runner: First off-road trip report

comments
Off-roading isn’t anything that’s new to me. I’ve been around the hobby my entire life, having grown up with my dad’s lifted YJ Wrangler taking us on weekend excursions to local wheeling spots. I came home from the hospital in a Jeep, spent most of my childhood and young adulthood dreaming of off-roading something of…

After months of waiting, speculating, and hoping that the design lives up to those of yore, we may finally know what the upcoming JL Wrangler Unlimited looks like. Two photos were posted yesterday on JLWranglerForums, a site for which you can probably guess the purpose, showing us what very much look like legitimate images of the…

"There's no bad new cars anymore"

comments
We’ve all heard it before, and with increasing regularity: “Twenty-thousand miles? That’s just getting broken it! It’s practically new!” In the times of once unimaginable engineering and manufacturing processes, 20k truly is nothing these days. But where twenty-thousand miles isn’t “new” though is with the machines that so regularly get treated with reckless abandon, the…

And we’re back, another Friday Fun here to clear your mind at the end of what was a very snowy week for many. Last time we had some fun pretending our bank account had limit and yet there were only five garage spaces worth of real estate to fill, so this time we’re on to something entirely…

Matt Farah has a saying that goes something like this: “the number of cars an enthusiast owns is only limited by two things: money and space.” As in, if it weren’t for a finite amount of money to spend on vehicles, and a finite amount of space to store said vehicles, an enthusiast would be…

Stormtrooper 4Runner: Odds and ends, fixes and updates

comments
What’s the purpose of a project vehicle? Each enthusiast may have their own interpretation of the actual reason for said secondary (or even further-down-the-ladder) means of transportation in one’s fleet, but to me that purpose is to put a smile on my face. If absolutely nothing else, a project vehicle needs to make me smile. Simple…

We’ve all found ourselves there, riding in a car reeking of a smell that tickles your nose in not-so-pleasant ways. Or worse, we’ve found ourselves as the owners of said car, looking for a cure to what we hope isn’t a permanent scent. Take for example my new-to-me Stormtrooper 4Runner, which upon purchase had some…
