comments
Hooniverse has housed stories about a select few of my vehicular doings over the years. It started with the Challenger, then the VehiCROSS, MR2, WRX, a 4Runner, Corvette, another 4Runner, a Miata, and a third 4Runner. Now it’s time to introduce my most recent build, a 2018 Lexus GX460. We discuss it regularly on The…

Cars not reviewed, but not forgotten

2022 flew by. Time constraints didn’t allow for full written reviews of every press car I drove this year (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet the cars are still worth mentioning, so this post covers these vehicles. The cars herein are BMW M4, X5, X3M Competition, and 840i;…

The 2022 Forester Wilderness is maximum Subaru
/
/
comments
The Subaru Forester practically sells itself. Fozzy owners love their cars, evident in a faithful following that has buyers returning to the model time and time again over the car’s five generations. Yet to keep up with the times, even Subaru has to spice things up. The new Forester Wilderness is here to fight similarly-minded…

Chevy’s 2022 Traverse RS AWD is the quintessential family hauler

comments
The first long road trip with your first child is extremely daunting. Baby-related needs dictate a different kind of packing and need for space you once didn’t require. There’s a reason so many people buy a big SUV once they have a kid, and it’s not just perceived safety. Space quickly disappears, and you’ll never…

The 2023 Kia Carnival Helps You Embrace Dad Vibes

comments
With kid, or kids, comes stuff. And lots of it. What used to be a two-person weekend away that could be packed into the trunk of a Mazda Miata now requires something quite a bit larger. Additional cargo space is effectively as important as extra seating. There’s a reason people buy minivans aside from people…

2023 Cadillac Escalade V Review: Disturbing the peace
/
/
comments
“I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE” Jeremy Clarkson once proclaimed while cutting down a tree somewhere in the depths of Bolivia. Obviously, the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V-Series didn’t exist yet. The 682-horsepower, 6200-pound mass of mayhem and madness defies all logic and sensibility. Its quad tips produce the loudest bellow anyone has heard from a…

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata is more than the sum of its parts
/
/
comments
The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata brings out pure, joyous nostalgia. It reminds you of the adrenaline you experienced the first time you rode a bike without training wheels or drove a light, simple roadster with the top down. There’s no piece of the MX-5 pie that stands out as special, yet everything comes together to…

Is the 2022 Golf R’s interior as troubling as everyone says it is?
/
/
comments
It can’t be that bad, can it? How wrong could VW have gotten it? Countless reviews said the center screen and HVAC situation was abysmal, but that must have been an exaggeration for entertainment’s sake, right? These were the questions swirling in my mind prior to taking delivery of the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R press…

2022 BMW M5 Competition: Ultimate Driving Missile
/
/
comments
Nothing says BMW like the M5. Sure, the M3 is the enthusiast choice, but match prestige with driving preciousness and luxury appointments, and the M5 stands on a pedestal all its own. But there was a gap when other cars overtook the BMW as the top-tier choice for speedy executive travel. Has the 2022 BMW…

The 2022 Escalade Sport is Cadillac embracing its extravagance
/
/
comments
Amidst a flurry of life mayhem I spent a week with the 2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport. Having grown up in a household consisting solely of GM vehicles (Tahoes, mainly) the Escalade stood atop the pedestal of what luxury meant, a symbol of making the financial leap from Chevy to wealthy. Years on, the Escalade still…
