Rejoice with your ears because the Hooniverse Podcast is back again. This is Episode 7, and we’ve apparently decided it’s time to be funny. Blake and I run through a wide range of topics, but we start with some left over feelings from the NY Auto Show. Up first, we blather on about both the…

comments
I got a taste of the new Aston Martin Vanquish during a sopping wet day on a racetrack outside of New Orleans. The car was impressive but my time with the Brit-bred brute was far too brief. I needed more time. I needed to more deeply sample the new seats. I needed time to experience…

Video Review First Drive: 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth CabrioDrop your top and open your ears

comments
The Fiat 500 Abarth is a fun car but not a great car. It produces a rather addicting exhaust note, is fun to squeeze through traffic, and it returns a white-knuckle experience should you venture out on to a race track in one. The Abarth isn’t about the track though, despite the engineers stressing that…

Classic Car Winter Hoonage in Eastern Europe

comments
Summer time is definitely more car-guy-friendly for driving events, shows, rallies, and general get-togethers. Winter does not need to all cold and dark, however, as we will learn today. While ice racing is somewhat popular around the norther regions of our land, I have yet to see autocross on snow which, I think, is a…

Video Review: 2013 Dodge DartReady to Rallye? Not quite

comments
I really wanted to like the Dodge Dart. The exterior styling is wonderful, and the interior cabin space is great. I love the very comfortable yet supportive cloth seats, and the center stack is filled out perfectly thanks to the large touchscreen system. When outside and inside work so nicely together, you’d expect a winning…

We brought our recording gear to New York, and the result is a podcast from the floor of the NYIAS. Well, truth be told, we wound up a few feet above the floor because we recorded Episode Six from the back of a gorgeous boat built by Dave Cheurbini and Cherubini Yachts. This is a…

The most amazing vehicle I've ever driven doesn't have four wheels

comments
Certain vehicles reach deep into your chest and affix themselves permanently to your heart. To your brain. To your very soul. One of the greatest vehicles I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting in my driveway is, without a doubt, the Hotchkis E-Max Challenger. For new machines, I still have strong memories of my time…
