This doesn’t just apply to racing though, as proper throttle modulation can make for a…

    I know that not every cop is a bad cop, and I don’t have a negative attitude towards the police what so ever. When I got my mega speeding ticket a few years back, the police officer was exceedingly polite and even asked me about the car I was driving (“How’s it handle?!” “Great.. until…

Mr. Han Solex himself has since moved on to a writing gig at Road & Track (my, aren’t you fancy) and the Hooniverse Podcast died when he left. Now, however, it’s making a triumphant…

    I like alcohol. No, this isn’t going to be that type of post (not yet anyway…) I enjoy trying new beers and a new bar can bring about new friends. Where is “the best bar” is a question that would seemingly have hundreds or thousands of answers. In a new film, one man sets out…
