The Audi S3 remains an entertaining compact sedan that gives you a taste of Audi luxury. There’s good power under the hood, and the exterior and interior styles are strong without going over the top. But the real news here is the addition of a certain upgrade that arrives thanks to the S3’s more aggressive…

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Tributo Italiano AWD Review
/
/
comments
The Mohonk Mountain House is frozen in time. Nestled atop the Catskills’ best impression of the Alps, the Victorian castle has inspired folklore telling of its corridors being haunted and, not dissimilarly, of Stephen King writing The Shining while staying amidst its grounds. Set overlooking the quaint town of New Paltz, getting to Mohonk means…

Want the Ant-Man Van? Propstore Auction has Got You Covered
/
/
comments
I love movie props. There’s something I find intriguing about the idea of owning something that was actually used in the production of a movie or episode of television that I enjoyed. One of the best places to find such items is the Propstore. Often, they hold auctions to clear out what I imagine to…

Ford Bronco Everglades vs. Jeep Rubicon 392 Final Edition (Seriously)
/
/
comments
I know, I know, you’re thinking, “Y’all are out of your goddamn minds!” and I get that. There is a $50,105 price difference between these two vehicles I’m about to compare. For the price of the V8 Wrangler, you could buy the Bronco and a pretty lovely Wrangler as well. Stick with me, though, and…

2025 BMW M235 Gran Coupe – One Take Review
/
/
comments
Note: I shoot the video in the evening because I did not have much daytime with this car. I chose not to drive on the weekend as the weather was very wintery and this M235 had high performance all-season tires. There is a special place in my heart for BMW vehicles. My first brand new…

Mazda CX-70 – Fewer Seats, Less Zoom Zoom
/
/
comments
The Mazda CX-70 delivers sharp style inside and out. There’s no doubt that, in this world of everything crossover, Mazda builds some nice-looking vehicles. For years, though, Mazda has also been a bit of a leader in that it managed to deliver a crossover that still served up solid driving dynamics through proper suspension, transmission,…

2024 Kia EV9 Land Long Range AWD: Review
/
/
comments
Every so often, a new car catches my eye. People drone on about how all new crossovers look the same, and I’ll admit I buy into that a little bit. Consumers prefer a particular shape, and it catches on across multiple design studios. Kia seems to say “screw that” and regularly and come out with…

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT is Ready to Party in the Dirt
/
/
comments
When it comes to enjoying different vehicles, we like a wide range of things here in the Hooniverse. Rally-ready cars are fun, right? We love the idea of a hot hatch. Not everyone enjoys an electric vehicle, but I personally am a fan. When you sandwich that all together, then upsize it a bit, you…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s a Simple Automotive Term You’ve Misunderstood?
/
/
comments
I am constantly staring at listings on Craigslist, FB Marketplace, and OfferUp. My search is mostly centered on terms like “302”, “289, “347”, “T5”, and “Ford 9”. I’m hunting Mustang parts, obviously, and occasionally I find something interesting, but I have yet to pull any triggers. There’s one listing I keep running across, however, that…

The BMW M4 – Is It a Sports Car or a Grand Tourer?
/
/
comments
Don’t adjust your screen, yes it’s that color. Personally, I think it’s far more interesting to have a pink BMW M4 over something black, gray, or white. Regardless, the most interesting thing about this particular M4 isn’t the hue; it’s the gearbox backing up that twin-turbocharged straight six. This one’s got a stick! BMW still…

Two weeks ago, we went to the Team O’Neil Rally School with our Ace Performance Project Tesla. We went there to see if the modified Model 3 will rally and would our modifications make it better. The short answers are: yes and yes Our electric hooptie was driven by Team O’Neil’s Wyatt Knox, who is…

NONWICK – My 1967 Ford Mustang Now has Fresh Front Suspension
/

comments
I’ve been quiet on here about this one. That’s because enthusiasm and progress slow as you enter the tougher parts of project car hell fun. My 1967 Ford Mustang sits as a sort of table in my garage at the moment. It’s the wiring that really gives me pause and a brain itch. The process…

The fine folks over at Blipshift have created a shirt with a great design, and a better goal. After a chat with Friend-of-Hooniverse Jonny Lieberman, the Blip crew turned to one of its CA-based artists to come up with a plan. A shirt needs to be made where all the proceeds go to the help…
