Hooniverse

Chris and I are back in the studio and we've got some news on our own cars. Mine is that the Wombat no longer plays host to a non-running HEMI and transmission. Those are out, sold, and gone! Chris has bigger news in that he bought a Porsche Macan S as his new daily driver. His Ford Fiesta will be up for sale soon as well.In this episode we also chat about Rally Rd, which is a very interesting project that sales shares in vintage cars. It's basically a stock market of sorts for expensive old machines.Finally, we dive into your questions before realizing it's getting late in the summer season and no one cars about podcasts right now.

Josh Ostrander and I head on off to Baja to drive the Wide Open Buggy down in the Mexican desert. This podcast is recorded in two parts; the first part is on the way down to Mexico and the second is in the car on the way home from the border. What do we talk about? Well... I mean, I kind of told you that already. It's about what we think Baja will be like and then talking about how the trip went in the second half.Listen in and I hope you enjoy this one.

Friend of Hooniverse Adi Desai joins me on this episode of the Hooniverse Podcast. Adi is in town visiting from Canada, where he is part of the team that runs http://doubleclutch.ca/. Adi happens to enjoy big old Benzes like I do, so we chat about his 560SEL. We also happen to have stopped at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center just before recording... so we've clearly got Benz on the brain in an extra strength dosage.

Chris is on the East Coast so I'm sitting solo on this one. That means I'm down in my garage, sitting in the front seat of my Benz, with a glass of wine in my hand... and a podcast microphone in the other. Topics this week include a dash of news;Goodwood highlightsAston Martin DBX to get its own platformToyota will offer an four-cylinder engine for the Supra... somedayAfter that it's on to the questions, and you have some good ones this week. Really, you have good ones every week. Finally, we dive into a bit of my own car stuff. I just spent a week with the Lexus GX460 and you can find a review of tht truck on Truck Central right now. Later, Josh Ostrander and I are heading south of the border to drive buggys with Wide Open Baja. Additionally, my 1974 W114 Benz is fixed up and back home.

Chris and I walk through a bit of the news to kick of episode 256. On tap, we have to talk about:BMW moving some production to China.The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster that sold for $3.7MMVW bringing its ID R to GoodwoodHonda has built a Mean Mower V2After that we dive into all of your questions before talking a bit about what we've got going on ourselves. I spent a week in the GMC Canyon Denali and I've since swapped into a Volvo V90. Additionally, my Benz comes back this week and then later this month I'm heading to Baja to drive a Wide Open Buggy. 

This one's late but we have EXCUSES!1) It was the the 4th of July.2) Chris had to deal with his lame as Internet provider.3) That's it... we're sorryIn this episode we have Jonathon Klein and Patrick Costello on the show. There's a bit of news but then we once again dive into the world of automotive television. Patrick provides great insight while Jonathon and I realize we're never going to be famous.Like ever.

Welcome to Part Two of my conversation with Rick Radcliffe and his vehicular adventures. We're picking up right where we left off last week, which was in a discussion of the various track events that Rick has been enjoying. He's only had his Subaru WRX for a little bit, but he's already making the most of this one.

Rick Radcliffe is once again on the show. He's stopping by to tell us a bit about his current garage situation and then we dive into what he's doing with his new daily driver. A Subaru WRX that is being used around town but also out on the track.We run a bit long so I've decided to break this up into two parts. Today you'll get Part One and next week we will run Part Two. Here we also get into a bit of the news while your questions wind up in the second episode.

We're in Chris' new apartment and we're not in full studio mode yet, but we still want to run things a bit old school while exploring the new. So for Ep252 we bring it back to the original format; The News!We kick things off by talking about the Aston Martin Rapide AMR, Forza Horizon 4, the Shelby GT350, and Rolls-Royce's Cars and Cognac event. After that it's time to talk about our own cars and what we're driving. This week I'm in an Audi R8 Spyder before I swap into a Lexus LC500. The following week I get a chance to sample the new F-150 diesel and I'll be towing a small Airstream behind.Finally, we move on to your questions. Patreon first, as always, then Twitter and Facebook. This old format feels right, so we're going to run it this way for awhile and get back into our groove.

Fresh off the Nissan Kicks launch Manuel Carillo joins me in the future home of the podcast to record amongst the clutter of my many unpacked boxes. This week we discuss a little bit about the Kicks (much of the trip was still embargoed) Manuel fills me in on the new Mustang Peformance Pack 2, we geek out on car audio gear and I reflect on just how ridiculous it is to drive a full size truck in a major city like Los Angeles with my review of the Chevrolet Silverado HD2500 High Country Duramax ultramega torque monster 7200.

Blake BZR Rong returns alongside friend of Hooniverse Jonathon Klein to deliver an on-the-road podcast. The pair are attending a press event in Utah and they decided to sit down and chat about all things automotive. Well, first they make fun of Chris and I and then they get to talking about cars.. eventually.Regardless, they're funny and you should listen.

Josh Ostrander joins Chris Hayes and Jeff Glucker on this episode of the podcast. We're recording at 4 Sons Brewing once again, and we have a few things to talk about. Josh still enjoys his boring Alltrack. Chris still wants to sell his Fiesta. I still need to fix things on my Benz.Also I drove an Aston Martin DB11 AMR, and I can't tell you how that went just yet. But go look at the released specs compared to the current DB11 V12, and read the press release to see the changes and you'll have a good idea of what's going on there.Finally, we dive into some questions before I cut them off to talk negatively about someone else... for good reason.

I'm solo. Not Solo. Though that would be fun...This is a solo episode, and today I'm talking about my two Benz project cars. The one that drives and the one that doesn't. After that it's question time, and we have plenty of those to run though. We'll cover everything from project cars, more thoughts on what Ford is doing, and maybe even talk a bit about beer.Hit play and enjoy Episode 248.

Patrick Costello joins me on this episode of the podcast and we walk about automotive television. He's an Executive Producer for Truck Night in America and we worked together on Top Gear US (when it was still good, on the History channel). So we wanted to talk a bit about what goes into making a show, why other shows don't work, and what we do like out of certain shows.After that we dive into your questions. Also we're recording from a brewery - thanks again Four Sons Brewing!

Associate Video Producer Josh Ostrander joins me in an Infiniti QX60 as we drive to the other side of Los Angeles to see the new Avengers Infinity War film. Along the way, we talk about an old Mustang, Josh's new Volkswagen, my Benz wagon, Ford's no-more-cars decision, and a few other bits and pieces along the way.We didn't crash. So thumbs up for that!

Jeff had to step out this week... something something I'm a father... something something daugter...  so I took the chance to meet up with Hooniverse regular Zack Klapman for a one-on-one catch up.  This week we cover the Long Beach Grand Prix, the recent passing of the "One Take" reigns to Zack and my deliberations on a new daily.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has joined the party! I'm driving the Italian sports sedan this quick and so far *knock on wood* it hasn't broken down. That's amazing considering the car has done that for pretty much everyone else that's driven it.Beyond that we talk a bit about Chris' upcoming potential car purchase, my Benz duo, and an upcoming loan of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.After that it's question time, and as always, you folks have some good ones.

Elana Scherr, formally of Hot Rod and Roadkill, joins us in the podcast studio to talk all things car. She has a hell of a growing fleet on her hands, and we have to dive in and see what is going on with a handful of those rides. Most notable might be her 1970 Dodge Challenger, which has seen its 440 engine swapped out for a race-prepped 505.After taking a deep dive into the world of too-many duallys and Mopar madness in different states of repair, it's time for your questions.

Friend of Hooniverse Jonathon Klein stops by to join us in the studio. We talk about some of the fast machines that Klein has driven lately, and that includes the Lamborghini Huracan Performante, Scarbo open-wheel vintage Ferrari tribute race car, and a few McLarens. After that I remind everyone that the new Jeep Wrangler is really good before we dive on into your questions.

Spoiler alert: the new Jeep Wrangler is good! The 2018 Chevy Silverado, however, isn't so great. What's also good is a Kia Stinger GT AWD that wears snow tires and is let loose on a winter driving course. Those are the main topics this week, but we also tackle your podcast questions.Finally, we dip into some upcoming vehicles and then also try out a new segment at the end of the podcast. It's a talk about some photo/video/travel gear. This time around we cover the Wandrd Access duffel, Mavic Air, and some upgraded ear pads for the Audio-Technica ATH M50x headphones.
