Hooniverse

This week we're joined by friend of the podcast Abe Drimmer (former of Road & Track).  We discuss the Forza 6 press launch event where Microsoft showed off its latest game and Ford brought a nearly produciton ready Focus RS and GT350 along with the halo car of the moment the Ford GT.  In addition we cover the current shakeup at the Nurburging and the possible cessation of manufacturer testing...

It's a short episode this week, but it's an on-the-road episode. This was recorded while Jeff was at the Nürburgring a few weeks back. He sat down in his hotel and spoke into the recorder for 20 minutes. No, this time it's not going to be like the Scotland podcast. While he swears he'll try to recreate that "magic" someday, today is not that day. Instead, here's a bit of insight into what went dow...

This week Blake and I are joined by Jonathon Klein ( @Jonathon_Klein ) from Bold Ride .  Jonathon and I recently attended the HRE Wheels open house with Jeff along with Jason Connor, Rick Radcliffe and Matt farah and spent the day making fun of tacky people and observing all manner of exotic and some rather less than exotic cars.  The big news this week is that Blake now owns a reliable (hopefully...

Our guest this week is Kevin McCauley, who is a photographer with an eye for making cars look really good. The podcast format runs old school this week as we start with a bit of new car chatter. Up for discussion is: New ND Mazda MX-5 Miata first drives are coming in. Jaguar is already announcing a larger crossover/SUV before its F-Pace has gone on sale. Jeep is rumored to be prepping a Trackhawk...

This week Herr Glücker returns from the fatherland and regales us with tales of Aston Martins, Nordeschleifes and Toyoda's. In addition we're accompanied by Rick Radcliffe and Jason Connor strong auxillary members of the Hooniverse podcast. We talk cars, we meander, quote the Simpsons and likely make people a littel uncomfortable but we're OK with that.

Our friend Matt D'Andria ( @Motorator ) cohost of Carcast alongside Adam Carolla swings by to tell us about their new movie "Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman".  We of course cover a lot of ground on the Newman front however we also get into Matt's very ambitious 93 Cobra project, how Matt got into the podcast world and a little inside baseball on the subject of press fleets.    

This week Blake and I are left to our own devices as Jeff makes his way back to "the old country" to spend some quality time with Aston Martin. Meanwhile Blake and I wax poetic on mechanical engineering, the realities of apartment living and remote California locales. Additionally Blake reviews the Mercedes SL550 and we try to figure out what he should replace his now defunct Miata with.

We're 102 episodes old now, which means we're tired. Hence the short episode... Blake tells us about life at the Petersen, I tell you about life with my truck, and Chris has no voice.

Zack Klapman from the Smoking Tire and AJ Gordon from The Petersen Museum join host Jeff Glucker and producer Chris Hayes in the podcast studio. In this episode we learn what it's like to drive an old truck in a city filled with new cars. Also, Zack tells us about some of the stuff DRIVE has been up to, including the recent Middle East TV special, and AJ talks a bit more about what's going on at t...

The chatter this time around centers on the new Furious 7 movie, joining the cult of Harbor Freight, and then what we plan on doing for episode 100.  There's also a bit of light HoonTruck and Miata news. As a heads up, after episode 100 we're heading out to the Alibi Room in Los Angeles. We'll record on Monday...

On this episode, we dive right into talk about Blake's Miata. He's about 300 miles into the 500-mile break-in period of the new engine. From there it's some talk of my truck and Chris' Fiesta before we move on to the world of New Cars. Oh and stay tuned for more information on a potential get together after episode 100

In this episode hosts Blake and Jeff are initially joined by producer Chrisy Hayes before taking a brief break and returning with Friends of Hooniverse Cory Burns and Zack Klapman. We talk about Blakes Miata, my HoonTruck, and the 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Supercharged that I'm driving this week... and then shit gets real. Mad real.

This week Blake and I are joined by Ben Hsu founder of Japanese Nostalgic Car . We of course cover all manner of bygone japanese motoring but we also touch on Miata rotaty conversions, Fiesta projects, bad action movies, Ayn Rand fashioned distopias and why Blake's mom loves DSM cars.

With Jeff out of town and Blake writhing in agony from "the fevers" Zack and I were left with little recourse but to sit down with our friend and all around Hoontastic yobo Corbin Goodwin. Many of you likely know Corbin from the " Zero Fucks Given" RX-7 , the Jettamino  and most recently his drift Rolls .  Beyond those projects we talk about Corbin's day job of driving for Lyft, the mertis of rota...

This week former Hooniverse producer and frequent contributor Zack Klapman joins us with tails from New Zealand.  The Smoking Tire film crew recently embarked on a lengthy trip to kiwi-land that stretched the across much of the country and brought a variety of highly modified and custom built cars. 

The Ring Brothers are in town to show off their latest award-winning creation known as Recoil. While they're out West, they've been kind enound to jump into the podcast palace. Mike and Jim Ring stop by to chat about how they got started and what they have in store for the future. Also, they brought beer.

We've been busy... this week Blake and I go in depth into the 2015 Lexus RC F, Chevy Colorado and Chevy Trax while also covering the newly announced Focus RS, Ferrari 488 GTB and Porsche Cayman GT4. In addition we also talk about Blake's quality time spent with the current Aston Martin lineup and my most recent purchase; a 2015 Fiesta ST.

This week Blake and I decided to record an episode inside the 2015 Ford F150 Ecoboost whilst venturing to the wilds of deep Corona California to pick up his freshly built Miata engine. This week we cover the Ford GT, Buick's lack of direction, chassis stiffening, mid-engine Corvettes, the Mercedes SLS + AMG GT all under the veil of imminent road rage.  Please excuse some tapping noise at the very...

Host Jeff Glucker and Producer Chris Hayes dive into some new car chatter. One of the main topics is the subject of the future of hot rodding, and how Jeff believes it will be about electric cars, coding, and drive-by-wire adjustments.

Jeff and Blake are back in the old-school Podcast Palace of Love in this episode, and there's a lot to talk about. The 2015 Detroit Auto Show just took place and the reveals were pretty awesome. Ford killed it, Buick surprised everyone with a lovely concept, and a handful of other automakers showed some great products. Beyond the new car news, Blake has a bit of news of his own. He's got a new gig...

The holidays are over, which means it's time to get back to work. Host Jeff Glucker is joined by producer Chris Hayes to chat about what they've been up to. Also, it's time to dive into some new car news before we take a lookat our own cars. As you know the Civic Si is gone, and Jeff talks about what he's looking to find to replace the Honda. He's going in quite a different direction.
