Hooniverse

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 ex...

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 highlights Aston Martin DBX to get its own platform Toyota will offer an four-cylinder engine for the Supra... someday After that it's on to the...

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 $3.7MM VW bringing its ID R to Goodwood Honda has built a Mean Mower V2 After 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 Denal...

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 sorry In 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...

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...

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...

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...

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 spec...

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 through. 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 d...

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. Afte...

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 dua...

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 t...

I'm sitting in a Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport, and it's getting hotter. Regardless, I have things to say and a recorder to capture it all. Topics this week include the Tahoe RST, Tacoma TRD Sport, a trip to Colorado to drive a Kia, and some potential news on a bigger trip coming up in May. Also, we touch on a bit of the news out of Geneva. Specifically, the reveals of the Rimac C_Two and the Aston Mart...

We're back in the studio! Joining Chris Hayes and myself is friend of Hooniverse Manuel Carillo III. You can find his work at his website MC3films . The three of us sit down to talk about a few cars before we're interrupted by; tangents, not cars, and more gunfire. Good times! Topics covered include: Chris' cars, a brief note on Manuel's #ProjectStork Porsche, the Chevy Colorado ZR2, and the Audi...

Solo episode recorded from inside the ridealong chamber of the 2018 Dodge Challenger Hellcat W I D E B O I. Also, I chat briefly about heading off to sample the new Audi RS5, some updates to my Mercedes-Benz 280 sedan, and touch on a few of the vehicles coming to Hooniverse in the next few weeks and months. Sorry for the short solo episode, we'll be back in the studio soon.

Time to send out a solo episode, and this one comes to you from the cabin of a 2018 Ford Mustang. I'm sitting in my garage talking to myself while a Zoom H6 records my dulcet tones. Topics for today include; the aforementioned Mustang, driving the new Subaru WRX STI Type RA and BRZ tS, and heading off to Corsica to sample the Jaguar E-Pace. There's also some news on my 74 Benz and a plea for help...

This week Jon Klein and I venture into the wilds of Burbank California to meet up with friends of the show, Mike and Jim Ring, aka The Ring Brothers.  The guys flew in to show off their amazing 1972 AMX Javelin on Jay Leno's Garage. With an astounding track record for delivering machines as beautiful as they are well-engineered the Javelin does not disapoint.  The Javelin is good for north of 1000...
