Hooniverse \\ who-kni-vur-s \\ noun;
1. A combination of the words "Hoon" and "Universe"
2. The universe of all things hoon
3. Your favorite website devoted to a love of all things with wheels and an engine.
The word hoon is a term that comes to us by way of our friends down under. In Australia, hoon refers to someone who drives in a reckless manner, and this has led authorities to develop anti-hoon laws. Here in the United States, however, we've adopted the word and redefined it. Our definition refers to someone who loves the simple act of driving. Be it at a 1/10th cruise in a beloved classic machine, or a 9/10ths rip down one's favorite canyon run.
We're based in Southern California.

Yes can set Mav to tell were the charing station are. And norrow it down to what level of charging you want.
This guy is super special 😂
WLTP Test cycle is a muddy test, which was designed by car makers in germany. So they where able to claim ridiculus low consumptions from ICE cars. With BEV the WLTP makes even less sense. More sense would be a 50km/h and 120km/h duration consumption without wind and water influence, to get a feeling of city and overland drives.
I love the thunder gray
As a fellow mountain biker.....this vehicle is tits.
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!
Love my 650s! I had 12c first and loved it but the 650s with updates & spider just make it even better.
Heavy overpriced and slow with no Manual. USELESS SUPRA IS THE ANSWER.
You want transmission issues… want crappy service and warranty?? Buy this car here … you will have enough troubles to last a lifetime… stay away from Thunder Bay ontarios Hyundai… very very dishonest place to deal with… bought mine and had trouble with engine and transmission within 2000 km … then they laughed at me when I told them what’s wrong… very disappointed… class action lawsuit coming soon!
This is my favorite Super Car. I am waiting for the next itteration before I end up grabbing one. I am hoping they change the exhaust note a bit. I think the new GranTurismo sounds better, which is hilarious since it's the same engine. I would rather not spend that much money on a car, then sink a ton of money into a custom exhaust if I can avoid it. lol
Cool eSprinter, but after seeing that W113, now all I can think about is a proper classic SL with an EV conversion. That would be epic.
May of 2024 I drove one with 105k miles on it and I'd swear it has 10k miles on it. Still looks amazing and has some of the smoothest acceleration I've ever felt. It's on the short list of next cars.
You are an awful, negative Archie Bunker curmudgeon.
What a fun, friendly comment - thanks!
Do you prefer this over the panamera ?
Go back and forth on them to be honest - both are awesome. You're not wrong for picking either one.
Same here to be honest lol , just on reliability wise ,what do you think ? also do you suggest 5.5 L over the 4.0 L ?
I have one and we don't need to wear a helmet, thank god. It's like being required to wear a helmet in a convertible ua-cam.com/channels/mn3KfLLSRJ-dXWESK_jb-A.html
To be fair, you have a little bit more protection in a convertible. I could see feeling ok driving one without a helmet, but I don't like stuff potential smacking me in the head.
I actually like the way the i7 looks. The up-charge for the "big boy" M70 model is a bit of an overreach by BMW. It's like $50K over the i7xdrive60 and I just don't see it.
You heated the bolt head, not the nut. So all you did was expand the bolt into the nut, making it tighter
The nut was already easy on and off. I couldn’t get the bolt to slide out of position at all. Was trying to use the nut as leverage to find a spot to hit it.
That "lull" as you call it is "traction control ". Do your homework, and you will never get caught not knowing what you're talking about. Also, where are the stats, tests, scientific information? Your video is you, mindlessly blabbing on about your opinion when opinions are like ass holes because we all have them, and they all don't mean shit to me.
This is ruined. should have restored it. and not restomod it.if you feel you have to restomod it do it to ford or chevy Theres nothing special about them
69-70 chargers are my favorite
😂just bought a 2023 and yes just not ready for the look of an E.. wanted a little bigger than my C300 with a bit more power! Great review. Totally agree even tho I love it❤
Dumbest carsbi have ever seen, stay away from motorcycle rides, you don't belong
Sling shits are the dumb cars I have ever seen, the way the drivers like to insert themselves into motorcycle rides shows what kind of deuch bags drive them
The Slingshot is a vehicle I theoretically should like, but don't. After all, I've owned a Can-Am Spyder for 11 years and absolutely love it. Heck, my very first contribution to Hooniverse back in 2009 was a design for a reverse trike buggy thing. But I test rode a first-gen Slingshot in 2017 and found it a major disappointment. The cockpit was crude and uncomfortable, the ride was unpleasant, steering was really wonky. It was bad enough to make me genuinely angry with Polaris. Imagine some Chinese no-name factory made a cheap knock-off Mazda Miata clone with horrible tires and half the bodywork stripped off it, and that's the Slingshot Experience. They've since dumped the old GM Ecotec engine, and it sounds like they've improved the build quality and driver's space since then. So perhaps I wouldn't be so critical of a newer one, but I have no reason to give it another try. I'll happily stick with motorcycle seating and controls for my three-wheelers, thank you.
Cool as it is, I’d take a Mog over this any day
Have you ever driven an Ariel Atom or even better a Nomad? I think you'd love the Nomad
I've ridden in an Atom years ago and I'm DYING to drive a Nomad, that's on the dream car list... I know someone with one, and I'm trying to make it happen.
I hope it happens
props for wearing the seiko arnie
It's the "daily driver" - love this watch.
I don't agree that this is "as good as you could do with a 3-wheel set up". Just look at the Scorpion P6, Corso concepts, Aptera, etc.
Still not as good as a four-wheel setup though, that's the problem.
Let me know when you come across a wrecked one with a good engine. Would love to have that 200hp all aluminum 8500rpm engine in my Miata.
Right? Seems like a fun swap
Is it more fun than a Miata?????
No, because the driving dynamics and interior comfort are better.
A Miata is more useful in this case, and still more fun.
The other day my Ford escort slept on the road overnight and now it won't move.now that's a real sleeper. If it wakes back up can I call the mummy. Support?
Thanks for not saying "Hunh-DAH-EE" :)
Can the rear seats be removed?
Badass
the backseat is the same as front seat 😅
Are you doing any upgrades or keeping it stock?
Shocks will give a 1” drop. As for the rest, it’s going from an I6 to a V8 car, so that means bigger rear end, better brakes, etc.
It’s actually pronounced Milli-waa-kay which is Algonquin for “the good land.”
I think there is still much debate over that and its original pronunciation.

why would you park or even drive a bagged car balls deep into gravel??
Does it compare with the taycans? Or is it a budget package like-taycan. When i watched your video about the taycans, there was love in the air. This experience is like a compromised love affair... What's up? Excellent videos Jeff! Thank you :)
The Porsches are a different animal really but this is a fun track-ready EV hatch. I can live without the noise and shifting but it’s nice to offer that for those who want it. I need to spend more time with one to really figure it all out

Last time I heard VW OWNED BENTLEY/RR??
BMW owns RR. The 7 series actually has like 70% of the Phantoms internals
Bought some BMW parts from the dealer the other day it had a sticker on it with BMW logo, Rolls-Royce logo and mini Cooper logo
Nice music at the end Jeff. Nice choice
