A Winner Is You... and guest Garnett Lee! Apr 09, 2014

Show notes

Video Game journalist Garnett Lee joins host Jeff Glucker and producer Chris Hayes in the podcast palace. They start by talking about Lee's 2013 Porsche Boxster, and then move on to other fun cars. Eventually, however, the chatter turns to talk of video games... but it gets back on track with cars when Garnett wants to talk about the 2005 Acura NSX that Jeff is driving this week.

Smooth Jazz Apr 02, 2014

Show notes

This week Jeff leaves Blake and I to our own devices and that of course means things goes awry. We spend a little time talking about the Dinan BMW 1M, Mazda's new vision for the Miata, Blake is driving the Dragon Jeep, the death of the Mitsubishi Evolution and we get nostalgic via a few tangents.

Praising the CVT? WE'VE LOST OUR MINDS Mar 26, 2014

Show notes

Guest Brendan McAleer joins hosts Jeff Glucker and Blake Z. Rong on the podcast palace couch for this round of "LETS TALK ABOUT CARS, and other stuff, too!"

The gang chats about the new Subaru WRX and STI, including the fact that the CVT might actually work well in the WRX. Also, we welcome back some good beer into the palace thanks to Brendan. Finally, the topic of Singer comes up and we daydream about other vehicles that they should apply their meticulous treatment too.

Floridian gas blizzard Mar 19, 2014

Show notes

After lots of traveling, Blake and Jeff are finally together again. Huzzah!

Blake just drove the Dinan-tuned BMW 1M, a 450HP mouse that is apparently quite good. Jeff went to drive the new Audi A3, learned how to build an engine, and has a very cool update on his Civic.

We're Getting Old... It's Our 50th Episode! Mar 05, 2014

Show notes

Blake Z. Rong and Jeff Glucker are back together in the podcast palace... well actually, there at the Smoking Tire podcast palace to record the 50th episode of the Hooniverse Podcast.

The main topics range from a variety of Geneva Motor Show rides to the interesting things Blake and Jeff have driven recently. This includes an Acura NSX that Blake gets to spend a week with... and Jeff is driven insane with jealousy by this notion.

The Good Ship Rong Reporting For Duty Feb 26, 2014

Show notes

Blake Z. Rong is the man in charge for this one, because Jeff Glucker is off galavanting in Colorado. Guest co-host Zack Klapman and Mr. Rong are joined by the general manager of the west coast offices of Gotham Dream Cars Nick Bailey.

First they talk about the new WRX and STI. Zack, being a former STI owner, had a lot to say. Blake sternly touches on his Kia press car, and Zack talks about the magic of the A8 L diesel's radar cruise control. The guys drool over the Lotus motorcycle, and then Nick epxlains what it was like driving a gigantic truck in Texas.

They also discussed various hyper car designs, spurred by the question, "Would Enzo Ferrari like the Enzo Ferrari?"

A Bill Caswell Flyby Feb 19, 2014

Show notes

Our friend Bill Caswell swings by the podcast palace to spend a few minutes talking up his recent adventure taking in the King of the Hammers. After that, Podcast Producer Chris Hayes and host Jeff Glucker dive into some general car chatter. The topics range from Jeff's recent drive of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI to Hayes' recent flings with both the Chevrolet SS and the Jaguar XFR-S.

Additionally, we talk about some of the more interesting automotive adventures we have coming up. From driving Aston Martins on ice to spending a weekend with a Morgan 3 Wheeler.

Sideways at 150... with Chris Cantle Feb 13, 2014

Show notes

Our guest this week is Road & Track Multimedia Editor Chris Cantle. He's a delightful chap who's rather brilliant with a camera, conned his bosses into spending money on a Miata with 320,000 miles, and was the person riding shotgun when Mad Man Higgins put a Subaru WRX STI rally car sideways on the Isle of Man.

If anyone has some stuff to chat about, it's Mr. Cantle... or Cant-luh as we prefer to say it.

An interview with Pete Brock Feb 05, 2014

Show notes

This week Blake and I met up with Pete Brock a the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Through the course of our conversation we touch upon all the obvious high points of his career such as the Daytona Coupé, the original Corvette Stingray and his time with Datsun/Nissan. In addition to that we learn about Pete's new race trailer business, his admiration of Horacio Pagani's work and his love for Baja racing.

Halfway to 90! Wait, that's not a milestone... Jan 29, 2014

Show notes

Hosts Jeff Glucker and Blake Z. Rong sit down with Matt Farah to chat about all things automotive. Topics in episode 45 range from some of Farah's latest TUNED vehicles, including a pair of delightful Miatas, to the new Chevrolet SS and the Corvette Stingray Convertible.

Blake also talks about how much he hates the Scion tC he is currently driving. He's not very kind to the car...

Additional topics include the recent Mecum auction, and some upcoming adventures that will prove for quite interesting podcast fodder in the weeks to come.
