Hooniverse

For the third year in a row Dan Sandberg CEO of Brembo USA sits down to talk about their new product offerings, vertical integration OEM contracts and personal interests.

Chris says a fond farewell to his Ford Fiesta ST. The FiST will be missed, but it's not straying too far from the Hooniverse family orbit. Our friend Jason Connor is buying the car. Hopefully, I'm able to sell my Benz as quickly as Chris has shipped off the Fiesta. For now though, we're here with a guest for Episode 282 - Patrick Costello is back to talk a bit about the new season of Truck Night in America. He also trekked out to King of the Hammers for a day, and he hasn't yet made any progress on his Jeep Cherokee.

Chris is ready to sell his Ford Fiesta ST. Jeff is ready to sell his Mercedes-Benz 280. And he's just bought a 1991 Mitsubishi Montero to replace the old German sedan. Not a direct swap, but who cares! Welcome to the Hooniverse Podcast, Episode 281...

I sat down with Noah Alexander and Charles Crews from Classic Car Studio better known as the shop from "Speed Is the New Black".  The guys brought an absolutely gorgeous F100 to SEMA which was coincidentally parked directly next to our podcasting studio. We of course talked about the F100 the TV show and upcoming trends in the market we expect to see at SEMA.

Good friend of the show and one of the most talented builders in the industry Jason Engel sat down with me on the Magnaflow stage to judge crowds, talk cars and wax poetic.

Jason once again showed up with one of the most stunning cars at SEMA this years with a 1969 Boss 429 punched out to a whopping 546 cubic inches making 819HP!

I sat down with friend of the show Rick Love from Vintage Air.  We of course talk about Vintage Air's new product lineup but we also talk about industry trends, pet projects and the inexorable advancement of the automotive industry at large and the amazing products we now get to choose from.

Chris and Jeff sit down to talk about the Hooniverse Car of the Year. Which is not a car, but a junkyard-built bike. The pair also chat about the fact that the Dodge Challenger outsold the Camaro in 2018. Hagerty has published a list of the 10 vehicles collectors should scoop up in 2019. Finally, Subaru is set to bring a new S209 STI to North America.

After that it's time for questions from Patreon, Twitter, and Facebook.

Lastly, the pair talk about stuff they've driven. Jeff drove the Genesis G70 while back east. He returned to California and jumped into an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Next up is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, Audi Q8, and Porsche SportsTurismo.

SEMA 2018 gave me the opportunity to test out a new panel format and it went incredibly well thanks in no small part to our guests.

Elana Scherr, Mike Musto, Aaron Robinson and Lyn Woodward all join me live on the Magnaflow stage at SEMA 2018. 

Chris and I chat about:

• The 2019 Ford Ranger
• Jaguar's I-Pace eTrophy Race
• Gymkhana 10
• Lincoln's Coach Door Continental

After that it's question time, we talk about things we've driven, and I talk about giving Chris my back-end access...

Live again from the Magnaflow stage at SEMA 2018 I sit down with Todd Westberg from Heidts Suspension. 

We talk about how their unique product lineup is changing how people look at mid 90s muscle.
