Hooniverse

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 bit of the news while your questions wind up in the second episode.

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 what we're driving. This week I'm in an Audi R8 Spyder before I swap into a Lexus LC500. The following week I get a chance to sample the new F-150 diesel and I'll be towing a small Airstream behind.

Finally, we move on to your questions. Patreon first, as always, then Twitter and Facebook. This old format feels right, so we're going to run it this way for awhile and get back into our groove.

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 major city like Los Angeles with my review of the Chevrolet Silverado HD2500 High Country Duramax ultramega torque monster 7200.

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 specs compared to the current DB11 V12, and read the press release to see the changes and you'll have a good idea of what's going on there.

Finally, we dive into some questions before I cut them off to talk negatively about someone else... for good reason.

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 dive into your questions. Also we're recording from a brewery - thanks again Four Sons Brewing!

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.

After that it's question time, and as always, you folks have some good ones.
