It's time for another solo episode. Jeff just got back from a family road trip on the east coast. Using an Audi Q7, he and his family trekked from Virginia all the way up into New England. He talks about the trip itself, the car, and seeing his favorite band at his favorite ballpark, near his birthday.

After that there's chatter about the Honda Ridgeline, using track data to improve your times, and the Motor Trend show Engine Masters, plus a bit more.

Hit play and enjoy!

Jeff is on vacation.

Zack is in charge this time, and he's in the studio with guest TJ Fry. Go to http://www.tjdrives.com/ to learn more about TJ, The skinny is that he knows how to handle a car, which is why you'll find him sitting in the driver's seat for film/video projects, or in the passenger seat instructing at the Dirftish rally school.

Jeff and Zack are in the studio this week, and it's time to talk cars. Jeff is fresh off his trip to Atlanta to drive the new Grand Sport Corvette, and Zack is back from filming stuff for The Drive that he can't talk about just yet. Also, Jeff has been keeping track of every vehicle that his daughter Sloane has ridden in over the course of her first year of life. The entire list gets a run through, on this episode of the Hooniverse Podcast.

Host Jeff Glucker is all alone on this one, but he manages to eek out nearly 40 minutes of chatter. Not bad for a guy alone in a room talking to himself!

Topics this week include:

• First Drive of the Infiniti QX30
• Upcoming drive of the Grand Sport Corvette
• Upgrades to the HoonTruck
• The launch of our Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/HooniversePodcast)
• a bit of The News, some upcoming cars, and more

Enjoy!

Jeff is back in the podcast studio and he's joined this week by great friend of the show Zack Klapman. The two talk about Zach's adventure in Germany and his ongoing search for a car. Zack has narrowed it down to hunting for the right E36 M3. Meanwhile, Jeff has some HoonTruck updates and he also recently took a quick spin in a Superformance GT40 MkII.

Jeff is back from Goodwood. No, this isn't the Scotland Part Deux episode that some of you were hoping to find. Instead, this is a more sober look back at what just might be the greatest automotive event on the planet.

Besides Goodwood, Jeff talks about some HoonTruck stuff and a few upcoming trips. One of those will see him driving the new Grand Sport Corvette, so stay tuned for a report on that one.

Once again Los Angeles traffic has split Jeff and I from our hosting duties, however all is not lost. Ken Anderson head of Mountune here in the states and Carlos Lago join me for an extended chat.  Ken shares pretty much everything he can about the development work they're doing on the Focus RS; making it even more impressive.  

Carlos joins in shortly after we start and the turbo Ford talk turns into an appreciation for all things small 4 cylinder and turbo.  In addition we spend a little time on the hypercars of 2015 we all adore but few will touch.

Duncan and Jeff are in the podcast studio to cover all things motorspots. The pair have missed a few weekends of racing, as life gets in the way, but they couldn't miss chatting about this past weekend. It was, after all, the 24 Hours of Le Mans!

There's also talk of the past Indy 500, a slew of F1 races including Monaco and Baku, and the upcoming Indy Car calendar which sees the circus traveling to Road America.

Jeff is on the road, which means you get a shorty podcast today... but surprisingly not a drunk one. He's in Aspen where he just got done testing the new Jaguar XE and F-Pace. He's on his way to Phoenix to see how an automaker does its hot-weather testing, and then the following week he's checking a bucket list item off his travel list. It's time for the Goodwood Festival of Speed!

Also this week, there's talk of the Audi S8 Plus and the HoonTruck.

This week's episode wraps up our SEMA 2016 series of podcasts.  This time Jason Connor and I are joined by good friends Mike Musto (/Drive, Big Muscle, Road & Track) and Larry Kosilla (AMMO Autocare, /Drive Clean, Drive+Protect). This was my final episode from the showfloor and we went out with a bang alongside my voice.
