Hooniverse

Our guest today is Daniel Cudmore. He's a rather tall actor who hails from Canadia, and you've seen him recently as Colossus in three of the past X-Men films. Cudmore also happens to love cars, which means he's ONE OF US.

His automotive past includes a handful of Subarus, two or three Audis, and an old K5 Blazer that was used to ram a camper van.

Hooniverse Credentials: Approved.

Carlos Lago is a man who drives man amazing machines... but the one that is currently providing him the most thrills happens to be his own project Nissan 240SX. That's because it has a LS3 crate motor that's making 430 horsepower. His car is fast, and it enjoys going fast in both straight lines and sideways as well.

Oh, he also plays host on the Motor Trend channel when he's not churning out stories and reviews for the print side. He's also our guest on episode 83 of the Hooniverse podcast.

Host Jeff Glucker is joined by guest Mike Satterfiled who is the Creative Director behind The Gentleman Racer and MP Speed Shop clothing. Satterfield is also in charge of drumming up drivers for the Rally Historico Transpeninsular, which is a road rally for pre-1973 vehicles that starts in Tijuana and runs down to Cabo San Lucas.

The chatter ranges from the rally and Mike's companies, as well as his stable of vehicles. These include a classic Mini that rocks a camo wrap, and a 1967 Ford Fairlane in full Gul colors. We also talk about some new car news and chat about SEMA some more as well.

This might be the most juvenile start we've ever had...

This is episode 81 of the podcast and we discuss SEMA rides, Zack's Crown Vic, and Jeff provides some updates to his project cars; both the Civic and the Wombat.

Jeff Glucker and Blake Z. Rong head into the Podcast Business Office to prattle on about cars. The main topic of the evening is Rong's recent participation in the Audi A3 TDI Mileage Challenge. He was tasked with driving from Albuquerque, New Mexico to San Diego... on one tank of diesel fuel. That's 824 miles of driving required. That's damn near impossible, but two teams managed to pull it off.

From there the talk moves to the recent Motor Press Guild Track Day event, where Glucker got seat time in a variety of vehicles out at Willow Springs. 

Blake Z. Rong and Jeff Glucker are back together to chat about all things automotive. Rong has been off doing famous journalist things, while Jeff has been roughing it with super cars. Now though, Glucker is driving... a taxi.

Also, the gang falls back into the old format with some new car chatter at the beginning before digressing into covering anything their tiny brains can think up.

Jeff Glucker and Chris Hayes step back into the original podcast palace of love for Episode 78. Blake Z. Rong is off doing professional automotive writer things on the other side of the country.

Topics range from a few favorites revealed at the Paris Motor Show, to Volvos new crazy concept turbo motor, and on to a few things we've driven recently. These include the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, and a few other machines.

Also, Jeff digresses towards the end and talks about a time when he got really drunk...

Rather than take a week off, Hooniverse host Jeff Glucker decided to knock out a 30 minute episode from the cozy confines of his own house. It's just Jeff this week as he prattles on about all sorts of random car goodness. Glucker recently drove the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Roadster as well as the Vanquish Volante, he then mixed it up and stepped up even further by spending a weekend with the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster.

The chatter ranges from the aforementioned cars to the results of the Lightning Lap, some talk of the new Viper, and even a bit about the Subaru Legacy 3.6R.

This week Blake and I are joined by Elana Scherr (@challengeher) and Brandon Gillogly of Hot Rod magazine while Jeff basks in the luxury of Southern California traffic. This week we talk about time spent at the Chrysler press event which included seat time in the Alfa Romeo 4C, Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Viper and Blake spent a little quality time with the new BMW M4.  In addition Elana and Brandon fill us in on Hot Rod Magazine Drag Week and Engine Masters competitions.

The boys are all back in town (minus one Zatch Crapman), and that means it's time to catch up on everything that they've all been up to. Blake got to check out the new ND Miata in Monterrey, and he also drove a Zero SR electric motorcycle to the podcast palace. Meanwhile, Jeff just spent a weekend with the 2014 Dodge Viper, and was also down in Baja to check out the new BFGoodrich KO2 tire.

After that, the talk moves to ... well, the normal nonsense and digressions that you've come to expect.
