So Jeff just got back from the 24 Hours of LeMons, and it's safe to say it didn't go as he'd hoped. The car was running far stronger than it had in its first race, according to his teammates. That's great news!Unfortunately that pretty little car truck wouldn't stay pretty for long...

Rejoice all ye faithful, we're back with a semi-normal episode. Apologies for the SEMA glut, but Jeff and Chris have been slammed as of late. Rather than keep that train rolling, Jeff sat down to record a solo episode. No... this won't be like Scotland.Instead, Jeff talks about driving the:Acura RLX HybridAudi S4Subaru WRX STI Series HyperBlueMcLaren 675LTAdditionally, the HoonTruck is back and running better than ever... and Jeff still managed to break something. Also, there's chatter regarding the EPA vs SEMA debacle, talk of an upcoming LeMons race, and a few answers to some social media questions.

Jon Klein and I sit down with Dinan from the Magnaflow booth at SEMA 2015.  We talk about the new products coming to market, their push into the Middle East and Asia, favorite projects from years past and what to look for when picking up a second hand BMW.

In another episode of our SEMA 2015 series we sit down with Justin Atneyel from Weistec. Justin very graciously shared his extensive knowledge on the new Mercedes 4.0 liter turbo V8s, their impressive new transmissions and how Weistec takes the already fast AMG GT and makes it absolutely ludicrous. 

Jeff and Chris are yappin' in the studio, and they're joined by Hooniverse Associate Editor Jason Connor and Friend of Hooniverse Rick Radcliffe. Jason is there because he returned the Million Mile Lexus to Matt Farah earlier in the day, and we wanted to hear his thoughts on his recent time spent with the Cadillac ATS-V.Rick has on hand because he surprised Jeff by bringing the completed HoonTruck to the studio!

In another episode of our SEMA 2015 series I sit down with Jason Engel of Classic Recreations. We talk about their new CR1 Camaro that debuted at SEMA their Eleanor Mustangs the fabrication/custom business and the madness that is SEMA.

Jeff and Chris sit down and chat about CES for a moment before diving into other goodies like:The Cadillac CTS-VThe Jaguar F-Type RHoonTruck updatesPoliticsJust kidding about that last one... fuck politics.

Senior Features Editor of Motor Trend Jonny Lieberman joins the Hooniverse podcast in this episode. He's been a friend to Hooniverse since it began, and even before it all started really. We dive into that history here in episode 133, but not before we kick things off by diving headfirst into the world of beer.We hope you like the bubbly suds because we wind up talking way more about beer than we do cars in this episode. Consider it a holiday treat

Get ready for an old school episode of the podcast. Jeff is in the studio with Chris and guest Zack Klapman from The Smoking Tire, and they kick it like they used to... there's a bit of news, then chatter about all manner of automotive goodness before the trio dive into what's going on with their own cars.

In another live episode from SEMA 2015 Jason Connor and I sit down with Bodie Stroud to talk business, fabrication and of course the outright melee that is SEMA.

This week we're joined by Founder and namesake of Scarbo Performance; Joe Scarbo. Scarbo builds an absolutely gorgeous Ferrari F1 repdroduction dubbed the SVF1 that is shockingly reasonable in cost and simply ridiculous in terms of performance.  In addition Joe shares his background in suspension engineering for off-road, his beginning with Arciero Racing and a bevy of knowledge acquired in small scale manufacturing and fabrication.

In our second episode from Mountune we're joined by our friends Ken Anderson of Mountune, Jim Pierce of Pierce Motorsports and Hooniverse's own Pete Zilliox.  We talk all things hot hatchbacks this episode. Ken and Jim share their inside knowledge of just how big the products of sales for the for ST line have been, along with their insight into the platforms and the realities of running an aftermarket parts company. 

Jason Connor and I sit down with the boys from BBI Autosport and talk Porsches, chassis tuning, fox bodies and of cours the barrage of SEMA.

Chris is fresh back from Las Vegas and the SEMA show where he recorded 14 or 15 episodes(!). This isn't one of those episodes. Instead hosts Jeff and Chris are joined in the podcast studio by friend of the show Jonathon Klein, who also attended SEMA. The three chat about some of the rides in attendance, while also talking about what's coming up on the podcast over the next few weeks.Jeff also gives a bit of insight into his recent Camaro road trip.

Hosts Jeff Glucker and Chris Hayes are taking a gander at the Acura NSX, as the first drive reports filter out. Friend of Hooniverse Alex Roy is talked up as he just finished a cross-country trip in a mostly autonomous Tesla Model S. The Mazda CX-3 proves to be a delightful little machine, and there's plenty to chat about regarding updates to the #HoonTruck.Also, the guys answer some of your Facebook questions.

Chris and Jeff start talking about cars but wander off the automotive path a bit when the subject turns to video games. In this episode we prattle on about the new Civic, new Optima, Chris' Fiesta, and the Subaru Outback that Jeff is driving this week.

Jonathon Klein (@Jonathon_Klein) fills in this week while Jeff tends to his dog (not a euphamism). We discuss the newly unveiled BMW M2, how the ATS-V stacks up against it's teutonic competition in the form of the C63 S and M3, Jonathon gives us his take on the CTS-V, the future of the Z28 and GT350R are speculated upon and Jonathon takes the Fiesta ST project out for a test drive.

Mr. Regular and Roman himself join hosts Jeff and Chris in the podcast studio this week. It's a longer episode to make up for the two weeks we took off.Let's not list what was discussed here... just hit play and ENTER THE WORLD OF MR. REGULAR

Tony Angelo joins us in the podcast studio this week, and listen up because the man knows how to drive and turn wrenches. Tony comes to California by way of the Philly and New Jersey. He is one of Drifting's pioneering drivers here in the States, and he started the Drift Alliance crew which continues to kick sideways ass to this day. Tony is currently the host of Hot Rod Garage on the Motortrend YouTube Channel, where his truck RollSmokey just got some sweet diesel life breathed into it.This man is a lover of cars and we could've kept talking to him for hours... we'll have Tony back on soon.

Bentley releases a new SUV called the Bent-a-guy, so we have to talk about that. There's a new Forza game, so we have to talk about that. Oh, and Mr. Regular had the greatest coverage of a Corvette show ever... ever.
