You Could Just Not...

Ross catches up with Patrick Costello, showrunner of the re-booted Ice Road Truckers series

Ross, Chris, and Kamil are back with Episode 374. Recorded in July and then slow walked (by...you know who you are); it's ready for your ear holes. Adventures, off-roading, hauling with a Wagoneer, Ginetta racing, and is that rear slider powered or non powered?

Our brief hiatus is over! Ross Ballot, Chris Tracy, and Kamil Kaluski introduce some format changes for Hooniverse Podcast 373

Like a project car on blocks, sometimes it takes longer than you'd expect to get rolling again. Here's our first episode of 2025, and we start it off with guest Doug DeMuro to talk about the enthusiast and new car market and some favorite recent drives. It's a conversation that takes a lot of twists and turns, but is never boring. Listen now! Patternicity video clip from Niles Heckman used with permission

Here's a snack for your ears. We've packaged all the intros since our relaunch into a single episode. We’re proud of our new format, and we think you’ll like this treat. Full show links are below. We’ll be back soon with the first Hooniverse Podcast episode of 2025. Sounds Great, Still Filling? Welcome to the new Hooniverse Podcast! Hooniverse Podcast Episode 367: You Could Just Not Hooniverse Podcast 368: Gravity Bends Light Don’t Shoot the Cat – Hooniverse Podcast 369 Gratitude – Hooniverse Podcast 370

Nobody in Boston had heard from Halifax for much too long.  Something was wrong up there. And it was bad. It was a traffic accident with a two-mile blast radius. Roads were impassable. Railways were twisted. People resorted to digging with their hands to get to trapped victims. And that night, a blizzard buried the city in two feet of snow.  And it was the event that began a yearly tradition of gratitude.

Short circuit nature and you’re gonna get a shock eventually.  Despite the mutual love and deep respect between man and beast, the fact remains: Sometimes they bite you.

Novelty and improvement are strange bedfellows.  Most of the time you get one or the other. And improvement might just mean a bump in short term revenue or stock price bump.  A new AND better experience for you?  Those are the rare ones.  Here’s some new things we’ve seen lately. You decide what kind of an improvement they are.

Come with us as we explore this through-line in both the figurative and literal senses, touching on topics like new car sales, market trends, and the imminent demise of a storied designer’s latest attempt at branding. And who remembers the Plymouth Prowler?

When you’ve got an illuminated 7-foot-tall middle finger on a pole, it’s pretty clear.  The main issue is a denied building permit, but the giant obscene gesture? Totally allowed. The State can’t stop it.  It’s been there since 2018, and it’s probably not what Vermont legislator Ted Riehle had in mind when he pushed through the state’s billboard ban 55 years ago. The Finger’s not a billboard, and it doesn’t advertise anything. But it is a sign. Of unintended consequences.
