Jeff Glucker found his love for cars as a child when he felt tremendous sadness after watching Ferris Bueller's pal Cameron destroy a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. Fast forward to 2009 and Glucker co-founded Hooniverse.com, which is the go-to place for enthusiasts and lovers of all things automotive (according to him). Over the years Glucker has written for various outlets including Autoblog, NADAguides, Autobytel, Speed:Sport:Life, and a handful of others. While he may often find himself writing about new cars... his heart lies with the older ones.

  • Jeremy Clarkson thinks the Ford GT behaves like a "mad Caterham"

    A Caterham is one of the purest expressions of automotive driving heaven.

So, for Jeremy Clarkson to call the Ford GT...

  • The Morgan EV3 will finally whir to life in 2018

    Do you remember the Morgan 3 Wheeler? You should, because it remains a hilariously enjoyable machine that delivers far more fun than you might expect.

  • Here's how a race car pit stop works

  • Here's how Volvo says it is eliminating turbo lag

  • Hennessey Exorcist Camaro ZL1 1LE owner gets the ride of his life
