Craigslist: Porsche-Powered Ice Racer Karmann Ghia
/
/
comments
This little piece of history is so awesome, it deserves to be shared among the Hoonitariat. Back in the 1960s, someone decided it would be a good idea to make what amounts to a long-wheelbase Porsche 356 for ice racing. By using a late 1950s Karmann Ghia and dropping in a Porsche 356B Super 90…

Riding On The Track For More BFGoodrich Sampling

comments
As part of last week’s adventures testing BF Goodrich’s new performance all-season tire, we were treated to some on-track mega-speed action through a series of ridealongs in some truly wicked machinery. Through three different cars, we were able to feel the difference in speed between the g-force Comp 2 A/S we’d been testing all day,…

Tire Review: BF Goodrich g-force Comp 2 A/SA Performance All Season?

comments
In the interest of full disclosure, BF Goodrich invited me to Phoenix to test some of their new round black things. They flew me there, put me up in a posh room, fed me posh food, and gave me the opportunity to meet the infamous Judge Phil (but I won’t hold that against them). I…

An Audio Guide To The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours Of Sebring

Endurance racing is great. The current state of sports car racing is better than I’ve ever remembered it. The drivers are great, the cars are competitive, and the racing is practically non-stop. There used to be a time when there was an off-season, but it seems like that doesn’t happen anymore. Sebring is this weekend,…

Kijiji: The Renault In The Crawlspace

comments
This advertisement from Alberta, Canada creates far more questions than it answers. First of all, how on earth did most of a Renault Dauphine (Wren Oh, dough-fan?) find itself buried in the crawlspace of a house? Was this car stolen at some point and chopped up and hidden away? Did some poor sap have an…

Okay, so lets start by getting the “It’s a 914” comments out of the way. It’s a gorgeous Willow Green 1972 Porsche 914 four cylinder with extremely rare chrome four-lug wheels. This car looks to have been originally delivered in North America, but the person who posted this picture to Facebook lives in the Netherlands,…

The Hooniversal Opinion: A Conventional Geneva 2015
/
/
comments
Geneva is an interesting auto show. There is always something really important launching there, and this year is no different. For some reason, it always seems like the major European sports car manufacturers choose Geneva to display their ‘exciting’ offerings. Unfortunately, none of the elegant scribes from our hallowed halls will be in attendance of…

The Heritage Cars Of BF Goodrich

Thanks to BF Goodrich, I am in Phoenix, AZ to test out the new Comp 2 All Season tire (don’t worry, a full review will be coming shortly). Last night, however, there was no driving being done, just an orientation on the tire, a history of the company’s revolutionary and perhaps radical application of technology…

Vanity Plates Are Cool, Right?

comments
Vanity tags are an interesting facet of car culture and individualism. I’ve seen a bunch of really lame ones, but here’s a collection of the few that have been worth taking a picture. After years of snapping license plates on various cars, I thought it would be worth sharing a masterpost of some of my favorites.…

This morning, Goldcrest Motorsport of Kennesaw, GA posted this photo. Yep, it’s exactly what you think it is. A member of the team, who goes by the name Blake, was caught waking the neighbors during an early morning test in the team’s #73 Porsche Cayman Pirelli World Challenge GTS category car. There are going to…
