Rich Corinthian Primer: The Cordoba SPEEDSTER!

What would KHAAAAANNNNNNN drive?

Unfortunately, you can’t buy this car anymore*. Not from the safety of your seat, anyway. You’ll have to actually get close, admire its outta-sight! bodywork, its wheels that could harbor an entire Albanian refugee family, and the custom tonneau cover stolen from Batman’s skate park. You’ll have to meet its intrepid seller in Viva Las Vegas, smell the Drakkar Noir emanating from his pointy chest hairs, shield your eyes from his Montezuman gold amulet, grasp his ring-laden hands, look him in his sunglasses, and make the man an offer! That’s how we do business in America, friend! That’s how we keep the Cordoba’s memory alive!

From the looks of it, it didn’t sell (I wonder why). But for $5,800, you could be (could have been) Captain Kirk’s nemesis!

The 2011 Keeneland Concours D’Elegance, Featuring The Alfa Romeo Club

SSurfer321 recently visited the Keeneland Horse Race Park in Kentucky for the Concours D’Elegance, and unlike a certain Mr. Thompson, did not find it decadent or depraved. We think. -Blake

Keeneland Horse Race Park, in Lexington, KY is celebrating its 75 Year annicersary. The Bluegrass area of Kentucky is steeped in a rich history of horses and their power, but on this day, they are celebrating a different kind of horsepower. … Continue Reading

Hooniverse Asks – What Would You Do With This Rolling Corvette Chassis?

Tony Robbins approves!

It’s not often that fate smiles down on us with, say, an extra scoop of gravy in our KFC mashed potatoes, or a crosswalk free of Hoverounds while you’re barreling down a crowded street. Today is one of those fortuitous occasions, brimming full of hope and confidence!

2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec And V6

There’s a scene in Glengarry Glen Ross when maestro salesman Blake (played by Alec Baldwin, a fact I’m particularly fond of) berates a wage slave of the offices of Mitch and Murray:

Dave Moss: What’s your name?

Blake: F**k you. That’s my name. You know why, mister? ‘Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, and I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. That’s my name.

Well, joke’s on you, Alec Baldwin: Hyundai doesn’t build punchline-worthy cars anymore!

Stainless Steel Stays In Style In Finland!

Editor’s note: Sticking with the Finland theme laid down by our Mr. Scroggs, this was written by friend-of-Hooniverse Antti of Finnish Camaro fame, who recently visited a man in the Great White North with a Delorean that somehow hasn’t rusted to metal shavings. Antti himself owns a Mitsubishi Sapporo, and is living proof that the 1980s will never die.

Remember getting tickets to see the band you loved as a kid? You used to get all the albums, blu-tack posters on your wall, talk excitedly with your friends about their best work and wishing you could one day see them live. Remember it all?

Hang on, I’m going somewhere with this.

Last Call – Built By Leprechauns Edition

And fueled by Bushmill's!

We bid cheerio! to British Week with a public service announcement. Support the Irish economy (circa 1981): buy a Delorean, built in Belfast with pride!

And seeing as St. Patty’s Day should last all month week, it’s entirely appropriate that this bit of fond Irish nostalgia shall carry us into the weekend, one filled with more horrific and entertaining cases of liver abuse. Remember, yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards.
