Sadly, I’m not a big-enough comic book fan to know if Superman owned a car, but I figure that since Clark Kent lived in the booming metropolis of… uh… Metropolis that he probably didn’t so much need a car since he can take public transportation in his mild-mannered reporter state and can soar high over the skyline in…

CraigsList: A Nissan Pulsar NX for the SHO-off

comments
I love Hooniverse’s CraigsList Crapshoot, where my colleague Robert Emslie gives us Hoonitarian Hooniversalists the task of finding some specific automotive characteristic on CraigsList and posting for all the Hoons to see. This week, Robert asked for T-Tops and while I found a glorious Chrysler Cordoba, it was commenter Vroomsocko who took my breath away with…

24 Hours of LeMons: 'North Dallas Hooptie' preview

comments
When the 24 Hours of LeMons visits Texas, weird things happen. Well, weirder than normal. Sometimes lightning strikes the timing tower while the race is red-flagged because of local tornado warnings. Sometimes a Ford Taurus SHO tries to mount a Miata. Sometimes the nuttiest LeMoneers undertake a racecar build that starts less than 24 hours…

I’m not much a fan of April Fool’s Day, but some carefully laid out jokes just hit the right spot. Robert Emslie asked what the best automotive April Fools’ Joke was and 24 Hours of LeMons and King of Hammers competitor Matt Adair responded with a doozy of an Internet prank. Follow the jump for the…

Video: Ride along at pastoral Road America in 1958

Over the last couple years, I’ve developed an obvious affinity for the club racing of yore, the grassroots Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) days of the 1950s when ingenuity ruled the day and when the United States was just figuring out this whole road racing beast. Purpose-built circuits started showing up early in the…

We here at Hooniverse love our motorsport. When we’re not shouting the highest praises for Australian V8 Supercars or writing about the hooptie racing series the 24 Hours of LeMons, we’re letting you know what racing you can keep track of over the pending weekend. However, we have probably been neglectful of the roots of…

Just a few weeks ago, we noted in our 24 Hours of LeMons South Fall preview that the series has visited Carolina Motorsports Park more than any other track with 1 races there. The next-most is 11 races at MSR Houston, which the series will visit this weekend to make an even dozen for Gator-O-Rama.…

Last weekend saw the best Formula One battle in a long time between teammates under the lights in Bahrain. Long Beach turned its streets into drift paradise while NASCAR had to wait an extra day to find a winner in Texas. Across the pond, last year’s WRC champion stretched his 2014 championship lead. Further abroad,…
