    I should really label this NSFW – it’s that sexy. Credit: highwaylass on Flickr Hooniverse, please welcome Harrison Ambs with that warn Hoon greting you’re known for all over the world, especially Poland. Harrison likes bikes. And he curses a lot. And that’s all we really know about him. He is going to be injecting…

    Now that the fireworks, burgers and beer have been cast aside for the endless torture of uncomfortable office chairs and glaring overhead lights, my fellow Hoons, I come to you with a plea. Hooniverse needs your calendar entries for our Hooniversal Event Calendar!

  • Hooniversal Dream Girl – Hellé Nice

    comments

    Luckily for the racing masses, Mariette Hélène Delangle, or as she was later known, Hellé Nice, was born on December 15th, 1900 in France to some pretty unassuming parents. Mom was a home maker, dad the local postman. This lovely woman didn’t start out as a racecar driver; in fact she was the polar opposite,…

    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!

    At one point during my week with the 2011 Honda CR-Z, I found myself pacing a late-model Mercedes SL65 Convertible on the Lion’s Gate Bridge. The comparison between the two vehicles is ludicrous: one is a mild-hybrid with a milquetoast 122 horsepower and 128 lb/ft of torque; the other has thrice the cylinders, four times…

    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…

    I want you to take a good hard look at this nice old couple. On the face of it, they would appear to be the two most idiotically optimistic persons on the face of the Earth, with their tropical-themed thatched beach umbrella and deck chairs. However, if you look a little closer, you will notice…

    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…
