Yet another FC150, courtesy of BaT

I cannot lie, the first two articles about these scary awesome forward control 4×4s had me enthralled as I had never seen nor heard of one.  There is just something about them that makes me want to throw on some boots and a heavy flannel jacket, toss my chainsaw in the back and disappear into the [...]

Magazine Articles

Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The 1982 Chevette the GM dropped a V6 into.

Some of you may or may not know that I write a monthly column for Chevy Enthusiast Magazine, titled Weird and Wonderful Bowties. It is quite unlike any other column you may read in a magazine, but not unlike this blog. You see, I don’t like writing about all the usual suspects that might be [...]

1956 Porsche 356 For Sale: Extra Crispy Edition

Insert Witty Billy Joel We Didn't Start the Fire Caption Here

Last Call

Last Call- Russians Were Plane Crazy

That's one Ivan Bigplaneovitch

While Hooniverse likes to focus on those things that have four wheels and fit in an average garage, sometimes we like to point upward and shout there, up in the sky- it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s too much vodka and national pride!

You're back in the USSR, boy, you [...]

For Sale: The Czech is in the Mail

Today, Skoda is a wholly-owned subsidiary of VAG, but back in 1969 it was still under the auspices of the Soviet-Bloc planned economy, which had forced nationalized ownership on the company, and had cut it off from the west, stifling technological progress and access to modern parts.
