Top Gear USA filming in Reykjavík

comments
Our readers are a great bunch, and we often get excellent stuff dropped at our tipsline. Keep ’em coming! From commenter Eywolf comes this scoop, fresher than Icelandic Hákarl shark: he was out driving in the Reykjavík city centre and saw what he identified as Top Gear USA filming an Icelandic special at the Hallgrimskirkja,…

BoldRide takes a spin on the new EPCOT Test Track
/
/
comments
I’ve always wanted to ride the GM Test Track at EPCOT. Unfortunately, I’ve never made the trip to DisneyWorld, and if I did I would most likely wind up spending my time trying to complete the Around the World Beer Challenge (without puking on Minnie’s shoes). My time has run out on the old track,…

Pony Cars and Ponies – A New Hooniverse Rivalry
/
/
comments
It’s safe to say that pretty much everyone here at Hooniverse is a huge fan of the 24 Hours of Lemons. It’s like Le Mans endurance racing, only without the multi-million dollar racing programs and team trailers that cost more than a typical neighborhood. Each car at any given Lemons event has to be…

Seconds Saturdays at Hanzel's: Be There
/
/
comments
All right folks, this is your second and final reminder that Seconds Saturdays will be taking place this Saturday, July 9th at Hanzel’s Auto Body Works (more businesses need to end in “Works”, by the way). If you missed the details last time, we’ll summarize to say it’s basically the car show that Hooniverse would…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition – The Lost Grateful Dead Truck is Found

comments
We at Hooniverse have some of the best fans on the internet. Want Proof? Well we received this tip from Steve Cabella about a lost treasure (well, treasure is in the eye of the beholder…) found in Berkley, California. The fact that it was rediscovered in Berkley is absolute karma.

Announcing Seconds Saturdays at Hanzel's in Oakland
/

comments
Long has Southern California held the Informal Saturday Morning Car Show crown, what with Cars and Coffee Irvine and the Early Rodders show in La Canada Flintridge (or is that Montrose? Or is that Glendale?). Sure, these events feature jaw-dropping machinery (and occasionally my jalopies), but there are two major problems with them: One, they…

Fastback Friday: The 2011 Honda CR-Z
/
/
comments
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…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Hooniverse Asks – What Car Should Kris Buy?
/

comments
Please allow this olelongrooffan to offer my apologies to both my fellow Hoons and my fellow contributors for my lack of posting here in the Hooniverse lately. A couple weeks ago I received a distress call from a friend (unfortunately without benefits) of nearly ten years. Kris had relocated from MickeyMouseLand to the the Land…

Mustn't Complain

comments
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…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Roadwork Edition
/
/
comments
This olelongrooffan doesn’t often offer a suggestion to check out one blog over the other. There are a ton of great ones out there. But I do have this to say about that. The Roadwork blog, as noted in the sidebar here in the Hooniverse, is definitely a must read. Excellent writing as well as…
