comments
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Motorboat Monday. The Electric Car has many opponents within the car enthusiast community because most see it as a soul sucking pod that is devoid of any driving pleasure, couple with a limited range, and a huge price tag. The Tesla Roadster is seen as one of the few…

How Is This Even Possible?

A pileup during Snowpocalypse 2011 (aka Snowtorious B.I.G.) along New Hampshire’s I93 resulted in one of the most implausible accidents we’ve ever seen. Somehow, despite physical probability dictating otherwise, a Ford Fusion ended up perfectly balanced on its nose, sticking straight out of the snow. Click through for the bizarre amateur clip.

The Powers That Be at Hooniverse Galactic Central Command have now received this request quite a few times from commenters from, uh, other sites. While we have never been known for our tendency to cave to peer pressure, we also can’t just be stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. Even if it is our…

comments
The word “epic” is frequently overused to describe things that aren’t necessarily, as Merriam-Webster defines, “a long narrative poem in elevated style recounting the deeds of a legendary or historical hero.” I mean, hell, thanks to the Internet it’s been used to define everything from sandwiches to bucket-wheel mobile strip mining machinery.

Hooniverse Asks – Should Woodgrain on Wagons Make a Comeback?
/
/
comments
To many of you, born too late to engender nostalgia for such things, a Woody isn’t just a Toy Story character or what you get watching Olivia Munn, but a specific kind of car. Starting out, most all cars were built primarily of wood, as that was reasonably light, strong and cheap material. However, aside…

Bad Ideas Made Worse™ with Renault!

comments
Beautiful Mexico! Land of beaches, tiny shivering dogs in teacups, and horrific drug-related violence. It’s also where the VW Type 1 went to die, and where the full-size two door SUV lives an Elvis-in-Vegas afterlife among the agave and smog. You’ll be happy to know that it’s also the home of this particular fiberglass enchilada…

I know what you’re thinking: you’ve got stuff and it needs to move. Whether it be a mosquito fleet of mopeds, a Renault-powered Devin, or a small regional brewery’s worth of MGD cases, it’s gotta go. You need transport, son. Have I got a deal for you!

But let me be clear – you need to watch it. Here’s why: a) It’s a Holden/Isuzu Gemini wagon with a nixie-tube based tachometer. b) See above. Write-up is here. I love the internet sometimes.

Top Gear Returns – Season 16 Takes to the Air!

comments
James May wore questionable shirts and ‘looked like a Spaniel‘ in the V8 Ariel Atom, Clarkson touted a Volkswagen built in the Czech Republic, and which has Sienna Miller in the glovebox, while Hammond lost a race to a flying beetle. Top Gear season 16 kicked off last night, and all is right in the…
