Hoonicast #9: Butterface Edition
/
/
comments
Separated at birth … amiright? Gawd, sometimes I crack myself up. Anyways, in this edition of the Hoonicast, we discuss some of the fugliest sportscars ever to burst into that category and challenge grenade-jumpers to jump. From the bottom-feeding SP250 to Jim’s jihad against the Ferrari F50, we have all sorts of uneducated and baseless…

The Hoonicast is Coming! The Hoonicast is Coming!

You don’t need to have passed American History to know all about how Paul Revere and the Raiders saved us from a French invasion in 1492. In the same vein, you don’t need to get all bent outta shape like a Honda B-series piston after 4 laps at the Thunderhill Arse-Freezeapalooza because the Hoonicast is…

Chef Boy-Am-I-Hungry- Is Roadkill Good Eats?
/
/
comments
Over on SlashFood they ask the question that most of us have pondered from time to time while plying our nation’s highways: is roadkill safe to eat? As of 2006, our national highway system comprised 46,876 miles of asphalt, and you can bet that at least a few of those have had some wildlife…

Farbs Ate My Brain

I used to be normal. About cars, about life. Really, I was. As a kid, I was admittedly much more fascinated with mechanical things that went fast than with people, who were irritatingly inscrutable and forced me to spend way too much of my time listening to them drone on about organically-based drivel (such as…

Hooniverse Motorhome Monday – No Reservations Needed via Automotive Traveler
/
/
comments
No this is not a Motorboat Monday feature, but a Motorhome Monday feature. A very good friend of mine did a piece over at Automotive Traveler, and since Rob ran a Hooniverse Asks posting asking “What is your dream Motorhome?“, I thought this would be a great companion piece.

Hey It's Two Wheel Tuesday

comments
As some of my fellow Hoons of the two wheel variety have decided to join the Slacker’s Facebook Club must be really busy today, I thought I would post a few images of some bikes I saw out at the Speedway during Bike Week 2011. And since this olelongrooffan can’t tell the difference between a…

Just Cuz I'm A Happy Camper

This olelongrooffan is sitting here enjoying the Atlantic Ocean breeze flowing through my Taj Mahal and feeling a bit antsy. So, I thought I would share with my fellow Hoons some of the vintage tin cars and plastic Tonka Corvettes I scored at a swap meet down in Sarasota last weekend. The Chevy Coke truck…

Hoonicast #8: the Fugly Lazarus Edition
/
/
comments
Jim is going to track me down and use a flintlock to blow my brains out when he finds out about this … but the objective truth known to all human beings, as certainly as the sky is up or Lucas electronics will let you down, is that the Isuzu Axiom was ugly as sin.…

Chuck Taylors with Your Bertone? The Bad Idea Mill Grinds On
/
/
comments
I have a serious and vaguely irrational affection towards most of the misfit Gothenburg sleds, even the ones whose complexity and unreliability threaten to knock some of the Italian horrorshows off their Mount Olympian throne of awfulness. The Volvo 780 (by Bertone!) actually straddled this divide, rolling out of Bertone’s Turin assembly plant with some…
