I’m not a huge fan of the insanely old antique cars, but every so often, something springs onto my radar that makes me stop and take notice. One such example was my nominee for Hooniversal Car of the Year. If I hadn’t found that car, this might have been my runner-up.

Remember the road trip sequence in Dumb & Dumber, that Jim Carey flick chocked so full of cheese and poor taste that it might as well have been a Domino’s pizza? How one minute they’re driving across the country in a van done up like a shaggy dog, the next Lloyd Christmas is dreaming about…
