Art Monday- Junior Achiever

comments
Milan Kunera’s book and its film adaptation The Unbearable Lightness of Being centers around the lives of four individuals during the Prague Spring and subsequent Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. It’s too bad it wasn’t about race cars, because that would have been a lot more interesting, and this 1957 Stanguellini Formula Junior would have…

Porsches, Cell Phones, and Recapturing the Lost Art of Film

comments
Say what you will about kids these days!, but our children will never experience what it’s like shooting film. They’ll never concentrate on capturing the exact moment, carefully composing a shot, fretting about whether they’ll all come out blurry, because they only have 24 exposures and nothing else. Instead, they’ll be snapping away rapid-fire like…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Garage Art Look Like?

Whether your garage is a temple to the automotive gods, or a leaky shack that you share with the rats and black widows, it’s still the one place that we, the car nuts, can call our own. And because of that, we tend to dress up the space in artistic accoutrements that perhaps those with…

The Acura ZDX

comments
I am going to take some heat for this one…but Jimmy crack corn, I don’t care. The Acura ZDX is a new vehicle to the Japanese automakers stable of well-built yet currently controversially styled cars. The ZDX blurs the line between sports sedan and wagon. That sounds like a recipe for convoluted and overwrought styling…

Earlier today I brought up the topic of diecast cars and it was exciting to see what you guys had tucked away in your office or on display proudly in a full-size case. I mentioned that I had one more car to share with you and here it is. I present the inaugural offering from…

Die casting is a process by which molten metal is forced into a mold until they cool and harden into the desired shape. The process was invented in 1838 for use in the printing industry. However, you are probably more familiar with its role in creating scale versions of your favorite vehicles. From the affordable…

Patchwork Beetle: your grandmother is jealous

comments
Maybe your grandmother had a VW Beetle similar to this one. Chances are, she didn’t wrap it in vintage fabrics from the Middle East, show it off at Milan Design Week and auction it off for charity towards the Haiti earthquake. Bokja Design did, however, and with surprisingly charming results. Though I can’t imagine what…
