    I spent two years working at a BMW dealership over the last decade, yet not once did one of these ever turn up. Then, all of a sudden, this one seems to have become a permanent resident not three minutes walk from my house. I have to say, being of the genus Lazus Bastardis, I’m…

    Each Fourth of July weekend there is an American LeMans Series race at Lime Rock Park. While somehow none of the Hoon writers who live in the relative vicinity to the track never manage to make it there, a shame really, Hoon readers often do. A long time commenter, tipster, and all around halfway decent…

      For the Independence Day weekend, we made our way over to Lake Wenatchee State Park, on the south end of the lake. The weather was hot and dry – absolutely perfect, after putting up with a cool, wet spring back on the other side of the Cascade mountains. On Saturday, we made a quick…

    So, a whiles back this olelongrooffan shared with my fellow Hoons the fact that I have yet another daily driver for utilization in cruising the highways and byways of the southern half of the Sunshine State trying to coerce some dudes to install some stairs and railings for OldAJ and the firm he owns. Contrary…

    When I arrived at home, I most certainly did not expect to see this, let alone on the Fourth of July. If this isn’t Americana, I don’t know what is. This, my friends, is a 1960 Cadillac Sedan de Ville. It’s not in the greatest shape, but I assume it got here under its own power.…

    While making a stop at my favorite auto parts store, I saw this strange (to me) black car parked nearby. I have this car a few times before, but this time I had the time and the reason to stop and get some pictures, which I want to share with you all. Take a look…

      A 10-year-old non-artist’s dramatic depiction of a rented Fiat Uno’s rear license plate. A moving truck full of stuff showed up at my house two weeks ago. It wasn’t unexpected, as I had hired the movers myself. But the contents of the truck wasn’t strictly all mine (though I suppose now it is) –…

    This is the kind of stuff you want to see parked across the street. A 1975 Camaro RS in arrest-me red. 5.7 litres of the good stuff behind that chrome-bumpered nose cone. Fat tires, chrome wheels. And then you see the child seat in the cabin. Someone’s raisin’ their kids right. You know, it’s either…

    I got a call from my wife on Friday with an interesting question about a convertible VW bus in front of her store. Needless to say, I was intrigued. What she sent me were some pictures of this short, weird, orange bus with roll bars. Interested as I was? Take the jump to see more.
