    In honor of Wagon Wednesday here in the Hooniverse, this olelongrooffan thought I would share with my fellow Hoons some of the longroofs I spotted over at Auctions America a couple of weeks ago. There really was a mere handful of them there and they all were from the mid 50’s and mostly of the Ford…

    One morning I was drinking coffee and casually browsing obscure car blogs when suddenly, this! This long longroof was spotted by the readers of a Polish website called Stado Baranow. It is obviously some kind of one-off creation, but damn, it looks good enough to be factory.

    Whenever I travel, I always wind up at the local airport far too early. So when that happens, I pull out my laptop and start checking out what the local Craigslist has to offer. Today I’m in Miami (just drove the new Honda HR-V, which I can’t tell you about yet), so I was very…

You all know my fascination with Corvairs, and the fact…

    When I picked up Cooper this afternoon, I noticed a small puddle of oil and kitty litter in front of my dog sitter’s driveway. Apparently, his 940 Turbo wagon has been hemorrhaging oil. After numerous repairs last year and with a booming business, he is ready for a larger, more reliable replacement. He has a few…

    So this olelongrooffan would suspect those of my fellow Hoons,  who have been hanging around here in the Hooniverse long enough, comprehend that each of we contributors to do just that in what I, altruistically, believe is a truly fun fashion. And we do so unconditionally and this olelongrooffan, in my own way, strives to…

    While I was drooling over the many old Fiats, Lancias, and Alfas at last weekend’s Tutto Italiano car show, it was none of those passionate, oil leaking, firey pieces of awesomeness that caught my heart. Nor was it any of the Ferraris, Lambos, or other, more modern, investment portfolio show-offs. No, it was this VW…

    By this point in time, this olelongrooffan suspects that my fellow Hoons are aware that not a whole lot of stuff happens in this olelongrooffan’s life without there being a story attached. And if, in fact, my fellow Hoons realize this, you will not be surprised to know there is a story attached to the…

    Few weeks back a friend of mine sent me picture of a vehicle just like the one pictured above. He had no idea what it was, and neither did I. I tweeted and Facebook’d asking what the heck it was, but the responses were guesses at best. Thankfully, there is Hooniverse and its awesome weekend…
