Look Out Honey, ‘Cause I’m Using Technology! DTM Class 1 Gloriousness
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCS7CBcHxtA[/youtube] In case you haven’t been paying attention, we love touring car racing. So does Sam Smith over at [REDACTED] Jalopnik, particularly the DTM of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. But even though data collected by the scientific community over the years unanimously supports the hypothesis that it is impossible to front on the…

Hooniverse Coat-of-Arms Contest Update
/
I’ve heard from quite a few people who are taking part in this contest, and many of you were pleading for me to give more time to complete your masterpieces. Unfortunately, if we give it any more time, we’ll have forgotten what we were doing.

The Blastolene Piss-Off Pete
/
Our good friend Jim Brennan (aka UDMan) over at CarDomain sent us some more of his great photography from the SEMA show a few weeks back. We feel terrible (and by “we”, I clearly mean “I”) that it’s taken this long to actually manage to get them up and posted. (I could be honest and…

Toilet Paper, Candy, and Other Things for Hoons to be Thankful For
/
Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fellowship, but it’s also a time to reflect. Even our friends north of the border can partake of these sentiments; they’re not betrothed to any one day, even if life’s hectic pace demands a scheduled timeout! in order to fully partake. The sentiment of “thanks” is…

Name That Part: Ridiculously Challenging Edition
/
Actually, I’m just kidding. This isn’t really Name That Part, because that would just be cruel. Instead, we’re showing you some tremendously cool artwork that our Manic King sent in. Australian Artist James Corbett creates these weird and wonderful pieces out of scrap parts he carefully selects, cleans, and welds together.

Last Call- Tryptophan Coma Edition
/
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving down here in this great expanse of kitsch we call the United States, which means that a lot of us will be on the road, visiting people we wouldn’t normally associate with -i.e. our families. We here at Hooniverse have a lot to be thankful for- including all of you fine sirs…

Streetwalking: I See No Way This Could Possibly Hurt Me Edition
/
Normally, as we all know, I tend to do long-winded rambling articles about whatever it is I find. This time, I’ve got nothin’, other than a fair degree of certainty that this bike would kill me if I attempted to ride it. And somehow, that knowledge makes me want to try riding it even more.…

Special Edition Überbird Shirt Now Available!
/
Ok friends of Hooniverse… I was messing around with the t-shirt designer and I came up with this new design for the HooniMerch store. It is a bit on the expensive side because it has multiple logos on it, so I apologize for that – but we will consider this one a Special Edition shirt.…

Name That Part: Bulk Parts Edition

In the last Name That Part, we gave you a generous helping of hints, and the brass ring was so narrowly missed by udman, then finally snagged by VeeArrSix.

Badges? We Don't Need No Stinking. . .Oh Wait, Yeah We Do!
/
Ever wonder what the badge on your car looks like, but were just too damn lazy to get up and walk out to the garage to find out? Or maybe someone once asked you “does the Matra logo look like a stylized rooster?” and you could only shrug and mumble something about cheese-eating surrender monkeys.…

Hooniverse Asks- Dark Meat or White Meat?
/
The top car colors have traditionally been black, white and silver, although they alternate in order year to year. While certain cars just look better in a lighter or darker hue, what’s your personal preference? Do you like your car to be tighty-whitie clean, or satan-soul black? Or, somewhere in the middle?

T-Topped TVR Taimar Tickles Temptation in Toronto
/
Canadians get all the breaks- real maple syrup; chicks on their money; and a mysterious appreciation for the sport of ice hockey. All that burns our non-Canadian bacon down here in the land where football is king and our money is un-fappable. But what really torques our touques is that they also get T-tops on their…

Australian V8 SuperCars: A Primer for North Americans

Alright, class, settle down, take a seat, and pay very close attention. This is going to be very important very soon. I know it may not seem like it right now, but in a month, you’re going to thank me. Why? Because our prayers have been answered. That’s right kids, FOX has finally done something…

Last Call- Coolest Mugshot Ever
/
Steve Mcqueen was the coolest. He was cooler than you, and cooler than me. He was even cooler than Anchorage Alaska in winter, which is where he got popped for drunk driving after doing brodies in a rented ’72 Toronado. When tasked with walking the white line down the center of the street as part…

Ricer Wings Save the Planet

Here’s an idea who’s time has come. Designed by Leon Zhu, from China, it’s a folding solar panel that stores in your car’s fashionably massive rear-wing! When you’re parked, it unfolds to provide both shade and a jolt. When you’re on the move, it stores in the slamin’ big spoiler.
