  • Out of Print- Americans Crap on America Edition

    /

    Self-loathing is a common indication of manic depression, and a warning sign for potential suicide candidates. If these ads from 1985 are any indication, both Chrysler and GM should have tried to kill themselves by now. Fortunately they. . . oh wait, damn.

  • Name That Part: High School Math Edition

    /

    Math. Back in high school they told us we’d use it every day of our lives. Not believing them, I spent most of my math classes drawing cars in my notebook and fantasizing about showing them to the girls in the class so they could swoon over my mad car-drawing skills. Eventually, I found that…

  • Last Call- Russians Were Plane Crazy

    /

    While Hooniverse likes to focus on those things that have four wheels and fit in an average garage, sometimes we like to point upward and shout there, up in the sky- it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s too much vodka and national pride! Check out English Russia for more on these Potemkins of the…

  • Submission Thursday: Cyrobuka

    /

    I think we’ve all sketched or doodled our schemes  at some point. I had a History prof in University whose voice was so boring, he made Ben Stein sound like Rod Roddy from the Price Is Right. Much drawing and scheming was done. Tanshanomi, however, has taken things one step further. But don’t take our…

  • For Sale: The Czech is in the Mail

    /

    Today, Skoda is a wholly-owned subsidiary of VAG, but back in 1969 it was still under the auspices of the Soviet-Bloc planned economy, which had forced nationalized ownership on the company, and had cut it off from the west, stifling technological progress and access to modern parts.

    …It’s time to make LeMonade! All too often we come across some crazy beater on Craigslist that’s just begging to go out in a blaze of glory.

    In urban Italy, every traffic light is an opportunity for a drag race to the next, and the Latin machismo order of the hairy chest is ordained to whoever wins the block-long run.
