  • F1-67 Gives Us Inferiority Complex

    /

    Let’s face it, we love cars of all description. We’re pretty much willing to try anything, and there aren’t a whole lot of vehicles that we wouldn’t be chomping at the bit to grab by the scruff of the neck and take for the ride of our lives.

  • Real Hoons of Genius

    /

    (Real Hoon of genius) We salute you, Mr. Overpass-hanging Beertruck Driver. Because when other truck drivers are clogging the highways with spilled loads of rasberry jam (it’s so sticky) and watermelons (you’d think seedless wouldn’t be so messy), you bring it. If people have to be stuck in traffic (feels like it’s been hours), you…

    Are you flexible enough to try the Lotus position? How about the pole position?

  • Hooniverse Asks- What was Your Most Impressive Accidental Car Hoon?

    /

    You’ve had it happen to you- an amazing recovering from a patch of black ice, the dodge around the moose that’s wandered into the path of your car – and the two things that they all have in common are the adrenaline-powered butt-pucker, and the realization that you don’t know how you could have just…

  • It was Nice Knowing You: YZ400 Powered Buggy-Thing

    /

    We’re always astounded by mismatched levels of fabrication ability. Case in point: the creator of this buggy thing had the means to build this death trap contraption, but elected not to fit it with a windshield, cage or body panels beyond what looks like plexiglass. He (no way this was a girl) apparently has two…

  • Out of Print- What Year Is It?

    /

    The major American auto makers have had a hard time of it the past couple years, and in fact, while Ford has managed to hang on to its independence, both GM and Chrysler have had major changes thrust upon them. This might seem like the industry has reached a sui generis state of affairs, however…

  • Road Rage Roundup: It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

    /

    My first regular series as Murilee Martin, way back in early ’07, was Road Rage Roundup, and it started off pretty well.

  • Last Call- Things On A Stick Edition

    /

    Corn dogs, frozen bananas, shish-kabob, stick a food on a stick and not only is it more convenient, but it seems to taste better. As Texan_idiot25 discovered, that’s even true for Frogs. Thanks to Texan_idiot25 for the snap.

  • Turbo 6-Series Project Brings the Crazy by the Bucketload

    /

    The good news is, for the $4995 asking price, the seller throws in a 2-ton engine hoist. The bad news is pretty much everything else. This project is the automotive equivalent of getting a whole foil-tray worth of leftover pasta from the company lunchroom on your way out the door at 6:30pm. So much food!…

  • Parking Masters: Elderly Stereotype Edition

    /

    We generally try and avoid stereotyping. Just because someone drives a Buick, it doesn’t automatically mean that they’re elderly. I myself still have a ’93 Buick Century gradually decaying in the rainy weather of the North Coast of British Columbia, and I’m not that elderly. Well, not compared to Graverobber, anyhow.

  • Best of France & Italy Car Show Mega Gallery

    /

    The 2009 Best of France & Italy car show was held last Sunday, with picture postcard weather, and a large crowd, proving that there’s a lot of Latin lovers in the City of Angels. And there was something for everyone there- from a car nicknamed after a little mouse, to one that could have carried…

  • Streetwalking: Classic Pickups Hide Under Cover of Darkness

    /

    We found these two beautiful classics on one of our many late-night coffee runs. Tim Horton’s is an addiction that must be satisfied periodically, and the happy side of this is that it has a similar effect on the rest of Canada as well.

  • Hoon Hall of Fame: Horatio Nelson Jackson

    /

    Many of us pilot hoopties that’d have a tough time making a cross-country journey. I’d bet on one of the four cars in my driveway. Rewind to 1903, and the idea’s pure insanity.

  • Hooniverse Asks – How Far Do You Plan To Drive This Thanksgiving?

    /

    For our neighbors to the north, Thanksgiving was last month, so they’ll just have to sit on their hands for this one. But for those of us living in the contiguous 48, as well as Alaska and those lucky bastards surrounded by all that warm water in Hawaii, we’ve got a date with tryptophan coming…
