Streetwalking: A Fistful of Minis Edition

comments
Every year, my current hometown of Camrose, AB hosts an event that puts an interesting spin on your standard-fare car show. I attended for the first time last summer, and I have a huge backlog of photos that I think I should share out, if only as a bit of sunny-weather-and-shiny-objects eye-candy to help us…

Drunkenly Into Oblivion: The Hooniversal Polar Expedition

comments
Like so many other great ideas, this one was borne of a whole lot of alcohol. We were sitting in the Techie Lounge and watching the Top Gear Polar Special. After a few more drinks, someone scoffed at the goings-on in the saga, letting loose with the fatal words that have doomed many men before:…

1965 Galaxie 500 in Mint Condition — or "Mint Condition"
/
/
comments
We spotted this lovely Galaxie 500 for sale recently, and it’s a perfect case of an unmotivated seller. From the description, to the price, to the simple fact that reality doesn’t quite seem to tie in with the seller’s description, one can safely assume you’re not going to get a great deal on this car.

History Road 2010: Simplificate and Add Lightness — The Prequel
/
/
comments
Years before Colin B. Chapman, CBE, instituted his oft-stated mantra of “simplify and add lightness”, that mentality was in wide use during the 1920s and 30s amongst those few brave souls willing to undertake the sport of auto racing. In fairness, those lads may have taken it significantly further. They may also have had balls…

Something Wicked This Way Comes

[Our beloved Ambersand submitted this some time ago, and due to my own incompetence I somehow missed it, or forgot about it, or lost it. We tried to get it all polished up and ready to run yesterday, but we weren’t quick enough. As such, we’re running it today. Got an article you think we’d…

Recently I met up with commenter and Hooniverse legend Number Six. While exploring all the wonder(s) that Calgary has to offer, we stumbled across this delightful little tidbit. Anyone feeling like taking their own life in their hands?

This little beauty was parked outside my hotel recently, and I caught a few photos with my iPhone. I liked it so much, I went back with my good camera to get more shots.

The Archimedian Screw Tractor – For When A Tank Just Wouldn't Be Enough

Worried about the coming Zombiepocalypse? Sure, we all are, it’s understandable. And it’s equally understandable that you want to make sure that you’re totally prepared. Multiple tins of canned tuna? Check! Plenty of bottled water? Check! Fistful of boomstick? Check! Indestructible go-anywhere survival vehicle? Check! Or… perhaps not.

Chrysler Imperial Project Seduces With Potential Madness
/
/
comments
There are some projects that you want so badly to start on, but common sense keeps getting in the way, despite all attempts by the car-guy aspects of your psyche to do an end-run around said common sense and appeal directly to the emotional parts of your brain. This is one such car.

Here's What Happens When You Mix Irish Whiskey and Crayons

The Hooniverse editorial gang were having a rather strange chat the other night, and decided we should do something green-themed for St. Patrick’s Day. Then we realized that we were probably all going to be drinking far too heavily to attempt anything coordinated. Then, at some point, someone suggested that we all get some paper…
