Hoon's Day Out: LeMay America's Car Museum – Ferrambo
/
/
comments
They call it Ferrambo. Here at Hooniverse, we often talk about crazy car mashups, unholy mechanical unions, often in the popular Craigslist Crapshoots. Have any of us ever dreamed of stuffing the engine from a 360 Modena into a 1960 Nash Rambler wagon? Well, dream no more, because I have just such an example for you…

Two weekends ago, a few of my good friends and I made a southerly sojourn, about 35 miles south of Seattle, to the Lemay -America’s Car Museum. It’s been around for just a few years, and this was our first trip. One of the largest car museums in the world, it can house up to 350…

This past weekend, while uploading a few hundred pictures from a trip to the LeMay auto museum (stay tuned), I found a few leftovers from my vacation to O’ahu that I forgot to share. Shame on me! Two of the days I spent on O’ahu were in Hale’iwa on the North Shore. It’s a cool…

Truck Thursday – S-10 Pro Truck

comments
If there’s one thing I like, it’s pickups. If there’s two things I like, it’s pickups and racing. Ignore my paltry use of the English language for a moment and focus on this fun S-10, which has been built for road racing. What we have here is a full-on tube frame race car with the…

Wagon Wednesday – Audi A4 Wagon

For some reason, I decided to use the parking garage rather than the surface lot when I pulled into work this morning. I’m glad I did, because I got the chance to get a few pictures of this A4 wagon.

This is another find in the garage. He was double-parked, so obviously it’s a special car, right?

V.I.S.I.T – Mercedes 300D

comments
Today we have a car that I’ve seen quite a few times over the years. This is a 1977-81 Mercedes 300D, which I’m guessing is the 3.0L 5-cylinder diesel (speaking of diesel). It’s a regular at this park & ride where I sometimes catch my bus, and I decided I should finally share the W123…

His development of the diesel engine revolutionized industry by providing a lower cost, efficient alternative to the steam and gasoline engines available at the time. Suffice it to say…

V.I.S.I.T – GTI Edition

comments
Relatives. Walking to the office this morning, I couldn’t help but notice not one, but two GTI’s sitting together. Both of them are black, both of them are lowered, both of them look good. I had a few minutes to spare, so I stopped to get a few shots from my phone.
