comments
One of my new favorite Twitter accounts is Abandoned Places, a site dedicated to derelict, decaying, and disused buildings around the world. Oftentimes, this includes abandoned vehicles, left to slowly decompose and return to the earth, a rusty reminder of better days. Last night, I saw this rusted out London bus and wanted to share it with…

comments
I was up late last night looking at pictures of Volvos (you don’t?), when I ran across something we all love here at the Hooniverse, something that has all the makings of a perfect car: 1) fast 2) Swedish 3) hatchback. What’s not to like? Intrigued? Curiosity piqued? Didn’t know pique was spelled that way? Take…

Fastback Friday: 1984 Dodge Shelby Charger
/

comments
In 1984, Dodge was faced with a problem: import cars, including its own captive imports from Mitsubishi, were making serious inroads to the North American market. Like Ford and GM, their first response was to build smaller cars. Starting in the 70’s. Chrysler responded by downsizing its domestic vehicles, and later, simply stopping production on…

After another too long break from the Hooniverse, I’ve come sprinting back with a van-geance. See what I did there? In honor of Truck Thursday and general trucking goodness, I felt obliged to share this Vehicle I Saw In Traffic with you all.

Craiglist: 1982 Mazda 626 – What can brown do for you?
/
/
comments
I’ve made no bones about my affinity for older Mazdas, especially the venerable 626. It was Mazda’s family car and all-around workhorse for many years, and my 86 coupe survived many college hijinks and interstate (literally) journeys with almost no trouble. It’s because of my fond memories of the 626 and their reliability that I…

Those of you who live and work in this area may know of the DeYoung feed store. They’ve been a staple of the Woodinville community since they opened their doors in 1944. From chicken feed to saddles, they served the community for nearly 70 years. On December 31, 2013, they closed those doors for good.…

Rental Car Review: 2014 Ford Fusion SE

comments
Last fall, I told you about my experience with the 2013 Chevy Cruze LTZ. We had rented it for a trip down the Oregon coast, and we enjoyed our time in the car; the EcoTec 4-cylinder handled my right-food requests well enough, and it rode like a sporty compact should. This past weekend, we made the…

comments
A few weeks ago, I went the annual Northwest Mustang Roundup and All Ford show on the campus of Bellevue College. With its tall fir and hemlock trees providing a verdant backdrop, acres upon acres of Mustangs and Fords of all kinds lay before us like a blue oval buffet. One of them stood out…

I wouldn’t normally be interested in the Cobalt-cum-PT Cruiser that they call the HHR, but this one has so much, shall we say, potential, that I couldn’t pass it up. Why, you ask? Read on and find out! I sat in the front passenger seat of an HHR when they first hit the streets, and my…
