    From the time I formally introduced myself to the Hooniversalist faithful, my main ride has been a ’91 Lincoln affectionately dubbed the “Town Cow.” And along the way, I’ve chronicled its long, sad decline into beater-dom. I’ve also on several occasions expressed my unabashed affection for the underrated, star-crossed Suzuki Kizashi. Well, eleven days ago,…

    When we purchased this 1984 Tercel for $1k back in 2011 I made a thread on FinalGear entitled “Restoration. How hard can it be?” Unfortunately Richard Hammond wasn’t nearby to shout “Don’t say that!” Still, even though the restoration isn’t anywhere near finished we have made some progress. Only for it to be killed by…

    Last year you were introduced to my erstwhile daily-driver turned nothing-to-lose street weapon. Project Audinary, a 1998 Audi A4 1.8t that I have owned for seven years. It’s covered seventy thousand miles in my custody, and at 120K elapsed is due its second cam-belt change. My intention was to kill a whole flock of birds…

Bottomless nostrils. Eyes gazing off toward the barren middle distance somewhere between blind exuberance and utter panic.

    Greetings, all. I suppose I should take some time and introduce myself. My name is Shant, and I come bearing news: I’m the new guy here. I love cars of all types, be they microcars built in the Eastern Bloc, or the latest and greatest sports car. If it has wheels and an engine, chances…

    Since The Management haven’t pulled the plug on my posts just yet, I thought I might as well introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me. The name’s Chris and I trade here under the hastily selected sobriquet Rust-MyEnemy, which was coined back in 2006 when I first became active on some forum…

    This olelongrooffan doesn’t often offer a suggestion to check out one blog over the other. There are a ton of great ones out there. But I do have this to say about that. The Roadwork blog, as noted in the sidebar here in the Hooniverse, is definitely a must read. Excellent writing as well as…
