    When the topic of “Hooniverse Car of the Year” started to float across our team of editors’ feed on Slack this weekend, one brand immediately came to my mind for nomination: Kia. No joke. This brand, has completely taken the spotlight this past year and shaken up the new car scene. Ever since I’ve been…

    Christmas time means it’s a very special time of year. Yes, it’s the Hooniverse Car of the Year. What I love about HCOTY is that we get to celebrate cars we find during the year that are different and unique. This nomination comes to you all the way from Australia. I spotted this awesome modified…

    I’ve been pretty fortunate to get seat time in some great cars over the years. I don’t drive nearly the amount that our chief blooger does, but I remember most of the ones I do get to experience pretty fondly. Of those dozens of cars, there are only two that I’ve ever fallen head over…

    Christopher Tracy wants his kids to stop staring at their screens. He’d rather they point their eyes towards the beauty of the world all around them. How is he doing this? By taking road trips with the family in his 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser. A Land Cruiser that’s been given the nickname Land Yacht. The…

    Your brain is elsewhere right now, we understand. The work year is almost to a close, you have pending travel to see family on the other side of the country, and the world as we know it is crumbling around us. Still, we here at the Hooniverse want to bring a bit of light into…

    It’s become a common theme in recent years that the Hooniversal Car of the Year voting inevitably gets hijacked by some fanbase or another. Think DRIFT TRUCK! NASCARLO! LeMons! POLAND! MOTORCYCLES!? In any case, we have decided that the editors and contributors would like to have a say in awarding our favorite thing of the year…

    The time has come, my friends, to declare a victor in the 2016 Hooniversal Car of the Year proceedings. And it isn’t even a car. Or running. Or finished. It may not be any of those things, but it certainly is awesome, and as voted by the fans, deserving of the victory, and by extension,…

    You know, if you had asked me to predict this year’s winner, I can honestly say I would not have guessed correctly. I may have had my hopes, but I would certainly not have guessed it. With all the flashiness, the show, the look-at-me attention-grabbing of most of the other nominations, I would not have…

  • HCOTY Nominee: The K-It-Forward/NSF Racing Plymouth Reliant

    Sure, I’ve routinely called this crapcan albatross the Worst LeMons Car of All Time (WLCOAT), but the fact remains that NSF Racing’s Plymouth Reliant is far more than a 24 Hours of LeMons entry and perhaps even more than a car. It’s a shared experience, a paragon of unity, and a demonstration of how the…
