    Ten years ago, Laurie Gidosh was selected as a winner on the reality TV show Popstars 2, becoming a member of the show’s synthetic pop group Scene 23. In one memorable episode, the nice-looking but unglamorous Gidosh gushed over sultry, maquillaged video footage of herself that transformed a girl who said “I never thought I…

  • Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – Two Sport Wagons that sold in Microscopic Numbers

    Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. I thought I would shake up things a bit, and highlight a couple of Wagons that were recently discontinued within the US only a few years ago. They sold in such small numbers that their combined total sales couldn’t match the sales output of the almost $200,000…

    At the risk of usurping the awkwardness awesomeness the W_a_g_on SS featured in tanshanomi’s post earlier today possesses, I thought I would share with my fellow Hoons a couple SS wannabe longroofs I spotted last summer.

    Last October, away before the leaves died and the snow came, I stumbled upon this car parked in the sprawling senior community that I drive through on my daily commute. It had four doors, like a sedan, but with the roof extended all the way back to the rear of the vehicle. I was wondering…

    Last week we featured a Crown Victoria with a bit of an, ahem, “rear end adjustment.” (Not a euphemism, yet.) But if 3400lbs of cobbled-together Blue Oval is too much third-row jumpseat action! for your tastes, may we offer up this example fresh from the Olde Worlde?

    Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. I was trying to come up with a unique posting for this week to no avail. There is just so many pristine classic wagons I could show you, or a couple of wacky Craigslist wrecks, or a few eBay postings, but I wasn’t finding anything really interesting.…

    When the esteemed Mr. Brennan initiated Wagon Wednesday here in the Hooniverse, I doubt he considered the far reaching implications of the popularity that Wagon Wednesday would become.

    Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. The 2-Door Wagon seems to be popular with the Hoons here at Hooniverse, so I thought I would do a Wagon Wednesday Showdown between three different 2-Door wagons of 1949-1953 vintage. So which one will prove to be the one that tugs on your want-o-meter? The 1949…

    I started this Marathon Edition of Wagon Wednesday with a 1974 Ford Country Squire Wagon, then showcased an interesting 1969 Chevy Chevelle 2-Door Wagon, made you throw-up a little with a 1993 Chevrolet “Majestic Nomad” Wagon, took a European Vacation with a wonderful Volkswagen 412 Wagon, introduced you to the next 24-Hours-of-LeMons IOE winner in…

    We just received this tip at Hooniverse Central from voodoojoo (Thanks, man), and it is just the type of car fervent enthusiasts of the 24 Hours of LeMons participants search for. It’s European, it has a two-cylinder two four stroke engine, it’s relatively complete, it has a rusty patina, it’s a wagon, and the asking…
