Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions: Part 5 – Multi-Link Suspension
/
/
comments
Suspension… It has a big job every single second your vehicle moves down the road. Springs, shocks, and many mechanical linkages working together to produce a ride desired by the person behind the wheel. Some people like it soft and luxurious, and they buy a full-size Lexus. Some people like it stiff and hard-core, and…

Buy a Bullitt-Powered Aston-Martin DBS to Impersonate Two Idols At Once!

comments
As dedicated fans of mechanically sound but otherwise rough classics, this ’69 Aston Martin DBS has us going “hmmm”. In place of the original 280ish HP 4.0L I-6, the motor and 5-speed stick from a 2001 Bullitt Edition Mustang’s been swapped in. One might point out that the 01 Bullitt made a mere 265HP, but…

comments
Let’s say you, and 40 of your friends- all rubber noses and big-floppy shoes – need to rock the red carpet so you can collect your award for best pie throwing in a drama, how would you arrive? A town car doesn’t seem appropriate- piling out like a coke dealer and his pale, mini-skirted entourage.…

A design competition for a new cycle bridge over a Lisbon roadway engendered at least one whimsical response, and it’s something that we can definitely get behind. . .er, or over.

The more I explore the Hooniverse the more I realise that you can literally race anything. Barstools? Yep. Recliners? Of course! Lawnmowers? Sure, lawnmower racing has been around for years. Setting landspeed records on a fully functional lawnmower? Now that is something different.

Hooniverse Asks-What's the Most Incongruous Car Name?
/
/
comments
Yesterday, I mentioned how contradictory I found the Rio name on the rental Kia I had. The city for which it was named is known for its vibrant night life, cosmopolitan residents and sparkly beaches, as well as some of the world’s worst poverty. Instead, the Kia rolled a lot in corners, and shook like…

comments
Our most excellent commenter Tanshanomi sent in these photos of what I believe to be an E30 3-series converted to a Ute. While we still don’t understand why it wasn’t sold like this in the first place, we will begrudgingly admit that perhaps this particular model isn’t the absolute best choice for a Ute we’ve…

Last Call- Rental Car Blues Edition

comments
Rio is a city of contrasts; displays of great wealth mingle. With abject poverty; expressions of sexuality and decadence in a country that’s predominantly catholic. The Kia Rio is none of these things, and only exists as expression of what you get when you pick the lowest-priced rental car agency.

As one of the largest malls in the world — and one of the only ones with a Pirate Ship in the middle, and sea lion shows, and penguin shows, and meerkats — West Edmonton Mall can be a fun place to visit. Around this time of year, however, it works very hard at creating…
