Hooniverse Asks- Who's the Best Woman Racer Ever?
/

comments
Yesterday we lauded Shirley Muldowney for being a fast woman with class. But she’s not the only racer rocking the XY chromosome, and the ladies don’t exclusively drive in a straight line, a quarter mile at a time.

The Worst Honda EVER

comments
Forgive what may be the worst cameraphone pics ever, so you may witness the horror that is the worst Honda EVER. Hooniverse is no stranger to hyperbole, but this might not be an exaggeration.

The Magic Highway of TOMORROW!

comments
I love classic Disney Informational videos. The (now)retro-futurism of them. The male voice who is sure our nuclear future is going to be bright and brilliant. The painted scenes that could easily pass for modern art. All of it comes together wonderfully, and takes me back to a time when I was being raised by…

Review: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Coupe
/
/
comments
I have driven modern muscle cars and I have driven modern luxury cars, but now I have driven a luxury muscle car. The all-new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Coupe blends a top-tier upscale interior and an aggressive-styled exterior with a bi-polar 5.5L 32-valve aluminum V8 engine. It was a fitting chariot for my two-year marriage anniversary,…

You know what’s wrong with all of your vehicle choices for post-apocalyptic future? They all need specific fuel. Sure, there will be military reserve depots to raid or maybe you could set up a biodiesel or ethanol setup, but these all leave you tied to a specific location. It’s only a matter of time before…

[singlepic id=734 w=640 h=480 float=center] Every Saturday down in Irvine, CA there’s a little gathering called Cars and Coffee. It’s an informal car show where you’ll see everything from LeMons cars to priceless vintage race cars — and everything in between. We fired up the Country Sedan and made the trip beyond the Orange Curtain…

Dodge Little Red Wagon: It's Not a Wagon, But It Packs a 426 Hemi

“If you think cars on rails are the hottest thing in drag racing, take a look at this!” In case any of you Hoons out there thought all the Dodge A100 van was good for was rusting or crushing your lower extremities in a low-speed collision, think again! All you need to do to spice…

Pop quiz: If you had mountains upon mountains of f***-you money, what would you spend most of it on? Granted, if you say you’ll spend equal to or less than 50% of it on more typical items like booze, drugs, gambling and/or loose women or men, I won’t judge. However, if you don’t plan to…

Hooniverse Asks-What Was The Greatest Group B Car of All Time?
/
/
comments
Introduced by the FIA in 1982, Group B was a set of regulations covering sports car racing and rally racing. In replacement of both Group 4 and Group 5, the new racing class bred some of the most face-meltingly insane cars ever to slide sideways through a narrow dirt path defined by crowds of people,…

Like Transformers? Really REALLY Like Transformers?
/
/
comments
It has been noted that some writers at other car blogs out there have a minor obsession with Transformers. We had chalked this up to a minor mental illness that was probably treatable with medication (or a hammer). But it turns out they’re not alone in this affliction. On the contrary, it seems as though…

V.I.S.I.T.: The Reptilian Honda
/
/
comments
I’m stealing borrowing the “V.I.S.I.T.” acronym from our wonderful Jo Schmo, since nothing else quite seems appropriate. It stands for “Vehicles I Saw In Traffic”, and was simply the best I could come up with for this one. Although with this car, I’m not entirely sure that anything would be completely appropriate.

You know what’s fun about blogs? No pesky standards to adhere to. Case in point, join us in an exercise in shameless conflict of interesting. We’d like to draw your attention to this bargain of a 2002 Audi A6. It’s sporting a 2.7L bi-turbo engine, six speed manual transmission and of course, Audi quattro all…
