Tanshanomi sent these photos in of a yard-slug he found quite some time ago. I’ll admit, I’m not entirely sure what it is.

Ironically, “UberGallery” is taken… And anyway, rather than try to collect a pile of pictures and slaughter the our server hamsters, we’re going to point you to everyone elses work for your own perusal. At this point, you should probably consider your Friday afternoon and much of Saturday shot. C’mon and Jump!

[Editor’s Note: Our beloved Jo Schmo sent this piece in, in the hopes of earning himself gainful employment with us. Little did he know, we here at Hooniverse all work primarily because we get beaten if we don’t. Trust us, you don’t wanna see Braff when he’s got his leather mask and chaps on.] What…

Pah-Pah-Pahwer Makes It Go!

Apparently there is a company out there called Underground Racing. Further apparent is that they are the automotive division of an insane asylum… Watch the video above for proof. They have added a pair of turbochargers to the wonderful V10 Lamborghini Gallardo. The Gallardo, in its most powerful Super Trofeo version, produces 560 hp. The…

With the Holiday season upon us like a lead blanket, we feel it’s our duty to provide suggestions for the Hoon’s Wish list. Who doesn’t want to drive a piece of military hardware? For a few grand you could run out and buy a 6×6 (seriously, they’re crazy cheap), but the homeowners association might take…

Think you’re a pretty good driver? Well, maybe you are. Maybe you’re a very good driver. But are you V8 Supercars good?

LA Auto Show Mega Gallery Three- Chevrolet

comments
Like Ford, Chevrolet also had a small car to introduce. Also, like the Fiesta, the Chevy Cruze (yes, all the good names are taken) will have been cruzing around Europe and Asia for a couple of years prior to clogging up the freeways and mall parking lots of this fair land.

Hooniverse Asks- What Makes a Supercar?
/
/
comments
Yesterday, while drinking free beer and farting in cars we can’t afford working hard on learning what was new and what was newsworthy at the LA Auto Show, Braff and I had a discussion regarding the 5.2-litre 10 elevating the Audi R8 from sports car to supercar. And that brought up the question of what…

Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions – Part 4: The Heel-Toe Downshift

comments
In this series so far, we have explored the inner workings of the automotron. Today however I feel like discussing one of the many savvy techniques people use when they are operating an automo-go of the sporting variety … and doing so at 12/11ths (yes, our scale goes to 11 here at Hooniverse.. HELLO CLEVELAND!).…

Last Call- Thanks Jaguar Edition

comments
After a long day hoofing around the LA Convention Center, listening to auto maker reps talk up the 36 airbags their “class-leader” has, and how each is uniquely poised to lead us out of the financial abyss, it’s nice to find that the Jaguar booth remains a bastion of civility and hospitality, just as are…

A Perfect Project Without A Direction

Our good Friend Of Hooniverse Jeremy, aka damnElantra, posted this on his FaceBork page a few minutes ago, and I immediately fell in love with it. Much like an earlier Mercedes van someone posted that I finally — finally — got talked out of by cooler heads prevailing, I immediately developed a soft spot for…

What's That? You Wanted To See The Diamond T's Passenger?
/

comments
As engineerd pointed out in the previous post about the Diamond T, there is, sadly, a certain point where a lot of these custom cars start to look the same. If you get too many cars with the same patina finish, the same skull shifters, the same teardrop taillights, they start to get a bit…

LA Auto Show Mega-Gallery Two- Audi R8 5.2

comments
As Braff noted to me yesterday, the 4.2-litre Audi R8 is a supremely competent and engaging sports car, but the 5.2-litre V10 elevates it to supercar status.

One of my own personal criteria that I’ve developed over the years to mentally rank the relative “wow” factor of vehicles is to gauge its first impression punch. What will the impact on the average person be when they see it for the first time?

Car Show Conundrum- Suzuki Always Picks Door Number Two
/

comments
Here’s a shot of the new Suzuki Kizashi’s dashboard. One of the upscale features of the Camry-esque car with the S on its chest is the display between the speedo and tach, which tells you information about the car- including whether or not one of the four doors is ajar. Unfortunately, as you can see,…

Hooniverse Asks- Does the Mustang's Live Axle Make it Suck?
/
/
comments
One way that Ford has kept the costs down on the Mustang, and kept the traditional pony car feel alive, is buy using a coil-sprung, live axle. Now, Ford has a lot of experience with live axles, and the 2011 ‘Stang is probably the best handling stallion ever to emerge from the Blue Oval. But…
