Porsches, Cell Phones, and Recapturing the Lost Art of Film
/
Say what you will about kids these days!, but our children will never experience what it’s like shooting film. They’ll never concentrate on capturing the exact moment, carefully composing a shot, fretting about whether they’ll all come out blurry, because they only have 24 exposures and nothing else. Instead, they’ll be snapping away rapid-fire like…

How Do You Say Blown Intake Manifold Welds in German? Turbo 2002
/
Luckily, there are no welds on this intake manifold. It’s cast aluminum from the factory. That’s right: factory. In case you didn’t know, in ’73 and ’74, BMW sold a turbocharged 2002. Packing 170hp in a fly-weight package sounds like quite the recipe for success. This one claims the double-edged sword of low mileage: only…

A Two-Wheeled Military BMW… From China… With Five Wheels
/
This beautiful example was spotted at the Powerama show in Edmonton this weekend. A wartime BMW is rare enough, but one with the upgraded 750cc, 37hp engine? Well that’s something special!

Last Call- X-Box 360 Be Damned Edition
/
With a steering wheel slightly larger than that of a Lotus Seven, and a build quality rivaling the dashboards of most GM products of the ’80s, the Tomy Turnin’ Turbo Dashboard taught thousands of tweens just how much fun blinking idiot lights could be. Never, in the history of toys, had 4 D-cells been put…

Last Call- Steve McQueen Was Even Cooler Than the Cold War Edition
/
That’s Steve McQueen and his stuntman pal, Bud Ekins during the 1964 International Six Day Trial motorcycle race, held in communist East Germany. Both Ekins and McQueen rode Triumph 650s, but the race ended badly for the actor when a spectator rode into his path causing a crash and wrecking the bike. An excellent account…

Name that engine: the results show
/
In todays Name that engine I gave you nothing but a visual to work with and ended up with a lot of great answers. If you said it belongs to a Lancia Delta S4 then you are a true Hoon of Genius. Congrats to engineerd for correctly guessing it. For your efforts, you win the internetz*…

Showdown: Lesser of Two Evils Edition
/
In our last showdown, the wankeled 510 walked (or hmmmmm-ed) away with the win. Two words: chin spoiler. But enough of that wannabe dorifto/auto-X nonsense. It’s winter, so lets try to find some vehicles that’d be nice in the snow, or will be great to take to the beach once the weather breaks in February…

2010 Mazda Mazda5
/
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. The night I took this picture, I became an uncle and my brother became a father. Meanwhile, my own first progeny is (hopefully) a few weeks away. An unplanned ten pounds of diaper ruination doesn’t have the Missus and me scrambling to shop for family…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Last Call; WEEEEEEEEE!
/
We receive a lot of image submissions here at Hooniverse HQ, but this one caught us off guard. This was submitted by Josh in New York (Thanks, Man). This is what he has to say: I got off work in midtown and was walking to the subway and saw a sweet Ferrari California — I…

Last Call- The Atomic Wedgie of Choppers Edition
/
Spotted on a local street a week or so ago. The front forks are so wildly exaggerated that they give the bike the appearance of something Big Daddy Roth would have Rat Fink riding.

The Power of Dreams…and Smoke Machines: Third Gen Accord Limos
/
Have you ever been traveling in a limo, be it for prom, a wedding, or a totally XX-rated bachelor party trip to the airport and concluded that your stretched automobile riding experience would be much, much more pleasurable if the vehicle was smaller, less flashy, less luxurious, comically underpowered and Japanese? Well, apparently Jules Kaplan…
