Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Monterey California Weekend Review
/
Yes it was quite a weekend on the Monterey Peninsula last weekend, with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, The Mecum at Monterey Classic Car Auction, The Monterey Historic Races (since renamed), the Concorso Italiano, and of course the Concours d’LeMons. Unfortunately, I wasn’t anywhere near California to cover the events, but there were other sites…

About That Mystery Car
/
Unbelievable, that took all of, what, 10 minutes? Despite my attempt at an inscrutable angle, on a less than widely covered part of a yet to be released road car, Sivart_R1 got all Rain Man on me and correctly divined that today’s Mystery Car was nothing less than the amazing new McLaren MP4-12C. Excellent work,…

Remember those days in 4th grade when you would run around the halls pretending to drive a Corvette, making vroom-vroom noises with your mouth, clipping hallway apexes, and scaring the middle-school girls? No? Well, maybe it was just me.

Encyclopedia Hoonatica: Cars with NACA Ducts
/
Believe it or not, developing a scoop that’s effective at scooping air in without creating ridiculous amounts of drag is phenomenally difficult. It’s actually quite easy to design a scoop looking thing that barely scoops at all. You could say it sucks…but the problem is it doesn’t. Luckily, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (the…

Mystery Car
/
The Friday mystery car is becoming kind of a tradition here at Hooniverse, and I haven’t yet found one that could stump the big brains on all of you. Today’s contest might be easy, or it might be hard, it all depends on how iconic this mystery machine is, and whether its every curve, scoop…

Having a rough Friday? Wearily watching the clock, counting down the minutes until you’re set free to enjoy your weekend? Well if it makes you feel any better, I’m sitting on the couch drinking coffee and Bailey’s today. What’s that you say? It didn’t help? Strange.

2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon
/
Chances are, if you grew up in the lower 48, the concept of an attractive wagon is as foreign as makizushi. While the rest of the world subsists on a steady diet of cars like the BMW M5 Touring, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate and the Audi RS6 Avant, we’ve been force fed duds like the…

/
This is an obviously hypothetical question because, well. . . I mean, look at us. But let’s say you had the choice of a night of bumpin’ uglies with the one person in the public eye that really gets your motor started, or spending a day driving the car that stalks your dreams, and taunts…

Hooniverse Posting Guidelines
/
Content: In general, we try to lean to the positive side of things. DUIs, people dying, etc, not so much. When it comes to vehicular abominations (that purple thing from the other day), they’re fair game, but you can’t just do a big cranky rant. Get creative…the general goal is to be a nexus of…

Last Call- The Full Cleveland Edition
/
Nothing special, just a ’69 Mustang with four 351 Cleveland motors. This “Mach IV” exhibition racer is owned by Jill and Gary Weckesser of Delavan Wisconsin, and a lot of the machine work was done by Gary himself. The stats are as outrageous as the visuals- four engines, four-wheel drive, 7-second quarters at an average…

/
How you do spice up an expensive luxury sedan without losing the inherent upscale nature of the vehicle? Is it as simple as adding some upgraded wheels, a sway bar set, and a more freely flowing exhaust? In the case of the 2009 Lexus GS 350 the answer is a surprising you betcha’.
