Question of the Weekend: Say you're the owner of a Trucking Company; What would You run?
/
Simple enough question, or is it. What kind of Trucking Company are you? Moving and Storage? Less than Truckload Shipped? Produce Hauler? Baked Goods? Rubbish Hauler? See, maybe it’s not so easy. I’ll make this easy. State what you want to haul, then decide on the fleet of trucks. This should be interesting.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: 1959 Fiat 682/RN2 Bartoletti Open-Deck Race Transporter
/
Imagine arriving at an historic race with your vintage Ferrari on this instead of in an enclosed trailer. It can happen, as Automotive Traveler’s Rich Truesdell discovered recently, and it can be yours if you have the scratch. Read more after the jump.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Mitsubishi Fuso FK260. Can I possibly write anything interesting about this thing?
/
Yes it’s time again for another DieselFumes posting, and this time I will outline the Mitsubishi-Fuso FK260. It is set up to be a standard delivery vehicle, one that you see time and time again on the highways and city streets all across America. So what makes the Fuso so special. Ahhh, you must make…

Et Tu, Ferrari?
/
If you’ve got even half an ear to the cacophony that is the auto news world, you probably heard a disturbing piece of information from Ferrari earlier this week. No, I’m not talking about the fact that the 458 Italia will be the newest Autobot in Transformers 3 – though that’s unsettling enough in its…

Screw it, We're Moving to Sweden
/
An old pal from a job that’s partially responsible for my screen name tipped me to some top-shelf Swedish vodka insanity. We bring you the Heron Hillclimb, which we can best describe as a mini Pike’s Peak mixed with a typical crop of Cars and Coffee attendees. Seriously, this is madness…

The Chrysler Sno-Runner; A Small, Affordabe, and Fuel Efficient Chrysler!
/
Thanks to Deartháir’s posting about a Tracked Motorcycle, and in honor of Two-Wheel Tuesday, I thought I would dredge up this little piece of history. Ok, so it doesn’t exactly have two wheels, but I think it’s appropriate….. well, maybe not, but enjoy anyway.

Name That Car: Blame engineerd Edition
/
As we all know, engineerd was at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit with UDMan last week. Because he’s a bit of a bastard, he decided to take a few ultra-close photos of tiny little details that should define a vehicle for people who know them. Unfortunately, he’s taking photos of concept cars…

Name that engine: IPT edition
/
Unlike Deartháir and his convoluted and somewhat demented “name that engine/part/countertop” I am not giving anything away. Just don’t stare at it too long. And see your doctor if you have IPT lasting for more than 4 hours.

Hooniverse Asks- What Would You Do With a Crate Motor?
/
Let’s say you’re sitting in the bathtub, enjoying a relaxing soak, when the doorbell rings. You curse whoever is disturbing you and quickly jump out of the tub. Throwing on a robe, you make your way to the front door, only to be greeted by the site of a stake bed truck pulling away, its…

The Perfect Shop Truck
/
We have a bit of a weakness here for forward-control or cab-over pickups. The Corvair, Dodge and Econoline cab-overs are fantastic, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the Volkswagen Transporter pickups, even though they’re not exactly forward control anymore. But they used to be! That counts, right?

About That Mystery Car
/
Well that was even easier than I thought it would be. Syrax guessed correctly, although his trepidation evidenced by following the guess with a question mark indicates he wasn’t entirely behind that choice. UD Man came up with the right car, if not the years, and P161911 got the platform mate, which was the Maserati…

The Stencil Speaks the Truth
/
Mr Jalopy is a character you should know. Currently he spends most of his time as a bicycle monger, but not long ago we was up to his neck in…well…jalopies. So much so that the site for his store, Coco’s Variety was specifically chosen for its automotive capacity. In addition to trafficking high quality used…
