If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty fun, especially when the wheelie bars FAIL. Sadly, they don’t show the big blower running, but the images look like something out of an…

Some things just go well together: beer and bratwurst, beer and football, beer and beaches. What about nostalgic drag racing, in monotone slow motion, set to Italian opera? Curious? Make the jump, crank up the speakers, and prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

New Feature: Encyclopedia Hoonatica
/
Starting tomorrow, we begin a new (expected-to-be-) daily afternoon feature: Encyclopedia Hoonatica. Actually, it really doesn’t have much to do with any sort of reference volume. It is, instead, a series of posts similar to the commenter-participation Hooniverse Asks posts we bring each morning, only a bit more specific. Every afternoon, one of your humble…

Bank-Owned Bugatti Slums on Craigslist
/
Remember in the film Trading Places where Dan Akroyd’s character went from supercilious prig to dumpster-diving homeless all in the name of a one-dollar bet? Well, somewhere out there, a clapped-out Kia Rio is being driven by Gordon Gecko as this Veyron has shown up on, of all places, Craigslist. That’s right, now you can…

Trial By Smoke, Part 2: Racing LeMons In a 1963 Corvair
/
Part 2 of my LeMons New England excursion. This time, I actually get to drive the damn thing. Read Part 1 here! Barely minutes after the Corvair heads to the track, it was seen turning back into the pits. “He’s pulling in, he’s coming in,” our team shouted, dashing down the grandstand to find out…

Hooniverse Asks- Who was a Better Driver, Your Mom or Your Dad?
/
When you were growing up you couldn’t drive, and that meant you were at the mercy of other drivers to get from point A to point Mall. And others typically meant your mom and your dad, as your older siblings would rather eat from the cat box than be seen chauffeuring your spastic ass around. So,…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Race Car?

Okay, we’ve done motors, drivers and tracks. But one thing has been missing- that single element that brings all those parts together to create an exciting motorsport event, and not just a bunch of guys (and the occasional girl) trying to drag an engine around. Race cars get our blood going. They are the ultimate…

While Vancouver has had to import snow so that the amateur athletes have something to land on when suffering the agony of defeat, the eastern seaboard of the United States has been inundated with the white stuff. All that makes for some hairy driving conditions, whether you like to drive like you’re on the luge,…
