Public Transportation Strikes Back!
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k41RLegIPs&feature=player_embedded#[/youtube] Here in the U.S. it’s been the people who carry and sort our mail that have been branded as most likely to run amok, the results of which end up badly for all in close proximity.

German Warning Icon May Well Be Our New Logo
/
Simply put: how awesome is this warning icon? “No normal people. Mechanics only” is likely a single 97 letter word in German, so it was much simpler for Lemförder (the source of our latest Überbird guibos) to stick with this. I might just get this logo as a tattoo.

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite French Car?
/
If you caught this week’s Top Gear, you would might have seen the News segment where Jezza brings up the fact that Citroën’s new UK Sales Director is named Charles Peugeot.

Found on Craigslist- The $20K Lotus Elise?
/
So, do you think that he’s really willing to take $20,000 for it, or that he was trying to say it has 20,000 miles on it? I can say that, a 20K Elise for $20K sounds like a screaming good deal as long as it’s not full of ebola-laced amphibian poo. San Diego Craigslist.

Vans and the Places They Were By Joe Stevens
/
Apparently we’re on a bit of a van kick. Let’s keep it a-rockin’. Having spent a decent portion of the 90s in a gray-on-gray (-on-gray) Ford Club Wagon, this particular Hoon laments the near extinction of the full-size van as a common family hauler. It’s like one day we woke up and wondered…where’d all the…

Last Call- Cars Are Too Complicated Edition

It used to be you could fix most everything on a car with just a screwdriver and a set of open-end wrenches. And apparently, VWs needed even less than that.

Trucks that Rock: The DAF-Based Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio
/
The year was 1968. The Rolling Stones were making hits, taking psychotropics by the British stone, and generally saturating themselves with the full-on excesses that subsequent rock bands have come to know and love.

1979 Mercury XM Concept Car: Rumble Seat FTW!
/
Ran across this on the web, and had not seen it before. It looks vaguely like a EXP/LN7 derivative, but with a bit cleaner styling. Probably would have made an unimpressive production car, but as an unabashed fan of open-air motoring, I gotta give this one a hell yeah!
