A Faded Patina of Intrigue
/
Few tragedies are as poignant as those of storied lives meeting undignified ends. Such appears to be the case with this poor panzer veteran serving time with younger relatives on an ignoble car lot in Allentown, PA. You may recall this location as the site of our FC-150.

On St. Patrick's Day, Celebrate Excess!
/
In the fine tradition of St. Patrick’s Day, we here at Hooniverse acknowledge that most people will use it as the traditional excuse to pretend to be Irish and drink themselves into a stupor. Being one of the millions whose family history is actually Irish, I find the whole tradition quite amusing. I have heard…

Realignment: How a Hoon Got His Mojo Back
/
Drop into the corner, toe the brakes. Stab the throttle, clutch, slip hand off wheel to grab third, stab throttle again. 3500 RPM, clutch out, intake snarls and exhaust bleats. Apex, tires bite harder and set, more throttle, and the straight. Grab fourth, head whips around at deer on shoulder, no danger. Eyes forward, 5500…

Nothing to see here, just a 1000-hp armored RV.

Because let’s face it, you’ll never be Batman. Don’t let the inspired ad copy fool you: you can sit in the Corvette-chassis’d 1990s Tim Burton Batmobile all you want, making vroom-vroom noises and generally embarrassing yourself in front of your wife and kids (“it’s ok Sally, Daddy’s having one of his ‘moments’”), but you’ll never…

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.

What would a four wheel motorcycle really be?

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. That coincidental happenstance was good for a lark, but it did get me thinking about French cars – all suspension like warm brie and…

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…
