Last Call – O HAI GUYZ Edition

WHAT’S GOIN ON IN HERE? (Alternatively, if I weren’t so shameless then I wouldn’t use this space to plug my current blog, steering wheel faces, with more charming examples of automotive pareidolia! Alas, I am a shameless man.)

Your Groovy Bell Bottoms are Now SFI Approved

That’s right, forget that no-synthetics allowed nonsense, we’re going all polyester. At least, that’s the best explanation super-hoon ZombeeRacer could come up with as to why this video is so carnage free (at least, regarding the vehicles’ occupants). Shot on a famously tricky corner, the film from 1970 features 7 minutes of a number of…

Hooniverse Asks – Who's Your Most Hated Minor Celebrity Car Dealer?
/
Hate is a strong word, said Mrs. Heartline, my kindergarten teacher. But if she was still alive today, God rest her soul, and she watched one of Billy Fuccillo’s commercials, even she would fly into a bitter, mouth-frothing rage.

Hooniverse Asks- Would Anybody Buy a Mini-Truck These Days?
/
It used to be you could buy a little pickup truck from most of the Japanese manufacturers, as well as imported ones from the big three. These trucks were simple, honest work vehicles, and provided thousands of gardeners, independent pool cleaning service entrepreneurs, and mailbox baseball-playing teens with economical, no-frills transportation. But these days, they’re…

There’s something about this that’s so black, it’s like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

/
Pssst! Hey, you! Yeah, the one sitting at the computer! You like racing that turns right as well as left?

The Iconic Roadster

Last week was the first installment of Modern Art Monday, and we took a look at the taillight of the Jaguar XJ. Today we are looking at an entire vehicle. The Iconic Roadster is a low-volume, high-horsepower monster that takes the style of the classic AC Cobra and turns it into a modern work of…

Hooniverse Invades Comic-Con
/
Everyone knows that besides being a car nut, I’m also a huge geek. Knowing my love for Sci-Fi, comics and the like, every year in July I head down to San Diego for Comic-Con International. This is the largest single convention of all things geek, nerd and pop culture. What most people don’t expect is…

At First Sight: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
/
I’ve spent the fair majority of my motoring life loathing the Corvette. Maybe that’s unfair to the car. After all, GM’s darling has nearly always represented a down-right insane performance bargain, but to me, that was always overshadowed by the cars’ owners. I don’t need to pontificate on any stereotypes here, but I just couldn’t…

Click…thunk. Hummmmmmmmmmm. Tweet-tweet-tweet-tw-baROOOM. Opening the door on the 2010 Audi S5 convertible feels the same as doing so on the coupe. However now I can lower the top, feel the sun on my face, and hear the birds chattering away until I fill the morning air with exhaust. Most importantly however I can finally hear the…
