Name That Part- Eng & Chang Edition
/
Marvin Gaye once sang One can stand alone in the dark, Two can make the light shine through- It takes two, baby, It takes two, baby, Me and you, just takes two. And no pair of siblings exemplified that devotion to another better than Chang and Eng, the conjoined twins. Between them (literally it appears) they fathered numerous children…

This past weekend, I met up with Hooniverse commenters Number_Six and CaffeineFuelled in the small town of Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Every year, the Reynolds Automotive Museum in that town puts on an enormous car show known as History Road. Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing some of the amazing automotive exhibits that were on…

Does Being an A-hole Qualify?

See Dick drive. Drive Dick, drive. See Dick park. See Dick park in a handicapped walkway. No Dick, no! See Jane see Dick park. See Jane become morally outraged at Dick’s arrogance. See Jane let the air out of Dick’s tires. What’s that you say? No, I didn’t see Jane do that either. Flat Dick,…

V.I.S.I.T. – What are the Odds? Edition
/
I had to leave work early today to meet my better half; ’twas a scheduled meeting to lend spousal support for a medical consultation, and I knew when to meet her and what it was for… but she neglected to tell me the place. I knew it was with a specialist, but that only narrowed…

H8rs B H8in'

This Texas ricer obviously knows what emotion his yellow and carbon fibre RX8 will generate in others, so he’s advertising his disregard on its vanity plates. You know what? I didn’t feel the need to get his permission. Image source: [Bukowsky18 via Flickr]

Another Dubiously Valuable Twofer: Dinan Turbo e28 5-Series with Free 535is Thrown In

None of you seem to be getting it. When we brought you the bargain bounty that was two Jensens for $8500, all you did was complain about British electrical bits and hard-to-find parts. You need to look past these minor hindrances. Today we present another opportunity for you to own two cars as part of…

Having never been to a rally I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. To be honest, I had pictures of airborne STI’s dancing in my head.

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…

Pssst! Hey, you! Yeah, the one sitting at the computer! You like racing that turns right as well as left? How about the days when society dictated that men belonged in the garage tinkering with British sports cars and women belonged in the kitchen? Or when defending F1 champions in factory-backed sports prototypes shared the…
