Revlimiter.net's Amazing Custom DIY Gauge Faces
/
A friend of Hooniverse passed this along to us, and it was too good not to share with the masses. The tutorial is for a Miata but with some modification it will probably work for any gauge cluster you can throw at it. But it’s not for the faint of heart … are you up…

This beautiful example was spotted at the Powerama show in Edmonton this weekend. A wartime BMW is rare enough, but one with the upgraded 750cc, 37hp engine? Well that’s something special!

Jeep's Advertising Turns A Corner
/
Once upon a time, I wrote short reviews of automotive TV commercials and videos for another automotive website. I had a very simple rating scale: Hate/Not Terrible/Good/Shell-Ferrari. People seemed to appreciate the scale as well as my POV as the co-owner of a small advertising agency in the middle of New Jersey. So it seemed…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Mobster Ride?
/
In Goodfellas, the mobsters all dove flashy cars to go along with their garish rings, french cuffs and horse-choking wads of ill-gotten cash. Of course, for those mobsters, flashy meant Coupe devilles, Mark IVs and New Yorkers. In more modern times, mobsters have transitioned, both geographically – coming now from Russia and other Eastern European…

Open The Multiparker-Bay Door Hal
/
St Stephen’s Basilica stands in the heart of Budapest, and facing the grand Szent István tér (St. Stephen Square). The square, over the years, had served as the parking lot for the Basilica, which became both an eyesore and a traffic hazard for the tourists visiting the famous church. The answer was to build a…

Roadside Discoveries: The Golden Age of Trucking Museum; A Great Place to Discover Classic Trucks.
/
Just a short 30 minute drive from the suburbs of Hartford, I discovered a rather interesting and delightful place. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum isn’t anything that you might expect; it’s not located in a field in the middle of nowhere nor is it is located in a dilapidated barn. It’s not dirty, grungy,…

Q: Why did Helen Keller’s dog kill itself? A: You would too, if your name was “mmmmrrrrggghhh!” Now that you’ve laughed at this incredibly offensive joke, you’ll be headed straight to hell. And what better way to travel to an eternity of fire and brimstone than in this?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DulNn2tlTFs[/youtube] Once again, The Incomparable Mr. Scroggs has sent along a find from the Tube of You. Simply put, it is a trip around the Circuit de La Sarthe with Mike Hawthorn in a Jaguar D-type prior to the race. I’m not going to spoil it by commenting any further; but it is worth watching,…

Yesterday being May the 4th Be With You day, it seemed fitting to bring up the recent G4 charity car wash benefitting the Make A Wish Foundation, which was done in full Star Wars costumes. So many bikini Leias!

Showdown: Vannin'
/
If there’s one trend that Hoons the world over mourn, it’s the penchant for extraordinarily hairy men to gut a shorty van and fill it full of shag carpet, teardrop windows, and sci-fi murals. Unlike that terrible swing dancing trend that nauseated the country for several years in the ‘90s, we think that shag vans…

Some states want to ban Truck Nuts®. I say, you’ll take my truck nuts when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Wait, what? Image source: [Imgur.com]
