Classic Cars International, Antique Auto Museum of Utah… part 2
/
Having lived in Utah for 11 years it’s a little sad that I have never heard of this place before now. Sadder yet is the fact that I have visited the industrial cleaning supply store half a block down on at least 3 occasions and FAILED TO NOTICE an effin Studebaker perched on the roof…

Last Call- Mother Mary Full of Grace, Help Me Win This Stock Car Race Edition
/
So, two nuns are driving back to the convent, late one night, along a deserted stretch of road. Suddenly, a dark shape passes overhead and a vampire, all bared teeth and flowing cape, lands on the hood of the car. The nun driving swerves out of panic, but that fails to dislodge the blood sucking…

Not So Smart
/
BMW drivers are notorious parking masters and today we saw the putrid efforts of a parking master with the keys to a raging bull. However any person with the keys to a car and a sense of inflated-awesome can pull of a shining example of stupid. Exhibit Asshole is the SMART car pictured above. Two…

Aural Pleasure: Ferrari 412T1 Makes Sweet Love to the Tympanic Membrane, Yes?

With the most anticipated Formula 1 season in ages set to kick off tomorrow with practice for the Bahrain Grand Prix, we can’t help but lament the fact that although there is still a fair bit of variety in terms of chassis, the engines, as in so many other categories, have become homogenized. Oh, sure,…

Triumph in Knoxville with a Very Special Spitfire
/
From the Conflict of Interest Department comes this remarkably well photographed ’69 Triumph Spitfire MkIII. Not only is the photography near professional grade, but the listing is written by someone with very good wordsmithing skills. It’s as if…as if some guy living in Knoxville, who writes about cars for a living, with a fondness for project…

Harbinger of the Robot Apocalypse, Case File #101101: Meet the LittleDog

Just because we have a penchant for, say, ’77 Pontiac Can Ams here at Hooniverse Consumer Products, doesn’t mean we don’t have our eyes firmly set on the bleeding edge of 21st-century technology. And from what we’ve seen of tomorrow’s impending android revolution, it’s coming a lot sooner than you think.

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Story Would You Like to See Hollywood Make?
/
I don’t watch a lot of TV, but one of my favorite shows is HBO’s Entourage. A story arc from last season had pretty-boy Vince starring in a bio-pic about Enzo Ferrari, to be directed by a gun-toting Frank Derabont. As much as I like the show, I like the idea of this movie even…

Forum Wars Follow-Up: Episode One is Live
/
Friend of Hooniverse Rob Krider, in a Shelby Mustang GT, goes up against a typical forum douche some dude in a 350Z. The video is available at The Forum Wars. The clip is long enough to be entertaining but short enough where you can watch it at your desk at work without attracting attention from The…

Hooniverse Asks- Are New Cars Better or Worse Than Old Cars?
/
yesterday we asked about Forbes list of terrible, horrible worst cars ever, and you all found a lot to disagree with creepy Steve’s magazine’s choices. Today we want to know if you think modern cars are better to drive than old cars, or if, like the 1950s, those golden oldies were the best.

Inaccurately Named 1970 Corolla Sprinter Still Runs Great
/
We’re on a bit of a ’70s Japanese iron tin thing today, it seems. Hopefully that’s not a problem. Whenever we see slightly rough, but really cheap vintage imports, this is the end result we have in mind. It’s low, but not too low. The wheels are just right. The interior’s clean, with racing buckets.…

How Fast is Your Watch?

Watches and cars have a long, wonderful history together. Iconic automakers such as Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston-Martin, and Mercedes-Benz have teamed up with the best and beautiful from the horological world. As important as those car companies I mentioned, names such as Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Audemars Piguet. The cars are beautiful and…
