V.I.S.I.T.: Pacer!
/
I captured this unassuming little Pacer in a Tim Horton’s drive-through lineup yesterday, and the owner was awesome enough to stay still long enough for me to get photos of both sides, allowing you to evaluate the cosmetic merits, or lack thereof, of the unequal-sized doors.

Mullin Automotive Museum
/
As Jeff hinted, we ended up on the guest media invites list for the grand opening of the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California. To put it directly, if there’s a finer collection of pre-war French cars out there, you’ll need a passport and a transatlantic flight to see it. As a Southern California resident,…

MG Midget With Engine Elephantiasis = Awesome Alliteration
/
What to do with a cheapo MG Midget with a trashed A-series motor? Budget autocrossing is too tame. Vintage racing is too obvious. How about slipping a 1380cc lump huffing nitrous between the rails and taking it drag racing? That’s a plan we Hoons can get behind.

Ford Snowmobile Predates Snowmobile Patent
/
Nowadays, we have access to just about any form of technology our little heart desires. Okay, maybe not a transporter beam from Star Trek, or the Death Star I so greatly desire to aid in my commute to work, but almost anything else we could want. Some of the creations we’ve posted that are for…

Best. Parade Float. EVAR.
/
Proving, once again, that despite all odds, Saskatchewanians can do things right from time to time, this fantastic parade float was captured some time ago by a friend of CaffeineFuelled. Frankly, we think it’s perfect, and believe that there should be a whole lot more parade floats just like it. What say you, Hoons? Given…

Jensen Interceptor Twofer – $8500
/
Here at Hooniverse, we’re big fans of European tourers with stonking American powerplants. The Jensen Interceptor is one such peanut butter and chocolate mashup. Not unlike the Pantera, Interceptors have stayed surprisingly cheap. Maybe it’s the 70s British build quality or the auto-only option. Whatever the reason, we’re stoked to come across not one, but…

The Birthplace of In-N-Out Votes for No More In and Out
/
If you’ve never enjoyed the fare at In-N-Out, well, all I can say is, add that to your bucket list my friend. However, if you wish to partake of that burger flipper’s tasty delights, or that any other fast food emporium, while availing yourself of the drive-thru window, you’ll soon be out of luck in…

Fiat 500 Limo Puts The Engine in The Back – Way Back
/
An unsuspecting motorist on Germany’s Autobahn saw a familiar sight in his rear-view mirror- that of the cheeky visage of a Fiat 500. As the little Italian slid by on the right, however, it proved to be anything but the tiny coupe of which he, or we, are familiar. Sporting an extra six or so…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Third-Party Trim Name?
/
Lincoln had Cartier, Bill Blass and Givenchy and Pucci editions. The Ford Explorer, along with its SUV and pick up brothers and sisters, rocked Eddie Bauer. Chevy, before bankruptcy put an end to such frivolity, stuck an LCD in their Venture minivan and called it the Warner Brothers edition. So many auto makers have partnered…

These Signs Are Worse Than That M Night Shyamalan Movie
/
Typically our commutes are bad enough, although billboards, when clever, can sometimes provide a pleasant respite from the banality of traffic jams and sound walls. This, however, isn’t one of those opportunities.

Yesterday, I introduced you all to John Fitch, who is a living legend, and a true Chevy Enthusiast. Next up is an actual production vehicle I bet you didn’t know existed, the all electric Chevy S-10EV.

Hooniverse Parting Shot: The Chrysler PT Cruiser – Its Almost Dead!
/
Introduced at the start of the decade, the PT Cruiser was originally conceived as a Plymouth model based on the well-received Pronto Cruiser concept version, but then elevated to a Chrysler when it became apparent that the Plymouth brand was going to be euthanized. As one of the vehicles that ushered in the retro-based styling…
