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…

I've Always Felt That The TR6 is a Car Requiring Testicular Fortitude

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…

Three Words: Nova. Wagon. Gasser.
/
Here’s the question, Hoons: what would you do with a ’65 Nova Wagon with a straight-axle conversion and a 327 with dual Holley 450’s? Soccer practice, here we come. Found on Craigslist.

Last Call- The Coolest Picture You'll See All Day Edition

I know it’s not Two-Wheel Tuesday, but this eerie shot of a 1937 Moto Guzzi Condor, taken during this year’s Grossglockner High Alpine Hill Climb, was just too freaking cool to wait. Image source: [TheVintagent.com]

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…

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…

When you wake up from your period of suspended animation in the year 3022, this is what you’ll be driving to work…on the moon.

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…
