WTF GTR?
/
We’re a pretty inclusive bunch, not really ones to pass judgement on others’ style. That said, we’re gonna go ahead and say it’s not ok to cover the dash and package shelf of your GTR with cutesy stuffed animals. Also, the only god that comes to mind in this case is Koalemos. The worst part…

Engage Cloaking Devices – BMW & MINI Edition
/
The roads around Southern California are filled with interesting cars. You name a marquee and it’s pretty likely that I have seen an example driving down PCH. Every now and then I spy something out of the ordinary. This morning I caught a BMW and what I am assuming to be a MINI Countryman cruising…

Rename LeMons New England: Vote Now, and Achieve Significance!

Winston Churchill once said, “The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.” He clearly never read Hooniverse.

If You Think Detroit's Potholes Are Bad. . .
/
Check out this sinkhole in a photo released by the Guatemalan government. Caused by the first major tropical storm of the season – Agatha – the hole has eaten an entire four-way intersection in the capital of Guatemala City. In places like Detroit the potholes are mostly caused by the hydraulic action of water forced…

Everything Else is For Pansies: 'Busa V8 Powered Ariel Atom
/
The problem with most of today’s supercars is that they’re mostly watered down track cars, used as grand tourers. As general-purpose cars they pretty much suck, and while rather impressive as track cars they get schooled by something like this Atom that costs a fraction of the Italian jobs. By the way, this is no…

Hooniverse Asks- What Would You Do With a Naked Viper?
/
It’s not all that uncommon – seeing how many people with more money than sense buy them – to find wrecked Dodge Vipers on the cheap, on eBay or the list de la Craig. However, it’s not everyday that you come across one that’s both in running condition and buck naked.

The HiTong SL50 – My Two-Wheeled Bahamian Adventure Cycle
/
I recently returned from a week long vacation in the Bahamas, specifically the island of Abaco. The town where I was staying had a slew of cars on the road, but the preferred method of transportation was by golf cart. Electric carts are fun for about 30 seconds and then you realize you have “the…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Best Move?
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmfB4caKAcc[/youtube] One of the coolest guys in the movies or on TV has got to be James Garner. I mean, how many people have a driving move named after their TV character? While many a Firebird owner – as exemplified by the guy in the video above – would like to master the technique, few…

You Only Hurt the One You Love- Car Tats
/
Tattoos, like old Mercedes diesels, last forever. That being the case, it’s a good idea if you’re planning to get inked to make sure the subject matter is something that you could live with for the rest of your life. That seems to have been the case for a bunch of car nuts that have…

Last Call- The Atomic Wedgie of Choppers Edition
/
Spotted on a local street a week or so ago. The front forks are so wildly exaggerated that they give the bike the appearance of something Big Daddy Roth would have Rat Fink riding.

What's Your Eleanor? – If You Have the Means Edition
/
The year was 1986 and a plucky young Matthew Broderick decided it was time for his high school student character to take a day off. Along with his girlfriend and depressing best bud, Ferris Bueller took the city of Chicago by storm. His chariot of choice that day? A gleaming red 1961 Ferrari 250 GT…

Release the Sea Hoon!
/
A Jet Sprint Boat is essentially a fiberglass coffin with a V8 engine and a racing seat. The cockpit has just enough room for a driver, co-driver, and their massive sets of junk. The driver of a Jet Sprint Boat navigates a course as fast as possible. How fast is fast? See for yourself in…

Hooniverse Projects- 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
/
From time to time we like to bore regale you with the projects upon which we are currently wrenching. Sometimes it’s a LeMons car that’s being turned into some kind of mobile theme park, other times it’s a classic (well, classic by my definition) car requiring some TLC, and today it’s a 2001 Jeep Grand…

Don't Tell Your Wife: Transgasket Diff Replacement Edition
/
Here’s the sitrep – you blew $1200 on some combination of unhusbandly and morally problematic things (“this 8-ball will last us all weekend!”), and as you sober up the harsh reality stabs you in the eye like that beam of light from your seedy motel’s venetian blind – your wife is going to KILL you.…

The Wraith…is for sale!
/
Packard Walsh thinks he and his gang own the town, as well as the surrounding roads. They race, they steal, adn they kill. One of their victims was Jamie Hankins. He is one victim who longs to set things right. He does so by coming back to life as Jake Kesey (played by Charlie Sheen)…

2010 Volkswagen GTI
/
200 turbocharged horses and 207 lbs-ft of torque in a two-door hatchback with a 200 pound man behind the wheel. Ok…220. I’m driving the 2010 Volkswagen GTI, the sixth and latest generation of the German automakers beloved compact sports car. It’s a modern hot hatch which still draws upon its 1976 first generation roots (1983…
