Pardon Our Grease

In case you hadn’t noticed, things have been a bit wonky over the last 36 hours. This is your fault. All of you for showing up so often and reading a bunch of posts, resulting in us getting a bit of a reprimand from our hosting providers at Inmotion Hosting. East Coast David is helping…

Okay, I’m a day late and a dollar short with this collection, but I think you’ll find the gallery worth the wait. On Monday’s Last Call we had a shot of a passing mirror, teasing a car that showed up last Saturday to the weekly Cars & Coffee impromptu meeting of classic cars in Montrose…

It should be fun to drive, provide a taste of what’s in store if you explore deeper into the model lineup, and show the world that you are climbing your respective career ladder.

This week saw the addition of Zach Bowman and Ms Amber to the Hooniverse writing crew, but there’s a third late addition we’d like to introduce. Meet Henry Marshall Odell, aka Mad_Science_Jr. All 8lbs, 6oz of him and his ridiculous hair arrived Friday morning. Mom, baby and dad are doing well. Also, we can see…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Automotive Prank You've Ever Been Party To?
/
You don’t have to be Ashton Kutcher to enjoy seeing someone get Punk’d. In fact, I’d kind of like to give Demi’s boy toy a good punch to the neck just for being a douchebag. But still, everybody admires a well-thought out prank, and I’m sure many of you have either been the perpetrators or…

Any port in the storm so the old saying goes, and that was the case in Kastamonu, Turkey, where a driver lost control of his truck after suffering a heart attack, and chased a pedestrian right into the lobby of the Turk Telekom building.

AMC Hornet Rallye X 360 is Not a Rollerblade Trick
/
…but it kind of sounds like one. Predating the era of Oakley Frogskins and neon-green Xtreme everything by about 20 years comes this AMC Hornet sporting a groovy shade of yellow. Groovy fades to bitchin’ as we check out the drivetrain. With a warmed over 360c.i. backed up by a T-5 five speed, this compact’s…

Get Shorty: Gurgel XEF Might Present Choking Hazard
/
“There is nothing wrong with your monitor. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.” Let me tell you what the Gurgel XEF is not: It’s not a Shriner car from behind the Iron Curtain.
