Last Call- Your Car Is How Fast? Edition
/
Intrinsically evil-looking, record book shattering, and detente-driving are only some of the phrases that could be used to describe the SR71. With the possible exception of the Lamborghini Reventon no car has ever come close to matching the batman-on-crack styling of these planes, even though they are a product of late fifties technology and engineering.…

Name That Part- Double Jeopardy Round Edition
/
There comes a time in every car owner’s life when, for one reason or another, their ride lets them down. The excuse could be a failure of some part or another due to wear, a flaw in the design, or just their own poor maintenance practices. Whatever the cause, it can put both car and…

Italy Week: Super Facebook Mega-Gallery Madness!
/
So the kids these days are all on this “face book” thing, which (if you’re to believe the local news) must be a hotbed of “sexting” and that foul hip-hop music. It’s also a good place to look at some cars. Here is the Facebook mega-gallery to all the interesting cars and motorcycles that slipped…

Topless and Classy at the Same Time
/
Classic Mercedeses devoid of greater than six liter motors do little for me personally, but the cache of a vehicle such as this cannot be denied. This 1957 Mercedes 220S Cabriolet appears to have halfway through a restoration, judging by the condition of the undercarriage and the primer job. It sports a dual-carbed six cylinder…

Hooniverse Asks- What Was Your Worst Car-Buying Experience?
/
Whether it was through a dealer, craigslist, or calling the number on a For Sale sign in the window of a street-parked ride, we’ve all had some less than wonderful experiences with buying a car. Some of them just leave a bad taste in your mouth. Some, make you question the fate of humanity- let’s…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Worst Piece of Car Advice You've Ever Received?
/
It could be: I’d try fixing it with JB Weld. Or maybe: That Neon’s $800, it’s not like you could lose money on buying it. Or, the ever popular: Don’t worry, empty always means you still have at least two gallons left. Car advice, some of it’s good, a lot of it’s bad. The old saying goes…

None of us will ever be as cool as Jack. Hell, few of us are as icy smooth as Mr. Freeman there. But just like the two septuagenarian actors, one day we’ll all meet our maker. Before that happens, there’s a list – as used for the central plot device in The Bucket List –…

Last weekend, I spent Sunday Morning at a local car show near my home town.

Last Call- How's Your Commute Again? Edition
/
In Colombia, when you live on one side of the Rio Negro river, and your school is on the other, it’s not soccer moms in SUVs delivering the kids to class, it’s a tarzan-besting quarter-mile long zip line that whisks them there at over 40 mph. While not one of the three Rs, hooning is…
