History Road 2010: A Preview
/
This past weekend, I met up with Hooniverse commenters Number_Six and CaffeineFuelled in the small town of Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Every year, the Reynolds Automotive Museum in that town puts on an enormous car show known as History Road. Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing some of the amazing automotive exhibits that were on…

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…

Hooniverse Asks- What's On Your Automotive Bucket List?

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 –…

How To Spend Your Weekend: Local Car Shows Can Be Enjoyable….
/
Last weekend, I spent Sunday Morning at a local car show near my home town. It was an annual event, but the attendance (both the spectators and the participants) seems to be smaller this year over past years. Still, there was some pretty neat vehicles represented, and I would like to share some of my…

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…

Hooniverse Asks- Have You Ever Bought a Car that You Later Regretted Buying?
/
Yesterday we discussed – amid many tears – cars that we let slip and now of which we wish were still in possession. Today we’re looking at the flip side – one that’s much more egregious- Have you ever suffered buyers’ remorse on a car?

Fellow Hoon Buys Greatest Shed Ever
/
There are really two ways to look at this purchase by a close friend of fellow Hoon Citroen67. The first way of looking at it is that he just purchased a rather quirky and obscure vehicle that will probably serve him very well as a support vehicle for his group of friends’ growing fleet of…

The Real List of Girl Cars is pretty darn girlie
/
On the Internets, “chick car” is perhaps the ultimate automotive insult. Probably every car currently in production (other than maybe the Ariel Atom and Se7en) the has been derisively labeled a “chick car” by some forum fanboi at some point. V6 Mustang? Chick car. Miata? Chick car. Corvette? Yes, I’ve even heard that called a…

V.I.S.I.T. – Don't Blame the Commies Edition
/
Many of you will know this car better as the infamous Lada, that bastion of Red Menace repression and Communist fearmongering that so gripped America during the years of Malaise and swamp rabbits. A product of the working-class proletariat, it is still a punchline for everything that went wrong with the Soviet way of life—a…

Pep Boys, Italian style: Rome’s Autoricambi d'Epoca Giolitti
/
Nestled between the kebab shops and knockoff purse stands across from Rome’s Termini station is a rather unassuming auto parts store. It seems like an oddball place for car parts: tourists getting their first glimpse of the Eternal City are looking for currency exchangers and shady Internet cafes rather than woodgrain Nardi three-spoke steering wheels…
