Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Last Call; My what a great looking ass……
/
I came back earlier today from a local car show, and I thought I would provide a preview of a posting that I will put up later this week. It was a small show but there was some hidden treasures, like a Chrysler Finned Hardtop Wagon, a Dodge D-500 Hardtop, a six-cylinder Ranchero, A V-8…

Cars and Coffee Montrose, March 20th, 2010
/
Spring has sprung here in, so it’s time to bring out all the topless, windshield-wiper free rides for an informal car show. CnC Montrose has a different feel than CnC Irvine. Must be something about the air up here.

Lexus LFA Brings Da Noize, Possibly Eats Kittens
/
I had a chance to get up close and personal with a new Lexus LFA a couple of days ago, and can report back that its detailing is even more stunning than it appears in pictures, or even than when hoisted on a car show pedestal, as it was when we first locked high-beams on…

Drunkenly Into Oblivion: The Hooniversal Polar Expedition
/
Like so many other great ideas, this one was borne of a whole lot of alcohol. We were sitting in the Techie Lounge and watching the Top Gear Polar Special. After a few more drinks, someone scoffed at the goings-on in the saga, letting loose with the fatal words that have doomed many men before:…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Orphan Car Show Images by Mike the Dog
/
So, the Orphan Car Show was rained out last week, but an impromptu gathering at the Ypsilanti Auto Heritage Museum’s (AKA Miller Motors) parking lot saved the weekend. And we get to waste another Sunday Morning staring at the pictures that Mike took.

Plenty of Room to Haul Spare Apex Seals: '75 Mazda RX3 Wagon
/
Some day in the not-too-distant future, early-to-mid ’70s rear wheel drive Japanese cars may well be worth more than their domestic contemporaries. This may come about as the slightly younger Japanese nostalgia crowd reaches the prime purchasing power years (otherwise known as mid-life) and Baby Boomers move on to retirement homes. The low sales numbers…

Showdown – Ford Battle Wagon Battle
/
In our last Showdown, the Super-Shag Dodge walked away with it by a handy margin. We’re still creeped out. On to more tasteful times… To many, there’s no beating the aesthetics of cars from the 50s. They’ve got large-radius curves, acres of chrome and dashboards that will certainly kill you in a crash with detail…

Live and in person, a one family owned 1967 Mini Moke!! That’s right my fellow Hoons. I spotted this example on Saturday located next door to a buddy’s home here in The Birthplace of Speed.

Steve McQueen working on greasy pistons and rings, these are a few of my favorite things Hot men, fast cars, worn spurs and big guns. It doesn’t get any better for me. That being said, I’m guessing the same doesn’t go for the majority of you so feel free to provide your own caption to…

Last Call- 15 Minutes of Fame Edition

Fame. Originally you arrived at it by being “discovered” in Schwab’s Drug Store. Later, on TV prime time soaps, it was the temp receptionist that is found to have the qualities necessary for running the company and saving it from bankruptcy. And just last year some dude got a studio deal simply for a YouTube…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Historic Ferrari 625/250 Testa Rossa via Motor Mavens
/
Last weekend I ran a Story about a Porsche 356 that is about to receive an Audi upgrade, written by Tamer Omram for Motor Mavens. It’s great to see that other car related sites are discovering Hooniverse, and it seems that Tamer wrote about this Ferrari at the Concorso Ferrari show in Old Town Pasadena,…

Hooniverse Weekend V.I.S.I.T. Edition – Gettin' the Led Out
/
Drive around Colorado long enough, and you’ll eventually run into one of those old-timey towns whose main street has been preserved to look as it did in the 1800s. The words “historical” and “heritage” are thrown around with alarming frequency, mostly used to describe antiques stores, steakhouses, and art galleries, whose wooden storefronts and hand-painted…
