Chevrorsche 924 Proves American Ingenuity Isn't Dead – It Just Needs a New Hobby
/
Let’s say you’ve got a lot of Chevy parts laying around, as well as a funny furrin car that you can’t find parts for at Midwest Auto Parts, but that the girls all seem to like. Let’s also imagine you know which end of the wrench to hold, but not necessarily which end of the…

Hooniverse Asks- Do You Really Care How Many Cylinders Your Car Has?
/
Yesterday I asked if you would be open to the thought of a V6 engine in a Corvette, as an ancillary model. Some responded no effing way, and condemned me as anti-American. Others said, sure, as long as the engine and the car adhere to the expected performance and feel of a real Vette. The…

Steve Saleen has a long history of building powerful cars; from the sporty Saleen Mustang to the potent S7. His new company, SMS Supercars, started life with the 570 Challenger. They will eventually turn their wrenches on to the Camaro, but their newest creation is the SMS 302 Mustang.

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Le Mans Racer?
/
Well, the 2010 24 Heures du Mans is in the books, and in a blow to the efforts of all others, Audi managed a 1-2-3 sweep, once again securing their dominance of the French circuit. This ninth victory for the Germans ties them with Ferrari, and proves the old tortoise and hare maxim that slow…

V.I.S.I.T: What Do You Think a 1969 car with a 350 is Worth?
/
I went to a local car show over the weekend and saw this car for sale. It was actually a lovely little car, with a stonking engine, in a shade of blue that you don’t see on modern cars. I think the asking price is a tad high, but to find out what it is,…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Car Movie?
/
Whether The Great Race, Stroker Ace, or The Italian job, with Minis all over the place, movies and cars go hand in hand. If you were stranded on a deserted island, with only a flint, Rosie O’Donnell and an iPod, which car movie would you take along?

Caption this: Two Chevy's, one hump edition
/
Since we don’t really have any memes of our own (that I can think of) I’m going to go ahead and coin the term Doin it Chevy-style. Have at it in the comments. Special thanks to CptSevere for the photo.

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:…

So Jim, why did you put the * in the title? That’s a very good question reader, and one that you will find out, after the jump….

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…
