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.

Caption This – Weekend Edition

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…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Two car that defy description, yet that doesn't seem to matter…
/
Looking through the “Other Makes” section of Ebay recently, I noticed a couple of listings that were just a little curious, and I thought I would share. One is a “Concept Car” the other is a car with a new “Concept”. OK Jim, what are you trying to say? Well, make the jump to find…

1965 Galaxie 500 in Mint Condition — or "Mint Condition"
/
We spotted this lovely Galaxie 500 for sale recently, and it’s a perfect case of an unmotivated seller. From the description, to the price, to the simple fact that reality doesn’t quite seem to tie in with the seller’s description, one can safely assume you’re not going to get a great deal on this car.

I was supermotard before Supermotard was supermotard
/
As any 2-wheel hoon will tell you, motards, or streetified dirt bikes, are an unholy blast. Here’s mine, circa 1984. You might be tempted to call it a Supermotard, but at the time this bike was built, the term didn’t exist, or at least hadn’t migrated outside of France.

History Road 2010: Simplificate and Add Lightness — The Prequel
/
Years before Colin B. Chapman, CBE, instituted his oft-stated mantra of “simplify and add lightness”, that mentality was in wide use during the 1920s and 30s amongst those few brave souls willing to undertake the sport of auto racing. In fairness, those lads may have taken it significantly further. They may also have had balls…

"Dumb Buggy" is Equal Parts Stupid and Awesome, But Totally Cheap
/
No one ever puts anyone in the back seat of a baja bug, but one does need to carry gear when going to the desert. Solution? Put a flat bed on that puppy! While we’re at it, let’s replace the typical bug sheetmetal with lightweight aluminum panels. Simplify, add lightness for the win? Maybe not…but…

2010 Audi Q5
/
Last time I reviewed a crossover, I told you that I was beginning to warm up to them. It is getting harder and harder to find a good sporty wagon, and the more crossover Kool-Aid I drink the better they start to look. If you squint at the picture of this 2010 Audi Q5 above…

While this olelongrooffan did not get a chance to attend the Raleigh Classic Car Auction the UDMan shared with we Hoons last Friday, I was lucky enough to have spotted this over the weekend. Yeah, it’s another “pseudo folksy” post for you Hoons to enjoy.
