Faster, Faster, Faster, Until the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death …
/
Speed, being relative, is a hard thing to appreciate or perceive. Speed from behind the wheel is different from speed on TV from the sofa. Sometimes, to see how fast an object is moving you need to look at it while it’s not moving at all.

The idea of a saloon car holds great appeal, especially if that saloon car is as sexy as the Aston Martin Rapide.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
/
[Our beloved Ambersand submitted this some time ago, and due to my own incompetence I somehow missed it, or forgot about it, or lost it. We tried to get it all polished up and ready to run yesterday, but we weren’t quick enough. As such, we’re running it today. Got an article you think we’d…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: 1970's Super Coupes? Car Lust's Take on the 70's
/
We all know the 1970’s offered lackluster cars, chocking emission regulations, and bumpers that rivaled guard rails in their size. It was also a time in which there were quite a number of Import Coupes catching on, and I discovered this little piece from the guys over at Car Lust.

Last Call- Belissima Edition
/
This jewel of a bike is a Benelli, as you can tell from the decals on both gas and oil tanks. But it was sold here in the U.S. by another company, a clue to which is evident as well. For your Friday evening rumination- who was that company, and what did they call this…

Spot the Pony
/
Do you remember that picture of a pinto pony against a snowy backdrop, where the horse seems to blend in with its surroundings? Well, Ford does, and if you’re a Facebook friend of the Company, you can see their take on that picture in one of the teaser shots for the upcoming uni-body Explorer. Typically,…

Hooniverse Asks- Can a Sportscar be Front-Wheel Drive?
/
Yesterday on Jalopnik, I proposed a $13,750 1991 Lotus Elan as our first NPOCP candidate of the week. While the car eventually pulled out a narrow victory, much discussion was undertaken on its desirability due to which end provided motivation- which in the case of this Elan, was the front. While no one would deny…

Hooniverse Asks- What Was The Best Cartoon Car?
/
You know, when I was a kid, it never occurred to me that Fred’s steamroller-esque car would be impossible to steer, making the crude wooden tiller mostly decorative. Additionally, back ten, it didn’t seem all that odd that Pebbles might be hanging over one deadly rolling stone, and Bam Bam would ride on the roof.…

/
Yesterday, we considered which has been history’s greatest Chevrolet. And, while the bow tie brigade has had a dozen or more contenders plying America’s highways over the years, their competition over at the House of Henry has provided the World with some of the most memorable cars and trucks available for over 100 years.

Muscle Car Holy Grail Hits eBay with No Reserve but One Little Issue…
/
eBay is a funny place. Often we’ve found ourselves gawking at great deals, only to watch prices climb exponentially in the last 24 hours or even 24 minutes. Other times we get ourselves all worked up based on the title and pictures, but miss the fine print. such is the case for this ’65 GTO.…

Last Call – Wanted Dead or Alive Edition

Someday, when I look back on my life for the inevitable cable television documentary on A&E/Discovery/Court TV/VH1’s “Hey, Remember the ‘00s?” series, I’ll be able to pinpoint the exact moment that changed my life: when I discovered that you can mount a gun rack on a motorcycle. Combining two manly and unhealthy things in a…

Autorama 2010
/
Saturday was a productive day at casa de Schmo. I spent the better part of the morning tinkering with Eleanor. Heck, I still have grease under my fingernails. The latter part of the day I braved 50 degree temperatures and huge crowds to drag my two Hoons-in-training around the Sandy Expo Center for Utah Autorama.

Last week, Hooniverse reviewed the 2010 Ural Solo sT, Ural’s newest product, and this week we’re looking at an updated version of the Ural that started it all – the Patrol.
