V.I.S.I.T. – Spawn of Scottish Militant Left-wing Shipbuilders Edition
/
I’ve written about the troubled but awesome Imp before, but I’ve never seen one off the track (where they’re less troubled and more awesome, generally speaking). And then this little bastard comes into view, parked in my new mecca for automotive randomness, Ballard.

A Falcon for Films
/
Australian friend of Hooniverse (AFOH) Mark Goddard continues to send excellent stuff from the land that brought you Midnight Oil. Side note, the lead singer of that band who was fairly frightening in the “Beds Are Burning” video is now a quite well-respected member of Parliament. He is the Minister for Environment Protection, Heritage, and the…

/
Of all of GM’s remaining brands, Cadillac is possibly best positioned for ultimate success. Here is some of my ideas on how Cadillac can once again be the Standard of the World. This is a four part series in which I discuss the significant history of the Cadillac Brand (Part 1), and then go on…

2010 Lexus IS250 AWD
/
An entry-level luxury sedan should accomplish a few things. It should be fun to drive, provide a taste of what’s in store if you explore deeper into the model lineup, and show the world that you are climbing your respective career ladder. You may wish this were not the case but we live in a materialistic…

V.I.S.I.T. – The Dodge that's worth taking a second look!
/
This is my first V.I.S.I.T. posting for Hooniverse, and I have been saving up this gem for quite a while. Since this category is suppose to be “Vehicles I Saw In Traffic”, I’m going to rename it for my purposes as “Vehicles I Spotted (while) In Transit!”, because this jewel was not in any traffic…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Octane?
/
Everybody likes the Rolling Stones. But when your engine starts singing Can’t You Hear Me Knocking? it may be time to switch up your grade of gas. With prices climbing a good ten to twenty cents per gallon when doing so, that can really add up to emptying your bank account while filling your tank.…

Vans and the Places They Were By Joe Stevens
/
Apparently we’re on a bit of a van kick. Let’s keep it a-rockin’. Having spent a decent portion of the 90s in a gray-on-gray (-on-gray) Ford Club Wagon, this particular Hoon laments the near extinction of the full-size van as a common family hauler. It’s like one day we woke up and wondered…where’d all the…

The Hooniverse Version of Disneyland
/
On a quiet side street in Van Nuys, California there sits a relatively unassuming house. Driving by you might see an unusual car or two parked in the u-shaped driveway, but nothing that would make you hit the brakes. What you wouldn’t see however, is that the side of the house leads back into an…

Why Must This 440-Powered 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron Be So Cheap?
/
I have a problem. There are too many cars in my driveway and too many titles to my name. If I owned a pole barn this would not be a problem, but I do not. The latest painful reminder of my storage inadequacies is this super-sweet 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron, complete with a 440 V8,…

Question of the Weekend: Wouldn't you rather have more choice in Color?
/
Here is a question that has been burning in the back of my mind for the past several years. It seems that we have all become color blind when it comes to our cars or trucks. The new cars are available in a variety of colors, as long as they are shades of Gray. I’m…

Random Cool – A Renualt Clio V6 Sport
/
We love Cars and Coffee…you know this because you hear us mention it once a week. I wanted to give you further proof as to why it’s the greatest get-together on the planet. Before the storms came out to try and force California into the sea, our friend SVT2888 (aka Leo of CnCPics.com) captured this…

Comet Cyclone: Scariest Meteorological Event Imaginable or Sweet Mini-Muscle Find?
/
Seriously, a swirling storm of large balls of ice and rock would be pretty scary. Luckily, this here ’65 Mercury is only frightening if we’re talking about stock handling or braking. For those unaware, the Comet was Mercury’s Falcon platform-mate from a time when the brands’ offerings differed by more than grills and badges. Compared…
