Yeah, Kids, We All Age

Some more gracefully than others. Dennis Hopper, an icon of the 60’s subculture drug movement passed last week and was laid to rest on Thursday in Taos, New Mexico. While a cult offering in my older brothers’ world, this olelongrooffan didn’t identify with Easy Rider as much. But I caught the connection with his offering for the Blue…

The Iconic Roadster
/
Last week was the first installment of Modern Art Monday, and we took a look at the taillight of the Jaguar XJ. Today we are looking at an entire vehicle. The Iconic Roadster is a low-volume, high-horsepower monster that takes the style of the classic AC Cobra and turns it into a modern work of…

Are You Man Enough to Drive a Pink Nash Metropolitan?
/
If you’re reading this site, you’ve probably come around to the idea of a Miata as an acceptable man’s car. In fact, on the whole, we’re cool with little cars. But dude…that’s a lot of pink.

Last Call- 2Pac Towers Edition
/
Apparently the Ford Econoline is too broad a canvas for just one loss to society. Also, I think Freedomn is some sort of S&M club. Where there appears to be a cover. Image source : [Imgur.com]

Chrysler Imperial Project Seduces With Potential Madness
/
There are some projects that you want so badly to start on, but common sense keeps getting in the way, despite all attempts by the car-guy aspects of your psyche to do an end-run around said common sense and appeal directly to the emotional parts of your brain. This is one such car.

Just the Good ol' Boys, Jumpin' Over a Tollbooth
/
Since “Dukes of Hazzard” has entered our common lexicon as a verb (“Just Dukes-of-Hazzard it over the curb, bro!”), it should be said that this speeding, drunken idiot – despite imperiling the lives of innocent tollbooth-goers – did successfully Dukes of Hazzard her Impala out of Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport. Impressive, but shameful. Video and…

I'd Hate to be 'Cut Off' By That Truck
/
Ever wonder how they transport the massive components for those electricity generating wind turbines? They put ’em on really, really long trucks and then plan routes avoiding sharp turns and low overpasses. One of the big manufacturers of these turbines is Fargo-based DMI industries, donchaknow. Their pictures of tower segments being trucked around are equally…

No Wheel Thursday: Standup Jet Skis Going Extinct In 18 Months
/
Okay, so personal watercraft aren’t cars, and they don’t go on roads. But they’re still hoontastic, internal combustion fun. Unfortunately, “standups,” the smallest, purest and most demanding type of personal watercraft are hearing voices telling them to walk toward the light. There are a number of riflemen standing before them in their firing squad: “Couches”…

Hooniverse Asks- What Cheap Fun Car From the Past Would you Like to See Resurrected?
/
Pocket rockets, GT packages, Euro trim. There used to be a lot of fun little cars out there, and they didn’t cost an arm and a leg to buy and own. Today, Honda still gives us the Civic Si, and Nissan’s Sentra SE-R won’t cost you a kidney to buy, but that’s pretty much it.…

2010 Audi S4

We all know Audi’s illustrious sporting history which ranges from Group B monsters to Pikes Peak killers. The current history features an exotic trio of R8s for the street and the mighty diesels that tackle the endurance racing world. It’s not just the Audi super vehicles which charm us with their sports car bravado and…

Last Call – Life Imitates Art Edition
/
They say art – even drug-induced, stylistically interpreted or simply great art – is an imitation of life. But every once in a while you find art that’s no more deliberate than the whims of everyday happenstance. Such as this early ’50’s Studebaker Starlite: the same today as it was when this picture was taken last fall,…

Found on Craigslist: one-owner 510
/
A unique 1972 blue DATSUN 510 4-dr Automatic sedan, one of only four or five known showroom-stock 510s remaining anywhere While I cannot verify the accuracy of the sellers statement, I gotta say that this particular 510 would be considered extraordinarily rare.

’65 Fleetwood Brougham Drops Anchor on Route 66, Needs a New Home
/
Remember when Cadillac built a vehicle that was taken just as seriously by this continent’s rich and famous as its foreign competition but wasn’t called Escalade? Me neither. However, Tomsk the Elder and I spotted this three-owner, large-and-in-charge barge Thursday while walking along the town’s northerly east-west artery (less than a mile west of the…

Name That Part – fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu Edition
/
In our last Name That Part, BeerRover managed to get it right as a Jag XK120 battery cover. Well done. The “fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu” meme, aka “ragefu” or “rage guy” has been around since about 2008, spawned in the primordial ooze of the 4chan swamps and currently thriving on reddit. The meme revolves around something unexpected and…
