Estonians Give Russians a Run for their Kooky Snow Vehicle Money
/
When we think of Estonia, we think of…umm…trying to remember which one’s which between Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia when placing them on the map in northeastern Europe. That, and cyber-war. What we don’t think of are Passat monster trucks. That’s right. Jump!

V.I.S.I.T. – Forgotten but Not Quite Gone Edition
/
Yep! A Laforza. Slightly anemic Ford 5 liter V8, Italian designed leather interior, strange amateur repair job on hood, Ferrari badging, basically it was a conundrum. Amazingly it was still on the road and didn’t sound overly obnoxious when I cruised by. For those of you that have no idea what this is, make the…

A Ranchero So Ugly, They Wouldn't Even Let it in the Barn
/
Yup, they found it under a tree, next to the barn. Under a layer of leaves. Good news is, Ford smallblocks are cheap and easy to fix, so apparently it runs great. The seller had his priorities correct; in addition to the engine work he had the bench seat redone and…nothing else. But with a…

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…

License Plate Badassity- Web Meme Edition
/
The plate on this Volvo – parked in the Griffith Observatory parking lot – proves two things; that its owner probably has like a million followers on Twitter; and that the DMV employee who approved his vanity plate doesn’t even know what Twitter is. ROTFL! Image source: [Reddit]

Ten hours, four states, and one foolproof plan: how I learned to stop worrying and love the motorcycle – Part One
/
[Ed. Note: BZR spins a fanciful tale about his purchase of his two-wheeled Eleanor. You can read more of his work at The Smoking Tire.] The motorcycle looked just like it had in the small, blurry photos from the eBay listing. Its paintjob was a combination of rust, swirls, and faded flat black paint layered…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: UDMan's new (well not so new) Venture…
/
I have a new venture, and that is to rebuild a reputation of a local truck dealer, and to recover lost relationships squandered by the previous owners. You see, I am starting over at a Springfield (Mass.) based dealership, and will be in charge of their Medium Duty Truck Lines.

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…

New RSS Feed Address and Workarounds to the Missing Pictures Thing

In the seven-ish months we’ve been around, we managed to outgrow one hosting provider and we’re on the brink of busting the seams on our current setup. For this, we have our awesome (and ever-expanding) writing staff to thank, as well as you, the loyal users. We got into this for the cars, not the…

Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The 1964 Chevy Super Nova Show Car
/
This is an interesting piece I did recently for Chevy Enthusiast Magazine on a little known show car that made its debut in the Spring of 1964. However, this was also the time in which the wildly successful Ford Mustang made its debut, making this show car virtually obsolete overnight. Was it a case of…

Best Marque Name Ever? Deep Sanderson 301 Le Mans Coupe

Of all the minuscule British racers with awesome names (Clan Crusader, anyone?), I happen to think that the Deep Sanderson 301 has the field beat on absurdity alone.

To Hoon or not to Hoon, that is the six hundred dollar question

WWJSD? I would totally take it to LeMons if there was one close to me. Fiats do have an extensive racing history, why wouldn’t I want to Hoon the hell out of it?
