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?

What new cars do you want to see us review?
/
Here at Hooniverse we have a fondness for the old/classic/busted/unusual/LeMons/exotic/cheap/expensive vehicles of the world. The problem is that we also like new cars. These two worlds can co-exist (daily driver vs project car) peacefully, I promise. We have posted a few new car reviews but they have all been expensive, high-powered machines. Wait, what’s the…

Last Call- First Amendment Edition

While it’s true that Peeing Calvin window stickers have become an increasingly popular form of expression, it’s obvious that this Blazer owner’s goal was to create the War and Peace of the medium. Of course what’s really strange is his expectation that viewers wouldn’t understand what ‘Truck Nuts’ are, and so has to spell it…

Last Call – Like it's on Rails Edition

Did you know there’s a whole race series for railroad handcars? It certainly can’t be that surprising—in a world where people drag race their belt sanders and try to top 100mph on their lawn mowers, handcar racing doesn’t seem so much a sport as it is a highly competitive form of upper-body exercise. Stuffing an…

Mystery Car Revealed

That’s right, it’s a 1953 Moretti 750 Gran Sport. PFG “spit out” the correct answer after first addition an extraneous and kind of embarrassing appendage. Moretti got his start making motorcycle engines, transitioning to cars after WWII. This Gran Sport rocks a 748-cc dohc four that puts out a bantam 71 horsepower. The Michelotti bodywork…
