Ten hours, four states, and one foolproof plan: How I learned stop worrying and love the motorcycle
/
[Part 2 in a series. Read Part 1 here!] I obviously wouldn’t be riding the Honda almost halfway across the country, as I was too much of a wuss to even take it around the block. “Want to take it for a ride?” Don had suggested in a hopeful tone. I took a look at…

Hooniverse Asks- Do you Deny Yourself Car Brands Because of their Owner's Reputations?
/
Ricers, BMW douchebags, white belt and matching shoes Buick drivers, many cars and their owners are burdened with stereotypes. While you don’t necessarily have to possess those attributes to drive one, you know that eventually, either you’ll turn into that stereotype, or somebody will peg you as “one of those whatever-drivers.” Because of that, are…

eBay Find of the Day- Porsche 917 Throttle Bodies
/
More rare than unicorn snot and civil political discourse are these aluminum castings that are claimed to be off of the flat twelve that powered Porsche’s insane 917 racer. The seller says they’ll also fit the 935, in case you’ve got one of those in your garage instead. It’s not often that you come across…

The Griffith Series 200 by Automodello
/
Earlier today I brought up the topic of diecast cars and it was exciting to see what you guys had tucked away in your office or on display proudly in a full-size case. I mentioned that I had one more car to share with you and here it is. I present the inaugural offering from…

So, This is What This olelongrooffan…

…was watching on the old SpeedVision during the late 80’s and early 90’s. BMW E30 M3’s, Ford Cosworths (Merkur here in the States) although you, my fellow Hoons, knew that, Audi 5000’s, Volvo 240’s, an occasional Alfa Romero, a rare Fox body Mustang and tons of Mercedes 190 Evolutions…

Noble Savage: Auto Craft's Savage Barracuda-based GT
/
The ’67-’69 Barracuda was already one of the most interesting and sexy, if underappreciated, muscle cars out there. While most were fitted with vanilla 318s to soothe the average beast (and precious few with the 383 Super Commando), a few Barracudas were ravaged by Auto Craft of Wisconsin, who slapped enough go-fast bits on ’em…

Reader Submissions: An Eldorado Shooting Brake with Bonus!
/
Do I really have to tell you how great our readers are? Once again, we received these images sent to our tip line here at Hooniverse Central from Matthew (Thanks Man). The first shot is a Vintage Cadillac with a difference. Celebrating the Shooting Brake, I thought it was appropriate to show it. His second…

Hooniverse Asks- Do You Use "Additives"?
/
Oil treatments, gas treatments, water pump lube, the automotive aisles are filled with more liquids and powders to make our cars last longer, and perform better, than you can shake a dipstick at. Some are recommended as maintenance retinues, while others are the last ditch attempt of an owner, whose car is on its last…

SLAP CHOP! Quickie photochops worth a thousand cuss words.
/
In the comments for last week’s Thunderbird question, I posted a couple of quick thumbnail paste-ups of how a new T-bird derivative might look. It’s something I’ve done a number of times; I sometimes use an image-editing software package called Adobe® Photoshop® (perhaps you’ve heard of it; it’s rather popular with the young people, I’ve…

Hooniverse goes to…Wendover Utah?

Ok well technically, Hooniverse went to Wendover Nevada to contribute some money to the Nevada Gaming Commission. Interestingly enough, upon arrival we found the motel parking lot liberally sprinkled with SCCA track cars. Interest piqued…

You Don't Need an Avatar to Have Fun in 3D

If there’s one thing I love more than hovercraft, it’s ground-effect aircraft. Why not have both? Shockingly, this crossover contraption is not from Russia, the motherland of strange transportation solutions to questions only a Soviet bureaucrat could have asked (ekranoplan anyone?), it’s from New Zealand. And you thought they were just good for comedic musical…

By Popular Demand: A Unimog in an Art Car Parade.

Thanks to JeepyJayhawk, the Hooniverse witnessed a great “Art Car” in the form of an IsettaCopter. It seems that I left out the other interesting “Art Car”, a vintage Unimog with Case Tractor Attachments.
