V.I.S.I.T. – Don't See That Every Day Edition
/
This was one of those vehicular discoveries you just never expect to see; and when you do see them, you don’t expect things to work out so well that you get to chat cars with the owner for a half-hour or so. But nevertheless, that’s how it all turned out.

A Conquest For Sale, Tampa Area, Slightly Customized (Yea, Right!)
/
The only thing I have to say is what did this Chrysler Conquest (remember, this is a rebadged Mitsubishi Starion after all) do to deserve this fate. Yes, the body work is questionable, but wait until you see what else has been done to it.

Hooniverse Parting Shot: The Chevy Trailblazer and its Five Clones.
/
During the new millennium America’s love affair with the Sport Utility Vehicle was in full bloom, with the mid-sized versions as the sales leaders. These vehicles were the replacements for the unloved minivans and station wagons of yesterday. General Motors was desperately trying to modernize their offerings while increasing production levels to keep the fat…

Burnout Win: Dahlbäck Audi SportQuattro Shows How It's Done
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUL6jFvCk8A[/youtube] Okay, this actually doesn’t have a lot to do with a burnout, it’s just generally a video of a very nice SportQuattro showing off, but the clip at the end is a very nice contrast to the epic failure of the Neon earlier. And the soundtrack for this little car is practically music. Nobody…

When Sex Was Safe and Racing Was Dangerous
/
According to Hans Stuck, now it’s the other way around. We tend to agree. In today’s look at the 2010 Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival, we’re going to get up close and personal with the folks who risked injuries of historic proportions to race some of the past’s fastest and most dangerous vehicles on one of…

Lancia Delta Group B Rally Car on Ebay; What Do You Think Its Worth?
/
Another great Tip from The Doctor (Thanks, Man!), who alerted us to a piece of rolling history. This is an actual Group B Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car, from what was probably the greatest chapter in Racing History, the FIA World Rally Championship in 1985 and 1986.

Ready, Aim, FIRE! In this Order, Please*

From the outside, most American V8s look about the same. Things get interesting once you start messing with ignition or camshafts. As you can see here, there’s more to be figured out. Aside from distributor and spark plug wire installations, these differences contribute to the specific sound and feel that each engine has. Print it…

Hooniverse Asks- What's The Most Embarrassing Thing You've Ever Done To Your Car?
/
We all have taste, it’s what keeps our mouths happy. That being said, we all have taste, and like a dog-crap fudge sundae, sometimes that taste is bad. Some people exhibit bad taste all the time, and some folks – most of us I’d say – have our moments of taste weakness. What we want…

Quick and dirty Ford GT primer
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VSyO7PciLM&feature=channel[/youtube] The Ford GT is an awesome car and since I know for a fact that we have exactly two millions of hardcore Ford GT fans that visit this little website The Greatest Page In The Hooniverse, I figured I would sniff around for some footage to show how much I care. This video that…

1965 Galaxie 500 in Mint Condition — or "Mint Condition"
/
We spotted this lovely Galaxie 500 for sale recently, and it’s a perfect case of an unmotivated seller. From the description, to the price, to the simple fact that reality doesn’t quite seem to tie in with the seller’s description, one can safely assume you’re not going to get a great deal on this car.

/
I spotted this over the weekend while surfing from site to site and I came across this little number over at RideLust. So I ask, is this the most controversial 70’s ride that you may have never known about?

Hooniverse Asks- What Car has the Worst Stigma?
/
Whether it’s the VW Beetle being identified as a girl’s car, or the Camaro-mullet connection, many cars and trucks suffer from the image-projection stereotypes of their owners. Some aren’t that bad- the tweed-coated college professor image of the Peugeot 504 for instance. Some are wholly egregious- Porsche lothario anyone?
