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…

Audi R8 Spyder vs. the Beasts: who are YOU rooting for?
/
The creatively-titled British marketing magazine, uh, Marketing Magazine described this ad, entitled “Beauty and the Beasts,” as “a series of unattractive cars driving chaotically.”

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.

For Sale: A 1977 Panther Six – One of Only Two Produced
/
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?

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Race Motor?
/
Tracks need cars to run on them, and drivers need cars to run on those tracks, and all those cars need motors to make them more than just stationary art objects. Out of all of those motivators, which one really gets your motor running?

Friday Fantastico: 2008 Lola T70 Mk. 3B
/
“Hi, I’m the Lola T70. You may remember me from such films as ‘Le Mans’ and ‘THX 1138.’” Sweet mother of mercy! If the sight of that wide-eyed sports racer don’t set your heart aflutter, sir, you have no heart. But look a little closer and you’ll notice it’s nearly a brand-new construction, and it’s…

Hooniverse Editorial: Cars Have No Soul
/
[This was the first piece I wrote for The Smoking Tire. It was sufficiently blasphemous enough for me to stick around there for a while.] There, I said it. Alfa Romeo drivers, prepare to have your hearts broken.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Last Call; WEEEEEEEEE!
/
We receive a lot of image submissions here at Hooniverse HQ, but this one caught us off guard. This was submitted by Josh in New York (Thanks, Man). This is what he has to say: I got off work in midtown and was walking to the subway and saw a sweet Ferrari California — I…

Name That Engine
/
Here’s an easy one, in fact half the work is done for you as the Ferrari name is cast into the cam cover. Also, if you count the pipes, you can tell that it has at least six cylinders. The question is, what’s it powering, and what are the details of this Italian artwork? Shouldn’t…

Hooniverse Asks- Have You Ever Sold a Car That You Now Wish You Hadn't?

It happens- you make a plan to clear out a space in the driveway, or to make a few extra bucks, by getting rid of a car that – at the time – you have fallen out of love with. Maybe it was a wild hair that drive the initial purchase, maybe it was too…
