Streetwalker- The Peace Maker Does Not Respect Your Ridgeline
/
Well, once again our favorite road-side used car lot has something of interest for us. This 1999 Honda Passport has been re-imagined as a melding of Chevy Avalanche and John Rambo – I didn’t start the Honda, they started the Honda! – creating a tasty melange with a tinge of agent orange.

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Would Be Your Choice To Introduce Automobiles To The Aliens?
/
Launched on March 3rd 1972, the Pioneer 10 spacecraft has the distinction of being the man-made object that has travelled the greatest distance from Earth.

Mystery Car

Okay ladies and germs, time to fire up that old Google image search and see if you can match the picture above. Let’s see if you can give me make, model, country of origin, engine type and drivetrain. You all are pretty good at these things so I expect the correct answer will come in…

Roadside Discoveries: Otto's Wheels, Inc.; A Classic in Classic Cars
/
I ran this post in Automotive Traveler almost a year ago. Since then, I no longer travel about looking for these oddities, mainly because I no longer travel about…. The company I was working for decided they no longer need an articulate, cultivated individual within the medium truck world, just someone who says yes all…

/
Now that we’ve mostly made it through the slog of winter, and mud season is upon us, what better time to think about going topless. Some of us may already have a summer convertible (or two), but for those who don’t, how about a little help here? What do you think would be some good…

Showdown: 3-Way 70s Forced Induction Import Battle
/
In our last Showdown, the Country Sedan stomped all over the Chevy Panel Wagon. Some accused me of stacking the deck in favor of a Ford like my own, but I don’t set the prices. I just picked two examples in the same price range. Anyway, onward… We’re mixing things up today with a trio…

Join The Full Size Wagon Club! $2500 Entry Fee Gets you 410c.i. and 444lb-ft!
/
You know what motor probably doesn’t need more torque? A hi-po Ford 390FE from the late 60s. Apparently no one told Mercury, because in their never-ending quest to be just a little different from Ford, they dropped the crank from a 428 into one, resulting in the Marauder 410, which has a torque curve (and…

Jalopnik Unveils New Manifesto, We Pontificate
/
In case you missed it (or didn’t click on the post b/c it looks like something about with Tom Cruise), Jalopnik’s grand panjandrum Ray Wert just unleashed 13 paragraphs of…something. A mix of mea culpa, mission statement and call-to-arms, it seems they’ll be taking a more focused direction. Our thoughts after the jump.

The Power of Dreams…and Smoke Machines: Third Gen Accord Limos
/
Have you ever been traveling in a limo, be it for prom, a wedding, or a totally XX-rated bachelor party trip to the airport and concluded that your stretched automobile riding experience would be much, much more pleasurable if the vehicle was smaller, less flashy, less luxurious, comically underpowered and Japanese?

Chevy 350-powered Tractor Defies Logic, Clearly a Must-Own Toy
/
Summer is almost here! Time to pull your SBC-powered, dump-bed equipped Worthington tractor out of the shed, devote a half-hour to ponder why you deep-sixed your third marriage over constructing it, correctly ascertain that it serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and gloriously over-sell it in an eye-watering eBay Motors ad!!! (Bonus WWJD “what would you…

2010 Suzuki Kizashi
/
Kih-Za-Shee. Not Keeshasha, Kezhasee, or Kissahee. Definitely not Ke$ha either…eww. This is the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi SE All-Wheel Drive and it’s a good car with a weird name. The name does have a purpose beyond confusing old men and young women, as it roughly translates to “omen” or “warning” in English. The Kizashi is basically…
