Hoonivision: 11 Minutes of Alpine A110 Racing is Time Well Spent
/
For some inexplicable reason, seeing a horribly modified, bewinged Accord coupe out my window reminded me of its automotive polar opposite: the tasteful, classic, and dangerously fast Alpine A110. Make the jump to watch a couple of videos of the A110 in action.

Lotus 23B Gets its Rev On

If you’re a fan of Jim Clark, as well as David and Goliath stories, then you’re probably familiar with the Lotus 23 sports racer. You may, however, have not been fortunate enough to hear what one sounds like. . .

From Our Tabs to Yours: Friday Afternoon Linkage
/
As we’ve said before, this site was born as an outlet for all the car window-shopping and BS-ing that we were already spending too much time doing. Turns out it still takes a few minutes to put together a post, but it only takes seconds to open a dozen craigslist or eBay ads. Particularly if…

Rare Sterling 827 SLi Hatch is a Tempting Anglo-Japanese Grab Bag of Win, Horror
/
Let’s say you want a mid-size, V6-powered 5-door hatchback with a manual transmission, but first-gen Mazda 6 prices have got you down because your budget constraints are lower. Like, picking through other peoples trash for recyclable items flipping ground beef patties lower. What’s a hoon to do? Move to Europe – where 5-doors and wagons…

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…

Oh the Wares in this House!
/
Friend of Hooniverse MikeTheDog, who is in fact not a dog at all despite the confusing facial scruff, recently attended an automotive get-together at a Ypsilanti warehouse. It turned out not to be a collection of modded Z’s, BMWs with aftermarket wheels, and MkV Golfs with rusted hoods. No…this was a show.

Found on Craigslist: Geomino. Slight tornado damage
/
Every time I look at this is makes me giggle. I am still undecided on whether is awesome or awful. There are very few cars out there that walk that line. On the one hand, the guy obviously took a lot of time to create a -mino out of a Prizm…

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? Well, apparently Jules Kaplan…

Last Call- How's Your Commute? Edition
/
We’ve seen jet-powered cars, and rocket-powered jetpacks, however neither of those was very good at multi-tasking. But now, for only $86,000 and a permanent butt-pucker, you can sail over traffic jams in a V4 piston-powered turbofan jetpack. The Martin Jetpack has a 280-lb load capacity (sorry tubbos) and a 31-mile range at an FAA-regulated 63…

Hooniverse Asks- What Was Bob Lutz's Greatest Achievement?
/
Bob Lutz, or Maximum Bob to use his porn name, retired from GM last Friday. At 78 years old, some would say it’s about time. Those who know him however, would probably say why so soon? Over his career, which has spanned decades and has touched all the major American manufacturers as well as some…

Warning: No Lifeguard on Duty
/
Some car washes offer brushless cleaning, others tout “hand wash” but if you really want your Mazda to be summer fresh, nothing beats a full immersion in the clorine-rich waters of an apartment house swimming pool. That’s perhaps what the driver of this hatchback 3 thought as he knocked down the fence and bellyflopped into…

Stereotypes Ahoy! 1970s Holden Ad Explains Australians
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Ic3RqPIJo[/youtube] Ah, the 1970s. An era of unrepressed malaise, in which the atmosphere of boundless optimism was, itself, optimistic at best. This video, featuring completely irrelevant close-up shots of mammaries in small bikinis, seems to attempt to bring out the patriotism of Australians in spite of the general mediocrity of automobilia available to them, either…

Last Call- The KKK Took My Chevy Away Edition

This may go down in history as the most WTF? Craigslist car ad ever. You wouldn’t even think one of those pointy-ass hoods would fit in a Camaro. Cracker, haters FTL! Thanks to Marius for the screen grab.
