Hooniverse Asks- What Car Would You Like to Drive into a Pool?
/
Jezza did it in a Roller, Keith Moon favored a Lincoln Continental, and just last month a Massachusetts mom canonballed her SUV. Driving cars into swimming pools may not have the national attention of say Dancing With the Stars, but it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining.

Don't Let this '69 Subaru 360 Slip Through Your Fingers
/
An eBay seller whose screen name seemed familiar has decided to let this Subaru 360 go with no reserve. As of this writing, that means a little over a grand. It runs and drives, but needs attention. The paint’s not bad by our standards, but most would call it crappy. The driver’s side floor has…

Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The 1982 Chevette the GM dropped a V6 into.

Some of you may or may not know that I write a monthly column for Chevy Enthusiast Magazine, titled Weird and Wonderful Bowties. It is quite unlike any other column you may read in a magazine, but not unlike this blog. You see, I don’t like writing about all the usual suspects that might be…

The 1970’s era was like no other when it came to the Domestic Automotive Landscape. In the course of a single decade, new laws were written that had a profound effect on the design, production, and the sale of cars. Within this new and heavily-regulated environment, Chevrolet introduced a new nameplate, the Laguna.

We're All Illegal!

The coppers in Perth, Australia don’t take kindly to displays of hoonage. In fact, should they catch you hooning in your hoonmobile, they’ll not only slap you with a fine, they’ll lock up your car. As Patrick Nugawela discovered, they’ll even lock up the car when it belongs to someone else.

How To Spend Your Weekend: Local Car Shows Can Be Enjoyable….
/
Last weekend, I spent Sunday Morning at a local car show near my home town. It was an annual event, but the attendance (both the spectators and the participants) seems to be smaller this year over past years.

Am I wrong to think that with a little work, this little French van could easily make a fantastic parts hauler?

yesterday we asked about Forbes list of terrible, horrible worst cars ever, and you all found a lot to disagree with creepy Steve’s magazine’s choices. Today we want to know if you think modern cars are better to drive than old cars, or if, like the 1950s, those golden oldies were the best.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS
/
We often talk about the joy of driving slow cars – fast. It can be quite thrilling to take a car more inclined towards fuel economy than fueling excitement and drive it with purpose through a canyon pass. You have to work harder to receive your reward. The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS is such a…

It's Stormy in France: LeMans Tempest Could Be Your Daily Driver
/
I’m a big fan of GM’s Y-body platform. Why? In an alternate universe, it could’ve been the progenitor of a line of well engineered mid-size sports cars. With unibody construction, four wheel independent suspension, rear transaxles (or engines!) and a host of peppy small displacement engines, it’s a script GM didn’t had to re-discover relatively…

V.I.S.I.T. – Fates, McDonaldland, and Soda Edition
/
Let us consider the Fates: they, which grant you a survivable misfortune of spotting a questionable vehicle in traffic by its incredulous mobility in the other direction, for which you’re thankful. Until you realize it was only a temporary reprieve, for They will give you visual apoplexy when you stumble upon it in a parking…
