Car cakes make your kid's birthday party a little more tolerable
/
As an adult, the concept of a birthday party for a child is slightly less fun than it was before. You could avoid a house full of screaming, Nerf-shooting human larvae with a fistful of scotch, or you could bake those snot-nosed punks these cakes and introduce them to the joys of motoring at an…

TVR's Russian Owner Alexander Smolensky on Future Models: Built in Germany, Corvette Powered, Hybrid Soon
/
TVR, a car with very little history in the US, has a rich heritage across the pond. And as any true petrol-head knows, the brand has been dead for a couple of years. When the Blackpool company was actually producing cars they were like no other, with their own engines, switchgear, and styling that was…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Weirdest Thing You've Ever Driven?
/
There’s a lot of weird stuff out there. There are cars which are the personal expression of someone’s warped psyche, and there are some that, for some reason, managed to slip through the machinations of the corporate approval process only to be met with a collective WTF? by the buying public. Have you managed to slip behind…

V.I.S.I.T. – Eponymous Edition

Avert your eyes from my pollen-encrusted hood and behold! The mother of all personalized plates: It says what it is. It is what it says.

I Buy My Wranglers With a 94-Inch Waist
/
Here’s a 1980 Jeep Wrangler from eBay with a starting bid of $5,000. Nothing special you might say- sure it’s jacked up, it has some pretty big knobblies, and it’s fire engine red, big deal. Well, it just so happens it is a big deal, and you’ll see why after the jump.

Originally Willys Mexicana, the south-of-the-border Jeep distributor, VAM went on to manufacture their own Ramblers and AMC models in Lerma, Mexico under license.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9fWDtZ3esA[/youtube] Across the Intertubewebs, this fellow’s endeavor’s being labeled as a failure (FAIL, as they say). We say nonsense. When your airbag + tire + car seat adventure gets you 10 feet in the air it’s all win, regardless of how you come down. As far as we’re concerned, it deserves a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner.…

Yesterday afternoon, while out running around, some ass-hat pulled into my lane, while I WAS STILL OCCUPYING IT. I laid on the horn to alert them to their ass-hattery, but that only served to make them apply their horn and come to a complete stop in front of me. Later that night I was driving…
