Classic Cars International, Antique Auto Museum of Utah… part 2
/
Having lived in Utah for 11 years it’s a little sad that I have never heard of this place before now. Sadder yet is the fact that I have visited the industrial cleaning supply store half a block down on at least 3 occasions and FAILED TO NOTICE an effin Studebaker perched on the roof…

Rare Bird: Pontiac Firebird Turbo Trans Am
/
You may recall 3rd Gen F-bodies from such locales as abandoned, weedy lots near the port facility, or that carport next to the double-wides where most of the convicted sex offenders in your city live. However, you almost assuredly don’t remember any 1989 Firebird Trans Ams packing turbo 3800 V6s, do ya?

Suck It, Prius: Citroen LoMax for the Discerning Commuter
/
If When gas gets up to $5.00, if I’m not taking the train I’m gonna be driving something like this. The LoMax is a Citroen 2CV based fiberglass kit car sporting a triplex of wheels. According to the seller it’ll get 57mpg at (slow) freeway speeds, but has no problem keeping up with the fast…

2010 Buick Enclave
/
The luxury crossover segment is filled with bloated road-pigs that feature high price tags and mammoth curb weights. The 2010 Buick Enclave CXL-2 AWD is not an exception here. However, the direct-injection V6 engine under the hood, the refined style outside, and the surprising levels of luxury inside add up to package that allows it…

The Ideal Hell Bus
/
Q: Why did Helen Keller’s dog kill itself? A: You would too, if your name was “mmmmrrrrggghhh!” Now that you’ve laughed at this incredibly offensive joke, you’ll be headed straight to hell. And what better way to travel to an eternity of fire and brimstone than in this?

12 to Go, Honey: ’57 12 Hours of Sebring…in Color!
/
Pssst! Hey, you! Yeah, the one sitting at the computer! You like racing that turns right as well as left? How about the days when society dictated that men belonged in the garage tinkering with British sports cars and women belonged in the kitchen? Or when defending F1 champions in factory-backed sports prototypes shared the…

Nothing to see here, just a 1000-hp armored RV.

Because let’s face it, you’ll never be Batman. Don’t let the inspired ad copy fool you: you can sit in the Corvette-chassis’d 1990s Tim Burton Batmobile all you want, making vroom-vroom noises and generally embarrassing yourself in front of your wife and kids (“it’s ok Sally, Daddy’s having one of his ‘moments’”), but you’ll never…

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…

V.I.S.I.T.: VW Street Buggy
/
[singlepic id=1751 w=720 h=480 float=center] I have a special affection for minimalist vehicles, and as a former VW buggy owner, street buggies hover somewhere near the top of my list. I snapped this rail-framed, amusement-park-on-wheels outside a local pizzeria. I thought this particular “shortback” design was just about perfectly proportioned.

Hooniverse Asks- What Sexy Car Has the Most Un-Sexy Name, And Visa-Versa?
/
That car up there is the Apollo. While debate over its beauty may be valid, there’s no arguing that its performance is sexy, being one of the fastest and more raw-edged super cars on the planet. And then there’s the name – Gumpert. Gumpert isn’t a sexy name, it’s the name of your sweaty typing…

V.I.S.I.T: A Bizarre Lincoln Limo spotted in New York
/
Call me a little lazy, but I just discovered these images on my “Crackberry” that I took when I was at the New York International Auto Show that happened a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it’s a rolling advertisement, with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe to it for the bar called Jekyll and Hyde.

Key West loves Hooniverse

And I am not making that up. Die-hard fan of Hooniverse, Mile Zero Mag sent us a heads up that this photo would be featured today and that perhaps we would like it. Well to be honest, we think it’s awesome.

Everything Else is For Pansies: 'Busa V8 Powered Ariel Atom
/
The problem with most of today’s supercars is that they’re mostly watered down track cars, used as grand tourers. As general-purpose cars they pretty much suck, and while rather impressive as track cars they get schooled by something like this Atom that costs a fraction of the Italian jobs. By the way, this is no…

I Love California Vanity Plates
/
I love guessing what vanity plates say. It is even more fun in California where plates are allowed to have certain symbols. I once saw a plate that had a symbol of a hand then read LMYBIZ…Handle My Biz. Today after dropping my wife off at work I came upon a new(ish) BMW wagon. A…
