Corre! Viene El Diablo! 350-Powered 914 Will Eat Your Soul
/
The 914 is widely regarded as the best handling sports car no one loved. As always, Ate Up With Motor has a great writeup, for those interested. Getting back to something more Hooniverse flavored, this car (“El Diablo”) throws all that handling balance and subtlety out the window in favor of more cubes. Specifically 350…

Comet Cyclone: Scariest Meteorological Event Imaginable or Sweet Mini-Muscle Find?
/
Seriously, a swirling storm of large balls of ice and rock would be pretty scary. Luckily, this here ’65 Mercury is only frightening if we’re talking about stock handling or braking. For those unaware, the Comet was Mercury’s Falcon platform-mate from a time when the brands’ offerings differed by more than grills and badges. Compared…

Hi, I'm a 510 and I hoon

I spent Saturday out at Miller Motorsports Park with a dear friend, walking through the parking lot pit area and watching Porsches from all walks of life race. More on that later, as there was one car in particular that caught my eye…

Ten hours, four states, and one foolproof plan: how I learned to stop worrying and love the motorcycle – Part One
/
[Ed. Note: BZR spins a fanciful tale about his purchase of his two-wheeled Eleanor. You can read more of his work at The Smoking Tire.] The motorcycle looked just like it had in the small, blurry photos from the eBay listing.

Hooniverse Asks- Do You Ever Go Cruising?
/
The move American Graffiti paid tribute to an era when gas was cheap, cars didn’t need to go fast to keep from overheating, and most teenage interaction occurred over the rolled-down windows of hopped up hot rods and family sedans -lent by dad only for the Friday night post football game trip to the malt…

Craigslist Noir
/
Some things look better in black and white- crime dramas in which the women are referred to as “dames,” Ansel Adams prints, and, according to this seller, Bertone X1/9s.

Hooniverse Asks- Do You Really Care How Many Cylinders Your Car Has?
/
Yesterday I asked if you would be open to the thought of a V6 engine in a Corvette, as an ancillary model. Some responded no effing way, and condemned me as anti-American. Others said, sure, as long as the engine and the car adhere to the expected performance and feel of a real Vette. The…

What to do With a Ferrari 250GTE Roller?
/
Typically when we see a ride this rough, it’s an $800 Falcon and we scheme about swaps of revvy 289s or stealing a new 5.0L and showing the Nova guys what’s what. But what to do with a classy GT like this? The GTE (that’s a 2+2, by the way) is sort of the red…

One Of The Coolest Delivery Fleets Around
/
The esteemed Showdown: Stout vs. Stout Edition reminded me of a site I had stumbled on, no not StumbledOn, but one I came across a while back and I thought this might be a good time to share it with my fellow Hoons out in Hooniverse.

Hooniverse Asks – What's a "True" Porsche?
/
For some aficionados of the brand, Porsche stopped building real cars when the last 356 rolled off the assembly line. Others discount anything with a radiator. What do you think, do Porsches have to emulate the layout of the pre-war People’s Car in order to be accepted as righteous?
