Right-Hand Drive Saturn is Only 97.3% as Dull as Left-Hand Drive One!
/
Planning a trip to the British Isles, or perhaps Japan soon? Want to freak out the neighbors, but don’t want to spend a lot doing it? Maybe you do a lot of mailbox drop offs and hate the fact that you can never seem to find a curb-side box that isn’t on the right of…

Lancia Delta Group B Rally Car on Ebay; What Do You Think Its Worth?
/
Another great Tip from The Doctor (Thanks, Man!), who alerted us to a piece of rolling history. This is an actual Group B Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car, from what was probably the greatest chapter in Racing History, the FIA World Rally Championship in 1985 and 1986.

Hooniverse Asks – Would You be Okay With a Six-Pot Corvette?
/
When it was first introduced, back in 1953, the Corvette was powered by the 235.5 c.i.d. Blue Flame high-compression engine, which was a six cylinder. Two years later, Ford, with the release of their Thunderbird two-seater, gave Chevy 312 reasons which the Corvette needed a V8, and that same year t he Bow Tie Brigade…

Pretty Bird! 1964 Falcon Wagon
/
Commenter Muthalovin tipped us to this stylish ’65 Falcon wagon for sale out in Pflugerville, Texas. It sports a 170c.i. straight six and a Ford-O-Matic slushbox, which should be fine for around-town cruising and car show duty, but you’d best avoid any speed competitions (or uphill onramps).

"Seest thou what happens, Laurence, when thou firk’st a stranger ‘twixt the buttocks?!"

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCcKBcZzGdA[/youtube] The tough part about writing a car blog is not including all the other crap we find whilst searching for the prime content you pay so dearly absolutely nothing for. Stretching the inclusion criteria a bit, we can’t help bring you infamous “You see, Larry…” scene from The Big Lebowski. John Goodman smashing a…

Still Life: Forged in Kenosha, Replaced by a Renault
/
Sometimes it’s hard to believe the AMC Spirit was canned in favor of the Renault Alliance. So what if it was a freshened-up Gremlin with an optional 5.0L V8? I mean, just LOOK at it – the Spirit in its natural habitat, surrounded by that endangered species known as American heavy industry. They will always…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: 15 Agonizing Automotive Atrocities, according to Autopia
/
Virtually every car blog seems to have a top ten listing of the worst automobiles ever offered for sale to the public, and the guys over at Autopia took things a little higher, with the top fifteen Agonizing Automotive Atrocities. Some of them have been discussed in the past, while others are rather questionable.

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.

Streetwalking: Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro
/
If you started telling most car guys about the tech specs on these little vans, they’d start salivating — provided, of course, you didn’t tell them what vehicle the specs belonged to. For obvious reasons, these little trucks don’t have the best reputation. But let’s take a closer look.

Rwandan Grand Prix

If you’ve seen the amazing video Where the Hell is Matt?, then you’re already familiar with Matt Harding’s efforts. This video, done in conjunction with the Orphans of Rwanda school in Kigali, Rwanda, is more of his work. Gentlemen, start your imaginary engines!

Just the Good ol' Boys, Jumpin' Over a Tollbooth
/
Since “Dukes of Hazzard” has entered our common lexicon as a verb (“Just Dukes-of-Hazzard it over the curb, bro!”), it should be said that this speeding, drunken idiot – despite imperiling the lives of innocent tollbooth-goers – did successfully Dukes of Hazzard her Impala out of Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport. Impressive, but shameful. Video and…

What's Your Eleanor? – Robber, Graverobber Edition
/
Nick Cage may have been jonesing for a Mustang, but me, I like the cars that could be considered British Mustangs. You know them as Aston Martins. My favorite – and the car that I’d consider to be my Eleanor – is the DB4 GT. See that red Zagato Berlinetta version up there? It belongs to…

LT1-Powered Ferrari 250 – What's Your Take?
/
A few days ago on the ever-awesome Bring A Trailer, they covered the sale of a Ferrari 250GTE (that’s a relatively unloved 2+2 iteration of the 250 model) for a “mere” $38,000. The catch? Gone is the 3.0L v12 and manual transmission, replaced by an LT-1 and 700R4 slushbox.
