What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Lion-Drawn Cart (and other Alternate Energy Vehicles)
/
You know what the problem with Power Wheels and Go Karts is? Too predictable. How are we to raise our hoonlets properly when their vehicles run reliably (or reasonably reliably in the case of a kart) and go right where they point them? No. Far, far too easy. What they need are carts drawn by…

Of all the minuscule British racers with awesome names (Clan Crusader, anyone?), I happen to think that the Deep Sanderson 301 has the field beat on absurdity alone.

Streetwalker- Slow as Molasses Edition
/
There are few certainties in life. Oh, of course there’s death and taxes- those are a given, but another immutable is that of the durability of the Mercedes OM616 diesel motor.

Four Carbs, Four Doors, Four on the Floor … Corvair Monza 140 is GO!

Sedans are funny creatures. Some sedans make this hoon swoon … a mid-sixties Continental with the right paintwork would make me hop in the back with Morpheus any day. Domestic sedans got tricky once the fuselage styling thing got going (1974 Dodge Monaco, anyone?), but apparently GM’s abacus-wielding stylists didn’t muck up the second generation…

A Faded Patina of Intrigue

Few tragedies are as poignant as those of storied lives meeting undignified ends.

Hooniverse Asks- How Do You Dress Your Car?

Some people announce just how big their family is on the back of there cars. To me, that’s making it a little too easy for the Pedo Bears to do their shopping. Other folks like to demonstrate their derision for a competing brand by having Calvin, of Calvin and Hobbes fame, engage in water sports…
