Rt. 11 U-Pull, Northeastern PA's Newest Junkyard
/
Driving along Route 11 through Northeastern PA, you don’t expect to see what I’ve drooled over seen every weekend for the past nine years. Tier after tier of mostly German cars nestled between the trees, stacked on top of each other, all grouped together (mostly by type) as far up the side of the mountain…

Speed Reads- How to Restore Your Collector Car 2nd Edition
/
If you’re looking to restore or repair your collector car, it would sure be nice if the project came with an instruction manual. Sure, there are plenty of Haynes manuals and Bentley books to guide you through the travails of the mechanicals, but what about the rest of the car- the body, soft-bits and trim?…

Hooniverse Editorial: The Standard of the World and How to Reinvent Cadillac – Part 3
/
This is an ongoing series in which I examine Cadillac, and try and think about how Cadillac can successfully go upmarket. We looked at one of the most opulent Cadillacs ever, the V-16. Now let’s take a look at a truly outlandish Cadillac, offered between 1957 and 1960, the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham.

Last Call- How's Your Commute Again? Edition
/
In Colombia, when you live on one side of the Rio Negro river, and your school is on the other, it’s not soccer moms in SUVs delivering the kids to class, it’s a tarzan-besting quarter-mile long zip line that whisks them there at over 40 mph. While not one of the three Rs, hooning is…

Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The 1964 Chevy Super Nova Show Car
/
This is an interesting piece I did recently for Chevy Enthusiast Magazine on a little known show car that made its debut in the Spring of 1964. However, this was also the time in which the wildly successful Ford Mustang made its debut, making this show car virtually obsolete overnight. Was it a case of…

Some Random Engine Photography To Help You Start Your Weekend
/
We have a weakness here at Hooniverse for British sports cars. And British convertibles. Oh, and British sport-utes. And British humour. Oh, and sexy British women. Courtesy of our good friend Syrax comes a random photograph that should get everyone here tingly in their naughty bits. This is the engine from the new 2010 Land…

Manx!
/
\Spring’s here and it’s time to make the most of it. How better to do that than in the OG Dune Buggy, a Meyers Manx? The seller lists this as a 1960, but Meyers wasn’t selling the kits until ’64, so we’re guessing it’s the Bug that is (was?) the 1960 model. This one looks…

Mini-Trucks: A Supporting Argument
/
In honour of yesterday’s question about mini-trucks (I know, I couldn’t get this article published in time yesterday), I think it’s only fair that I submit a little bit of research I’ve been doing on my own in the last little while. I submit, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that there is indeed a…

/
Friend of Hooniverse Rob Krider, in a Shelby Mustang GT, goes up against a typical forum douche some dude in a 350Z. The video is available at The Forum Wars. The clip is long enough to be entertaining but short enough where you can watch it at your desk at work without attracting attention from The…

State of the Muscle Car, 2010
/
[Ed. Note: This article was written and sent in by Skitter. Thanks!!] My consciousness of pickup trucks begins with the ‘new’ Dodge Ram. The Top Trumps mentality ruled the day, so occasionally I would remove the six-foot poster from the wall and pore over the spec sheets on the back. I would ponder how best…
