Lost in a sea of Toronados
/
When I stumbled upon this bizarre Craigslist ad, curiousity got the better of me. You don’t see many Toronados around these days, much less 20-plus. Talk about epic barn find!

We're All Illegal!
/
The coppers in Perth, Australia don’t take kindly to displays of hoonage. In fact, should they catch you hooning in your hoonmobile, they’ll not only slap you with a fine, they’ll lock up your car. As Patrick Nugawela discovered, they’ll even lock up the car when it belongs to someone else.

Release the Sea Hoon!

A Jet Sprint Boat is essentially a fiberglass coffin with a V8 engine and a racing seat. The cockpit has just enough room for a driver, co-driver, and their massive sets of junk. The driver of a Jet Sprint Boat navigates a course as fast as possible. How fast is fast? See for yourself in…

Don't Let this '69 Subaru 360 Slip Through Your Fingers
/
An eBay seller whose screen name seemed familiar has decided to let this Subaru 360 go with no reserve. As of this writing, that means a little over a grand. It runs and drives, but needs attention. The paint’s not bad by our standards, but most would call it crappy. The driver’s side floor has…

The American Muscle/Swarr Auto V6 Mustang Project Car
/
American Muscle and Swarr Auto have teamed up to turn their wrenches on an unlikely project car candidate. A 2005 V6 Mustang has received their attention. I can see the appeal in wanting to turn a V6 into something more exciting. I wish they went a little more on the sleeper side, but the results…

The Rally Fighter and the Local Motors mindset
/
Open source development. A term seemingly more at home in your last IT meeting than in a discussion about car design. However there is a new start-up automotive company that is looking to change that and there name is Local Motors.

Hooniverse Asks- What's a Good Summer Convertible?
/
Now that we’ve mostly made it through the slog of winter, and mud season is upon us, what better time to think about going topless. Some of us may already have a summer convertible (or two), but for those who don’t, how about a little help here? What do you think would be some good…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_Mj0IMStU&feature=popt02us0e[/youtube] Winter weather got you down? Go race! In the snow! Everything about this video screams hoontastic from the beater Camaro full of motor to the beater M3…. full of motor.

The seller of this customized 1962 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia seemed to have acquired it after most of the modifications took place. You will have to make the jump to see the rest of SHAGHIA…..

Last Call- Turtlenecks and VWs Edition

And if you can sell your wife on her ’60s bullet bra being the only “crush space” in the event of an accident, you deserve a 34-second zero to sixty time. Image source: [Reddit]

The AMT Piranha Will Make You Cry U.N.C.L.E.

It starred Robert Vaughn and David McCallum who portrayed two secret agents working for the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. They battled against their enemies who were part of the THRUSH organization, which was developed after the fall of…

Inaccurately Named 1970 Corolla Sprinter Still Runs Great
/
We’re on a bit of a ’70s Japanese iron tin thing today, it seems. Hopefully that’s not a problem. Whenever we see slightly rough, but really cheap vintage imports, this is the end result we have in mind. It’s low, but not too low. The wheels are just right. The interior’s clean, with racing buckets.…

Awesomeness… Now in Model Form.
/
Earlier this year we presented the wonderful work of Michael Paul Smith. His pieces are elaborate and amazing. They are also incredibly clean. What if you are a car nut who is more attracted to greasy grime and rust instead of gleaming chrome and polish? Well get ready to be astounded…again. May I present to…

Suzuki VS800
/
[Ed. note: Tanshanomi brings us another story for Two-Wheel Tuesdays. Do Japanese cruisers fit your fancy?] The VS800 Intruder/S50 has been around for just shy of a quarter of a century. Over that time, it went through several iterations and wore various names, but all of them are remarkably similar. Nowadays, it’s definitely a throwback…
