I'd Jump That Shark: '87 M6 for Ten Grand
/
The biggest problem with the current e63/64 six series is that it invites comparison to the handsome, pure sixers of old. The e24 M6 represents a pinnacle of ’80s grand touring class. No, it’s never going to be the cone carving autocross warrior the e30 M3 (another favorite) was known for, but this is the…

I Love California Vanity Plates
/
I love guessing what vanity plates say. It is even more fun in California where plates are allowed to have certain symbols. I once saw a plate that had a symbol of a hand then read LMYBIZ…Handle My Biz. Today after dropping my wife off at work I came upon a new(ish) BMW wagon. A…

Hooniverse Asks- How Small is Too Small?
/
As Americans, we usually like our stuff big. We’re always super-sizing our food, embiggening our big screens, and the boobs, don’t get me started on those. Our cars traditionally reflected this bigger is better mind set, gaining both length and width until our highways resembled an armada of aircraft carriers in the mid-’70s. Fuel price…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Automotive Prank You've Ever Been Party To?
/
You don’t have to be Ashton Kutcher to enjoy seeing someone get Punk’d. In fact, I’d kind of like to give Demi’s boy toy a good punch to the neck just for being a douchebag. But still, everybody admires a well-thought out prank, and I’m sure many of you have either been the perpetrators or…

It’s been raining in California for most of the past week. And not your typical light sprinkles with intermittent patches of cheerful sunniness mixed with a chance of bliss either. No, this has been rain and wind the likes of which we haven’t seen for ages, and that means we all have to try and…

Hooniverse Asks- What Would Be Your Transcontinental Ride of Choice?
/
The days are getting longer, and warmer, and as the trees begin leafing out, I’m beginning to feel a gnawing sense of wanderlust settling in.

…which is three times three. By our count that’s 31 threes. No, it doesn’t make much sense, but it’s the kind of logic you’ll need to rationalize picking up this trio of partial BMW 3.0 CSs. For your money you get three cars and two engines. Two of the cars are red, one’s silver (with…

Well That's Yer Problem Right There! – Headlight Fluid Edition
/
Poor Kristen. All she wanted was an unrealistically low estimate for some front-end damage (probably caused by inattention a la mascara application), so she posted an ad on craigslist for all to see. What she got in return was a healthy dose of Hooniverse-approved BS. That being said, bully for her for not buying it.…
