Represent Your (Not-So) Huge Rimz Wherever You Go with Our New T-Shirts
/
I’m notorious in the _Science household for my impeccably bad timing. Routinely, I’ll offer to help with the dishes just as The Missus puts the last one away. It’s with that same uncanny ability that we bring you two new shirts, just in time to completely miss the holiday consumer spending orgy buying season! We’ve…

UNICAT: Unholy Spawn of RV, Dakar Truck, and Ghengis Khan
/
Road trips are fun, but there’s hardly any adventure in the typical one (unless you count digestive issues caused by roadside diners). UNICAT offers a solution – leave seeing the world’s largest fizzy denture cleaner to Aunt Marie and try your hand at something fun. Say, the La Paz-Yungas Road in Bolivia?

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.…

Hooniverse APB- Stolen 2002tii Needs Hoon's Help
/
Okay, LA-area Hoons- keep an eye out for this bumperless 2002tii. A restoration project, it was stolen yesterday near Beverly and La Cienega in West Los Angeles. The license number is 5KUA195, and it has gold honeycomb wheels. Most of the Latte-suckers in West LA wouldn’t know a 2002 from 90210, so more knowledgeable eyes…

Last Call- X-Box 360 Be Damned Edition
/
With a steering wheel slightly larger than that of a Lotus Seven, and a build quality rivaling the dashboards of most GM products of the ’80s, the Tomy Turnin’ Turbo Dashboard taught thousands of tweens just how much fun blinking idiot lights could be. Never, in the history of toys, had 4 D-cells been put…

Does Being an A-hole Qualify?
/
See Dick drive. Drive Dick, drive. See Dick park. See Dick park in a handicapped walkway. No Dick, no! See Jane see Dick park. See Jane become morally outraged at Dick’s arrogance. See Jane let the air out of Dick’s tires. What’s that you say? No, I didn’t see Jane do that either. Flat Dick,…

Hatchback Utility, V8 Power, Horrible Build Quality: V8 Chevy Monza
/
Due to when I was born, when I think of crappy GM products, I think early 90s Cavaliers or Luminas; mostly vehicles that were crappy due to boringness or what they could’ve and should’ve been. By the time I was on the road, there were few truly defective cars to be had. I’m told GM’s…

V.I.S.I.T. – Spawn of Scottish Militant Left-wing Shipbuilders Edition
/
I’ve written about the troubled but awesome Imp before, but I’ve never seen one off the track (where they’re less troubled and more awesome, generally speaking). And then this little bastard comes into view, parked in my new mecca for automotive randomness, Ballard.

Lewis Hamilton … is a dickhead
/
Let me clarify that, Lewis Hamilton is a dickhead according to Australian Roads Minister Tim Pallas. This comes after Hamilton had his car impounded for doing burnouts last week. Australia has very strong anti-hoon laws and the state government recently launched a “Don’t Be a Dickhead” campaign. The name is hilariously awful, but it seems…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Race Car?
/
Okay, we’ve done motors, drivers and tracks. But one thing has been missing- that single element that brings all those parts together to create an exciting motorsport event, and not just a bunch of guys (and the occasional girl) trying to drag an engine around. Race cars get our blood going. They are the ultimate…
