V.I.S.I.T. – So, What does a 90% Restored 1982 Imperial Look Like?
/
Around the same time I spotted a Dodge Ram Van, with a custom Cabriolet Roof Treatment, I spotted another Chrysler offspring in the form of a 1982 Chrysler Imperial. When these came out, they were quite breathtaking, in a weird Malaise sort of way. With a long front end, and a Seville like “Bustle Back”…

Hooniverse Asks- Who's Your Favorite Race Driver?
/
They say that racers are wired differently, that they have faster mental reflexes and an innate sense of hubris. That being said, we all have our favorites, whether it’s from NASCAR, Formula One, WRC or another tire turning competition.

Hooniverse Asks- What Would Your Car's Theme Song Be?
/
Usually when we get into our cars the radio is on, already set to a favorite music station, or one streaming out the constant drone of news and traffic. That kind of background noise pervades our relationships with our daily drivers, but when thinking about that ride, what song plays in your head?

Respect to The Crown: 1969 Toyota Corona Reigns Supreme
/
From the Nyanyanyanyanya, Cars Don’t Rust in California Department comes this incredibly clean ’69 Corona. The 3R motor only puts out about 50 horsepower, but at least you get to put it down through a 4 speed manual. The stance has been lowered just a little via careful (or not) application of a torch to…

V.I.S.I.T. – The Dodge that's worth taking a second look!
/
This is my first V.I.S.I.T. posting for Hooniverse, and I have been saving up this gem for quite a while. Since this category is suppose to be “Vehicles I Saw In Traffic”, I’m going to rename it for my purposes as “Vehicles I Spotted (while) In Transit!”, because this jewel was not in any traffic…

Some people let their kids take hand-held video games on trips – Nintendo DS, PSP, etc. But if you’re really trying for parent of the year, this 5-screen X-Box on wheels will definitely stack the odds in your favor.

Vintage Rail Inspection Cars: We Have A New Favourite Option for Long Distance Travel
/
Our good friend lilwillie sent in these awesome photos of vintage rail inspection cars. He suspected, as do I, that these might be popular with the Hoons. All I can think is that these vehicles seem to embody the spirit of the Hooniverse pretty darn well.

Audi R8 Spyder vs. the Beasts: who are YOU rooting for?

The creatively-titled British marketing magazine, uh, Marketing Magazine described this ad, entitled “Beauty and the Beasts,” as “a series of unattractive cars driving chaotically.”

Hooniverse Asks- What Car is Your Guilty Pleasure?
/
Is there a car, or maybe it’s a truck, that you secretly lust for, despite your own better judgement, and those of others? You know, you’re a car-guy (even if you’re a girl- let’s not get our panties in a bunch over semantics here) and you know that you should love all-things Ferrari, and should…

Roadside Discoveries: Nickwackett Garage, a Vintage British Bike Shop.
/
On Vermont Route 7 just north of the village of Pittsford there’s a small building with an old sign denoting the Nickwackett Garage, what appears to be a bike shop out of the ’50s. While another sign out front advertises repairs for Triumph, BMW, BSA, Norton, what caught my attention, a 1938 Supercharged Graham Sedan…

The Early Rodders, May 22, 2010
/
Huh? Don’t you mean Cars and Coffee Montrose? Yes and no. Cars and Coffee is a specific organization that’s responsible for a number of early-morning informal car shows around the county. Just not this one. The event that takes place at the United Artists Theater parking lot in what could either be called La Cañada…

A Lamborghini Sport-Ute? Let's Talk About This
/
Okay, I’m no big fan of Sport Utes. I don’t particularly like them in any variety, even though I do have an unexplainable desire for a Volvo XC90. So my first reaction to these conceptual renderings was very likely the same as yours: “Kill It With Fire”. But hold on there, Sparky. Let’s talk about…
