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…

Right Hand Drive AMCs Blow Minds (and Fuel Budgets) Across the Pond
/
Our own FTGDHoonEdition was out and about in Essex and stumbled across what have got to be some ridiculously rare AMCs. Hit the jump for his description.

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…

Hooniverse at the New York International Auto Show – Well, Not Really, Kinda, Sorta…..
/
The New York International Auto Show opens this week (Press Days are 3/31 and 4/1) and it will be covered by your truly, except that I will be covering the event primarily for Car Domain. I will try and post regularly for Hooniverse, with my usual slant, and I just might do a Booth Professional…

How Do You Say Blown Intake Manifold Welds in German? Turbo 2002
/
Luckily, there are no welds on this intake manifold. It’s cast aluminum from the factory. That’s right: factory. In case you didn’t know, in ’73 and ’74, BMW sold a turbocharged 2002. Packing 170hp in a fly-weight package sounds like quite the recipe for success. This one claims the double-edged sword of low mileage: only…

Showdown – Ford Battle Wagon Battle
/
In our last Showdown, the Super-Shag Dodge walked away with it by a handy margin. We’re still creeped out. On to more tasteful times… To many, there’s no beating the aesthetics of cars from the 50s. They’ve got large-radius curves, acres of chrome and dashboards that will certainly kill you in a crash with detail…

Don't Let the Boss See You
/
As it’s Friday, and you’re not doing anything important at work anyway, here’s a simple little crossword puzzle for you to waste some time on. The theme is American Muscle, so 4 down isn’t lamborghini. Also, we have to have the puzzle after the jump so it doesn’t grind the main page to a halt.

2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT

Land, it’s what covers the quarter of the Earth not awash in fish effluence. And as only a small percentage of it is paved, a number of off-road, and off-road pretender vehicles have used Land in their names to embellish their sense of purpose. Land Rover, Land Cruiser, Highlander, and, not to be left out,…
