V.I.S.I.T. – Obfuscating the Line Edition
/
Remember that night We I Mitch you forgot that most important of rules, “Beer before liquor, never been sicker”? You wouldn’t, of course… but the results would certainly do their best to impart reminders into your skull the next day. As does this rolling hangover, which is a study of styling memes shaken, blended and…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Car-Derived Porn Name?
/
Buck Nekkid, Dewy Hyman, Jay Leno– porn stars always have stage names that are in some way salacious. But what if they were limited to using only car names to create their sexy sobriquets? If using only the appellations applied to autos, what would be some good porn star names?

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…

You Can't Save Them All
/
I have a voracious ’78 International Scout Terra. Whereas most of my projects can subsist on a regular diet of morsels from the local parts store, this truck has had me sacrifice at least three others just like it to keep it on the road. My garage is my own Little Shop of Horrors, so…

Public Transportation Strikes Back!
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k41RLegIPs&feature=player_embedded#[/youtube] Here in the U.S. it’s been the people who carry and sort our mail that have been branded as most likely to run amok, the results of which end up badly for all in close proximity. In China, that honor may now go to bus drivers if this video is any indication. If that’s…

Legendary Race Cars

There comes a time in the day to put down the Haynes or the Bentley repair guides. There is also a time to close the browser window and step away from the computer (though only for a little bit please). Do you have to fill that time with family? No! You can spend that time…

You Don't Need an Avatar to Have Fun in 3D
/
If there’s one thing I love more than hovercraft, it’s ground-effect aircraft. Why not have both? Shockingly, this crossover contraption is not from Russia, the motherland of strange transportation solutions to questions only a Soviet bureaucrat could have asked (ekranoplan anyone?), it’s from New Zealand. And you thought they were just good for comedic musical…

Oldie But a Goodie: The Hire, aka The BMW Films
/
In 2001, fresh off of two decades of kicking ass, BMW commissioned a series of films featuring its cars and a semi-unheard of British dude named Clive Owen. Years before people outside the WHO could get a job title including the word “viral”, these went viral in a big way. For you young’ns out there,…

1965 Galaxie 500 in Mint Condition — or "Mint Condition"
/
We spotted this lovely Galaxie 500 for sale recently, and it’s a perfect case of an unmotivated seller. From the description, to the price, to the simple fact that reality doesn’t quite seem to tie in with the seller’s description, one can safely assume you’re not going to get a great deal on this car.

Streetwalking: A Fistful of Minis Edition
/
Every year, my current hometown of Camrose, AB hosts an event that puts an interesting spin on your standard-fare car show. I attended for the first time last summer, and I have a huge backlog of photos that I think I should share out, if only as a bit of sunny-weather-and-shiny-objects eye-candy to help us…

Words, there really are none…

At first glance you would think you were dealing with one of those Exalibur things popular among the rich and tasteless back in the 80’s and 90’s. Proof that money and style don’t always go hand-in-hand.
