'65 Oil-burning Heckflosse Begs for Salvation
/
Few Silver Arrows tug at my heart strings with such ardor as the noble Fintail. I’ll even be so bold as to say I would gladly pass up a 300 SL for my very own Heckflosse. Where as the owner of a gaudy gullwing fears every door ding and stone chip, the big sedans stare…

/
As you may or may not know, I have been somewhat absent here at Hooniverse because I have been in a five way brawl trying to capture the Head Writers Position at (Redacted). So while trolling around for some newsworthy items from around the web, I came across this little gem from a site I…

Revlimiter.net's Amazing Custom DIY Gauge Faces
/
A friend of Hooniverse passed this along to us, and it was too good not to share with the masses. The tutorial is for a Miata but with some modification it will probably work for any gauge cluster you can throw at it. But it’s not for the faint of heart … are you up…

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.

Hooniverse Asks- What Automotive Accessory Do You Wish Was Still Around?
/
Brodie knobs (or necker’s knobs to you lotharios), those little sandbag ashtrays, nodding-head chihuahua dogs for the parcel shelf – like the conestoga wagon, these, and many more automotive accruements seem no longer in fashion, or obsolete. But that doesn’t mean we can’t pine for them.

Metacars Invades Craigslist with Parody Civic Ad?
/
The great XKCD once challenged readers to write a youtube comment so dumb people would know it must be fake. It’s nearly impossible. Such is the case with Craigslist ads for super JDM ricemobiles. Mr Howser sent this in, and we’re pretty sure it’s a spoof…but then again, it we’ve seen stranger ads on the…

Electric Corvair Drains Batteries, Wallet; Blows Fuses, Minds

We were about ready to feature this drop-top Corvair because it was just so freaking gorgeous. The four speed and 4.11:1 posi rearend complement a spruced up suspension and front disc brakes. Then there’s the small matter of the stonking 144 volt electric motor powered by 18 8 volt batteries…

Last Call- RTD Bus Edition
/
Few people realize that the Type 2 VW Bus had a one and a half ton load capacity. Of course, the original 43-hp wheezer made that a challenge, an issue this mid-mounted V8 with double quads shouldn’t have at all. Image source: [gtotiger68 via Flickr]

And I am not making that up. Die-hard fan of Hooniverse, Mile Zero Mag sent us a heads up that this photo would be featured today and that perhaps we would like it. Well to be honest, we think it’s awesome.
