/
Mee-yow! The San Francisco Craigslist (Where do they get those wonderful toys?) has an uber-rare Jaguar XJ220 for sale, and this is one cat that’ll make you question the whole idea of the your dog being your best friend.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_Mj0IMStU&feature=popt02us0e[/youtube] Winter weather got you down? Go race! In the snow! Everything about this video screams hoontastic from the beater Camaro full of motor to the beater M3…. full of motor. And the fact that there is no douchebag commentary or background music is icing on the cake!

Why the New Chrysler Ads Suck; The Closing of BBDO Detroit in January.
/
Have you noticed that the Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Chrysler ads seem to suck? I mean the Jeep “I Live, I Ride, I Am” and the “My Name is Ram, and my Tank is Full” television spots are truly horrible. I guess this is inevitable since some of the most memorable advertising campaigns originated when…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Eleanor?
/
You all remember Eleanor- the GT500 that vexed Nick Cage so in the mind-numbingly banal Gone in Sixty Seconds remake? While that film had little going for it other than a passel of great cars and Angelina Jolie’s throw-pillow sized lips, it did bring a new term into automotivedom’s lexicon- that of Eleanor, a mythical…

Add Some PAH! To Your Office with DIY Car Seat Office Chairs
/
There’s nothing worse than a crappy office chair. Typically, larger corporations outfit their cube farms with decent units, for fear of picking up workman’s compensation claims over sore backs. Besides, they can buy at incredible bulk discounts. On the other hand, if you’re at a smaller outfit, possibly self-run, you know the pain of choosing…

Dealership Find: Two Innocentis, To Go
/
When you’re car shopping, it’s really quite amazing what you find sitting in showrooms and dealership lots. In this case, we had a pair of Italian beauties that I didn’t even recognize.

SUV Showdown: Infiniti FX50 Vs Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Part 2
/
After hammering the canyons and making short work of the Antelope Valley, we rolled into California City ready for some mischief. For those unfamiliar, California City is a community master-planned back in the late 50s. If you look it up on Google Maps, you’ll see a grid of roads that suggests miles of suburban sprawl.…

Name that engine: the results show
/
In todays Name that engine I gave you nothing but a visual to work with and ended up with a lot of great answers. If you said it belongs to a Lancia Delta S4 then you are a true Hoon of Genius. Congrats to engineerd for correctly guessing it. For your efforts, you win the internetz*…

Caption this: Two Chevy's, one hump edition
/
Since we don’t really have any memes of our own (that I can think of) I’m going to go ahead and coin the term Doin it Chevy-style. Have at it in the comments. Special thanks to CptSevere for the photo.

Cars and Coffee, Montrose, February 20, 2010
/
This week we decided to head north, rather than south and check out the Cars and Coffee going on in Montrose. Being 10 minutes from Chez Mad_Science, rather than 45 to Irvine certainly helps. Last night’s rain meant a lot of would-be attendees went to bed thinking they’d just skip it, only to awake to…

Two-Stroker Ace: ’64 Saab Races through Copenhagen Carnage

Now that we know Saab will live to BORK! BORK! fight another day, we can put the eulogies for our favorite automotive jet spawn away. But who says we have to put away the moving pictures as well?

Showdown: Old Black is the New Black Edition
/
At the risk of being obvious, we’ll go ahead and claim there’s no better color for a car than black. No other shade means serious business like black. Had one of the Stallion Starions from our last Showdown been black, it would’ve been the clear victor. We’re curious how you’ll pull the lever on today’s contestants,…

Rail inspection? Pffhh … Try Minefield Inspection!
/
Forget about crawling around boring railroad tracks … need a vehicle that eats IEDs for breakfast and plays in minefields for fun? Look no further than the Trojan, a Mad Max-esque tractor built from a bucket of main battle tank parts and a healthy dose of aggression.
