Hoonivision: 11 Minutes of Alpine A110 Racing is Time Well Spent
/
For some inexplicable reason, seeing a horribly modified, bewinged Accord coupe out my window reminded me of its automotive polar opposite: the tasteful, classic, and dangerously fast Alpine A110. Make the jump to watch a couple of videos of the A110 in action.

Key West loves Hooniverse
/
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.

Last Call- Seatbelts Save Lives? Edition
/
That’s Hans Hermann crouched down there, underneath the flipping car- the flipping car that, until just moments before this photo was taken, he was piloting. The crash, at the 1959 AVUS F1 race, was caused by failure of the brakes on Hermann’s BRM. Amazingly, he walked away from the accident with only minor bumps and…

Missed It: You Could've Been King with this 1961 Dodge Coronet
/
Our campaign to Hooniversize the world is well underway, as evidenced by the actions of our own Mr Schmo. Alas, sometimes we come upon a great potential hoonmobile too late. If nothing else, we can used these Ones That Got Away as examples of what you could’ve bought for the price of a used Camry.…

Do We Even Need a Reason to Post a Brat?
/
No. No, we do not. To appease the skeptics, this is the nicest looking Brat I’ve ever seen at <i>any price</i>, let alone for a mere $2500. It’s got 120k miles, t-tops, jump seats, and AC. Keep in mind, those t-tops are glass pop-up units, arguably the pinnacle of 80s roof engineering. We dig the…

Mini Cooper Selling for $25,000 — That's an Austin, not a BMW Mini
/
Having just spent a great deal of time shopping around for a new Mini Cooper S, I know that $25,000 Canadian is a pretty good price for one in perfect shape with low miles. I also know that many dealerships still list the new BMW-built Minis as Austin Minis instead. What I don’t know is…

Upon seeing this ad on ebay.de, I could only think of one thing. Deartháir stomping up and down, gnashing his teeth and screaming, “But daddy, I want it, NOW!”

OnStar, How May I Help You?
/
“This is OnStar Emergency, have you just been in an accident?” “Yes, I am a vehicle porter for a GM plant and I just crashed this minty-fresh Malibu. I was loading it onto a freight train and I decided to ram the train going 35 mph… what should I do?” “Blame it on Toyota?” Updated!

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Should My Sister-in-Law Buy?
/
My sister-in law needs to get a new car. Well, not a new car, but something different from the ’91 fart-canned Miata that has been her daily driver for nigh-on a decade. That red drop top has developed a nasty overheating problem that will require the removal and probable tanking of the engine block to…

Hooniverse Editorial: The Standard of the World and How to Reinvent Cadillac – Part 2
/
Yesterday, I brought up a question as to the viability of Cadillac in the Post GM Bankruptcy World, and how I thought it was time to move the “Standard of the World” upmarket to compete directly with Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, and even Lexus. It has been done before, and in this edition on How…

If you ask me about my dream car for three succesive weeks, you’ll probably get at least five different answers.…

Georgia On My Mind Edition
/
Founded in 1989, Panoz Auto Development is the brainchild of Dan Panoz. With the help of his father Don, they formed a racing team which builds their own cars and happens to produce a few for the street. One of those models is the Panoz Esperante seen above. I have spied this car running around…

Icelandic Glacier Truck is Built Fjord Tough
/
The story goes that Greenland and Iceland got their names, despite antithetical topographies, because the residents of Iceland wanted to keep out the riff-raff. Although not truly covered with ice, the North Atlantic nation does still possess a number of remnants of the last ice age, including a large number of glaciers. Unlike in Alaska…

/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PthVIL9YHR4[/youtube]The 24 Hours of LeMons and its participants are world nationally renown for not taking themselves too seriously. Then again, is it even possible to take oneself seriously when racing $500-and-under Pick-n-Pull escapees?
