Manx!
/
\Spring’s here and it’s time to make the most of it. How better to do that than in the OG Dune Buggy, a Meyers Manx? The seller lists this as a 1960, but Meyers wasn’t selling the kits until ’64, so we’re guessing it’s the Bug that is (was?) the 1960 model. This one looks…

V.I.S.I.T. – So, What does a 90% Restored 1982 Imperial Look Like?
/
Around the same time I spotted a Dodge Ram Van, with a custom Cabriolet Roof Treatment, I spotted another Chrysler offspring in the form of a 1982 Chrysler Imperial. When these came out, they were quite breathtaking, in a weird Malaise sort of way. With a long front end, and a Seville like “Bustle Back”…

The Ideal Hell Bus

Q: Why did Helen Keller’s dog kill itself? A: You would too, if your name was “mmmmrrrrggghhh!” Now that you’ve laughed at this incredibly offensive joke, you’ll be headed straight to hell. And what better way to travel to an eternity of fire and brimstone than in this?

LT1-Powered Ferrari 250 – What's Your Take?
/
A few days ago on the ever-awesome Bring A Trailer, they covered the sale of a Ferrari 250GTE (that’s a relatively unloved 2+2 iteration of the 250 model) for a “mere” $38,000. The catch? Gone is the 3.0L v12 and manual transmission, replaced by an LT-1 and 700R4 slushbox.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
/
[Our beloved Ambersand submitted this some time ago, and due to my own incompetence I somehow missed it, or forgot about it, or lost it. We tried to get it all polished up and ready to run yesterday, but we weren’t quick enough. As such, we’re running it today. Got an article you think we’d…

Hooniverse APB- Stolen 2002tii Needs Hoon's Help
/
Okay, LA-area Hoons- keep an eye out for this bumperless 2002tii. A restoration project, it was stolen yesterday near Beverly and La Cienega in West Los Angeles. The license number is 5KUA195, and it has gold honeycomb wheels. Most of the Latte-suckers in West LA wouldn’t know a 2002 from 90210, so more knowledgeable eyes…

Burnout Win: Dahlbäck Audi SportQuattro Shows How It's Done
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUL6jFvCk8A[/youtube] Okay, this actually doesn’t have a lot to do with a burnout, it’s just generally a video of a very nice SportQuattro showing off, but the clip at the end is a very nice contrast to the epic failure of the Neon earlier. And the soundtrack for this little car is practically music. Nobody…

Hooniverse Asks- What Are Your Car's Audio Choices?
/
I have a buddy – he goes by the name of DamnElantra about these parts – and his car lacks any audio or video accouterments, preferring to pair his driving adventures with the dulcet tones emanating from his Hyundai’s exhaust, rather than from something bought at Crutchfield. Do you share his aversion to mobile electronic…

Launched on March 3rd 1972, the Pioneer 10 spacecraft has the distinction of being the man-made object that has travelled the greatest distance from Earth.
