Hooniverse Asks- How Would You Change the Mustang?
/
The paint isn’t even dry on the 2011 Mustang, in fact you can’t even buy one of the 305-bhp six-engined cars, nor the new 5.0 V8, and yet we’re still thinking about what the next generation should be like.

2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
/
I want to admit this to you right off the bat; I’ve never been much of a Corvette fan. I always thought the C1s were cool, and the C2s were kind of bad ass but the rest of the lineup does nothing for me. That is until I drove my first Corvette two years ago…

Truckload Sale: Buy A Truckload of Ammo, Keep The Truck?
/
In what may be one of the strangest promotions we’ve ever seen, this one comes from a company named “ArmaLite” which apparently sells the… you know, ammo-stuff for those gun-things that Americans seem so fixated on.

Name That Car
/
Y’all know the drill- fire up those search engines because this one’s harder than week-old Krispy Kremes. Here’s a few hints- • VERY limited production • Not of European descent • The company that provided the engine has since gone out of business. Good luck!

Japanese Combine Molester Vans and Racing to Create Something New!
/
Count on the Japanese to come up with this one. Uber-tipster bzr pointed us towards a new trend in Japan; it’s referred to as “Dajiban”, which is really just a Japanese-ification of “Dodge Van”. Dead serious, that’s what it is. I might have had a little chuckle at the cleverness of that one.

A Conquest For Sale, Tampa Area, Slightly Customized (Yea, Right!)
/
The only thing I have to say is what did this Chrysler Conquest (remember, this is a rebadged Mitsubishi Starion after all) do to deserve this fate. Yes, the body work is questionable, but wait until you see what else has been done to it.

How Fast is Your Watch?
/
Watches and cars have a long, wonderful history together. Iconic automakers such as Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston-Martin, and Mercedes-Benz have teamed up with the best and beautiful from the horological world. As important as those car companies I mentioned, names such as Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Audemars Piguet. The cars are beautiful and…

Let's See That Basement Lamborghini Do This!
/
In mother Russia, Hummers are popular rides for the wealthy, but typically those trucks bring the bling rather than tear up the tundra. One Russian, who was looking for something more Siberian Husky than Moscow Mule, took matters into his own hands and decided to give himself a Hummer. Since he was unbound by the limitations…

The Boxer in the Living Room
/
Holger Schubert has a problem. No, it’s not that some drunk Ferrari owner drove his car into Holger’s house- that 512BBi belongs to him. His problem isn’t finding accessories to go with his home decor, as the place is done up in various shades of white. No, Mr. Schubert has a problem with his neighbors.…

Anachronistic Future Tech: Hammarhead's Electrifying Royal-Enfield Cafe Racer
/
Here’s the recipe: take an ancient British motorcycle design sold to an Indian company, add a fairing, and gut the drivetrain to substitute an electric powerplant. The result is the delicious Hammarhead Volta 102, seasoned with green technology and anachronism. Garnish with 220V and serve very hot.

Kit & Kaboodle- The Fiberfab Jamaican Body Assembly Manual
/
Earlier, Mad Science had a post with a high-desert Fiberfab kit car that could be yours for only a few benjemins. Now, in case you’re presently the high-bidder on that eBay auction – or just wondered what it took to build a kit car in the ’70s – we’ve got the crudely illustrated assembly manual…

Bristol Palin, Your Car Is Ready

Perfect for chasing down meese, this vehicle was tracked down by our beloved bzr. Honestly, we’re not entirely sure what it was that he was searching for when he stumbled upon this, but however it happened, we’re glad he found it.

Stereotypes Ahoy! 1970s Holden Ad Explains Australians
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Ic3RqPIJo[/youtube] Ah, the 1970s. An era of unrepressed malaise, in which the atmosphere of boundless optimism was, itself, optimistic at best. This video, featuring completely irrelevant close-up shots of mammaries in small bikinis, seems to attempt to bring out the patriotism of Australians in spite of the general mediocrity of automobilia available to them, either…

Hooniverse Asks- Could You Have a Decades-Long Relationship With One Car?
/
See that nice lady up there? Her name is Anne Hesler, and according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, she’s owned that car since 1961. That kind of devotion to one set of wheels is rare, and seemingly even frowned upon in our present-day conspicuous consumption-driven economy. But still, Ms. Hesler has managed to be true…
