Superbowl Sunday Ride Special: The Armored Limousine, With a Stripper Pole!
/
So what do the Dallas Cowboys Football Star Terrell Owens, and Reality TV Star (and Sex Tape Vixen) Kim Kardashian have in common? They both chose to use a most unusual Limousine Service, based in the Dallas Metro area, the Armored Limousine Service, Inc.

The Super Bowl MVP gets to drive…
/
Cadillac has supplied the Super Bowls most valuable player with their choice of a free ride for the last eight years. The most recent recipient, Santonio Holmes, went with a Platinum edition Hybrid Escalade. A safe, comfortable, and relatively PC choice, the Escalade Hybrid is also my choice for vehicle I secretly love even though…

It's Stormy in France: LeMans Tempest Could Be Your Daily Driver
/
I’m a big fan of GM’s Y-body platform. Why? In an alternate universe, it could’ve been the progenitor of a line of well engineered mid-size sports cars. With unibody construction, four wheel independent suspension, rear transaxles (or engines!) and a host of peppy small displacement engines, it’s a script GM didn’t had to re-discover relatively…

Represent Your (Not-So) Huge Rimz Wherever You Go with Our New T-Shirts
/
I’m notorious in the _Science household for my impeccably bad timing. Routinely, I’ll offer to help with the dishes just as The Missus puts the last one away. It’s with that same uncanny ability that we bring you two new shirts, just in time to completely miss the holiday consumer spending orgy buying season! We’ve…

Engage Cloaking Devices – BMW & MINI Edition
/
The roads around Southern California are filled with interesting cars. You name a marquee and it’s pretty likely that I have seen an example driving down PCH. Every now and then I spy something out of the ordinary. This morning I caught a BMW and what I am assuming to be a MINI Countryman cruising…

In A Snowbank, No-One Can Hear You Scream: The Hooniversal Polar Expedition, Part III
/
In the previous chapter, we explored all the various forms of training and preparation for a mission to the North Pole that we successfully ignored in favour of drinking nice cups of coffee and strong forms of alcohol. Eventually we realized that our training was never going to be properly completed, and was really just…

Hooniverse Asks- Have You Ever Bought a Car that You Later Regretted Buying?
/
Yesterday we discussed – amid many tears – cars that we let slip and now of which we wish were still in possession. Today we’re looking at the flip side – one that’s much more egregious- Have you ever suffered buyers’ remorse on a car?

May I suggest this 47 year old cheese?
/
Colin Chapman is famous for the idea of “adding lightness”. His Lotus vehicles were quick and nimble sports cars that are still a scintillating topic of discussion for any auto enthusiast. In 1963, Pontiac decided to try their hand at “adding lightness” as well. They punched 120 holes into the frame rails of a Catalina,…

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…
