Hooniverse Asks- How Screwed is Toyota?
/
Toyota, this morning, announced their planned fix for the sticky accelerator pedals that have plagued half their model line- an inanimate carbon rod! But, while that may keep Keanau Reeves and Sandra Bullock from making Speed III – The Avalon Goes On and On, does it make you feel any better about Toyota’s cars and…

Norman Bates Drives a Manta Montage?

If you happen to have a Manta Montage kit car, but the lack of ventilation makes driving with the windows in place untenable, how would you keep the thieves out of it?

Warning: No Lifeguard on Duty
/
Some car washes offer brushless cleaning, others tout “hand wash” but if you really want your Mazda to be summer fresh, nothing beats a full immersion in the clorine-rich waters of an apartment house swimming pool. That’s perhaps what the driver of this hatchback 3 thought as he knocked down the fence and bellyflopped into…

World's Easiest Car Quiz
/
The blog autoinsurance.org has a little Name That Car quiz that’ll give you a few minutes of joy out of the humdrum that is your day. It’s pretty easy, and I was able to get 100% right without having to go past the first clue. Of course, that’s just me, and I’m, well…me. If you…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: What is it with lifted Sportscars in Massachusetts?
/
Being a native New Englander, I am never surprised by what comes out of the most uptight part of the country. Yes, I call this the land of the Cranky Yankee, yet there are some glimpses of people who have escaped the Hoon Asylum. Here are two examples that were found on Craigslist, thanks to…

Another Cars & Coffee
/
You’ve seen lots of posts from the Cars & Coffee event that occurs every Saturday morning in the former Ford PAG parking lot in Irvine. Lesser known, but with just as fantastic an attendance is the Montrose CA C&C. I talked my Father in Law (all you car nuts should be so lucky as to…

ROLL CALL! Did everyone make it safely into the new decade?
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9765TUiJKls[/youtube] Another year (and decade) has managed to slip through my fingers rather uneventfully. And by uneventfully I mean I didn’t end up dead or worried about dropping the soap. I came. I saw. I fell asleep on the couch on New Year’s Eve and woke up some 3 hours later in a new decade. Personally,…

What's Your Eleanor? – Jo Schmo edition
/
My Eleanor is the one that got away. It’s the one I didn’t even know I wanted until I couldn’t have it. It’s a 1969 Datsun 510 wagon. It’s that stupid little white hoonwagon that I now have an unhealthy obsession for.

Last Call- Favorite Son. . . NOT Edition
/
From the culprit’s son’s Flickr posting: This was my mom’s 289 Cobra. The brakes faded while racing at Willow Springs and ran off the race into a small ditch. The sad story was that is was sold as is thus it wasn’t handed down to me! She was the #1 California Women’s State Champion (3rd…

At the Intersection of Awesome and Buick: Ecurie Ecosse's Tojeiro-Buick
/
“It was the first occasion I realised just how good Jackie Stewart was. On our first lap he accelerated hard out of the last corner on to the main straight and the Tojeiro was hitting close on 140 mph when we hit the bump which was right on the start and finish line. There was…

Jeep is showing off their all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. How are they doing it? With a new ad campaign and tagline. “The things we make…make us.” I have to say, that is pretty damn good. Hop the jump for the clip and share your thoughts on the redesigned Grand Papi of the Jeep family.…

Is the BMW Six Series the Best Sports Beater Ever?
/
Tempting as it may be, we promise we won’t let the site devolve into a pre-1989 BMW fansite (although…it appears fuckyeahpre1989BMWs.tumblr.com is available), but we need you to bear with us on this one. This was originally going to be a post about a certain pair of 6-ers: one shell with no drivetrain and another…

Last Call – Life Imitates Art Edition
/
They say art – even drug-induced, stylistically interpreted or simply great art – is an imitation of life. But every once in a while you find art that’s no more deliberate than the whims of everyday happenstance. Such as this early ’50’s Studebaker Starlite: the same today as it was when this picture was taken last fall,…

1971 Citroën Décapotable – Yes, its very French, so its very Hooniversalustworthy!
/
As you may or may not know, I have been somewhat absent here at Hooniverse because I have been in a five way brawl trying to capture the Head Writers Position at (Redacted). So while trolling around for some newsworthy items from around the web, I came across this little gem from a site I…
