Showdown: 3-Way 70s Forced Induction Import Battle
/
In our last Showdown, the Country Sedan stomped all over the Chevy Panel Wagon. Some accused me of stacking the deck in favor of a Ford like my own, but I don’t set the prices. I just picked two examples in the same price range. Anyway, onward… We’re mixing things up today with a trio…

If your hooning extends to two-wheel vehicles with pedals, choosing a contrasting seat color can mean the difference between an enjoyable ride, and getting stopped by the cops for cruising past that elementary school. Image source: [reddit]

Hooniverse Asks- What Automotive Accessory Do You Wish Was Still Around?
/
Brodie knobs (or necker’s knobs to you lotharios), those little sandbag ashtrays, nodding-head chihuahua dogs for the parcel shelf – like the conestoga wagon, these, and many more automotive accruements seem no longer in fashion, or obsolete. But that doesn’t mean we can’t pine for them.

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,…

Ten hours, four states, and one foolproof plan: How I learned stop worrying and love the motorcycle
/
[Part 2 in a series. Read Part 1 here!] I obviously wouldn’t be riding the Honda almost halfway across the country, as I was too much of a wuss to even take it around the block. “Want to take it for a ride?” Don had suggested in a hopeful tone. I took a look at…

Hunter S. Thompson And The Song Of The Sausage Creature
/
It’s just as important to keep close tabs on the past of the automotive fringe as it is to chase the new limit of strange. Nobody set up camp more firmly on the borderlands of vehicular oddity than our beloved Hunter S. Thompson. We bring you his “Song Of The Sausage Creature”, uncut in full…

Please Please Please Let it Stay Under $500
/
Typically cars make their way to LeMons in one of a few ways: luxury maintenance costs/depreciation, cheap econoboxes that were cheap to start with, horrible rust/flood damage, or just being a total turd to begin with. Massive collision damage typically renders them undrivable. Not so in this case. The 302c.i. powered ’67 Mustang runs and…

Hooniverse Asks – What's the Best Hoon's Station Wagon?
/
Whether it’s because we grew up with them, or that we just like the combination of utility and hoonability that the platform affords, but station wagons hold a special place in the hearts of many a hoon. You may be jonesing for a big, old American sled that oozes down the road and gives you…

Vette On A Wire
/
Yesterday, while we were all doing important things like snarking about cars on the Internet, other people were actually out driving them. One such person was rocking his C6 Vette down Warner Avenue in the OC’s Fountain Valley when wham-bam eggs and ham; he’s got a telephone pole G-string.

eBay Find of the Day- Porsche 917 Throttle Bodies

More rare than unicorn snot and civil political discourse are these aluminum castings that are claimed to be off of the flat twelve that powered Porsche’s insane 917 racer. The seller says they’ll also fit the 935, in case you’ve got one of those in your garage instead. It’s not often that you come across…

V.I.S.I.T – Can this really be a 20 year old car, and is it worth the asking price?
/
Continuing with the cars that are for sale at a local car show I went to over the weekend, I came across this beauty that could have been on the “Certified Pre-Owned” section of a New Car Dealership. I can’t believe that this car is 20 years old, but to see it, you have to…
