Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Last Call; My what a great looking ass……
/
I came back earlier today from a local car show, and I thought I would provide a preview of a posting that I will put up later this week. It was a small show but there was some hidden treasures, like a Chrysler Finned Hardtop Wagon, a Dodge D-500 Hardtop, a six-cylinder Ranchero, A V-8…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Current Racing Series?
/
NASCAR, F1, WRC. . . Speed Channel is pretty full of racing when it’s not showing Pinks or the three hundred hours of Barrett Jackson. Some of the racing can be edge of your seat viewing, while some is like watching traded paint dry. The question is, which one’s the best to get your motor…

12 to Go, Honey: ’57 12 Hours of Sebring…in Color!
/
Pssst! Hey, you! Yeah, the one sitting at the computer! You like racing that turns right as well as left? How about the days when society dictated that men belonged in the garage tinkering with British sports cars and women belonged in the kitchen? Or when defending F1 champions in factory-backed sports prototypes shared the…

State of the Muscle Car, 2010
/
[Ed. Note: This article was written and sent in by Skitter. Thanks!!] My consciousness of pickup trucks begins with the ‘new’ Dodge Ram. The Top Trumps mentality ruled the day, so occasionally I would remove the six-foot poster from the wall and pore over the spec sheets on the back. I would ponder how best…

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…

For the Price of a Lexus ES350, You Could Have This Thing
/
$42 grand. That’s it. $42k For a Toronado-powered five-axle rig with a hydrogen peroxide rocket powered land-speed racer on the back. The scale of the picture’s a little hard to grasp, so we’ll help you out: that cab’s only 5.5 feet tall. This rig’s made appearances at Cars and Coffee, and I’ve actually seen it…

Hooniverse Asks- Should Ford Give the Thunderbird Another Go?
/
Ford has had a lot of storied names in its history. Some seem so faded in memory that it’s difficult to conjure up an image when brought to mind. Can you picture a Pilot? How about the Corsair? Now admittedly those were both Fords not sold in the U.S., but we’ve had our share of…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Eleanor?
/
You all remember Eleanor- the GT500 that vexed Nick Cage so in the mind-numbingly banal Gone in Sixty Seconds remake? While that film had little going for it other than a passel of great cars and Angelina Jolie’s throw-pillow sized lips, it did bring a new term into automotivedom’s lexicon- that of Eleanor, a mythical…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Car Face?
/
Yesterday, Ford lifted the embargo on information about the 2011 Shelby GT500. You can read the details on what’s different in the ’11 car here. One change that’s obvious, and can be seen in the beauty shot above, is the narrowing of the speed stripes that run the length of the Mustang. While the previously…
