OMGWTFBBQ VAN!
/
It’s widely recognized that forward control vans tie Camaros with T-Tops in their bitchin-ness. At times, the combination of an enclosed interior and smoke work to your advantage, but once those munchies take hold, wouldn’t it be great if you could grill your wings from inside the comfort of your vehicle? Our seller’s decided to…

Caption this: Two Chevy's, one hump edition
/
Since we don’t really have any memes of our own (that I can think of) I’m going to go ahead and coin the term Doin it Chevy-style. Have at it in the comments. Special thanks to CptSevere for the photo.

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Cheap Performance Mod?
/
We’d all like a little more go in our cars, but a lot of modifications can be wallet-draining exercises. Forced induction, re-calibrated ECM chips and suspension upgrades all cost a king’s ransom. So, what’s a hoon on a budget to do?

Hooniverse Asks – What's the Strangest Towing Setup You've Ever Seen?
/
My summers are typically spent traveling around the lower 48 states by car and I have the luck of being passenger/navigator/snack distributor about 75% of the time. The travel is mostly car related so I’m always in an automotive state of mind, scanning the lanes of traffic for something unique/interesting/insane to pass the time. I…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Indy Pace Cars from 1950 – 1959
/
In observance of the annual Indianapolis 500 Race that took place over the weekend (and was historically run on Memorial Day) I thought I would dive into a pictorial history of the cars that paced this once great race, starting in 1950, and run by decade all the way up to 2010. Let’s start with…

Hooniverse Asks- What Do You Want to See Spyker Do With Saab?
/
Spyker’s motto is “Nulla tenaci invia est via”, or “No road is impassable for he who perseveres,” and they managed to overcome Russian investors, brusque GM lawyers and their own financial instability to apparently come out the winner (using that term loosely) in the contest for the gold ring that is Saab.

Last Call- Why Your Bicycle Seat Color Matters Edition
/
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]

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…

Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions Part 6: Horsepower and Torque, I Do Not Think it Means What You Think it Means
/
Imagine a pile of art critics debating the merits of a given painting without knowing the difference between blue and red. Imagine judges at a dog show not knowing their labradors from their spaniels. Silly, right? Yet you’ll find an infinitude of vitriol spilled over why only idiots would prefer low-end torque or high-end horsepower…

Trucks that Rock: The DAF-Based Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio
/
The year was 1968. The Rolling Stones were making hits, taking psychotropics by the British stone, and generally saturating themselves with the full-on excesses that subsequent rock bands have come to know and love. And so it’s not surprising that in the midst of all this, the thought of a 9-5 slog in a regular…

Hooniverse Asks- How'd You Become a Car Nut?
/
You all visit this site for a reason, and it’s not for the chance of catching a glimpse of Dearthair naked, not that I’m saying that won’t happen. No, you come he because of a shared love of all things automotive and greasy. Whether you like to poke around under the hood and get grease…

Hooniverse Asks- What is your most embarrassing oops?
/
Having been a licensed driver for almost 20 years I can proudly say my oopsies are few and far between. I have never been in any sort of serious accident, minor fender-benders notwithstanding. In that time I have only had 3 (I think) speeding tickets, the most recent being in ’98. Don’t get me wrong,…

Name that engine: IPT edition
/
Unlike Deartháir and his convoluted and somewhat demented “name that engine/part/countertop” I am not giving anything away. Just don’t stare at it too long. And see your doctor if you have IPT lasting for more than 4 hours.
