The Creepy, Creepy Mascots Of NAIAS
/
There were dancing girls, oh yes. There was an overabundance of techno and flashing lights. All of these are meant to leave an impression on you; to leave you going, “Wow!” and leave glitzy thoughts within your head. All of that stuff falls off towards the pale in the wake of this year’s new hotness:…

El Camino Royal Knight Edition: Hot Vinyl Gryphon Action
/
There was a brief but luminous period when huge faux-heraldic appliques were the ne plus ultra of Detroit chic. Remember the “poulet criard” that graced the hood of the Trans Am? Then there was the Royal Knight …

The Detroit Auto Show; What are the highlights thus far?
/
Since Andy Didorosi has already finished a post on the Auto Show (Thanks Andy) I just thought I would do a quick post on what we (UDman and engineerd) think are the highlights of the NAIAS so far. Here is Dustin shooting a video for Streetfire.net (and having a great time, by the way).

Reports From The Field: The Detroit Auto Show 2010
/
Hi Hooniverse, I’m Andy. I’ve done some motor blogging, pushed a weird little green car across the country 8 times this summer to the tune of 45k miles, and I’ve started a terrible racing series that my friends and I enjoy quite a lot. But put all that aside, because today we’ve got a show!…

Van Wildest: TH Automobile’s TH2RS is 86,000 Kinds of Bonkers
/
There’s just something about stupid-fast peoplemovers that gets the hoon’s blood pumping and tongue wagging. Why else would people drag race Caravan turbos? Or a buff book set out to build the Mazdaspeed 5 the folks in Hiroshima won’t? (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t go particularly smoothly.) But those and every other example of box-on-wheels buffoonery…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Worst Car Your Family Has Ever Owned?
/
Parents, we can’t control them. And unless you were brought up by the Shelbys or the Earhardts, it’s pretty likely that at some point your family owned a car that you nicknamed something like the dump truck for how quickly a date would go south when you arrived in it.

The Hooniverse Version of Disneyland
/
On a quiet side street in Van Nuys, California there sits a relatively unassuming house. Driving by you might see an unusual car or two parked in the u-shaped driveway, but nothing that would make you hit the brakes. What you wouldn’t see however, is that the side of the house leads back into an…

Bugatti Pulled From Swiss Lake Goes on the Auction Block
/
A couple of months back, there was a story on Wrecked Exotics about a Texas man who drove his Bugatti Veyron into a lake. After seeing this 1925 Type 22 being pulled out of a Swiss lake all I can say is- copy cat.

Smokin' Hot Italian Seeks Marriage to Stay in the States

Nicolas Sarkozy did it, and now so can you. Offered up on the Manhattan Craigslist is a not-for-U.S.-consumption Alfa Romeo 166. The 166 is Alfa’s big sedan, having replaced the 164 – which was sold here – in 1998. Powered by Alfa’s sweet, sweet 225-bhp 3.0-litre V6, this 2003 edition is knocking on your door…

Classic Cars International, Antique Auto Museum of Utah… part 2
/
Having lived in Utah for 11 years it’s a little sad that I have never heard of this place before now. Sadder yet is the fact that I have visited the industrial cleaning supply store half a block down on at least 3 occasions and FAILED TO NOTICE an effin Studebaker perched on the roof…

Nothing You've Accomplished is as Cool as This: Crawler Town
/
Ahem: Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation…

Hooniverse Posting Guidelines
/
Content: In general, we try to lean to the positive side of things. DUIs, people dying, etc, not so much. When it comes to vehicular abominations (that purple thing from the other day), they’re fair game, but you can’t just do a big cranky rant. Get creative…the general goal is to be a nexus of…

Holy Crap; Now that's what I call a Big Pickup!
/
The years between 2003 and 2008 were known for a lot of things, but will most likely be remembered as the era of extravagance. Everything had to be big: movies that routinely grossed over $100 million, homes that had bathrooms bigger than most houses of the 60’s, celebrity salaries that outpaced the gross national product…
