Speaking of Peter Max: The Dale Earnhardt All Star 2000 Monte Carlo Racecar
/
One of the oddest parings in NASCAR History was the May 2000 All Star Paint Scheme by the 1960’s artist Peter Max for one of the toughest drivers in NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt. I was made aware of this car by a good friend of Hooniverse, smokyburnout. Go here for the history of the car. Source:…

You might recognize the older guys in this photo- that’s Phil Hill on the left, and Dan Gurney on the right. The kid in the middle with the proud look on his face? Well, he would later go on to race for Gurney, and set a number of firsts in auto racing. Willy T Ribbs…

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:…

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.
