2010 Bentley Continental GTC Speed

Every one of us has driven a car that, for one reason or another, is significant for any given reason. Be it the oldest or the newest, slowest or the fastest, or any other number of titles we apply to a given vehicle. I had a 1987 Honda Prelude that was my first vehicle. The…

2010 RAM 1500
/
Sometimes it feels good to get off the ground and survey the world around you. I have driven a number of cars for Hooniverse.com and most fall into either the sporty or luxurious categories, with some toeing the line of both worlds. I enjoy the power and the amenities found within those vehicles. The Dodge RAM…

Last Call- Digital Juvenalia Edition
/
Admit it, when you first got your digital calculator you typed in 58008 and turned it upside down, making you the coolest kid in 7th grade math class. Fortunately, while some of us are getting older, a few refuse to grow up, meaning that rare opportunities like this get documented rather than ignored. Go boobs,…

Last Call- St Patrick's Day Edition
/
The Beebe & Mulligan Fighting Irish dragster team was one of the most potent of the late 1960s. John “The Zookeeper” Mulligan’s untimely death of heart failure following a fiery 171-mph crash in September 1969, ended his 7-year partnership with fellow Garden Grove resident Time Beebe, and left the So Cal drag community stunned. You…

The city of Pasadena CA is alternately referred to as the Crown City and the Rose City. This past Sunday, Pasadena’s main drag in old town was overrun with what many consider automobiledom’s crowning achievements, and most of them were rose-colored.

Metacars Invades Craigslist with Parody Civic Ad?
/
The great XKCD once challenged readers to write a youtube comment so dumb people would know it must be fake. It’s nearly impossible. Such is the case with Craigslist ads for super JDM ricemobiles. Mr Howser sent this in, and we’re pretty sure it’s a spoof…but then again, it we’ve seen stranger ads on the…

69 Cougar XR-7 Something Something Joke About Middle Aged Single Women
/
A lesser blog might use the emergence of a relatively clapped-out ’69 Mercury Cougar with a 4-speed stick to make a string of relatively obvious, tired jokes. At Hooniverse, we keep it classy. While everyone loves a Mustang, the Cougars really represented the classier FoMoCo big-pony offering. At least most did, back when they had…

Hooniverse Asks- Can a Sportscar be Front-Wheel Drive?
/
Yesterday on Jalopnik, I proposed a $13,750 1991 Lotus Elan as our first NPOCP candidate of the week. While the car eventually pulled out a narrow victory, much discussion was undertaken on its desirability due to which end provided motivation- which in the case of this Elan, was the front. While no one would deny…

Dobbertin DHC: Like a Fieroghini Hydroplane!

Blame it on the jigger of scotch you had with brefass if you wish, but the Dobbertin HydroCar (DHC) is as real as your drinking problem, and a hell of a lot more dangerous.

Everything Else is For Pansies: 'Busa V8 Powered Ariel Atom
/
The problem with most of today’s supercars is that they’re mostly watered down track cars, used as grand tourers. As general-purpose cars they pretty much suck, and while rather impressive as track cars they get schooled by something like this Atom that costs a fraction of the Italian jobs. By the way, this is no…
