Think Your Chainsaw is Tough?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvAI7-Qa2Io[/youtube] It’s the winter (for some of us), and we’re all looking for efficient, economical ways to keep warm.

Name That Part: New York Daily Tribune Edition

In our last Name That Part, we abused it as an opportunity to take some cheap-shots at Microsoft. We thought the hints were a bit too obvious, but as it turns out, we may have a slightly different train of thought than the rest of you. There were some fantastic guesses, and many of you…

After a brief rain and real-life induced hiatus, Hooniverse was back at Cars and Coffee, the informal car show put on way too early on Saturday Morning down in Orange County.

Public Service Announcement: Please Talk to Your Children About Masking
/
If you don’t, this could be the result. Yesterday we featured the Jaguiar, the zenith of Corvair engine swappage. This 283 + 4-speed Kelmark swap looks like fun, but the “everything but the glass” paint job isn’t doing it any favors. As the owner of a budget-painted Falcon, I’m not really one to talk…but damn.…

There was this guy, Jeffrey Lane Mowen, who bilked investors to the tune of $18 million in an apparent Ponzi scheme. Mr. Mowen then promptly went to jail. Did I mention he tried to have 4 witnesses killed from the comfort of his jail cell? Interesting feller, this guy. I could go on and on…
