The Carchive: The 1981 Ford Cargo
/
This week I celebrate my Thirty-Second birthday; and that’s quite enough about that, thanks. Also brought into the world in Spring 1981 was a vehicle that went on to appear literally globally, in endless different permutations. You’ll all have seen them knocking about, I’m sure, but possibly with Sterling or Freightliner emblems glued to the…

Bonjour, les Amis [New writer alert!]
/
Greetings, all. I suppose I should take some time and introduce myself. My name is Shant, and I come bearing news: I’m the new guy here. I love cars of all types, be they microcars built in the Eastern Bloc, or the latest and greatest sports car. If it has wheels and an engine, chances…

Hanging With The PBOC Boys At Homestead-Miami Speedway
/
So, as this olelongrooffan mentioned in my Weekend Edition post, on Friday morning my massive communications system lights up indicating the rare moment when some one actually wants to have a voice to voice chat with me. Turns out it was a dude I sold a racecar trailer to last year while I was still…

Ah-nold Goes For a Drive
/
Canadian comedian and actor Will Sasso has posted on his Vine page a series of 14 micro shorts in which he pretends to be Arnold Schwarzenegger driving around LA. These have been compiled together into a short, and NSFW due to language, YouTube video for your enjoyment. It’s pretty darn funny- your Nintendo’s a gay…

Classic Captions – The 1991 Isuzu Amigo Edition
/
Welcome to the Hooniverse Classic Captions Post. This is a series of posts that are set to run this time every Tuesday, so let’s review the premise; I search for images that were used by the car companies in their print advertising or brochures, and it is your job to provide a humorous, snarky, or…

Review: The London "Boris" Bicycle
/
I’m still treading lightly here at Hooniverse. Not trying to wave “look at me!!” too egregiously, not trying to voice too many outrageous opinions, and certainly trying to avoid treading on the toes of the big boys. To that end; here’s my first vehicle review for this fine website. If I had waded straight in…

/
The 15th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition is presently getting its press on, and befitting the largest automotive market on the planet, the 2013 show is anticipating more than 2,000 exhibitors on its vast convention center floor. The thing of it is, China’s auto makers, while evolving faster than a Tuatara, still seems to value mimicry…

Hoons Day Out: LeMay – America's Car Museum – In the Parking Lot
/
Two weekends ago, a few of my good friends and I made a southerly sojourn, about 35 miles south of Seattle, to the Lemay -America’s Car Museum. It’s been around for just a few years, and this was our first trip. One of the largest car museums in the world, it can house up to 350…

Customized 1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville will always stand out
/
I don’t think there’s a place in the world where a Cadillac will blend in. Well, except for maybe Florida. Still, I’m sure this 1960 Cadillac Coupé de Ville will always be noticed wherever it parks, no matter what’s around it. It’s not pink like the one I saw some time earlier, but this pin-striped…

This 1982 Mitsubishi Sapporo 2000 GSR is a ridiculous steal at 600
/
At Tour & Taxis on Brussels’ Havenlaan, Brussels Oldtimer Market is held indoors. It’s a huge venue, for people to bring their classics and assorted belongings for sale. This 1982 Mitsubishi Sapporo was photographed by a friend, Koenraad R, on his walk through the offerings. The car is also being offered online, and the asking…

The Drift Chronicles Part 1: That'll buff out…
/
[Editor’s Note – You remember the gent calling himself the Drift Idiot? His name is Sam Nalven and he’s on a mission to chronicle the current Formula Drift season, and his goal isn’t simply to cover the event but instead to dive a bit deeper. Here then is the first in a series of videos…

Hoonivercinema- Monday Music Video
/
If you’ve ever wondered what it would take to get a lady fair to give up the keys to her father’s Lamborghini, then perhaps this video by Yelawolf – which is played with tongue firmly in cheek – will offer up some pointers. Check out all the Lambo-yo-boy after the jump.

This Fiero-Motorcycle Mashup will make you question everything
/
Picture this: you’re a police officer in a small suburban Illinois town. You’re patrolling the streets, keeping your friends and neighbors safe from whatever evil lurks underneath the neat suburban surface. You believe in justice, equality, and the essential goodness of man. You love your wife, your children, your family, and America – the greatest…

Modern Art Monday – Say Hello to the 1994 Isuzu Truxarossa Wide Body
/
I love posts labeled as “Modern Art Monday”, and for good reason… More than any other category (except for maybe “Last Call”), these posts are very offbeat. There were images of a re-imagined Star Wars encampment, a decomposing 1964 Pontiac Safari Wagon, a Chevy Malibu dressed like a Coach Bag, the visual stylings of Syd…

Hooniverse Asks- What Generally Derided Element of Car Culture Are You Embarrassed to Admit Intrigues You?
/
Twinkies are the devil’s spawn. You know that those greasy little loaves are bad for you, and that they could potentially outlive you. You also know that they are not a food that demonstrates any level of cultural attainment at all. And yet, you still want to eat them. Mmmm, wasn’t that good now? There…
