/
So this is the last of the posts this olelongrooffan is putting up here of the forgotten images of the 1st quarter of 2013 for my fellow Hoons enjoyment.

Weekend Edition: More Forgotten Images
/
So my fellow Hoons, here it is time for more forgotten images from this olelongrooffan. As such, the premise is that as this is the last day of the first quarter of 2013, I would post a bunch of images I had taken this past quarter but for one reason or another have not yet…

Weekend Edition: The Forgotten Images Edition
/
So as this olelongrooffan mentioned earlier, I am leaving the world of Windows and losing my Mac virginity in a short while. Now I know to many of you Mac’s are a way of life but to me, it is like, well, losing my virginity. I am told all will be well and it won’t…

Weekend Edition: A Trio Of Rare Ones
/
This is the last weekend of the 1st quarter of 2013. As such, this olelongrooffan thought I would post up some scattered images of cars I captured this past quarter with the intent of sharing them with my fellow Hoons but for one reason or another have yet to have done just that. As soon…

Last Call- Perforated Porsche Edition
/
So the story goes that the owner of this Porsche 911 donated it for target practice to the American Gun Club – Massachusetts chapter – after a catastrophic engine failure left it with the potential of twenty grand in repairs. While tragic and profane, there’s something almost mesmerizing about how this Porsche is being returned…

Fastback Friday – The Rotary Club
/
[Ed’s Note: The following rant is courtesy of Janne Pitkänen, an old friend. He drives a 2004 RX-8 -Antti] My RX-8 is nearly ready for the summer. A few niggles had to be taken care of, most importantly a clunking sound in the front suspension. The dealership promised to take care of any niggles, within…

NYIAS 2013: Photo dump of GM, trucks and the rest
/
It’s been two great days. For me, the New York Auto Show is an annual two-day escape from the reality of my day job and my family. I love going there, seeing everything, and talking to a lot (but not all) the people there. Like any vacation, it’s never long enough. See you next year,…

2013 NYIAS: Update from Jack
/
So apparently there is some embargo on teen journalists here at the New York International Auto Show. We got him a badge and a wrist band… but they wouldn’t let us on the floor. Apparently you have to be at least 18, which wasn’t a problem when we signed Jack up initially. Do you think…

Mystery Car
/
Today happens to be the birthday of Monty Python’s Eric Idle and so in his honor, for this week’s Mystery Car I would like to present, something completely different. Well, it’s actually not all that different. It is after all some form of wheeled vehicle masked by some inscrutable trickery and served up with nary a…

Fastback Friday: Long Shots: The Supra Dupra Edition
/
So this olelongrooffan is getting settled into my new digs in TheStuccoBox down here in toney Palm Beach, Florida. For that reason I decided to head down to Flagler Avenue (I think every town on the east coast of the Sunshine State has a street named after ole Henry Morrison) and take in the Palm…

NYIAS 2013: Photo dump of BMW, Ford, Audi and some others
/
Wednesday night we had our first annual (is it annual if it’s first?) Hooniverse/Blipshift gathering. Chances are that you were not there, and that’s too bad because you missed the opportunity to share beers with me, Jeff, Blake Z. Rong, Jack Baruth, John Krafcik (CEO of Hyundai), the guys from Limited Slip Blog, and a…

Hooniverse Asks- What’s Your All-Time Favorite Muscle Car?
/
While not a muscle car in the traditional sense, the introduction this week of the new Chevy Camaro Z28 got me thinking about the whole concept of stuffing a big block into a small space. You know, sort of the way Dr Who’s Tardis works, only with dual exhaust. Straight line performance was the muscle…
