Wagon Wednesday – Audi A4 Wagon
/
For some reason, I decided to use the parking garage rather than the surface lot when I pulled into work this morning. I’m glad I did, because I got the chance to get a few pictures of this A4 wagon.

The Carchive: The Matra Simca Rancho
/
Last week we spent some time looking at several cars that could have been seen as being ahead of their time. Not necessarily through being radical, outrageously complex or using technology from far-distant galaxies, but through pre-empting what consumers might have demanded in the coming years. We looked at the Renault Vel Satis, which proved…

This is another find in the garage. He was double-parked, so obviously it’s a special car, right?

2013 NYIAS: Hoon-In-Training – In which we unleash a 13 year old onto the show floor
/
The recent Hooniverse post about the coolest car toy of your youth got me to thinking about the question “When did it start for me?” That is, when exactly did my love of cars begin? I’m pretty certain it all started when I was around 7 years old, sparked by a Matchbox Motorway race set.…

Diecast Delights: ZiL 130 in 1:43 by Ultra
/
If this ZiL 130 seems vaguely familiar to you, that might be because its mug is featured in the opening credits of FX’s new documentary drama The Americans, a sequence also notable for a GAZ 21 that gets wantonly blowed up. You might also remember that back in December we saw a much larger and…

Truck Thursday: Long Shots: The 1959 Chevy Fleetside Edition
/
So on the day this olelongrooffan was leaving TheGarage and heading out of the World Center of Racing for my new home in TheStuccoBox down in toney Palm Beach, I happened to pass by the shop that painted thejeepjunkie’s bright yellow 2A as well as my olestationbus a few years ago. Astute readers of this…

Hooniverse Asks- Is your Daily Driver Your Home Away From Home?
/
Do you live in your car? Now, I don’t mean live in it in the fashion of being one step away from homelessness, which would be tragic. No, I mean do you maintain your car as an extension of your home, with certain accouterments that might not otherwise find their way in there? My wife…

Last Call- Less is Moretti Edition
/
No matter how recherché or symbol of a marque’s impending extinction, there remains a certain point where one simply must give up. Battle scarred and compromised by rust, one of the few remaining Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde spiders has been exiled to parts car duty, never again to turn a tire in anger. Still,…

V.I.S.I.T. – 1964 Fiat 1500GT Ghia Coupe
/
One doesn’t usually expect to see rare etceterini on the street in the Northeast till well into the month of May, though some even find May chilly. But every once in a while I am pleasantly surprised. Which is why the owner of this 1964 Fiat 1500GT Ghia Coupe gets a tip of the hat…

The Carchive: The Leyland Princess
/
Todays trawl from the R.A-S.H archive brings us a car that certainly doesn’t register strongly on the international radar, but is as brilliantly of-its-time as a ’59 Cadillac, a Cord 810 or a Model T. The moment you read the phrase “motor-car” it immediately confirms that you’re reading a British car brochure. And, in…

Wagon Wednesday – 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Estate
/
My American car sighting posts continue. This 1987 Caprice Classic post is somewhat of an exception, as it was shot in the middle of the night, coming out of a nightclub in central Tampere, Finland – usually my sightings are done in broad daylight. The Caprice is very apt for a night time sighting, as…

A Hoon's First Taste of 24 Hours of LeMons

After reading dozens of Murilee Martin’s posts about the race, I finally got to witness the circus myself last weekend at Sonoma Raceway. Rather than bore you with words, I will just show you the pictures I took. Actually, I will bore you with a few words. Enjoy.
