Say hello to the new Classic Car Capital of Texas
/
Nocona, Texas is a small town of just over 3,000 people, and it’s situated about an hour north of Dallas. Should you have heard of it before? Not really, unless you love cowboy boots. Nocona was the long-time home of the Nocona Boot Company before it jumped ship for factories in El Paso, Texas and…

V.I.S.I.T. – Plasti-Dipped 1998 Saab 9000 CSE Turbo
/
This 1998 Saab 9000 is one of the cars habitually appearing on the parking lot of my office complex. It probably belongs to a Saab enthusiast, and it’s been customized a bit with all the horizontal surfaces having been done over with a black matte material. It’s either vinyl wrap or Plasti-Dip, whatever has come…

Video: Slammed Black Lada 2107
/
This black beauty, a Lada 2107 tuned in its native country Russia, displays styling and modifying cues familiar from J-Tin cars. Rolling on deep-dish wheels that wouldn’t look out of place on a tuned Datsun 510, it’s an aggressive-looking square machine. It also sports a padded rollcage, Bride racing seats and all the trimmings you’d…

Craigslist Crapshoot
/
Welcome to our Wednesday staple, that collection of all things drivable but deleterious, Craigslist Crapshoot. Last week I asked for you to dredge up ads for the worst exotics, and boy did some of you dig deep. We’ll have last week’s winner after the jump, but first we need this week’s assignment. While last week…

Craigslist: This is a 2010 Ferrari Enzo "Reproduction", not a kit car
/
There are times when you see a car which just leaves you speechless. Unfortunately for us that could be either Duesenberg or the International “Truckcar“. This, unfortunately, is the case of the latter. The amazing part is that someone actually took the time and effort to create this thing.

/
Sometimes you just want to get away from it all, off the beaten path, back to nature. Of course your shiny new BRZ, ancient Dodge Shadow, or whatever you happen to call your pride and joy won’t really let you go far from where the pavement ends, and we all believe in using the right…

Last Call- So That's How You Want To Play It, Eh? Edition
/
They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. It’s very cold on a Honda CBR in winter. You know what else goes good with retribution? A full-bodied Cabernet and a nice side salad, that’s what. Image: Collegehumor

Rusty's Hooniverse Love-In.
/
Since The Management haven’t pulled the plug on my posts just yet, I thought I might as well introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me. The name’s Chris and I trade here under the hastily selected sobriquet Rust-MyEnemy, which was coined back in 2006 when I first became active on some forum…

V.I.S.I.T. – 1996 Renault Mégane Coupé
/
Chiquita, the banana company, advertise their products as “The Bright Spot in Every Day”. The same can be said of this very yellow Renault Mégane Coupé, that is one of the cars using yellow as a signature colour. When the Mégane lineup was launched in the mid-1990s, a handsome amount of the cars were eye-searingly…

Craigslist: A classic BMW for under $4,000… because it only has two wheels
/
So you want to own a classic BMW, but you don’t have the coin to put that 3.0 CSL in your garage? Maybe you should start thinking about a two-wheeled German steed instead. Perusing my local Craigslist this morning I happened across a 1979 BMW R100, and it’s asking price of $3,500 seems like a…

2013 Rolex24: Random Images From The Garages
/
My fellow Hoons, take a look at the loneliest place in the garage area during the 2013 Rolex24 weekend. Yeah, not a Goodyear tire was to be found among the Continental Tire sponsored races all weekend long.

Hooniverse Asks- What's More Fun to Watch, Motorcycle Racing or Auto Racing?
/
Racing is one of those sports that in practice is probably more fun as a participant than as a spectator. It’s also however, a sport where should you not know what you’re doing, your participation could – and likely will – be short lived. Besides, that La-Z-Boy in front of the TV allows you to…
