Hooniverse Asks- What Car Has Most Failed to Live Up to Your Expectations?
/
If you’re a woman then you’re probably used to being disappointed. I mean, you earn less for the same work, there’s the monthly visit from Aunt Flo that you have to contend with, and even when you are stereotypically the last survivor in a horror movie, you still have little more to wear than a…

Modern Art Monday – 2009 Lancia Delta Multijet Turbodiesel
/
A while ago, our own Jim of Yu ran an article called “The Current, Sad State of Lancia”. Here’s where I take the opposing stand. You see, I find the current Delta a magnificent exercise in over-doing the most with the least. With only a hatchback Fiat platform to work with, Lancia managed to bring…

Hooniverse "Antti" Fastback Friday – A 1979 Dodge Magnum GT for your Pleasure
/
Welcome to another Hooniverse Fastback Friday Feature, only this time it’s an “Antti-Fastback” feature because I found the most delicious Malaise Era Dodge ever. This particular feature started when our own Antti Kautonen highlighted a Dodge Mirada hibernating in Finland, and I decided to try and find one that is for sale on eBay, or…

Pictures of Cars with engineerd™: Sno*Drift Edition
/
While the LongRoofian was enjoying the sun and mild temperatures of Daytona Beach, about 2,000 people decided that we were tougher than that. Instead, we would stand outside in the middle of winter in Northern Michigan facing wind and snow and ice to watch cars drive by. Some may call that insane, I call it…

Found in the Forums: The Cool Thread
/
Top Gear has its Cool Wall. Hooniverse has its Cool Thread. User IrishZombieMan started a discussion called “The Cool Thread”, and the it’s pretty simple to participate. Basically, post a picture of something… cool. The very first photo is of mini cars running around a full loop, and the photos only get more awesome from…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – 1984 Chevrolet El Camino
/
Today’s Truck Thursday posting by yours truly is a 1984 El Camino. It’s parked pretty much exactly where the black Rover 3-litre sat last autumn; there is a garage behind it and the forecourt often plays stage to a variety of cars in various stages of disassembly. Handily enough it’s also a stone’s throw from…

For Sale: Renault 4 – How Can You Say "No" to This Face?
/
Hello, and welcome to 2012. In case the landing was rough, here’s something almost annoyingly cutesy to cheer you up on the first Monday of the week. Hur hur. Let me kick off the year with a classic little French car that only needs a new home and some spanner work to keep you company.

The 1972 British Grand Prix: A Photographic Retrospective
/
Through a bit of personal luck, I managed to find myself internet stumbling across these excellent series of vintage racing photography. Mr. Robert Baron has brought an enthusiasts perspective of racing in the 60s and 70s to those of us with a passion for motorsport and an internet connection. For that, I have to offer him…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – For Sale: 1986 GAZ 66
/
Liked Jim’s GAZ Chaika post? How’s this for a deal? Here’s a 1986 (surprisingly late) model year GAZ 66, for sale for a reasonably affordable price of 2500 EUR. It always galls me somehow to use Euros as the currency for Russian/Soviet cars/trucks advertised for sale, as they should only be sold for either roubles…

Last Call- PSA Edition
/
There’s this think called truth in advertising, and while it doesn’t extend to the realm of motorcycle ID plates, the one above, which, if you are not familiar, is an abbreviation for Not Safe For Life, could be a perfect example should it ever be necessary to do so. Image: [Imgur]

Fastback Friday: 1983 Datsun 280ZX By Nissan
/
Spotting and hunting down interesting cars is hard but fulfilling work. I was driving to lunch yesterday and noticed a glimpse of bright red one block and three cars behind me. The unique headlamp was enough for me to realize that I’ve spotted a 280ZX. As it pulled into the large strip mall behind me,…

Continuing on with our Interesting Project Car Weekend, influenced by our very own Jim Yu who wrote about a group of classic car enthusiasts exercising their vehicles of choice through Marin and Sonoma Counties in California this past New Years Day. The next interesting project car I found is this 1968 Sunbeam Alpine Series V…

The featured artist at this year’s event is Grant Massey of Frankford DE, whose preferred medium is copper. For those of you not fortunate enough to be visiting the Art League’s show on opening day, perhaps…

Hooniverse Fastback Friday – 1992 Opel Calibra Hank Scorpio Edition
/
For a change, it’s time to feature a sporty coupe that never was sold in the States. A lot of my sightings have been US-made cars or something that was available there in another guise, but the GM-sourced and sometimes Finnish-built Opel Calibra isn’t something that can be seen sitting by the side of the…
