Last Call- The Positive Effects of Government Belt Tightening Edition
/
It’s a tough job being a cop, and the men and women of law enforcement – Reno 911 excepted – deserve our respect and admiration. Unfortunately, Broward County Florida is making it extra hard for their sheriffs. Of course it’s also making high speed chases neigh on impossible, I’m just saying. . . Image: [Imgur]…

Early Volkswagen Golf Mk2 Is Too Slow to Age
/
I first saw this silver VW Golf yesterday, as I left for home and walked to my car. The light conditions were far from ideal for the Golf’s details to photograph well, so I passed the chance. Luckily, I saw it again today in perfect lighting, and I was happy to document its flawlessness. I’m…

Last Call- Deco Decadence Edition
/
The ostentation of the full-body tourer like Honda’s over the top Goldwing may seem like a modern affectation of the motorcycle melieu, but its lineage goes back farther than you might imagine. Built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936, this deco streamliner is based on an even earlier 1930 K.J. Henderson with a straight four. Featuring…

2009 Westfield: For The Se7en Lovers in All of Us
/
The Lotus Seven, if you’re like me then you probably always wanted one, but… And there are a lot of buts. One has to do with the overall cost, another with practicality, and the overall package of impracticality. There are simply better bangs for the buck out there, but we all one that there is…

Fancy Pants – The 2012 San Marino Motor Classic
/
So this past Sunday was the second annual San Marino Motor Classic, an event where yours truly served as chief judge of the Morgan Class. I know what you’re thinking – well la-de-freakin’-da – and I would be too, if it weren’t for all the impressive iron that was dusted off and brought out to…

Chevy Truck – Memorial Day Edition
/
Disclaimer: I’ve never set foot on U.S. soil. That is something I need to address at some point; it’s an unfortunate drawback and it somehow gives some of my writing a live-action-role-play kind of vibe. American cars and trucks should be experienced on their home turf, I imagine, as Europe’s never quite as wide and…

Found in the Forums: How cool is your barber?
/
Reader NoKetchup loves his local barbershop, and it’s easy to see why. Said barber is rolling around town in a rather excellent example of one of the greatest pickup trucks of all time, the Ford F100. Don’t get too excited about the steering wheel placement though, as we’re nearly certain this photo has been flipped…

Ever faced a repair that was going to cost more than your old beater was worth? Hooniverse Forums user tbrand has. In his case, it was his wife’s beater. What was the logical thing to do? Sell the car and put the repair money into a down-payment on a new car? Perhaps. However, when it…

Gather round little hoons, and let me regale you with an amazing story about cars before computers, when something as simple as a rubber hose was a valuable part of many a mechanic’s tool collection. Back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and Blockbuster was still in business, bartender duties on most cars…

Once You've Had A Taste: A Texan Hoon Goes Rallying
/
Going into this, I wasn’t entirely sure it was a great idea. I certainly had second thoughts. I had stumbled upon a Facebook page of a local rallycross track that was opening up. The page informed me that they were having the year’s first event for Texas Rally Cross in two weeks — and it…

Sometimes a great thread can get off to a slow start. Other times it might start off with such an awesome kick in the ass that others are scared to try and top the initial post. I believe that might just be the case with the thread started by pj134. The title of the tread…
