Truck Thursday: Everything About the Jeep Gladiator J-210
/
There are people out there that know way too much about a certain specific make or a model of a vehicle. I, for instance, may know way too much about the third generation Integra, the early line of FSO Polonez, and BMW overall. I’m not saying I know everything, but I am dangerous. That is…

Hooniverse It's 1962 Weekend – 1962 Fords that are highly desirable, or maybe not.
/
Continuing on with our “It’s 1962” edition of Hooniverse Weekend, I thought I would show a few classic 1962 Fords to balance out the Chevrolets. Unfortunately, there is not the number of Hi-Po Fords for this year listed on eBay, so I’m opening it up to some interesting garden variety Blue Oval models.

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – A 1963 GMC Suburban
/
Welcome to another Wagon Wednesday. The Chevrolet and GMC Suburbans were arguably the originators of today’s truck based Sport Utility Vehicles way back in 1935, but they were nothing but the front end and frame of a pickup truck, with a metal wagon shaped body from the “A” pillar back. They were strictly utilitarian in…

Hooniverse Asks- What’s The Weirdest Badge Engineered Car?
/
On Monday we initiated a discussion on which shared platform had the least members bogarting the good stuff. That was the Zenith of cross pollination, while today we want to know your opinion as to what car-clone is the opposite, the nadir. Sometimes manufacturers go to great lengths to hide the source of shared parts,…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Zyncro Has Been Heard From!!
/
My fellow Hoons may remember a post this olelongrooffan did about the Zyncro last year? Well, it turns out it was fairly popular subject matter and even was nominated for the Hooniverse Car of The Year by our infamous Dearthair. Anyway, in the comment sections of the posts about that Zyncro, it was suggested by…

/

Wayne is also the owner of F40 Motorsports in Connecticut, along with a restoration and body shop associated with it.

I’ll bet Rust My Enemy gets the reference. Welcome to Hooniverse Truck Thursday. I know this is Hooniverse Truck Thursday and I am confident my fellow Hoons are wondering what the hell this trailer has to do with that. Well Hoons, making the jump to is required to get that determination.

Good Morning My Fellow Hoons

Is there a better way to start the week than spotting this overlooking the Atlantic Ocean? This olelongrooffan spotted this while I was driving down A1A on my way to the Daytona International Speedway and actually whipped a Ueey to go back and capture this shot. It certainly sums up my weekend with old cars…

Hooniverse Asks- Ford's New Fusion, Yay or Nay?
/
Yesterday at NAIAS, Ford introduced what is possibly the most important element of their product line up – the 2013 Fusion.
