96 Body and 9-3 Brains: How To Combine Two Swedes Into One
/
[singlepic id=3480 w=640 h=479 float=center] Here’s a conundrum I’m sure we all have dealt with at one point in our lives; what do you do when you have a Saab 96 and a 9-3 Aero? One answer is to combine the two into an unassuming Swedish track monster. Neo Bros, a Saab parts specialist in…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: A Stroll Through The Rolex Series Garage
/
By this time, every other website that is going to cover the Roar Before The 24, occurring down here in the World Center of Racing last weekend, has done so, this olelongrooffan decided I would chime in with my take on it. Yeah, I am just full of yesterday’s news. Now, if my fellow Hoons…

/
So it seems Redditor Yukfinn bought a used Accord, and upon arriving home discovered something about it and the neighbor’s same-year Civic that would make even Moe Sizlack go whaaaaaa?! Image: [Imgur, via Reddit]

Wagon Wednesday: Depth of Speed Datsun Ragtop Longroof
/
We’re no strangers to the fantastic videos made by Josh Clason at Depth of Speed. Their (his?) most recent video covers a beautiful Datsun wagon which has been ever so slightly pimped. While not all of us are fans of this so-called stance movement, this particular longroof is mostly original. Its coolest feature is a long…

Have you ever wanted to add a bit of automotive flair to your home interior design while garnishing yourself some brownie points with the missus? Here is your opportunity. While living in Spain a few years ago, I…happened upon… a European plate that may or may not have been hanging half on and half off of a Seat…

Modern Art Monday: Lancia Delta Integrale
/
Just look at it, it’s beautiful isn’t it? It is the last of the great Lancias, the last of Spec B rally cars. And yet, despite this vehicle being on eBay right now, this is the closest that any of us will actually get to owning one, or even seeing one in person. [Source: eBay Motors and photobucket]

Truck Thursday: The Commercial Vehicle Show
/
As Tuesday’s Internet-shaking post on the Ford Transit Custom reveal revealed, I’m in Birmingham, England at the sprawling Commercial Vehicle Show. The same new job duties that brought my regular contributions to Hooniverse to a full stop have also brought me to the UK for the first time. Note – Tanshanomi created this post on…

Rover 75 Saloon – Here's for the Underdog
/
Not quite a Jaguar, not quite a BMW, no longer a Honda – the Rover 75 is an odd bird. I will not hide my interest towards them; there’s something quite fetching about a failed premium car that comes from a troubled upbringing. Everything on a 75 is either chrome, leather or something in between,…

2013 Viper accidentally revealed in a Hot Wheels toy
/
Squint. The above is the 2013 SRT Viper. Correction, that’s the Hot Wheels 2013 Dodge Viper. Allegedly. Supposedly. Could it be that Dodge or SRT, whatever the proper name maybe these days, accidentally introduced the 2013 Viper in a large Hot Wheels scale? Weirder things have happened. Below is the “official teaser” released by the…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – Red Truck Appreciation Society
/
Yes, it’s still snowy here. It’s not yet May 1st or midsummer, when the amount of snow has usually halved, so it’s not a bad idea to truck around town in a red Japanese 4×4. It’s just a matter of preference, whether you want yours to be XS or XL-sized. Check out the Suzuki and…

Last Call- Spring Has Sprung Edition
/
Yesterday being the Vernal Equinox – meaning an equal number of hours of daylight and nightdark – means that today is the first day of Spring. And in honor of that, I give you, the Torino-bred Siata Spring, because who doesn’t love the idea of an spritely open-topped Italian sports car in spring? Image: [Dayerses]

Barrett-Jackson is coming back to Orange County
/
Time to dust off your favorite Affliction t-shirt, because Barrett-Jackson is coming back to Orange County… and Hooniverse will be attending. While we quite enjoy the more laid-back attitude found at a Mecum event, we can’t ignore the hype and excitement that comes from a Barrett-Jackson affair. What cars are early stand outs?

Truck Thursday: The Scamander Amphibious All-Terrain Vehicle
/
The Scamander is Peter Wheeler’s last project. It is an amphibious all-terrain vehicle which seats three people, with the driver sitting in the middle, not unlike in the McLaren F1. It is rear-wheel-drive but don’t let that fool you into thinking that it cannot go off-road. Peter Wheeler past away in 2009, but that did not…
