/
Welcome to another Modern Art Monday feature here on Hooniverse. I have a very strong opinion about most BMW owners, and if I offend any owners of these cars, I can’t say that I’m sorry. Most of the BMW owners I have met (especially the “M” versions) are pricks. There I said it…. and with…

/
Yes this Hooniverse Couldawouldashoulda Weekend series of postings is fun to think about what we could be driving for the same amount of cash as a much less interesting new car, but is it practical?

Watch An Armless Guy Change The Brake Pads On His Car
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4cYcdDMl8s&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] Ok, so he doesn’t actually change the brake pads because they still have a lot of life left in them and perhaps it is slightly creepy how talented he is with his feet but the dude is amazing.

Mystery Car

Last week’s Mystery Car was kind of a tricky one, being a one-off from a TV mini-series. That said, while taking a little longer than usual, you didn’t let me down and came up with both the car – the Hawk from the mini-series, Arthur Hailey’s Wheels – as well as the actors leaning on…

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Has Changed Most Since its Introduction?

Transsexualism is a challenge for some, and represents a radical change in both look and function for the individual affected.
