Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Lotus 2 Eleven Edition
/
As I mentioned in a previous post, sometimes I’ll come across a vehicle at a car show that this olelongrooffan doesn’t know much about. But I usually am able to capture some images of it nonetheless.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Ariel Atom Edition
/
While this olelongrooffan sure enjoys car shows, as an automotive generalist, sometimes there are cars that I know almost nothing about.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Let's Go Racing
/
As I sit here in the living room of my beachside (not beachfront mind you) condo, three miles as the seagull flies from the Daytona International Speedway, I can hear the sound of the cars from the Richard Petty Experience taking some touristas on a few laps out there and I figured, What the Hell?…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The Referral to The Saucy Minx Via Skitter Edition
/
In the comment section of Friday’s Last Call, skitter went off topic (hey, really, it’s okay) and commented on a post The Saucy Minx did over at TTAC about his family’s Ramada. As always, Ms. Murilee’s stuff is a funtastic read. As this olelongrooffan was trying to figure out my segue (only podcast followers will…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Last Call: You Are Banished
/
If you are going to bring your lambo doored Vette to a car show with the personalized tag G8R VTTE and it’s not even Gator Orange and Blue and not even possessing a University of Florida license plate, you absolutely deserve to be banished to across the street and all by your lonesome.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: The I Can't F'ing Believe It Edition
/
So this olelongrooffan was sitting around my condo this morning when I received a call from the Hoon responsible for the repair of my daily driver laptop letting me know it was all tuned up. Well I swung by the Ormond Garage and traded his tiny ass netbook for my big screen laptop. So, as…

Ted liked his car pool, but he also liked sleeping in. Carol’s new truck looked like the obvious solution. Image source: [Imgur.com]

Hooniverse Fabulous Friday Edition: An Afternoon Stroll With thejeepjunkie
/
This blog is about old cars, junkyards, brothers and other cool stuff like that. If that doesn’t interest you, you might want to skip this one. Just want to warn you in advance it is kind of “pseudo-folksy.”

Rollin' Back the Years
/
Stu Bailey and Jeff Spencer were the detectives who would crack wise in the Warner Brothers crime drama, 77 Sunset Strip – a TV show that ran from 1958 ’til 1964. If you wondered what the Strip looked like as that show was winding down, but before the rockers had taken it over, check out the…

Mystery Car
/
Hey it’s Friday, and that means Mystery Car, or in this case, Mystery Truck. Yes, that’s a clue to solving this vexing conundrum, and in fact the only one you’re going to get in reference to its identity. Of course most of you would need even less than that slim hint as you are all…

Hooniverse Asks- Who Gets Retro Right?
/
There are certain things that are just plain wrong. Sometimes it’s a TV remote that has the most used buttons at the bottom, or that institutional toilet paper that’s strangely less wide than the stuff at home, and inevitably leaves you with a surprise finger painting opportunity. And with cars sometime it can be how…

Last Call- Motivated Seller Edition
/
There’s always some new angle that people are trying out in order to separate you from your money – two for one sales, subscriber discounts, value add-ons. In the case of the seller of this 1970 Maverick field stone it appears that he wanted to generate a sense of limited time availability. That’s all well…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday: The If I Had Enough Money Edition

Earlier on this Hooniverse Truck Thursday, this olelongrooffan did a post about Steam Whistle’s newest edition to their fleet. As cool as that fleet is,

Hooniverse Truck Thursday: Another Cool Addition to Steam Whistle's Fleet
/
Here in the Hooniverse, we have the greatest readers and commenters on these interwebs. A while back shit that far? Back when this olelongrooffan was a Hooniverse newbie, I did a post about the Steam Whistle Fleet up there in Merry Ole Canada. Well my fellow Hoons, today an email was received at the Hooniverse…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday: Very Prado Ya
/
Don’t call the Prado soft. It may be the slightly lighter-duty variant of its Land Cruiser sibling, but it’ll still chew up your nearest CUV and use the resulting slurry it to lubricate its center diff. While laughing maniacally.

Godspeed, Bob.

We stumble across many people in our lives. Some we see regularly for much of our lives, and others we only cross paths with haphazardly. But the amount of time we spend with somebody doesn’t always equate to the impact they have on our lives. Memorial services were held yesterday in Boise, Idaho for Bob…
