Hooniverse Asks- Would You Be Okay With Paying For Gas Based on Your Car's MPG?
/
At least where I live, both the local Edison, and the water company base their rates on how much you use. Stay below a certain pre-determined limit and you pay one rate for the month. Go over that limit, and you’ll incur a surcharge for all those long showers and never turning the basement light…

Last Call- Silly Rabbit, Trikes are for Kids
/
This Chopper’s about as close as you can get to bare-backing a VW motor. And while I appreciate the fact that it probably comes with reverse gear, I’m still trying to figure out how you shift it? Image source:[SVRider.com]

I Wonder If The Hells Angels Ever Do This?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s5zKS5-wUM[/youtube] Royal Liberty Morris is a Morris dancing “side” (troupe) that was originally founded a bunch of Outlaw Biker types, which one admittedly doesn’t often associate with precision choreography or ancient dance traditions. Or skipping in a circle for any reason. But let’s face it, British Biker Culture Is A Bit Different℠.

Farbs Ate My Brain
/
I used to be normal. About cars, about life. Really, I was. As a kid, I was admittedly much more fascinated with mechanical things that went fast than with people, who were irritatingly inscrutable and forced me to spend way too much of my time listening to them drone on about organically-based drivel (such as…

Hooniverse Asks- What's your Favorite VW-Based Kit Car?
/
As Ford’s Model A was to post war hot rodders, so was the VW Beetle platform to inveterate backyard car builders in the ’70s. In fact, if it rolled on 4 wheels – and sometimes only 3 – more than likely a replica could be had in fiberglass that would somehow fit on the German…

It's Now Motorhome Monday? Did I Miss The Memo?
/
So, this morning this olelongrooffan checked in here in the Hooniverse, read yet another excellent Mr. Scroggs post and promptly headed out to meet my brother, thehorsefarmer, and his lovely wife, thebarngoddess. They are down here in sunny central Florida on a belated spring break from their farming duty up in the southwest Missouri Ozark…

Hooniverse Motorhome Monday – Say, didn't you work here sometime ago?
/
Yes, this is an impromptu Motorhome Monday here on Hooniverse. Jeff Glucker (you remember him, right?) did a great review over at Autoblog on a new Airstream Avenue. This is basically an upscale Chevrolet Express converted to do camping duties, and it seems impressive for what it is.

Hooniverse Motorhome Monday – No Reservations Needed via Automotive Traveler
/
No this is not a Motorboat Monday feature, but a Motorhome Monday feature. A very good friend of mine did a piece over at Automotive Traveler, and since Rob ran a Hooniverse Asks posting asking “What is your dream Motorhome?“, I thought this would be a great companion piece.

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Dream Motorhome?
/
Ahh, the first really warm days of Spring are finally arriving to much of the country. And that means both wicked-bad storms down South, and the first twinges of vacation wanderlust for the rest of us. And when America takes to the road for those few precious days each year away from the office, a…

Mr. Orlove has an interesting site of his own called Autofrei, and he dropped us a line after I put this posting up. So…

Hooniverse Classic Toyota Weekend – A 1985 Toyota MR2
/
The Toyota MR2 is one of those cars that lights the auto enthusiasts hearts afire. This was a car that Toyota got right on the very first try. It was sporty, handled well, kinda attractive, and fairly cheap to purchase and own. While it may have not been as reliable as a Toyota, it was…
