Hooniverse Truck Thursday: The Crosley Pickup Update
/
Way back in December, I did a post about a 1949 Crosley Pickup truck I happened to stumble upon one day while out and about. Well, I was cruising down Beach Street down in Daytona Beach about a month ago and spotted it parked out front of Rick’s RML Automotive and slipped in to capture…

Burnout Machine, Thy Name is LTD
/
Our own incorrigible commenter LTDScott demonstrates that the PantherFox-platformed Ford LTD makes for a wonderful tire-melter. Scott, may we humbly suggest you show the 240SX drift kids how it’s done at the next D1 amateur night?

'Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill the Poor' from the Comfort of Connolly Hides
/
The poor! Disgusting, really. When I drive by them and my chauffeur raises an eyebrow in the rearview mirror, I’ve occasionally rolled down the window a quarter inch and allowed a nickel to drop outside, but usually I deploy the motorized privacy curtains and go back to swimming around in my ducat-filled onboard swimming pool…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Car to Drive Naked?
/
Okay, I previously posited the question of which would be the best vehicle in which to streak, however that exhibitionistic endeavor is different from just plain old driving in the buff. In the case of streaking, you’re actively demonstrating your shortcomings, while au naturel means just wearing your birthday suit. There are tons of reasons…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – Did Someone Say Isuzu? The Controversial Vehicross and Axiom
/
It’s Hooniverse Truck Thursday, and if anyone hasn’t listened to the Hooniverse Podcast, do so. It was one of our best, and the conversation centered on what vehicles we would bring back from the dead. I zeroed in on Isuzu, specifically the first generation Impulse (Piazza in other markets), but the conversation also centered around…

Just a Little Reminder About a Certain Wagon
/
Yup…it’s still available. While the official listing price (on my buddy Craig’s Lists in both Los Angeles and Orange County) has dropped down to $3300, it’s important to know that things have actually improved on the SS Country Sedan since the last time I brought it up. Specifically, it’s idling like it should, sports dual…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Most Annoying Automotive Personalization?
/
Hey, do you really have a baby on board? Because if so I’m definitely going to refrain from T-boning you the first chance I get, Earth Mother. It used to be the only personal expression afforded our cars was bumper stickers announcing your affinity for Ike, or felt-covered dogs on the parcel tray with the…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – A 1960 Hillman Husky
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. On one of my first Wagon Wednesday features, I ran a posting about a restored 1954 Studebaker Conestoga. There was a couple of exchanges between two of our popular commentors, Rust-MyEnemy, and tonyola. It was Tony that brought up the Hillman Husky and provided a photo of…

Hey It's Two Wheel Tuesday
/
As some of my fellow Hoons of the two wheel variety have decided to join the Slacker’s Facebook Club must be really busy today, I thought I would post a few images of some bikes I saw out at the Speedway during Bike Week 2011. And since this olelongrooffan can’t tell the difference between a…

Just Cuz I'm A Happy Camper

This olelongrooffan is sitting here enjoying the Atlantic Ocean breeze flowing through my Taj Mahal and feeling a bit antsy. So, I thought I would share with my fellow Hoons some of the vintage tin cars and plastic Tonka Corvettes I scored at a swap meet down in Sarasota last weekend. The Chevy Coke truck…

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Came and Went Too Fast?
/
Yesterday I asked you about cars that caused the face palm of recognition – they still make that? Turns out there’s lots of cars that make the list of not-gone but forgotten. Today we’re doing a Rockford move – a 180 – and want to know, what cars or trucks in your estimation died before…
