/
Welcome to Hooniverse Truck Thursday. Hey, it looks like my time slot has been hijacked, so this posting is appearing a little later than usual, but it is well worth the wait. Many of us are die hard auto enthusiasts and happen to take part in many motoring events. Be it dirt bikes, slalom events,…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday: A 1924 Ford Model TT Firetruck Edition
/
As I have previously mentioned, this past weekend was the Celebration of the Spring Fling down here in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was a Chamber of Commerce weather type of weekend and as such, this olelongrooffan headed out to the Daytona International Speedway to see what was to be seen. Imagine my surprise to see…

Hooniverse Asks- What Was Your First Car Book?
/
Cars and books are inexorably linked. After all, if it wasn’t for cars, how would you get all those library books back in time? And for most of us, there’s a shelf, or perhaps several, that are dedicated to books about cars. Looking back, there must have been one that started it all? For me,…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday: Black College Reunion Edition
/
While Hooniverse Last Call seems to be coming along earlier and earlier every day, this olelongrooffan thought I would go ahead and publish this post anyway. (Honestly, I thought curfew was 9:30 EST, Dad) Seriously, down here in Daytona Beach, Florida, in the early part of winter and spring we have Speedweeks, the Rolex24, the…

Last Call – Motor Interrogation!
/
The Soviets were trying to extract any information from our hero, but Chevy Smallblock was stronger than anything they could muster. The little Chevy that could was eventually returned home in exchange for the Tatra 603 V8 that tried to defect to the west. Image Credit: James Vaughan’s Flickr Photostream

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – Two California Craigslist Wagons. So what would you do with them?
/
Continuing on with Wagon Wednesday, these two Craigslist postings landed in out in-box here at Hooniverse HQ. Since we devote at least one day of the week for odd-ball wagons, they were perfectly timed to showcase. One is a 1966 Dodge Dart Wagon, the last year you could get a wagon body on a Dart.…

This Makes Ski Lifts Incredibly Boring
/
Think you’re a badass? Or at least maybe you’ve accomplished some cool stuff at your job? Nope, you aren’t and you haven’t. Know why? Because you haven’t flown six Astra HD8 8×6 heavy duty trucks over the Swiss Alps via cable tramway to service a hugely ambitious tunneling and power plant project. That is unless…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday: The 1969 Rambler Edition
/
As I was traversing the Daytona International Speedway this past weekend, I walked through the area where all the race car driver’s motorcoaches park during race weekends and realized this was the location of this year’s featured marque, the Rambler of the late 60’s. I spotted more Rambler Scramblers gathered in one spot than I…

Hooniverse Asks- Two-Door Wagons, Cool or Drool?
/
Shooting brakes. That’s the fancy-pants way to describe the two-door wagon. People who call them that also refer to cockroaches as water beetles while they slam a palm down on them scuttling across the kitchen counter. Like I said, fancy-pants. These days most wagons – that is what few there are, thanks Ass-UVs – are…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – The Affordable Wagons of Goldenrod Garage
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. Many of you have complained that I feature wagons that are priced in the stratosphere. That is true at some point, but rarity and condition dictates price, and remember, I did highlight a couple of wagons that were relatively affordable…. If you don’t believe me, just follow…

Last Call – Sound Advice Edition
/
Over the past weekend there was a horrific crash at this years Texas Mile competition. It involved The twin-turbo Hinson Motorsports C6 Corvette Z06, and you may have read about it here. Well, this bit of sound advice would have been helpful in that situation…. Image Credit: I Hate Motorcycles

Hooniverse Topless Tuesday: The Land Yacht Edition
/
Well, my fellow Hoons, as this olelongrooffan neglected to get an image of that dual V8 Boss Hawg powered trike this past weekend, I decided to hijack a post here on Two Wheel Tuesday to share with you this entry for Topless Tuesday.

Caption This: Factory "Rider" Busy "Riding"

Methinks the Spark 500 was not quite ready for production when this shot was taken. Or the Asiawing factory test rider just works his way up to riding the streets of Tai’an one small step at at time. [SOURCE: roketa.com]
