Encyclopedia Hoonatica: Twin-Spark Engines
/
I was asked this question at work, and could only come up with three engines; I’m sure there are more, so I therefore turn the question over to you, our astonishingly-well-read commentariat, to provide more answers. Alfa-Romeo made a marketing point of this feature, so I am removing them as the low-hanging fruit. In…

Hooniverse Asks- What Car has the Best Looking Gauge Cluster?
/
It’s the part of your car that you look at probably more often than any other – aside from maybe the seat cushion to check for skid marks after a particularly frightening maneuver – it’s your dash. And as you and it need to be on so familiar of terms, you’re probably well versed in the…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – A Minty Green Dodge D200
/
Welcome to Hooniverse Truck Thursday. I was looking at the Hemmings listings for a truck to feature this week, and look what I found. It is a 1972 Dodge D200 that just underwent a cosmetic restoration. This is the first year for this generation of Dodge Trucks that was produced between 1972 and 1991, and…

/
I’ve had these images lingering on my hard drive over the course of several laptops and this olelongrooffan thought this might be the time they saw the light of day on this Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday.

Hooniverse Asks- How Will You Hot Rod an Electric Car?
/
When I was a kid, the geezers who worked on cars complained – between arcing spits of chewing tobacco – how sealed carbs were ruining automotive tuning. People, unlike geezers, are adaptable, and even though automobiles and their internal combustion engines have gone through decades of changes that have altered the way we get horsepower…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – A Couple of Modern Wagon Renderings
/
Welcome to Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. Our readers rock judging by the amount of tips we receive each day, like this one from Age_of_Aerostar (Thanks, Man!) He alerted us to a couple of modern Wagon interpretations, and I was wondering if you love them or hate them. However, you can only see them after the…

Last Call – Royalvolution Enfield Edition

Royal Enfields have been around for so long without much change, it would be accurate to call any new aspect of their bikes to be evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. Image source: [coloribus.com]

Is This Fiat 500 Abarth Awesome Or Awful?
/
So I’m minding my own business, cruising down Woodward Avenue in the Detroit ‘burb of Royal Oak when I spot this nutty little machine. The station owner claims it as his own 1969 Fiat 500 Abarth which he’s done up with vinyls and aftermarket bits for street-side advertising purposes. I don’t really know how to…

I'll See Your Two Wheel Tuesday and Raise You… Wait…
/
Maybe that should be “lower you”, rather than “raise you”? Well, whatever. While I’ve been spending most of my time over at our sister site AtomicToasters lately, I still try and do a post for Hooniverse from time to time. Every so often, an article falls unbidden into our laps, and presents the dilemma; on…

Dropping A Little Hint

If you follow the right tube, you just might run across this message posted somewhere around the interwebs …just in case any of you two-wheeled types are interested. UPDATE: I should also add that I’ve installed IntenseDebate comments on my site, so regular Hooniverse readers can comment on TSJ without creating a new account.

/
Yesterday, Robert posed this question about Cars. For Two Wheel Tuesday, we turn to bikes: At what point in motorcycle history do bikes go from pretty, dangerous pieces of antiquated crudeness to something you’d actually rather blast around on than sit and stare at?
