/
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.

Hooniverse Asks – At What Point Do You Consider Motorcycles to Have Become ‘Modern?’
/
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?

Welcome to Murray Country: Population, Awesome
/
It’s difficult to believe from 40-odd years on that the most legendary versions of the muscle cars we now worship often languished on salesfloors when new. Turns out a wildly expensive, obscenely powerful American car getting low-single-digits fuel economy and requiring arm-leg-and-kidney-priced car insurance was a tougher sell to the aspirational young market than the…

2011 Queen's English Car Show – No English Cars, But Plenty of English Weather
/
Spring arrived yesterday at around 4 in the afternoon. Tea time to those in the British Empire. Yesterday was also supposed to bring the Queen’s English British Car Show, at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, CA, but an unseasonably wet weekend put the kibosh on those plans. By the time we got there, only about…

Hooniverse Asks – At What Point Do You Consider Cars to Have Become 'Modern?'
/
The Model T, for all its iconic notoriety, and having put America behind the wheel, is a remarkably different sort of car to drive. Hand throttle, Hand crank to start, and while there are three pedals down where your feet are, they all (clutch, reverse and brake) work the planetary gear transmission. It wasn’t until…

This is really what every awd car with a turbo should look like 99% of the year. And as Tenbeers pointed out, “Dirt is the correct color for any Evo or WRX” Agreed.
