It is one of the features that helps distinguish Hooniverse from any other car based on-line blog, along with Two-Wheel Tuesday, Modern Art Monday, The Hooniverse Podcast, and the always popular Encyclopedia Hoonatica.

Hooniverse Asks- What Car-Related Tale Has Hollywood Given the Short-Shrift?
/
This week you have proven that the Hollywood film industry has given us many iconic motorcycles and cars, and many of those were the centers of the celluloid drama that unfolded on the screen, or TV sets nationwide. But that being said, what car-related story hasn’t yet received an appropriate Hollywood treatment? NASCAR has had…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – Two Corvair Greenbriar Vans… So which one would you choose?
/
Welcome to Hooniverse Truck Thursday. Last week we highlighted a Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Forward Control Pickup Truck (try and say that three times fast!), so this week, I thought it was time to highlight the passenger van with a Corvair heart, the Greenbriar. I found two Greenbriars that were recently “restored” on Auto Trader…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – The Wagons at Orlando Classic Cars
/
Continuing Wagon Wednesdays… I thought I would bring you five great wagons offered at Orlando Classic Cars in Orlando Florida. Just as I did during Two-Wheel Tuesday, I will just present the Wagons with only the information provided by the dealer, and there will be a poll at the end.

Encyclopedia Hoonatica: Non-Traditional Valve Systems
/
How about a little Encyclopedia Hoonatica to make your hump day a little less humpy? It’s funny how one thing leads to another, and from where inspiration arises. A couple of days ago I was listening to the radio, and a story came on about a man who needed a new heart valve. Once…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – An Original 1967 Ford Country Squire

Continuing on with Wagon Wednesday, I spotted this very original 1967 Ford Country Squire Wagon on Hemmings. This car is the perfect candidate for a cosmetic restoration, or you can drive it as is. What would you do with it?

Hooniverse Asks – What's the Most Legendary Car in Hollywood?
/
Yesterday, being Two Wheel Tuesday everywhere were not prohibited by law, I asked a question that potentially could topple at a stop light. That query was about what was Hollywood’s most legendary motorcycle, and boy did you come through. There were the expected Easy Riders and Great Escapisms, but day-um, Battlestar Galactica cafe racers? You…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – An Original 1977 Mercury Bobcat Wagon

Welcome to another Wagon Wednesday here on Hooniverse.com. The Mercury Bobcat was a quick answer to the calls from Lincoln Mercury dealers clamoring for a sub-compact car in the days of the first and second OPEC oil embargo. It was introduced during the 1975 model year and is a virtual twin to the Ford Pinto,…

And Now For Something Different – The Personal Luxury Cars of Orlando Classic Cars
/
I am breaking up this Hooniverse Two-Wheel Tuesday to bring you something a little different. Motorcycles are, for the most part, pretty basic. Sure you can get models that are High Performance, or ones that are Boulevard Cruisers, and some that are capable Trail Blazers, but they are still basic. So with that in mind,…

So this weekend begins Spring Bike Weeks down here in Daytona Beach, Florida. My fellow Hoons may remember a post this olelongrooffan did about Biketoberfest last fall. This afternoon I headed down to Beach Street to see what was going on.

Hooniverse Asks – What's the Most Legendary Motorcycle in Hollywood?
/
The Oscars® took place this past Sunday night, and if you watched the telecast, you probably no longer need those sleeping pills any more. The King’s Speech took home the biggest awards, but nowhere in the night was any mention made of accolades for Hollywood’s two-wheeled actors, so it’s up to us to rectify this…
