Wagon Wednesday: 1960 Rambler American Wagon
/
Ten years ago, Laurie Gidosh was selected as a winner on the reality TV show Popstars 2, becoming a member of the show’s synthetic pop group Scene 23. In one memorable episode, the nice-looking but unglamorous Gidosh gushed over sultry, maquillaged video footage of herself that transformed a girl who said “I never thought I…

Balls of Depleted Uranium: The 1905 Darracq "200"

I’m not a huge fan of the insanely old antique cars, but every so often, something springs onto my radar that makes me stop and take notice. One such example was my nominee for Hooniversal Car of the Year. If I hadn’t found that car, this might have been my runner-up.

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Coolest Cop Car?
/
Yesterday we asked you what you thought was the coolest cop bike – it being Two Wheel Tuesday and all – and today we’re asking the same question, but are adding a couple of tires to the mix. As legend has it, COP stands for Constable On Patrol, and whether that’s true or not, cops…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – Two Sport Wagons that sold in Microscopic Numbers
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. I thought I would shake up things a bit, and highlight a couple of Wagons that were recently discontinued within the US only a few years ago. They sold in such small numbers that their combined total sales couldn’t match the sales output of the almost $200,000…

Mystery Car Revealed!
/
This took a lot longer than I thought it would, but you guys came through, but only after I dropped a big hint, and then it was Lotte who came through and identified the mysterious French sports car.

Mystery Car!
/
This is a special edition of Mystery Car. Why is it a special edition you ask? Because its the first Mystery Car posting for me, but I can’t take all the credit. We received this very delicious posting from long time Hoon FacelVega (Thanks Man!) and I have to confess, I knew nothing about this…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Coolest Cop Bike?
/
Jon and Ponch rode Kawasakis, while in the movie, Electra Glide in Blue, Robert Blake’s bike was, not surprisingly, a Harley. These days, the California Highway Patrol rides BMWs, thanks to that company’s cost-cutting guaranteed buy-back program, and a number of Japanese makers established production capability here in the U.S. to overcome anti-foreign maker sentiment. There…

Hooniverse Two-Wheel Tuesday – The Bikes of Alfaheaven.com
/
It’s Two-Wheel Tuesday again, so let’s pay a visit to one of my favorite places, Alfaheaven. This is one very unique business, with ex-military vehicle sales combined with the love of the pre-Fiat Alfa Romeo, as well as vintage 70’s Japanese Motorcycle parts. So, why am I revisiting this place for Two-Wheel Tuesday? Two reasons:…

Last Call – Bird's Eye View Edition

The last Shuttle mission – ever – is tentatively scheduled for this week. That’s too bad because we won’t have great shots like this one being generated anymore. Of course, seeing this looming in your rearview mirror would be enough to have you make an uncontrolled re-entry in your pants. Image source: [Imgur.com]

Mystery Car
/
Now, this olelongrooffan has, until this point in time, been a Mystery Car virgin so I thought I would jump in with both feet. I spotted this car at a show a couple years ago and it is an original image of mine. Good luck over on google images. But I’ll bet my fellow Hoons…

Celebrate President's Day with a Daihatsu Taft!
/
It’s a well-known story in Japan that when the as-of-yet-unnamed Daihatsu Taft prototype was weighed to establish its gross vehicle weight, the engineer assigned to record what the scale read was an amateur history buff particularly interested in – nay, obsessed with – Presidents of the United States. When he glanced at the scale, he…

Eyesore 914 Needs MOAR STICKERS!

This is the sort of car that where you turn every corner on three wheels, pedal punching a hole in cigarette-stained carpet, while your friend’s moms in SUVs gawk at you in horror and then warn their kids to never hang out with you. It’s never seen the business end of a hose or a can of Bondo,…

Hooniverse Asks – It’s President’s Day, So What’s Your Favorite Lincoln?
/
Sure, today POTUS rides around in a Cadillac-bodied GMC Topkick, but that hasn’t always been the case. President McKinley was the first leader of this great nation to ride in a car, while Teddy Roosevelt’s administration was the first to buy an official government ride – a Stanley Steamer. Over the years, and up until…
