Hooniverse Weekend Edition – Road Test Review: The Texan Corvette
/
When you’re 19, it’s more difficult to get a test drive in an old Corvette than a new 911. Strangely, this is also true of driving a new Civic Si, Prius, or GTI, which is less understandable. Whether it’s the Corvette’s reputation for unpredictable handling under power or the fact that ever teenager wants one,…

Electric Speedster: Ride the Lightning, In Style!
/
Teslas are for wimps and people named after glandular animal secretions. This 356 Speedster replica, however, captures all of the style and panache of mid-century sun-kissed California motoring, added only by the sexy, sexy hum of the future. Motoring con elettrico, baby!

Hooniverse Weekend Edition – How About a V8-Powered Triumph TR4A?
/
Here is another one of those unusual eBay Listings served-up for the Hooniverse audience, and you will either love it or hate it, but I bet most of you will love it. This is a 1967 Triumph TR4A that was converted to V-8 power more than 30 years ago, and the conversion is so sanitary,…

When your right side tires look like these that I saw abandoned in a vacant garage area after today’s Daytona Beach Nationwide race, you know it is Last Call.

Yet Another Day At The Races

So this olelongrooffan spent another day out at the Daytona International Speedway today and did, in fact, score some swag. This time in the form of a NASCAR mandated restrictor plate gasket off

The Car I Would Do (Nearly) Anything to Own.
/
I’m just going to get right to the point on this distressingly (and distractingly) gorgeous February day in the great Pacific Northwest – as long as the bodycount was ultimately less than 10 and none of my limbs were required to be sacrificed, I would do nearly anything to get my hands on a Toyota…

Datsun/Nissan LZ20b DOHC Group 4 Race Motor
/
This 1980 LZ20b race motor is the same type that was originally fitted to the late-’70s/early-’80s Nissan Violet WRC cars, which won the Safari Rally in Kenya for 4 consecutive years. A race-only DOHC conversion of the existing and venerable L-block Nissan motors, this particular one made 210 HP in race trim. Incidentally, it also…

Mystery Car!

Well Hoons, it’s friday and you know what that means. Mystery car! I stumbled upon a vehicle very similar to this last evening when I was 8 layers deep, and thoroughly lost in Tumblr sites (once you go in, it’s damn near impossible to get back out). Despite my best efforts, I could not identify the…

This little gem appeared magically on my Facebook wall last night, courtesy of the incomparable Number_Six. Part of me is screaming “NOOO!“, while another part of me wants it so badly I can taste it.

Hooniverse Asks – The Ferrari Man Behind the Curtain, Acknowledge or Ignore?
/
A couple of days ago Jalopnik posted a rant by automotive writer Chris Harris, in which he exposed the magic behind the myth that is Ferrari. It was an excellent read, which I highly recommend if you haven’t already consigned it to memory, but raises the question – do you give a rat’s ass? The…
