Hooniverse Fastback Friday – The Alfa Romeo GTV-6 Racecars of Alfaheaven.com
/
Welcome to another Hooniverse Fastback Friday Edition. The folks over at Alfahaven.com have been providing a plethora of beautiful machinery that we have been bringing to you, our fantastic Hooniverse readers. Since it is Fastback Friday, I thought this would be a good time to show the GTV-6 collection from these fine and wacky folks.

NASCAR Truck Thursday
/
Hey my fellow Hoons, I am sneaking this post in underafter the wire but, crap, I spent all day out at the track so I’m gonna do it anyway. Besides, the Man In Charge Is Going Out Of Town Anyway. Luckily, this olelongrooffan had no contact with the residents of this Mobile Command facility but…

Um, there’s probably a good reason they check car designers for peyote at the door. Image source: [finalgear.com]

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – Surviving the Zombiepocalypse

Having seen the earlier truck bad-assery here, I decided to wander around the innert00bz and see what else I could dig up.

V.I.S.I.T. Bad Stripe Fest, Day 2: In case you didn't know it's an Olds
/
In yesterday’s Wagon SS V.I.S.I.T. post, I mentioned my strong suspicion that an Olds I had photographed previously in the same parking lot was actually the “Wagon SS” owner’s previous daily driver. I also stated that it had an even uglier custom paint job. This claim caused JacobDFriedman to cast aspersions on my journalistic integrity…

Hooniverse Asks – What's Your Favorite Non-Automotive Tie in?
/
Everybody loves cars. And because of that, a whole lot of non-car companies have over the years tried to jump in the bandwagon. Levi’s AMCs, Warner Brothers Chevy Ventures and Nautica Mercurys, they all added their own indomitable brand identification to the mobile milieu. Whether it’s a stereo system maker, or a company that makes…

Hooniverse Truck Thursday – The Trucks of Alfaheaven.com
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Truck Thursday. This past Sunday, I ran a posting about two very unique cars that were offered for sale on the website Alfaheaven.com. Then Blake ran a posting about the Alfa 164 customized wagon, which was also from this site. However, they also offer quite a few Hoontastic Trucks…

The Same Only Different, A Redux
/
At the risk of usurping the awkwardness awesomeness the W_a_g_on SS featured in tanshanomi’s post earlier today possesses, I thought I would share with my fellow Hoons a couple SS wannabe longroofs I spotted last summer.

V.I.S.I.T. – In case you didn't know that it's a wagon
/
Last October, away before the leaves died and the snow came, I stumbled upon this car parked in the sprawling senior community that I drive through on my daily commute. It had four doors, like a sedan, but with the roof extended all the way back to the rear of the vehicle. I was wondering…

Wagon Wednesday: Italian Adventures in Wagon Cannibalization
/
Last week we featured a Crown Victoria with a bit of an, ahem, “rear end adjustment.” (Not a euphemism, yet.) But if 3400lbs of cobbled-together Blue Oval is too much third-row jumpseat action! for your tastes, may we offer up this example fresh from the Olde Worlde?

Hooniverse Asks – Black History Month, What’s The Best John Player Special Car?

If, in the ’70s, you happened to be a smoker, you’re most likely dead by now. However, had you dodged that bullet and beaten the odds, maybe you’re still with us. In that case, had you happened to spend the disco days on the Continent, you likely chose JPS as your cancer stick of choice.…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – An Aussie with a Japanese Nameplate – The Diamante Wagon
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. I was trying to come up with a unique posting for this week to no avail. There is just so many pristine classic wagons I could show you, or a couple of wacky Craigslist wrecks, or a few eBay postings, but I wasn’t finding anything really interesting.…

Last Call – A Woman’s Place is in the Fast Lane Edition
/
I once participated on a march on the White House for women’s reproductive rights. After the march, we all plopped down in the quad for lunch and my group happened to be sitting next to another who had dubbed themselves dykes on bikes, and featured lots of leather, but nary a beard among them. Thinking…

A Day At The Races, 2/12/11
/
With all respect to the Marx Brothers. This olelongrooffan was lucky enough to score a killer pass to the NASCAR Speedweeks and I thought I would share with my fellow Hoons this olelongrooffan’s experiences on Saturday out at the self proclaimed World Center of Racing, the Daytona International Speedway.

Hammarhead Industries: Introducing "Pier 18" and the Solo X
/
Hammarhead Industries made a splash earlier this year with the Jack Pine, a stripped-down, hopped-up, blackened Triumph Scrambler that feels like it should be followed everywhere by uniformed Germans in Kübelwagens. And to prove its legitimate dirt capabilities, the folks at Hammarhead created this short video: a dusty ballet of supreme hoonage against a backdrop…
