Hooniverse Asks – What Car-Related Story Should Get the Hollywood Treatment?
/
There’s been Tucker, The Man and His Dream, and then there was. . . oh, I don’t know, Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang? Sure there have been a number – a small number in fact – of movies about cars and the people who built them, but don’t you think there could be a whole lot…

Hooniverse Fastback Friday – Avanti, Avanti, Avanti, Avanti!
/
Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Fastback Fridays. Studebaker was already on the ropes by 1960, and in one desperate attempt to be relevant again, turned to Raymond Lowey to design and produce a world class GT car.

At up to 25 feet long, and more than 200-lbs, the green anaconda is the world’s largest snake. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but this road made me think of that. Image source: [Imgur.com]

Welcome to another edition of Truck Thursday, and I will NOT be doing a marathon edition of Truck Thursday because the weather cleared here, and I have to get some work done…..

How Is This Even Possible?

A pileup during Snowpocalypse 2011 (aka Snowtorious B.I.G.) along New Hampshire’s I93 resulted in one of the most implausible accidents we’ve ever seen. Somehow, despite physical probability dictating otherwise, a Ford Fusion ended up perfectly balanced on its nose, sticking straight out of the snow. Click through for the bizarre amateur clip.

We just received this tip at Hooniverse Central from voodoojoo (Thanks, man), and it is just the type of car fervent enthusiasts of the 24 Hours of LeMons participants search for.

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – A Custom 1969 2-Door Chevelle Wagon. Wait… What?

The 2-Door Station Wagon has become something that is very desirable lately. One of the most iconic 2-Door wagons is the Chevrolet Nomad (and the similar Pontiac Safari) built between 1955 and 1957. They fused the style of a 2-Door Coupe with a longroof to create a vehicle unlike any other. Ford tried to follow…

The Geo Metro, Ford Aspire, and Dodge Caliber, all names attache to cars that were pretty crappy, and which have fallen by the wayside due to the undesirability of their underlying platforms. Actually, I think Dodge still makes the Caliber, but its day is due. Many other, greater car names have come and gone –…

The Powers That Be at Hooniverse Galactic Central Command have now received this request quite a few times from commenters from, uh, other sites.

There comes a time in most people’s lives when it’s important to cast off the trappings of youth, no matter how painful the emotional bond. And sometimes you just dump those things because they plain ol’ scare the crap out of you. Image source: [Imgur.com]
