Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – A 1976 Plymouth Gran Fury Wagon to close our Marathon Edition
/
I started this Marathon Edition of Wagon Wednesday with a 1974 Ford Country Squire Wagon, then showcased an interesting 1969 Chevy Chevelle 2-Door Wagon, made you throw-up a little with a 1993 Chevrolet “Majestic Nomad” Wagon, took a European Vacation with a wonderful Volkswagen 412 Wagon, introduced you to the next 24-Hours-of-LeMons IOE winner in…

Attention California 24-Hours-of-LeMons Teams: Instant IOE Winner on Craigslist!

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. It’s European, it has a two-cylinder two four stroke engine, it’s relatively complete, it has a rusty patina, it’s a wagon, and the asking…

Here’s another Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday Marathon posting, celebrating the fact that Spring can’t get here soon enough. While not fitting in with the theme of the great American Road trip, this particular car does fit in with your typical European vacation time in which the average paid vacation is between four and five weeks. So…

Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday – The 1993 Caprice "Majestic Nomad" Wagon

Wagon Wednesday was created here on Hooniverse to expose all of you to some exquisite wagons you may have forgotten about, or a certain project car hell wagon you may want to take home with you, or a historic wagon you never really knew about. Well, throw that all out the window, because I bring…

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…

Hooniverse Asks – What Fallen Car Name Do You Want to See Resurrected to Walk the Earth and Eat Your Brains?
/
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 –…

Welcome to a Marathon Edition of Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. Here on the East Coast, we are currently getting hammered by another winter storm of epic proportions, which promises to pile on more snow to the already healthy totals we already have….. so I thought I would try and bring thoughts of spring and summer vacations…

By Request: The Official Off-Topic Thread
/
The Powers That Be at Hooniverse Galactic Central Command have now received this request quite a few times from commenters from, uh, other sites. While we have never been known for our tendency to cave to peer pressure, we also can’t just be stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. Even if it is our…

Last Call – Can’t Ride, Horse Will Eat Me Edition

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]

Hoonicast #4: Epic Podcast of Epicness Edition
/
The word “epic” is frequently overused to describe things that aren’t necessarily, as Merriam-Webster defines, “a long narrative poem in elevated style recounting the deeds of a legendary or historical hero.” I mean, hell, thanks to the Internet it’s been used to define everything from sandwiches to bucket-wheel mobile strip mining machinery. What’s the fun in…

Build Your Own Gremlin!
/
This little advertisement was used to encourage people to purchase the 1972 Gremlin, perhaps on the premise that once they’d put that much effort into building one, they might as well go and purchase the slightly-bigger version. It didn’t really work. But there is still a silver lining! Because now you can make your very…

Hooniverse Asks- What Car is the Most 'Classical'?
/
Yesterday I asked you what you thought was the most Rock & Roll car, and you came back with some most excellent suggestions from the ambulance they carted Jimi Hendrix off in, to the hearse that was Janis Joplin’s last ride. Well done rockers. Today, we want you to try something a little harder –…

Last Call – Burning Berlin Edition
/
In 2009 supposed left-wing ecco-terrorists started torching cars in Germany’s capital, resulting in mornings full of acrid smoke and public transportation filled with unfamiliar and confused looking faces. Automotive photographer Michael Danner decided to snap the arson results and has since opened an exhibit of the work. The above is a sample. Now, that’s a…

Automobiliac Brings You ELFs Year Round!

No, that’s not a typo as we’re not talking about Nordic folks of diminutive stature. We’re talking about a French oil conglomerate. Back in the Last Automotive Golden Age, they did what any remotely automotive-related company with lots of money should do: sponsored racing! As we all know 1970s racing produced no shortage of kickass…

Hooniverse Asks – What Car is the Most Rock & Roll?
/
Elvis can be most identified with driving a Caddy, and as his last act, the big porcelain bus, but you wouldn’t call either of those Rock & Roll rides, would you? There’ve been tons of rock songs written about cars – from Mercurys to little GTOs and a few deuces thrown in just to be…
