The Iconic Roadster
/
Last week was the first installment of Modern Art Monday, and we took a look at the taillight of the Jaguar XJ. Today we are looking at an entire vehicle. The Iconic Roadster is a low-volume, high-horsepower monster that takes the style of the classic AC Cobra and turns it into a modern work of…

If you enjoy viewing images of auto related stuff included in the images above, my fellow Hoons will probably want to make the jump to see more.

'79 BMW 635CSI, for You, We Would Jump Through a Thousand, Million Hoops
/
California’s Smog control policies get a mostly undue bad rap. First off, everything ’75 and earlier is a free for all. Post-’75, you have to pass a visual inspection and the sniffer test. It’s also pretty easy to do engine swaps, provided the new engine is from the same model year or later and still…

Caption This: Back To The Future Of Saskatchewan Edition
/
In celebration of the fact that I finally have Interweb tubes back into my house again, I present you with one of the first things to cross my desk the moment I got reconnected. Now, you know me, I love to ramble on at length about the most trivial of matters; in this case, however,…

Obscure, Poorly Built, and Slow, the Gilbern Invader Still Best Welsh Car Ever
/
OK, so Gilbern was the only Welsh marque ever, but even so, just look at it! The Mustang-meets-Longchamp lines, the gaping maw inhaling a gryphon, the howling Essex six-pot up front … it’s positively nwydwyllt, in the local vowel-challenged tongue.

Awesomeness… Now in Model Form.
/
Earlier this year we presented the wonderful work of Michael Paul Smith. His pieces are elaborate and amazing. They are also incredibly clean. What if you are a car nut who is more attracted to greasy grime and rust instead of gleaming chrome and polish? Well get ready to be astounded…again. May I present to…

Meet the Newest Hoon on the Block
/
This week saw the addition of Zach Bowman and Ms Amber to the Hooniverse writing crew, but there’s a third late addition we’d like to introduce. Meet Henry Marshall Odell, aka Mad_Science_Jr. All 8lbs, 6oz of him and his ridiculous hair arrived Friday morning. Mom, baby and dad are doing well. Also, we can see…

Showdown: Old Black is the New Black Edition
/
At the risk of being obvious, we’ll go ahead and claim there’s no better color for a car than black. No other shade means serious business like black. Had one of the Stallion Starions from our last Showdown been black, it would’ve been the clear victor. We’re curious how you’ll pull the lever on today’s contestants,…

Yesterday, we discovered about the Chevy Engineered V6 Chevette that had no chance for production. Next up is my interview with a racing legend, and a true Chevy Enthusiast, John Cooper Fitch.

Rt. 11 U-Pull, Northeastern PA's Newest Junkyard
/
Driving along Route 11 through Northeastern PA, you don’t expect to see what I’ve drooled over seen every weekend for the past nine years. Tier after tier of mostly German cars nestled between the trees, stacked on top of each other, all grouped together (mostly by type) as far up the side of the mountain…

Automotive Traveler; A Website with a Quiet Difference
/
The Automotive Blogosphere seems to be filled with fan sites, empty content, and snarky comments. I have been as guilty as anyone in pushing the type of babble that permeates the big name websites, and almost all the sites have the same formula, well except this one that is. You know the drill at other…

Play The Car Transporter Game!
/
Okay, so it’s not really all that much of a “game”, per se. There’s no prize, no winners or losers, and no penalties if you get it wrong. So in that sense, it’s like any game intended for children today; we want to ensure that we preserve your self-esteem. As we all know, whether you…

Showdown: Dig These Groovy Gassers!
/
In our last showdown, the Volvo C30 shunted its two competitors into the weeds for a commanding 56% of the vote. Today, we’re reducing the number of choices so as not to confound addled pre-vacation brains. Two groovy gassers will go neck-and-neck in the Hooniverse drag strip of public opinion – who will prevail?
