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,…

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?

Last Call- Twice the Trunk Space Edition

What’s better than one Ford Contour? Why one and a half of course. If you’re an A/V company looking for a place to store some of your junk in the trunk, then this guy wants to talk to you. Madison Craigslist.

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: What is it with lifted Sportscars in Massachusetts?
/
Being a native New Englander, I am never surprised by what comes out of the most uptight part of the country. Yes, I call this the land of the Cranky Yankee, yet there are some glimpses of people who have escaped the Hoon Asylum. Here are two examples that were found on Craigslist, thanks to…

Blogging the Bloggers: CarDomain's Jen Dunnaway
/
We are lucky to have Amber as a contributing member for Hooniverse, but in the world of Automotive Blogs, the number of women either contributing or editing are far too few. I have been lucky enough to know three others who are among the best automotive writers in the blogosphere; Brandy Schaffels (who is currently…

Auto Racing Must Be Outlawed!
/
[singlepic id=1541 w= h= float=center] This was the rally cry of senator Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon, in this January 1959 article from Mechanix Illustrated. Four years after the Le Mans disaster, a year Brock Yates labeled “one of professional sports car racing’s worst years,” Neuberger decried auto racing as “wanton, tragically unnecessary bloodshed.” In…
