Smokin' Hot Italian Seeks Marriage to Stay in the States

Nicolas Sarkozy did it, and now so can you. Offered up on the Manhattan Craigslist is a not-for-U.S.-consumption Alfa Romeo 166. The 166 is Alfa’s big sedan, having replaced the 164 – which was sold here – in 1998. Powered by Alfa’s sweet, sweet 225-bhp 3.0-litre V6, this 2003 edition is knocking on your door…

Corre! Viene El Diablo! 350-Powered 914 Will Eat Your Soul
/
The 914 is widely regarded as the best handling sports car no one loved. As always, Ate Up With Motor has a great writeup, for those interested. Getting back to something more Hooniverse flavored, this car (“El Diablo”) throws all that handling balance and subtlety out the window in favor of more cubes. Specifically 350…

Hooniverse-Chorus-Verse: Music Video Edition
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUqRkWaXJRA[/youtube] Back in the day I was a pretty big AC/DC fan, and when their concert movie Let There Be Rock was being shown in Hollywood, I talked some of my buddies into going. Featuring the late Bon Scott, the concert footage is, like AC/DC’s music, pretty raw. I don’t remember the whole movie (we…

What’s Your Eleanor? – I’m Such a Square Edition
/
My greatest love of all is an old, boxy lump of metal with a weezy little 1600cc motor. It screams early 1970’s middle class suburbia family wagon. I’ve seen molasses in winter move faster. It has a face only I could love and yet I lust after one, each and every day. This one here…

Looking through the “Other Makes” section of Ebay recently, I noticed a couple of listings that were just a little curious, and I thought I would share. One is a “Concept Car” the other is a car with a new “Concept”. OK Jim, what are you trying to say? Well, make the jump to find…

The Art of Cornering

Hooniverse Asks- If You Could Run Any Car Company, Which One Would It Be, And What Would You Change?

Let’s say you’re walking done the beach, and you come across an old oil lamp. Picking it up, you rub the side to clear away the grime and seaweed and out puts a genie who awards you for freeing him from the lamp with one wish (it used to be three, but times are tough),…

2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
/
I want to admit this to you right off the bat; I’ve never been much of a Corvette fan. I always thought the C1s were cool, and the C2s were kind of bad ass but the rest of the lineup does nothing for me. That is until I drove my first Corvette two years ago…

The above situation is about to go from a fast drift to a furious face full of asphalt. Friends-of-Hooniverse, HellForLeather found a nice photo sequence of a highside from the aggressive start to the (thankfully) thumbs-up finish. The shot above is just one in the series, head over to HFL to see the whole series. Bonus…
