/

Lewis Hamilton … is a dickhead
/
Let me clarify that, Lewis Hamilton is a dickhead according to Australian Roads Minister Tim Pallas. This comes after Hamilton had his car impounded for doing burnouts last week. Australia has very strong anti-hoon laws and the state government recently launched a “Don’t Be a Dickhead” campaign. The name is hilariously awful, but it seems…

/
This cool infographic comes via Primer Magazine, “the weekly magazine for guys who want to be better men,” and there’s no finer place to start than the inspiration of an entire generation of hoons.

Was That Really Necessary?
/
It’s Friday, so you’re probably in a good mood. We’re here to ruin that with this ’82 Bronco chassis-ed ’98 Eclipse. It’s managed to combine a body kit with 33 inch tires. A bumping single 15″ sub with a Hazzard County grade push bar. The Eclipse strikes a somewhat “urban” note, but it’s photographed in…

Revlimiter.net's Amazing Custom DIY Gauge Faces
/
A friend of Hooniverse passed this along to us, and it was too good not to share with the masses. The tutorial is for a Miata but with some modification it will probably work for any gauge cluster you can throw at it. But it’s not for the faint of heart … are you up…

V.I.S.I.T. – MOAR Armor Edition
/
It’s not every day you see one of these sitting in the Walmart parking lot! Alas I must admit it to you all, I don’t know what it is. I’ve searched high and low, asked some military type friends and well, I got nothin’. So help a hoon out, what is it? How much does…

Well Blow Me Down
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0qeYd5gcnQ[/youtube] After this morning’s discourse of turbos vs. blowers (actually, only roots-style superchargers are blowers) I remembered this video from a few years back. If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty fun, especially when the wheelie bars FAIL. Sadly, they don’t show the big blower running, but the images look like something out of an…

Vote for Pedo
/
Do you need a truck that has an open bed, but still want the anonymity of a van when handing out candy to the neighborhood kids? Well, helpful hoon Tanshanomi was leafing through an old issue of Field & Stream, when he came across this cool vintage ad for Ford’s Econoline pickup. Not only does…

ROLL CALL! Did everyone make it safely into the new decade?
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9765TUiJKls[/youtube] Another year (and decade) has managed to slip through my fingers rather uneventfully. And by uneventfully I mean I didn’t end up dead or worried about dropping the soap. I came. I saw. I fell asleep on the couch on New Year’s Eve and woke up some 3 hours later in a new decade. Personally,…

Holy Crap; Now that's what I call a Big Pickup!
/
The years between 2003 and 2008 were known for a lot of things, but will most likely be remembered as the era of extravagance. Everything had to be big: movies that routinely grossed over $100 million, homes that had bathrooms bigger than most houses of the 60’s, celebrity salaries that outpaced the gross national product…

Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation…
