Mystery Car
/
Okay ladies and germs, time to fire up that old Google image search and see if you can match the picture above. Let’s see if you can give me make, model, country of origin, engine type and drivetrain. You all are pretty good at these things so I expect the correct answer will come in…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Indy Pace Cars from 2000 – 2010
/
In observance of the annual Indianapolis 500 Race that took place over the weekend (and was historically run on Memorial Day) I thought I would dive into a pictorial history of the cars that paced this once great race. This is the final chapter in this series, and it discusses the Pace Cars from 2000…

V.I.S.I.T. – Spawn of Scottish Militant Left-wing Shipbuilders Edition
/
I’ve written about the troubled but awesome Imp before, but I’ve never seen one off the track (where they’re less troubled and more awesome, generally speaking). And then this little bastard comes into view, parked in my new mecca for automotive randomness, Ballard.

Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions Part 6: Horsepower and Torque, I Do Not Think it Means What You Think it Means
/
Imagine a pile of art critics debating the merits of a given painting without knowing the difference between blue and red. Imagine judges at a dog show not knowing their labradors from their spaniels. Silly, right? Yet you’ll find an infinitude of vitriol spilled over why only idiots would prefer low-end torque or high-end horsepower…

V.I.S.I.T. – The Dodge that's worth taking a second look!
/
This is my first V.I.S.I.T. posting for Hooniverse, and I have been saving up this gem for quite a while. Since this category is suppose to be “Vehicles I Saw In Traffic”, I’m going to rename it for my purposes as “Vehicles I Spotted (while) In Transit!”, because this jewel was not in any traffic…

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…

Ahhh, this was buried deep within the bowels of my e-mail account, and it looks like once again, Mike The Dog has come through with some beautiful images. This event happened on May 23rd, so I say better late than never. More Images after the jump!

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Ugliest Car Sold today?
/
Styling appreciation is subjective, and while we can have to-ma-to/tom-ah-to arguments on the merits of scoop placement and tire diameter to wheel opening ratios, there are some cars that most of us can agree, are just plain fugly.

Bristol Palin, Your Car Is Ready

Perfect for chasing down meese, this vehicle was tracked down by our beloved bzr. Honestly, we’re not entirely sure what it was that he was searching for when he stumbled upon this, but however it happened, we’re glad he found it.

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…

Jalopnik Unveils New Manifesto, We Pontificate
/
In case you missed it (or didn’t click on the post b/c it looks like something about with Tom Cruise), Jalopnik’s grand panjandrum Ray Wert just unleashed 13 paragraphs of…something. A mix of mea culpa, mission statement and call-to-arms, it seems they’ll be taking a more focused direction. Our thoughts after the jump.

Hatchback Utility, V8 Power, Horrible Build Quality: V8 Chevy Monza
/
Due to when I was born, when I think of crappy GM products, I think early 90s Cavaliers or Luminas; mostly vehicles that were crappy due to boringness or what they could’ve and should’ve been. By the time I was on the road, there were few truly defective cars to be had. I’m told GM’s…
