¡Ay Dios Mio! Could An E-Type Crush Mexico Under Its Cruel Yoke?
/
Europeans have long fantasized about taking over the former Spanish colonial domains, and while I’m pretty sure the Brits never invaded Mexico, this ‘ere Jag seems ready to rewrite history by attempting to pull an Emperor Max and take over the country for a short period of time. And by that, of course, we mean…

Devilleamino – Because those Hearse Kids Need their Lunch Money Stolen
/
Frequently ‘amino-ed cars come with a story along the lines of “Cletus bet me I couldn’t…”, but this one’s pretty straightforward. It’s a 1962 Cadillac-based flower car…basically a hearse-amino.

More rare than unicorn snot and civil political discourse are these aluminum castings that are claimed to be off of the flat twelve that powered Porsche’s insane 917 racer. The seller says they’ll also fit the 935, in case you’ve got one of those in your garage instead. It’s not often that you come across…

The Cape Cod Times is reporting that a South Dennis woman was dragged through a Rte 134 car wash by her Toyota. Carol Burton-Groman, 74, of South Yarmouth got out of her 2008 Matrix, but then was inexplicably drawn back to the car, as if under its spell, and was dragged into the Shell car…

Hooniverse Asks- What Car Would You Like to Drive into a Pool?
/
Jezza did it in a Roller, Keith Moon favored a Lincoln Continental, and just last month a Massachusetts mom canonballed her SUV. Driving cars into swimming pools may not have the national attention of say Dancing With the Stars, but it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining.

Hooniversal Dream Girl – Maria Teresa de Filippis, the First Woman of Formula 1
/
In less than one week, those lovely open wheel monsters will be sitting on the grid, drivers poised, watching for those lights to change to green and then exploding down the track in 2010’s first Formula 1 race in Bahrain. In honor of Formula 1 and because we haven’t done a Hooniversal Dream Girl post…

V.I.S.I.T. – Eponymous Edition
/
Avert your eyes from my pollen-encrusted hood and behold! The mother of all personalized plates: It says what it is. It is what it says. By default it becomes anything and everything you need or want it to be. (And the car it’s attached too ain’t all bad, either. In fact it’s downright appropriate). I…
