Question of the Weekend: Should there be more choice in Interior Colors?

/
Infiniti recently set up camp at the Olympic Training Center outside of San Diego to show off their totally re-worked M sedan. It now has the swoopy lines and muscular stance that the rest of the family enjoys, but is it an improvement from the previous generation?

Why Vacuum-Assist Makes Power Brakes Work So Well
/
Engine vacuum – that free bit of force that powers our brakes, keeps the headlights down on our Lotus Elans, and provides the myriad of hoses under our hoods – oh what would we do without you?

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…

Hi, I'm a 510 and I hoon

I spent Saturday out at Miller Motorsports Park with a dear friend, walking through the parking lot pit area and watching Porsches from all walks of life race. More on that later, as there was one car in particular that caught my eye…

Visual RPM/Speed Calculator Will Leave you Vroom Vrooming in Your Cube
/
Second only to flogging the living daylights out of our rides, we hoons love to scheme. For every hour spent under the car in the driveway, there are 8 more spend BSing on forums, browsing through catalogs and generally fussing about what we’re gonna do with the Country Sedan Falcon Uberbird Wrangler WRX Trailer latest…

Vintage Rail Inspection Cars: We Have A New Favourite Option for Long Distance Travel
/
Our good friend lilwillie sent in these awesome photos of vintage rail inspection cars. He suspected, as do I, that these might be popular with the Hoons. All I can think is that these vehicles seem to embody the spirit of the Hooniverse pretty darn well.

Mullin Automotive Museum

As Jeff hinted, we ended up on the guest media invites list for the grand opening of the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California. To put it directly, if there’s a finer collection of pre-war French cars out there, you’ll need a passport and a transatlantic flight to see it. As a Southern California resident,…

Burnout Win: Dahlbäck Audi SportQuattro Shows How It's Done
/
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUL6jFvCk8A[/youtube] Okay, this actually doesn’t have a lot to do with a burnout, it’s just generally a video of a very nice SportQuattro showing off, but the clip at the end is a very nice contrast to the epic failure of the Neon earlier. And the soundtrack for this little car is practically music. Nobody…

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…
