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…

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…

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…

Meet Eleanor

Yes, “that” Eleanor. The very same white unicorn I have been chasing for almost two months now. They say if you love something, set it free. To those people I say “it rubs the lotion on it’s skin…”

Earlier today I posted a scan from the pages of a Consumer Auto Guide from 1985 with a Junkyard Jumble. Some of you attempted to work out which vehicles were being shown in the image. Hop the jump for your answer guide.

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. The body’s rough and the interior’s shot, but it looks like it’s all there, mechanically speaking. Apparently flower cars are super-rare, so the $3,950 asking price…

Last Call – The 1970s Will Never Die! Edition
/
If there was ever a finer time capsule that could express the 1970s in one beautiful, metaphoric illustration and encapsulate everything that the tumultuous, terrifying, triumphant decade gave us, then I’m afraid to find it.

And Those Hollywood Sprites. . .

One of my buddies lives in bohemian confines of the Hollywood Hills. While out walking his dog, he came across a natty frogeye sprite with a somewhat improvised tonneau cover.

2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT
/
Land, it’s what covers the quarter of the Earth not awash in fish effluence. And as only a small percentage of it is paved, a number of off-road, and off-road pretender vehicles have used Land in their names to embellish their sense of purpose. Land Rover, Land Cruiser, Highlander, and, not to be left out,…
