comments
Let’s say you’ve got about two ounces of extra battery acid following the replacement of a motorcycle battery. Diluting the sulfuric acid it in water and disposing of it seems a waste. What legal thing do you do with bonus battery acid?

comments
They say fate waits for no man, and we here at Hooniverse believe the case is doubly so when talking of salvage automobiles. When a man buys a massive tow truck and a Bugatti Veyron wrecks within 48 hours, does it mean the Gods of opportunity are calling?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpuweiODHw4[/youtube] As its name implies, the Iron Curtain didn’t let much stuff into Eastern Europe during the Cold War, and it didn’t let much out. Case in point: Most Czechoslovakians in 1956 knew nothing of Western luxury cars like the Cadillac Sixty Special or the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, while most Westerners didn’t know anything about…

comments
We’re all familiar with LeMons racing at this point. Many men in many different cars have won the title, but none have even pretended to do it in a 1966 Sunbeam Imp. $500 gets you a shell and a dream.

Have you ever been happily minding your own mundane workaday business when you were suddenly blindsided by a mindmelting vision that you couldn’t even dare think to try to make up? Then wish you had a camera and time to make sure it pics-or-it-didn’t-happened, before remembering you do and are therefore in (somewhat questionable) luck?

comments
If you stop and think about it, the phrase “racecar for the street” is tossed around pretty liberally. But when, pray tell, was the last time you switched on the boob tube and saw a loud cycle-fendered kit car designed by two English blokes who spend as much time at the pub as they do…

The Most Expensive Water in the World

comments
Say what you want about the price of gasoline; controversy aside, it’s the price of water that gets silly-absurd.

That $1.25, 20 oz. bottle of marketing water is where the local filling station really makes its…

Approximately 82% of you who read this site are here because you love cars, working on them and having fun with them. On an unrelated note, 63% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Make that 64%. Anyway, cars are not, sadly, a particularly cheap hobby. Sure, narcotics, booze, gambling and loose women…

Fear not, fellow hoonigans. This site’s creed shall always be firmly about the weird, the wacky, the wild, the wonderful, the wandering, the unloved, the plebeian, and the occasionally truly WTF (which usually hail from Canada it seems).

Six Toy: Tyrrell P34 Attacks Monaco

comments
Remember the days when motorsports wasn’t all about “parity” or “the show,” and wacky, out-of the-box thinking was not only allowed but celebrated? I do (just), and one of the cars that absolutely typify this era is Derek Gardner’s magnum opus of ingenuity, the Tyrrell P34 F1 car, campaigned in 1976 and ’77.
