By now just about everyone has heard of Bill Caswell, the guy who entered the E30 318is he bought on Craigslist for $500 into some rally and did really well.

[singlepic id=3610 w=720 h=999 float=center] From my recently acquired 1970s automotive magazines, here is a thought provoking Porsche ad. The ad is clearly aimed at enthusiasts and not someone who buys a Porsche because he/she thinks it matches their lifestyle. Ah, the good old days. That said, who does not like the new 2013 911? By the…

At the Detroit Auto Show, in Detroit, Acura showed off the NSX Concept. The car generated a ton of buzz in the automotive industry, and right away automotive experts spewed out a ton of opinions about it. Surprisingly, they were mostly positive, with a few negatives thrown in by those who just had to be…

First off, like some of the videos posted last week, please treat this as a Hooniverse Gold Extra Freebee and not as a part of our regular stuff. If you had the Hooniverse Gold membership, you’d get this kind of awesomeness all the time. Second, we love online car configurators (that’s all Glucker really does), it’s really…

comments
I am afraid of getting old. With age come weakness, sickness, and physical inabilities. Some lose their minds too. The availability of social security is in question, pension plans are nonexistent, and the value of my 401K… I don’t even want to look. I am 35 and I am afraid of the future. And then I watch a video like this and…

From the “wow, this is cool and yet a little bizarre files” comes Ian Cook and his interestingly created car paintings. His works are created using remote-controlled cars which had their tires dipped in paint. Yes, it’s as weird as it sounds but the end results are really cool. Have a look around his Flicker page…

While some people’s idea of an off-road vehicle is cage with a 600hp engine, suspended on long soft springs and 40” tires. I tend to be more reserved. I always wanted an expedition-type vehicle; ability to comfortably travel on- and off-road with family, over great distances. The off-roading would be limited to sand dunes, muddy…
