[singlepic id=734 w=640 h=480 float=center] Every Saturday down in Irvine, CA there’s a little gathering called Cars and Coffee. It’s an informal car show where you’ll see everything from LeMons cars to priceless vintage race cars — and everything in between. We fired up the Country Sedan and made the trip beyond the Orange Curtain…

We’d like to draw your attention to this bargain of a 2002 Audi A6. It’s sporting a 2.7L bi-turbo engine, six speed manual transmission and of course, Audi quattro all…

[singlepic id=699 w=640 h=480 float=center] The alternate title for this post was Why I Have the Best Wife Ever. Behold the newest edition to the Mad_Science driveway. You’re looking at a 1964 Ford Falcon Futura. It’s sporting a 260c.i. (4.3L) V8 running through a 4-speed manual transmission. It’s got power nothing: not windows, not locks,…

Ironically, “UberGallery” is taken… And anyway, rather than try to collect a pile of pictures and slaughter the our server hamsters, we’re going to point you to everyone elses work for your own perusal. At this point, you should probably consider your Friday afternoon and much of Saturday shot. C’mon and Jump!

With the Holiday season upon us like a lead blanket, we feel it’s our duty to provide suggestions for the Hoon’s Wish list. Who doesn’t want to drive a piece of military hardware? For a few grand you could run out and buy a 6×6 (seriously, they’re crazy cheap), but the homeowners association might take…

Sunday we were off to a great start. We had our fastest driver (Jeff), at the wheel and the car was running like a top. We were in the low 60s, place-wise, and climbing. Alas, he picked up a black flag after being waved by to pass…under yellow. Luckily, it’s just a driver swap and…

Ah…the classic problem of the “city car”. Most people’s daily driving could be handled with a compact 2-seater with a range of about 50-100 miles. This is a concept we here at Hooniverse support. After all, it leaves more money and gas for the 427 powered Sunbeam or Cummins-swapped International crew cab weekend project. Alas,…

1960 Power Wagon Offers an Odd Mix of Panache and Indestructability

Apparently it’s Classic Truck Day or something. Nowadays we’re all used to fancy-dance trucks that never see a day of hard work in their pathetic, suburban lives. However, I’m told that back around 1960 trucks were used for work and not much else. There’s no need for stylish frippery when you’ve got apatasaurus legs to…

There are trucks, and then there are trucks. This is the latter. It was used to plow snow, but it’s been sitting for a while. According to the seller, the rust is light. In our minds, it’s really a toss-up between getting that old International V8 spinning again and swapping in something more Cummins flavored.…
