comments
Well…not me. Most of you know that the term “hoon” originated in Australia. It can conjure mixed emotions down there since it refers to folks who drive recklessly. Here in the states we have adopted it and I feel it best describes someone who has a passion for driving. One Australian I can think of…

We are lucky to have Amber as a contributing member for Hooniverse, but in the world of Automotive Blogs, the number of women either contributing or editing are far too few. I have been lucky enough to know three others who are among the best automotive writers in the blogosphere; Brandy Schaffels (who is currently…

Checking out car culture from other countries is always great. After we discovered just how awesome their cars are, Sweden’s recently made a big jump to tie Australia on the list of places we’d live if not in the Good Ole’ USA. Speed:Sport:Life recently did a hilarious piece on how to be a British auto…

You guys may remember that there was a battle for the Editor in Chief position for Ride Lust a few months ago in which I competed with what turned out to be my LeMons partner, Mike Musto. Yes, he was hired over there, and I wished him the best of luck when we met up…

Friend of Hooniverse MikeTheDog, who is in fact not a dog at all despite the confusing facial scruff, recently attended an automotive get-together at a Ypsilanti warehouse. It turned out not to be a collection of modded Z’s, BMWs with aftermarket wheels, and MkV Golfs with rusted hoods. No…this was a show.

Automotive Traveler; A Website with a Quiet Difference

comments
The Automotive Blogosphere seems to be filled with fan sites, empty content, and snarky comments. I have been as guilty as anyone in pushing the type of babble that permeates the big name websites, and almost all the sites have the same formula, well except this one that is. You know the drill at other…

About a year ago, Rich Truesdell ran this piece on Automotive Traveler, and as a contributor to that blog, I thought I would share it with the readers of Hooniverse. So sit back and re-discover the Front Wheel Driven, Oldsmobile Powered, GMC designed Motor Home from 73 to 78. So, without further interruptions, I’ll let…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: 1970's Super Coupes? Car Lust's Take on the 70's
/

comments
We all know the 1970’s offered lackluster cars, chocking emission regulations, and bumpers that rivaled guard rails in their size. It was also a time in which there were quite a number of Import Coupes catching on, and I discovered this little piece from the guys over at Car Lust.

Good friend of Hooniverse Leo had the chance to live out his Jeremy Clarkson fantasies (of which he has many) when this lil’ fella showed up at the recent Cars and Coffee Irvine. If the license plate doesn’t give it away (seriously?) this is a very nice replica of the Peel P50. Peel manufactured these…
