    It has been brought to my attention that the Mystery Car from June 19th was never solved, and neither have I been forthcoming with the answer. Click that link for a refresher. I’d like to take this opportunity to rectify the latter oversight by giving you the facepalm-worthy answer right after the jump. I’m saving it…

    Tomorrow is Independence Day here in the U.S. of A. and that means flags and fireworks and hopefully beer and BBQ. Before we get to all the rockets red glare, it’s your duty – patriotic or otherwise – to try and solve this week’s Mystery Car. Make and model if you please. Image: ©2015 Hooniverse/Robert…

    Seeing as nobody correctly identified last Friday’s Mystery Car by now, I thought it only fair to give you the answer. Of course I also thought it only fair not to spoil it for those still refusing to give up the ghost. That’s why I’m hiding the answer after the jump. Click through to be…

    Do you know when the War of 1812 took place? I know, it was a trick question- it was in fact, on today’s date. The year however escapes me. There’s no escaping the fact that on the same date this year, a Mystery Car contest takes place. That’s a lot more fun than a war, and…

    Happy Friday, everybody! It was on this date in 1923 that the very first Checker Cab rolled off the assembly line in Kalamazoo Michigan. Checker is still to this day America’s most iconic cab, even though the last one left the factory decades ago, in fact all the way back in 1982. You know what…

    On this date in 1940 Ford agreed to build Rolls Royces. Actually, Edsel Ford agreed to a request by the Office of Production Management (OPM) for Ford to produce 9,000 Rolls Royce Merlin engines, intended for American and British wartime aircraft. We’ll make no such monumental request of you, just that you try and solve this week’s…

    June means that the kids are out of school and the white shoes and matching belts are out of the closets. Backyard barbecues are sweeping suburbia while on Wall Street fat cats are selling DEET futures on the likelihood of a strong mosquito season. One thing that remains constant amongst all this change is the weekly Mystery…

    Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood debuted on this date in 1967. I don’t know about you, but I consider Fred Rogers as the epitome of how a human should act, and comport themselves. I’m sure that if you were perhaps flummoxed by today’s Mystery Car, Mr Rogers would have consoling words that would make everything all right.…

    You know, I thought last week’s Mystery Car would be a slam dunk, but I guess I was mistaken. Here’s a little more of that one for you, another layer of the onion peeled back, as it were. I’m pretty sure each and every one of you will get it with this much exposed. If…

    On this date in 1942 gasoline rationing was mandated in 17 Eastern states as part of the expanding war effort. By year’s end, President Roosevelt would mandate rationing for the entire nation. We’re not rationing the fun, and in fact it’s free for the taking with this week’s Mystery Car contest. Fill up on it and guess the…
