Name That Part: Making It Big Edition
/
/
comments
In our previous Name That Part, we gave you a part from a bin of bulk parts; unlabeled, undifferentiated, and remarkably affordable! As such, I had to do exactly the same thing as you, in determining what the hell it actually is. As it turns out, Target29 came the closest. It was a power mirror…

4 Doors, 4 Speed, 4 Wheel Drive: 1963 International Harvester Crew Cab

comments
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.…

You know the myth- a small ad in the local paper lists a Porsche or muscle car of some sort at an unbelievable price. The buyer calls up the seller, who turns out to be a woman going through a divorce. She says that her soon to be ex has run off with his secretary…

Subaru Ad Simultaneously Makes Us Cheer, Feel Ashamed and Need More Popcorn

comments
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QW3bInxgmc[/youtube] Okay, let’s face it, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I generally don’t like Subarus. I’m fully aware that it makes me a little bit hypocritical; despite saying we would like a car to be stripped down with a fantastic engine and platform, when Subaru offers that exact formula I realize I…

Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Trucks; An Idea Worth Repeating?
/
/
comments
Show of hands: How many of you knew that the Dodge Division of Chrysler used to sell a line of huge class 8 trucks similar to the Peterbilts and Freightliners you see on the highways today? Chrysler was trying to compete with Ford and GM during the 60s and 70s with a full truck line,…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCS7CBcHxtA[/youtube] In case you haven’t been paying attention, we love touring car racing. So does Sam Smith over at [REDACTED] Jalopnik, particularly the DTM of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. But even though data collected by the scientific community over the years unanimously supports the hypothesis that it is impossible to front on the…

Hooniverse Coat-of-Arms Contest Update

comments
I’ve heard from quite a few people who are taking part in this contest, and many of you were pleading for me to give more time to complete your masterpieces. Unfortunately, if we give it any more time, we’ll have forgotten what we were doing.

comments
Our good friend Jim Brennan (aka UDMan) over at CarDomain sent us some more of his great photography from the SEMA show a few weeks back. We feel terrible (and by “we”, I clearly mean “I”) that it’s taken this long to actually manage to get them up and posted. (I could be honest and…

Toilet Paper, Candy, and Other Things for Hoons to be Thankful For

comments
Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fellowship, but it’s also a time to reflect. Even our friends north of the border can partake of these sentiments; they’re not betrothed to any one day, even if life’s hectic pace demands a scheduled timeout! in order to fully partake. The sentiment of “thanks” is…

Name That Part: Ridiculously Challenging Edition
/
/
comments
Actually, I’m just kidding. This isn’t really Name That Part, because that would just be cruel. Instead, we’re showing you some tremendously cool artwork that our Manic King sent in. Australian Artist James Corbett creates these weird and wonderful pieces out of scrap parts he carefully selects, cleans, and welds together.

Last Call- Tryptophan Coma Edition

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving down here in this great expanse of kitsch we call the United States, which means that a lot of us will be on the road, visiting people we wouldn’t normally associate with -i.e. our families. We here at Hooniverse have a lot to be thankful for- including all of you fine sirs…

Streetwalking: I See No Way This Could Possibly Hurt Me Edition

comments
Normally, as we all know, I tend to do long-winded rambling articles about whatever it is I find. This time, I’ve got nothin’, other than a fair degree of certainty that this bike would kill me if I attempted to ride it. And somehow, that knowledge makes me want to try riding it even more.…

Special Edition Überbird Shirt Now Available!

comments
Ok friends of Hooniverse… I was messing around with the t-shirt designer and I came up with this new design for the HooniMerch store. It is a bit on the expensive side because it has multiple logos on it, so I apologize for that – but we will consider this one a Special Edition shirt.…

In the last Name That Part, we gave you a generous helping of hints, and the brass ring was so narrowly missed by udman, then finally snagged by VeeArrSix.
