comments
For those of you unfamiliar with the Your Next Project Car series, allow me to introduce you: I have no garage, limited tools, zero storage space, and a Volkswagen. This means I am wholly unable to start on a new project car, and in fact am restricted in my ability to work on the project…

Mystery Car- Not So Mysterious Anymore

comments
Well, there you go. It didn’t take Superbadd75 long to knock that one from the pinata -it’s the Chevy Super Nova “shark” show car from 1964! Chevrolet has unveiled its latest, built around the sturdy Chevy II, which it calls the Super Nova. Its fiberglass body, finished in “fire frost” silver, has a sloping 7.5-in…

The Most Expensive Water in the World
/

comments
Say what you want about the price of gasoline; controversy aside, it’s the price of water that gets silly-absurd. When potable drinking water is virtually free from taps installed just about everywhere, the value equation isn’t worth debating. That $1.25, 20 oz. bottle of marketing water is where the local filling station really makes its…

Mystery Car- Monday Blahs Edition

comments
It’s a blast from somebody’s past with today’s mystery car. You get to see the whole thing here so no hints, nor cryptic it has to do with Boo-Berry cereal messages. Shouldn’t be too hard- make, model and year please. Answer later, but you’ll probably get it pretty fast.

Name That Part: Saucy Minx Edition

comments
On Thursday’s Name That Part, we relied on grainy picture quality and poor camera angles to stump the Hooniversal Collective — just like they do on eBay! Since nobody guessed it — although one person came close, somewhat — I’m giving the victory to alf — who didn’t come close — for his guess that…

Lamborghini Espada For Sale: I Give Up On These Damn Webers Edition
/
/
comments
Lamborghinis from the ’70s are the tourettes of exotic cars- twitchy, edgy, and with the constant threat that they will undertake some radical dynamic that will end up with you in a ditch wondering what the hell just happened. On top of that, the Bizzarrini-designed 3,929-cc V12 is one of the most temperamental engines to…

Hoonivision: This Hyundai Scoupe Ad Has EVERYTHING!

comments
Disembodied sexy legs!!! A Mr. Miagi body double!!! Turbocharged Hyundai Scoupes!!! Spectacular ’80s soundtrack!!! An autogyro!?!?! Yes, yes, and YES! It’s hard to believe the American buying public gave the Scoupe, a miserable variant of the easily (and deservedly) maligned Excel/Pony, such a cool reception … but if we’d had this Korean-market ad, maybe Hyundai…

comments
Ask and ye shall receive, or so the saying goes. We actually don’t want to know what the question would be (“how can I get my spouse to leave me and take the children?”), but here’s at least one possible answer: 3 Lada Nivas, with burly “made in the Soviet Union” construction and the ability…

The owners of the Motoraunt in Edmonton had a dream, many years ago. It involved the massive engine from a Cadillac Eldorado, a hand-crafted custom double-decker motorhome, and a life of freedom, consisting of simple living, no destination, and the open road.

Living in Southern California, I am guilty of taking exotic car sightings for granted. At any given time here in behind the Orange Curtain, I can be at a stop light with latest from Maranello on one side and something crafted by the crew from Crewe on the other. I am not saying I get…

This father, Preston Dean, from somewhere in your United States, clearly loves his child Conner much more than your father loved you. He spent months creating a costume for his Kindergartener that was a faithful reproduction of a character called “Sideswipe”.
