Estonians Give Russians a Run for their Kooky Snow Vehicle Money
/

comments
When we think of Estonia, we think of…umm…trying to remember which one’s which between Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia when placing them on the map in northeastern Europe. That, and cyber-war. What we don’t think of are Passat monster trucks. That’s right. Jump!

V.I.S.I.T: A Bizarre Lincoln Limo spotted in New York
/
/
comments
Call me a little lazy, but I just discovered these images on my “Crackberry” that I took when I was at the New York International Auto Show that happened a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it’s a rolling advertisement, with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe to it for the bar called Jekyll and Hyde.

Warning: No Lifeguard on Duty

comments
Some car washes offer brushless cleaning, others tout “hand wash” but if you really want your Mazda to be summer fresh, nothing beats a full immersion in the clorine-rich waters of an apartment house swimming pool. That’s perhaps what the driver of this hatchback 3 thought as he knocked down the fence and bellyflopped into…

What does the AP Style Guide say for a Pimped Out Accord?
/
/
comments
Brooklyn teacher Amanda Pogany had her 1996 Honda Accord stolen three years ago. Recently, she had it returned by police during a chop-shop raid, and like the world’s longest episode of Overhaulin’ the plucky thieves had added a few optional extras: a Honda H22 VTEC engine and 5-speed transmission swap, for starters. The enterprising thieves…

Hooniverse Asks- Who Has Had The Most Disappointing Racing Turn?

comments
Now that Danika Patrick has had a couple of turns of the wheel in NASCAR, where things generally haven’t been going her way, she’s gotten all pouty about the whole thing. But there have been other drivers who have made even less auspicious debuts, and we want some suggestions as to the one that was…

Since we don’t really have any memes of our own (that I can think of) I’m going to go ahead and coin the term Doin it Chevy-style. Have at it in the comments. Special thanks to CptSevere for the photo.

Still Life: Forged in Kenosha, Replaced by a Renault
/
/
comments
Sometimes it’s hard to believe the AMC Spirit was canned in favor of the Renault Alliance. So what if it was a freshened-up Gremlin with an optional 5.0L V8? I mean, just LOOK at it – the Spirit in its natural habitat, surrounded by that endangered species known as American heavy industry. They will always…

Best Marque Name Ever? Deep Sanderson 301 Le Mans Coupe

Of all the minuscule British racers with awesome names (Clan Crusader, anyone?), I happen to think that the Deep Sanderson 301 has the field beat on absurdity alone.

WTF GTR?

comments
We’re a pretty inclusive bunch, not really ones to pass judgement on others’ style. That said, we’re gonna go ahead and say it’s not ok to cover the dash and package shelf of your GTR with cutesy stuffed animals. Also, the only god that comes to mind in this case is Koalemos. The worst part…

It’s hard to say which is more egregious- putting eleventy million mirror squares on your Pinto, or driving it in traffic on a sunny day. Image source: [motortrend]

Mee-yow! The San Francisco Craigslist (Where do they get those wonderful toys?) has an uber-rare Jaguar XJ220 for sale, and this is one cat that’ll make you question the whole idea of the your dog being your best friend.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_Mj0IMStU&feature=popt02us0e[/youtube] Winter weather got you down? Go race! In the snow! Everything about this video screams hoontastic from the beater Camaro full of motor to the beater M3…. full of motor. And the fact that there is no douchebag commentary or background music is icing on the cake!

Why the New Chrysler Ads Suck; The Closing of BBDO Detroit in January.
/
/
comments
Have you noticed that the Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Chrysler ads seem to suck? I mean the Jeep “I Live, I Ride, I Am” and the “My Name is Ram, and my Tank is Full” television spots are truly horrible. I guess this is inevitable since some of the most memorable advertising campaigns originated when…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Eleanor?

comments
You all remember Eleanor- the GT500 that vexed Nick Cage so in the mind-numbingly banal Gone in Sixty Seconds remake? While that film had little going for it other than a passel of great cars and Angelina Jolie’s throw-pillow sized lips, it did bring a new term into automotivedom’s lexicon- that of Eleanor, a mythical…
