    Our favorite curb-side used car lot had some new product this weekend- a deep ebony 1966 Mustang coupe, with just about every righteous factory option you could want, but at a price you might not want to pony up for.

    Here’s a very typical parking lot – this one happens to be at the Warner Brother’s studios – which is filled with cars you normally wouldn’t even notice if they passed you on the street. But there’s one that kinda’ sticks out, can you find it? Better, do you know what it is? And if…

    Take a car roughly the size of an Oompa-Loompa, toss the original motor, and cram in a L-twin desmodromic Ducati mill channelling the power through the rear end via a six-speed sequential transmission and a LSD … whaddya get? That sure as hell ain’t your grandmother’s recipe for minestrone, now is it? It’s more likely…

    When I was a kid, one of my biggest joys was when the family would make a trek to the store where I could buy a new car model. I preferred the Revell models, but Monogram had some good ones too. While I pine for those days sitting at the dining room table- spread with…

    I know that picture shows a tissue box nestled comfortably in that R/C platform, but I wouldn’t be a true hoon unless the second I saw it my twisted brain came up with nearly endless permutations of what sort of insanity may ensue if you simply put something else in there. Of course, the sixer…

    comments

    Cars and trucks keep getting more and more complicated, but one maintenance job that has remained fairly easy and within the scope of the amateur wrencher is the oil change. As long as you have a level spot, a pan and a jack stand, you can change out the Texas tea with little drama. But…

    A traditional gasoline engine needs a mixture of air and fuel to create combustion inside the individual cylinder chambers (be they numbered 4, 6, 8, or 3 if you drive a DamnElantra®). If you simply let in a bunch of air and an Inland Empire Meth Lab amount of fuel, your car would first go…

    While the Best of France and Italy car show managed to have a representation of most every make and model of car those two countries officially sent to the U.S., as well as many that made it over here surreptitiously, one car that wasn’t present on the grass was the Peugeot 504. Well, we found one,…

    Perhaps it’s because I’m not feeling too hot, but my mind is wandering something fierce today. But nevertheless, I want to poll the populace; if Hooniverse had a coat of arms, what would it look like?
