comments
It’s been a few months, but the wait is almost over- Top Gear begins anew this Sunday night. For those of you with access to BBC Two, you should note that it starts at a non-traditional 9PM GMT time slot this time. What will be traditional is that there’s sure to be lots of Hammond…

Guess How Much this Pen Cost
/
/
comments
What you see here is a genuine carbon-fiber pen with AMG logo on the cap. It’s actually a clever piece of engineering, as the only logo-specific part is the outer trim on the cap. That makes it easy to fabricate versions for whatever company wants to be associated with light, stiff materials. Ironically, it’s actually…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Favorite Road?
/

comments
Most hoons like to drive, and many of us never get the chance to set tire to track. But that doesn’t stop us from enjoying a fine-handling car, and even at legal speeds there’s many a road that can be both challenging and entertaining- in the right car.

Out of Print- Americans Crap on America Edition

comments
Self-loathing is a common indication of manic depression, and a warning sign for potential suicide candidates. If these ads from 1985 are any indication, both Chrysler and GM should have tried to kill themselves by now. Fortunately they. . . oh wait, damn.

Name That Part: High School Math Edition

comments
Math. Back in high school they told us we’d use it every day of our lives. Not believing them, I spent most of my math classes drawing cars in my notebook and fantasizing about showing them to the girls in the class so they could swoon over my mad car-drawing skills. Eventually, I found that…

I hope you are all enjoying this series as much as I am… I love learning more information about things I have a great passion for. Not to mention how much I enjoy finding these excellent old-school videos. They remind me of a time when I would sit and watch Goofy learn something new. Today…

Last Call- Russians Were Plane Crazy
/

comments
While Hooniverse likes to focus on those things that have four wheels and fit in an average garage, sometimes we like to point upward and shout there, up in the sky- it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s too much vodka and national pride! Check out English Russia for more on these Potemkins of the…

Commenter bzr, who has provided us with a plethora of goodness over the last few weeks, has opted to take on a bigger task this time. He’s waxing nostalgic about the performance version of his dad’s old Skyhawk.

Submission Thursday: Cyrobuka

comments
I think we’ve all sketched or doodled our schemes at some point. I had a History prof in University whose voice was so boring, he made Ben Stein sound like Rod Roddy from the Price Is Right. Much drawing and scheming was done. Tanshanomi, however, has taken things one step further. But don’t take our…

If you’re going to send a marriage proposal, please include photographs and measurements. We’re not psychic, and stalking you takes so much time…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Turbo Engine?
/
/
comments
With gas prices through the roof, and eco pod-people calling out conspicuous consumers of dead dinosaurs like they are the un-converted, car makers are once again revisiting the idea of smaller, forced induction engines in supersession of large, gas-hungry motors. This isn’t the first time for this sort of renaissance, and there’s a mess of…

For Sale: The Czech is in the Mail

comments
Today, Skoda is a wholly-owned subsidiary of VAG, but back in 1969 it was still under the auspices of the Soviet-Bloc planned economy, which had forced nationalized ownership on the company, and had cut it off from the west, stifling technological progress and access to modern parts. While the Ruskies and Americans traded narrow-eyed scowls…
