Ride of Frankenstein: Midnight Go-fer Edition

comments
Have you ever been happily minding your own mundane workaday business when you were suddenly blindsided by a mindmelting vision that you couldn’t even dare think to try to make up? Then wish you had a camera and time to make sure it pics-or-it-didn’t-happened, before remembering you do and are therefore in (somewhat questionable) luck?

Name That Part: KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!! Edition

comments
Last time, on Name That Part, I managed to throw strange enough logic at you that I finally made you lose the scent. I’m not sure whether I feel proud of that or somewhat embarrassed.

Despite their ability to pull something like 4 million pageviews in a day, actually pay their staff, or even send them all over the world to cover car shows and the like, there’s a reason we’re glad we don’t write for Autoblog. It’s you (plural): dear readers. Jump to get to the point…

Hooniverse Asks- Which do You Like Better: Closed Coupe or Topless?
/
/
comments
Some people like the feel of the wind in their hair, the sun on their shoulder, and the visceral experience of being one with the elements that a convertible affords. Others like the stiffer chassis, lower level of distraction, and greater security of a closed car. While both offer pros and cons, some people just…

Craigslist Egregiousness: I Have No Idea What the Hell You're Talking About Edition

Quite the box you’ve got there, dude. “apex’i powerfc – $400” Huh? It’s like “Name That Part“, but less fun. Apparently the seller no long needs it because he’s “gone aem ems”. Good for you, man.

PSA Tells Our Neighbors to the North; Slow Down, Eh?

/
comments
This public service announcement from the Alberta Office of Traffic Safety does an effective job of juxtaposing ever darker imagery against a voice-over that facetiously praises celerity. While the cautionary tale plays out in the expected fashion, its ending arrives in an abrupt, but memorable manner. While Hooniverse is all about fast driving, 100-octane contact…

Guess My Fine!

comments
One fine day in September, I was on my way to Las Vegas for a weekend of fun and frivolity… the roads were light with traffic and the sky was clear. The 2009 BMW M3 sedan was built for stuff like this and I was happy to let the car chew up the highway miles.…

Ying and Yang- Or What To Do With all Those MGBs

comments
Here we have two MGBs that are apparently conjoined in a fashion that will make driving either of them a challenge. Siamese Twin owners? Mom unwilling to cut the apron strings? The truth is even stranger.

1963 V8 Falcon Sprint Convertible is the Stray You Have to Take Home
/
/
comments
We’ll open with the stats: 260ci V8, 4-speed, power-top convertible 1963 Falcon. It’s got 5-lug hubs and an 8″ rearend. Quite the platform for a nice classic cruiser. Old Falcons weigh next to nothing, and the 260 would be a nice combo of power and economy, especially hooked to a proper gearbox. With a starting…

Down By the Classy River… A 1969 Mercedes-Benz Van For Sale
/
/
comments
A wonderful Craigslist find, which is listed as a 1969 Mercedes-Benz Camper is just your ticket to sophisticated bonfires and the finest in boxed wine. According to the seller, this vehicle needs a little tender love and care but it does run and can be yours for $1,000. Oh… it doesn’t have any keys –…

Ghostriding the Whip? There's an App for That

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x5IziyOcAg[/youtube] iPhones and cars go together like frat boys and the Clap. We’ve already seen iPhone apps that let you track your car’s performance; an app that lets you remotely start your car; and the cool Zipcar app that’ll honk your rental’s horn so you can find it in the lot. And of course there’s…

The late-60s “Fuselage” Dodge Charger represents a high-point in American Muscle Car style. Opinions to the contrary will be disregarded. That said, how do you take something awesome and make it more so? Go topless, of course!

Well, that was pretty tough, and this picture didn’t give you much to go on, but that didn’t stop Engineerd, with a little help from franchitti to guess it is . . .
