Small Car FAIL- Just Tie it To The Roof Edition

comments
In Romania the cars are small, and apparently the drywall is big. This of course goes against the speculation that if you can afford a home with high ceilings, you can also afford the Home Dacia delivery service.

Team Uberbird Hits the Road!

comments
[singlepic id=495 w=640 h=480 float=center] Those of you who suspected today’s Name That Part was LeMon-flavored were correct, and commenter “Tiller” was more correcter than most, as (s)he called it perfectly: “Der UberBird’s wing, shot from below”. Tonight we’re putting some more finishing touches on our be-winged and be-noseconed steed, then hitting the road headed…

For those of you who did not grow up in a town that was made up of over 80% families of Italian descent, that probably makes no sense.

Civil Discourse- Notes Left on Cars Edition
/
/
comments
Actions speak louder than words, however sometimes our actions – such as parking like a peen – can generate a slew of words that typically find there way onto angrily-jotted notes pinned under an offender’s wiper blade. Theangered.com has a collection of ten of the best, and while most are aimed at denigration of the…

Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best In-Car Gadget?

comments
Once was the day, before infomercials made us feel inadequate over our lack of super-absorbent ShamWOW! Back then, in-car entertainment was limited to AM radio, in-car dining usually involved an external tray and a girl on roller skates, and while you couldn’t tell with pin-point accuracy where on the globe you happened to be positioned,…

Name That Part: Sneak Peak Preview Edition
/
/
comments
Clearly the last edition of Name That Part was far too easy; the first guess nailed it exactly. It was indeed a Borg-Warner overdrive cable, so credit goes to CptSevere, well done to you! Nobody was able to tie in the relevance however. As such, I’m going to dedicate another article to my rant on…

comments
Smokey Yunick was a legend among racing mechanics, and he took the art out of rule-bending to new heights. One of his greatest mysteries was that of his adiabatic engine. Originally conceived after slipping off the toilet and hitting his head back in the 50s, Smokey claimed the engine achieved unheard of levels of performance…

Even More Craigslist Egregiousness- The Project Z
/
/
comments
Once again, we have come across a Craigslist ad that stretches the credulity of the term project. This $1500 Datsun 240Z has been stripped of both its dignity, and its engine, which has gone the way of Elvis apparently. Better described as a collection of Z parts, the ad claims that the interior is in…

There’s a guy I know, let’s call him Jim, who upon seeing the umpteenth strip mall in a row, more than 5 minutes of network TV, or a stretch Hummer limo full of homecoming royalty texting to each other from across its velveteen interior, is liable to shake his head and mutter about the “cultural…
