    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…

    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…

  • 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…

    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…

    …It’s time to make LeMonade! All too often we come across some crazy beater on Craigslist that’s just begging to go out in a blaze of glory. That, or it comes with a ready-made theme too awesome to pass up. Regardless, it’s tricky to wring 150-ish words of description out of 3 blurry cell phone…

    comments

    In urban Italy, every traffic light is an opportunity for a drag race to the next, and the Latin machismo order of the hairy chest is ordained to whoever wins the block-long run. For decades, Italian car owners have tuned and tweaked their tiny cars to provide an edge in these impromptu street contests, and…

However, as the…

    Ever looked at a dilapidated FWD car and suddenly … PAH! … it hits you that the majority of the sheetmetal and a couple of the wheels are just dead weight? Wouldn’t it make hooning that boring Suzuki Swift much more fun, dangerous, and most of all, dangerous, if you just hacked off the back…
