Hooniverse : Still Life: Forged in Kenosha, Replaced by a Renault

When you said the Spirit in its natural habitat, I thought the next line was going to say "on fire"

Hooniverse : Who wants a better-than-original all-aluminum 427 Shelby Cobra?

Thu, 7 Jan 2010 15:25:25 +0000

I would rather have the all-aluminum bodied '41 Willys hot rod under the "Custom" tab than the Shelby clones. Ghost flames on polished aluminum looks super kick-ass!

Hooniverse : Found on Craigslist: 1977 Buick Electra

Had a '78 LeSabre for a few years in the early 00's. Mechanically it was a total mess (of course, it was the wheezy Pontiac 301) but I have never owned a car that rode as nice as that one, before or since. I would love to find one of the turbo sixes from this era in decent condition.

Hooniverse : Disco Stu Has a Pinto for You

Don't forget, it's still a Ford Pinto underneath - top speed is probably below the posted speed limit

Hooniverse : Why Must This 440-Powered 1972 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron Be So Cheap?

...just need to get rid of it in the name of making the house payment. I understand - it can be expensive to carry a house AND a barge in this economy

As "Jaguar V12 + classic GM" pairings go, this is equivalent to Michaelangelo's David. Masterpiece.

Cognitive Friction's Motorcar Bazaar is open for business! (Anyone else find it maddening that whenever you click on a category to sort, it sorts Z-A instead of the logical A-Z configuration?)

Hooniverse : So How Many Of These Did You Have?

Our family Hot Wheels/Matchbox collection has moved to the 3rd generation with my 4.5 year old son inheriting dad and grandpa's collections, and adding a few of his own. Some cars from my dad's collection would probably be worth $$ if they weren't scratched and chipped and faded on account of decades of use. Most recent additions - Datsun 510 (he had one but I stole it for my desk at work), new Dodge Challenger, and a midnight black RS6 Avant.

Seconded. My Dart went up on the stands two weeks ago and the wheels won't touch ground again until around Tax Day, 2010. We have three inches of snow already and are expecting 8-9 more in the next 48 hours. Where did I leave that bottle of Jack Daniels?

Based on that picture it's also a sausage party

That auction should come with free boots and a pad of paper for all the ass kicking and name taking the new owner will be doing

Hooniverse : 25-year-late Endorsement, REVEALED!

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:27:24 +0000

I noticed that one right away too. Also, the roof line of the one parked immediately to its right suggests W111... Were these photos taken through a wormhole that can see backwards through time?

Hooniverse : Best Endorsements: 25 Years Late Edition

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:59:59 +0000

VW GTI or Mustang SVO would've been really interesting but I doubt either of those would've come with that option list... I'm gonna go with a loaded 200 series Volvo

That makes sense. Would the same linguistic logic apply to "horse fucker"? /swirls brandy /adjusts monocle

Hooniverse : Infiniti G35-Powered Datsun 510 For Sale on eBay

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:55:41 +0000

I love eBay bidders that post the "Is it safe to drive this car from X to Y?" questions on cars like this. If I were the seller my response would be "For a normal person it would be safe but you seem dangerously stupid so I wouldn't recommend it."

re: picture #3 - I've always written "jerk off" as two words...have I been doing it wrong? I need to know.

Great theme, and I love the way the nose is coming together. More details about that gray wagon we can see in photos 2, 3, and 8 would also be welcome...

Let me add one to the list. This would be for the October race in Joliet, IL: http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/1461966982....
