newVideoPlayer("DFsaturnjump.flv", 494, 400,""); Another day, another beater car hooned at Dave's Farm. Sure it's not as impressive as the Honda 666 , or the Buick Halfmaster , but who doesn't love seeing a car catching air? It may be a lowly '90s Saturn, but the flat black and flames make up for it.

newVideoPlayer("ZAZ_Donuts2_476.flv", 494, 410,""); We've seen Russian hoons roll a ZAZ and we've seen them smash a ZAZ into a tree . But how about taking the little air-cooled, 26-horse Russian car and adding another 150 or so horsepower? Excellent idea! Of course, when you build such a Zaporozhets, a certain amount of hoonage seems inevitable.

newVideoPlayer("HandBrake_gawker.flv", 475, 350); Sometimes you're the Hoon of the Day because you purposely acted in a stupid fantastic way with the explicit intent of acting stupid fantastic. Other times, you're the Hoon of the Day because you did something accidentally brilliantly stupid. Other times you're the Hoon of the Day just because you decided not to use the hand brake. This would be one of those times. ( Hat tip to J.F.! ) [via Break ]

newVideoPlayer("FlamingTireBurnout_gawker.flv", 475, 376); We've always been a believer that if you're gonna do it, you should do it right, child. Like with a smoky burnout. Don't even think of stopping your brake-mashing, accelerator-jamming burnout until you've dug a 14-inch wide and 6-inch deep crater in the pavement, your tires are nothing but a pile of tiny rubber pellets 20 feet behind you and the rear end of your jeep's a flaming wreck. Like this guy. We're telling you -- that's commitment. And that's why he's the Hoon of the Day .

newVideoPlayer("IcyTruckCrash_gawker.flv", 475, 376); [Jalopnik Public Service Announcement] We're supposedly going to get our first "snowfall" of the year here in Detroit tonight and we thought maybe it could be a good time to remind all of our readers to be safe on the roads this winter. Each year countless millions die of ice-related driving accidents until they are dead and more importantly countless hundreds of millions are left without means of vehicular transportation after going faster than the conditions warrant -- like the poor schlep in the pickup truck here. So remember folks, icy roads may be good for hooning about, but they're not good for your insurance rates. That is all. [/Jalopnik Public Service Announcement]

newVideoPlayer("botcrash.flv", 475, 376); Although the DARPA Grand Challenge has already declared a winner and we've even done a wrap-up post already -- we felt the need to run this week-old video of the Axion "Spirit" racing vehicle taking a left turn directly into one of the human-driven Ford Taurus chase vehicles. Yes, This may be our first non-human Hoon of the Day, but with all our DARPA coverage from the past week or two, we felt it necessary to welcome rather than discriminate against our new robotic driving overlords.

newVideoPlayer("DragBadWeldJob_gawker.flv", 475, 376); With great power, comes great responsibilities -- like remembering to make sure those weld jobs are done right on that rear axle. There's not much more for us to say here other than we haven't laughed this hard since we saw a a 20-year-old GM product up on 30" wheels try to drag at night . We think they're still trying to catch that last tire.

newVideoPlayer("JeepRockClimb_gawker.flv", 475, 376); What happens when you're in a lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee and you take on a big rock a wee bit too fast? Hilariousness happens, that's what. Oh, and your airbags deploy. Also, you look really silly...
