Jump like a Suzuki Sidekick- wait, we mean like a Chevy Sprint- and vote early and often for the hoonliest hoon of 2007! Warning: many of these videos feature language that your uptight coworkers might consider NSFW.

<![CDATA[Cast Your Vote For Hoon of the Month!]]>

We've managed to scrape up a hoon for every day this month, so now that we're on the last day of International Hoon Month it's time to vote on just who combines guts, cars, and a possibly misplaced sense of invulnerability in the most impressive fashion. The setup is simple: we take the first- and second-place finishers in each week's Hoon of the Week poll and let them compete head-to-head. So throw away your helmet, unfasten your seat belts, start up the $50 car, and jump...

Since we've more or less depleted the Strategic Hoon Video Reserve with our April hoon-a-pa-looza, we may need to throttle back on the Hoon of the Day entrants for May, at least until we can be assured of only the highest quality hoonage. There'll be hoonage, all right, just not every day.

<![CDATA[4/27: Who's the Hoon of the Week? You Decide!]]>

Last week's champions, the Enzed dopefiend Kiwi Laser Leapers, stunned the competion with a best-yet 52% of the Hoon of the Week vote tally. However, our short-term-memory-challenged Ford-thrashers had the advantage of facing neither Arabs nor Scandinavians; this week's hoon crop features an entrant from each of the two hoonic epicenters. Make like a Volvo 244 and jump...
