Crazy

This Miata is the automotive equivalent of the KFC 'Double Down' sandwich. It takes a sound concept (in this case a v8 Miata) and doubles it up into something that isn't very visually appealing and ultimately extremely hazardous to your health. With two Chevy 350s out in the open air and a frame that looks ready to give in on itself safe this probably isn't. But loud, over the top, and obnoxious it certainly is.

The requested 'Turbo Dodge' Theme Tuesday has honestly been one of the most challenging I have tried to pull together because I am trying to not just post the obvious SRT-4 or fudge the lines by posting only Conquests (which are really Mitsubishis anyway). In my search for ground scraping Dodge Omnis and Daytonas I stumbled upon this SRT-4 swapped Chrysler Town and Country that is completely stock inside and out other than the drive train.

Trikes by design are a little weird. They are not quite a motorcycle, and not quite a car and often piloted by people with big beards and awesome bandanas. Today's trike isn't just a little weird it is a lot of crazy and comes from @clintjollygreen via twitter. Clint spotted this single turbo 2jz powered trike at an Ama superbike race in Wisconsin.

In about twenty or so minutes my house is going to be full of people and food for round 2 of Christmas feasts so I don't really have a heck of a lot of time. However there isn't really much that needs to be said about this incredibly awesome custom (looks like Ford based) hot rod that Team Penguin spotted in September. According to the post the owner built what he wanted and doesn't seem to care if people love it or hate it.

Amazed, and confused. Both of those words describe my initial reaction to seeing a rear wheel drive, supercharged v8 powered, Chrylser Intrepid. I guess its not all together ridiculous.Intrepids can't be worth all that much these days and they do happen to have very large engine bays. I've also came to learn that the exhaust tunnel can double for a drive shaft tunnel provided you route the exhaust elsewhere.

Surprisingly this is the second crazy Isetta to get WTF Friday honors here on Stance Is Everything, the first was a crazy mash of worlds Isetta 500 that had a P51 Mustang (airplane) motor driving the wheels. Today's is slightly tamer borrowing its power plant from an 87 Mazda RX-7. Another important difference between the two builds lies in the budget. One is unknown and the other was limited to 2010 dollars as that was one of the requirements of the Grass Roots Motorsport Challenge that it was was built for.

Last Monday Chris Pereira (of the Canadian Sport Compact Series) invited me to locally renowned Subaru tuning shop Can Jam Motorsports to meet 2011 Rally of The Tall Pines winner “Crazy” Leo Urlichich. After a quick stop off at home for a bite to eat and my camera gear I headed back out to Richmond Hill to meet up with Chris who introduced me to Leo. Following a handshake and brief small talk Leo decided I had hung around long enough to meet Beast.

Back in February I stumbled across a Japan-born video on YouTube that features four impressive, VIP-styled JDM Honda Odysseys. Craving more, I did a bit of digging, and soon found myself flipping through a photo gallery belonging to Hoda — the owner of the red Odyssey in the video. Along with Hoda's photo gallery there is one more thing I found: His Twitter account. I followed him. We started talking. And when I made plans to visit Japan to see family, I wasted no time asking Hoda if he was interested to meet in person, he nearly instantly responded "yes".

It has been a long time since I've thought about 'the worlds lowest blazer' (at least five years) but for whatever reason it popped into my head while pulling together last weeks WTF Friday post. This truck is a great example of the extreme measures people were (and still are) willing to take to get their 'perfect stance'. I remember a lot of things about this truck (the extreme body drop, the fender humps, and the Fiero wheels) but a couple of the other details completely slipped my mind.

I've seen and (and normally posted) quite a few crazy builds so I am getting pretty a custom to bizarre combinations of car and motor but this particular one caught me wayyyy off guard. Fabrication aside the owner/builder deserves a round of applause for just getting through the amount of hate that comes along with telling people you are going to dress a 97 Mustang Cobra in 94 Acura clothes.

Before I get ripped to pieces by all of the internet over the title let me just say one thing: I like Rauh Welt Begriff cars. It is just lately I've been bombard at all angles by the same three cars that I needed a little break from them before I end up a drooling twitching mess on the floor chanting R.W.B. for life. That's where this '73 911 comes in, its glossy bright white finish is about as far from R.W.B. as you can get.

I've got a thing for s10s, Sonomas, Blazers, Jimmys, Sy's and Ty's. Those who know me know this, and if you have been reading for awhile you have probably also noticed this as I am no stranger to posting S trucks. However most of the ones I post are not exactly fast (in anything other than a straight line) and wouldn't exactly fall in the Fat and Flush category. This is nowhere ordinary Blazer though, it is a fire breathing, hill course eating, monster.
