WTF Friday: Lucky Camaro Owner

DaveT — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:33:25 +0000

This might be a little old now, I’m not entirely sure, but since I just saw it, it’s safe to assume that all of the internet has yet to see it. Although these pics look super gruesome the drive actually walked directly from this accident to buy a lottery ticket since he has a horse shoe way up his butt.

The story from HD9 WCPO says that the crash is still under investigation but it’s pretty likely that excessive speed was involved. Regardless of what happened the driver is very, very lucky.

From this angle it looks pretty bad but nothing too out of the ordinary for hitting a pole

Air bag deployed always good

Holy shit!

Monday is a holiday here (Family Day!) so I will either be designing stickers or at the Toronto International Auto Show, either way I should have some interesting content for next week.

Speaking of stickers my illest/fatlace package arrived and I am sending out some stickers today after work to San Diego, Tucson, and Hamilton.

Siiiick

Traffic wise this weeks Theme Tuesday is continuing to do really well which I am glad because it took some time to put together and I was somewhat worried that not everyone felt the same way I did about car models. However the response has been good and I am already working on a part 2!

Finally, depending on when you read this I will either have added, or soon be adding Rolling Republic, Racer86, OMG Pancakes, HellaIV and Puregrove to the blog roll, welcome fellas.

Flashback Fridays

These two cars are some of my favorite from the VAG crowd. Low slung and dripping red paint, love it.

I like the Audi just a hair more than the GTI

Bounus!

I found out this week that Clint Eastwood has at least 2 Typhoons. Lucky guy.

Paparazzi should have asked for a ride, I would have

The heli might also be his

WTF Friday: Coming or going?

DaveT — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:44:08 +0000

When I was writing about this weeks totally unexpectedly popular post on the Boso Box I came across quite a few funny looking Boso cars. This one however is really something, the whole Boso thing makes me question what exactly is required to register a car for the streets of Japan…

I’m actually not even sure what kind of car this is a Nissan President maybe? So I guess this car raises two questions WTF is going on here and WTF kind of car is this?

Double the fun!

Not sure why it was done but it's farily well done....

Site Updates

Got another feature lined up for the upcoming week or so and I am planning on installing the word press mobile plug in to make mobile browsing easier.

I think I will be around/near a computer for one of if not both of the days of this weekend so I should be able to throw up some Sunday Swag or Random Dopeness so drop by between drinks, food, fun and friends.

WTF Friday: Layin hull and throwin waves

DaveT — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:19:08 +0000

Saw this one a few days ago and I could hardly wait until Friday to throw it up. Amphibious (which I had to spell phonetically) vehicles have been around for awhile but none have tucked rim while riding waves before the WaterCar Python. This bagged truck can go places that most bagged trucks can’t, won’t and shouldn’t go.

The Python costs a lot, at 200, 000 (which doesn’t even get you a roof or the LS1 dropped in), and I could think of a lot of other things I would buy at that price but it is apparently the ultimate amphibious vehicle seeing that it dos 60 mph on the water the quarter mile in about 12 seconds and zero to sixty in 4.5 seconds. As WaterCar says this vehicle is not for the faint of heart…

Layed out in the water, actually looks kinda dope.

Tuckin Rim!

Doesn't look so great out of the water ...

Not too bad inside

Chicks seem to dig it though

For those of you with deep pockets more info on this bad boy can be found right here.

Site Updates

Well another pretty good week traffic wise and comment wise, people are having conversations in the comments now which is truly awesome. My stickers are still… somewhere… I hope to get them soon and I really hope I didn’t lose my money.

Might go to the c7 fall tour this weekend apparently over 500 cars are going, we will see how I feel Sunday morning did a lot of driving last weekend so this weekend would be great to relax but next weekend it could be winter who knows!

Anyway I might drop a post or two over the weekend so check back or just follow my twitter.

WTF Friday Oct 9th 2009: Name these rides

DaveT — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:42:21 +0000

Taking it back to challenge mode this weeks WTF Friday, I have three rides this week that some of you may have never seen or heard of before. The first people to correctly identify these cars will win a set of stanceiseverything.com stickers in the color of their choice once the stickers arrive from Seche Media (first set got lost in the mail so a new set is en route).

This little mini is pretty scarce in our neck of the woods, bonus question whats under the hood of that blazer in the background?

This one probably isn't too hard for you VW guys

This car has some nastiness lurking underneath

Getting mentioned on Hellaflush last Sunday was a big deal for me (another goal crossed off my list) and helped Stance Is Everything fan Stanley’s dream come true which is awesome.

I have a readers ride waiting to go up, and a new featured photographer in que. I am also working on a little editorial/article that should be out of my head and onto some paper (then the web) soon enough.

No show coverage or anything this weekend (Thanksgiving here in Canada) but I think Keven (who shot these) my gf (who shot these) and I will be experimenting with some rolling shots on the weekend so there will probably be some more exclusive photos next week as well.

For those of you in the GTA celebrating Thanks Giving have a safe one and for those of you who aren’t have a good one anyway.

WTF Fridays: VW Doughnuts

DaveT — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:34:14 +0000

Keeping in mind with this weeks Theme Tuesday of unique motor swaps here is a cool one I found via google. A MK2 Golf with a Porsche motor under the hood making it rear wheel drive and capable of doing doughnuts (and if you felt like it drifting). Awesome!

Unsuspecting flat black mk2 with black flames

Complete tear down/mediablast/repaint

Tucked and shaved engine bay, thing of beauty

Love the wheels and badging.

Dougnut Video

If the above is not working for you click here to watch VW Doughnuts

More info on this ride can be had at badassdubs.com.

This weekend I am not going to any events, again, but this time it’s due to a wedding however I have a few reader submissions I will post up next week so look out for those and feel free to send in your own as well to stanceiseverything@gmail.com.

See you Monday… if not sooner

WTF Fridays: Seriously?

DaveT — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:10:21 +0000

A few cars I have seen over the past week or so that raise the question what they hell were you thinking… seriously!

Great balls of fire this beetle is terrible.

And suddnely Bondo was on backorder

Sad to say this is a local car... nothing flows, daytons, rally lights, drippy paint? Ugh.

Anyway, another good week this week, traffic is on the up and up and I have had a few people from Spain check out the site even.

As far as events go for this weekend I am going to head over to Importfest and Cruisin for the Cure Canada and in between then get some new wheels and tires put on my car that I can rock for the 2 weeks until winter comes…

WTF Friday: The mysterious triple threat

DaveT — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:55:33 +0000

This week I am going back to the other format of WTF Fridays and asking you, dear reader, what kind of cars these three are. Once I get some stickers made I am going to start giving them out as prizes for correct answers but until then this is just practice.

Red rocket! Red Rocket! That episode of South Park is gross. What's this though?

This car means business. Any guesses?

This truck isn't sold in the North American Market if that helps

This weekend I am probably going to swing by a Subaru BBQ with my homie Kev on Saturday and on Sunday I am actually in the Extreme Invasion Car show with team TorontoMazda3

WTF Friday July 17th Answers

DaveT — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:03:31 +0000

I asked a few questions last Friday and it left most (all) of you stumped or silent via the comments (not so much msn). Anyway as to the answer of what last Fridays car was well. I think its some sort of Studebaker but to be honest I don’t really know. The picture is named pretty ambiguously on my hard drive so I am going to have to do a little leg work to figure out what it was. As to which event I went to well…

Does this answer your question

I took over 150 pictures from this event so expect part one of the coverage up today around noon then the other two parts Tuesday and Wednesday.

and the car still up for debate is this bad boy

If I only had a name...

WTF Fridays: July 17th 2009

DaveT — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:25:31 +0000

This week is another two for one event. I have one WTF is that and a WTF? But I also have a question, which event would you rather see covered? Euro Fest or Scrape By the Lake? I can only go to one and from a few people I chatted with it seems like Scrape is winning… Comment both are this Sunday!

Check out the front bumper height and rear tires on this car. Do you know what it is?

Seeing this pull up to the local drag strip would sure cause a few wtfs?

WTF Friday Answer: VW karmann ghia and…

DaveT — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:45:05 +0000

On Friday I posted 2 cars and asked wtf they were. Mike Burroughs from StanceWorks correctly guessed the second car as a VW karman ghia which is a neat little coupe produced by VW from 1955 to 1974. However what was the second boxy looking vehicle? Well…

All I need is a name

No one was able to correctly guess it what it was and when I found it the picture was un labled. One message board I am a a part of a member guessed that it might be a Daihatsu so I spent some time looking at those to try and confirm but I couldn’t find one that looked exactly like this one in body style only similar looking onces. I also thought maybe it was a year of Ford Festiva I was familiar with, or maybe a European edition, but the body is different still. So I regret to inform you that I don’t know what this little dropped recycling box is but hopefully one of you do, lets solve this mystery together!

VW karman ghia youtube finds

WTF Fridays: Two cars what are they

DaveT — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:59:12 +0000

I have to WTF is that? Cars this week. From what I can tell both are European and both have awesome stance beyond that I have no idea.I ask you dear reader what type of cars are these?

This car looks like it belongs in California

It's low black and a VW, but what model
