WTF Friday: Low Budget T-Rex

Thought trikes were a 2013 WTF Fridays thing? Think again because this Cavalier based trike is just too damn 'wtf?' not to post. After presumably being on the losing end of a collision the rear end of this red third generation Cavalier has been axed in favour of a mess of tubing, a large rear wheel, and a formidable wing.

Ten Trends Of 2013

At the end of each year I've always found it fitting to look back on a few of the trends, both on-line and otherwise, that took the car community documented here on Stance Is Everything by storm the last three hundred and sixty five days. If nothing else posts like these are always amusing to look back on the following years to assist in separating the trends from the fads.

Theme Tuesdays: My Favorite Photos of 2013

Can't really think of a better way to send off a year of Theme Tuesday posts than with a collection of my own personal favourite photos of 2013. One day I might go back and count how many photos I take in a season, but I do know it's quite a few so narrowing down my picks was a little difficult but I am pretty happy with the list below.

WTF Friday: Spitting Image

I'm sure, that at some point, most of us, have owned one vehicle while simultaneously wanting another. I'm also pretty sure that very few of us are in a position to purchase vehicle, after vehicle, when our interests change with the passing seasons.

Theme Tuesdays: Tis The Season

Christmas is right around the corner, and even if you don't celebrate there is no denying that the 'Holiday Spirit' is in the air; malls are packed, people have forgotten how to operate an automobile, and Home Alone one and two are on around the clock. This weeks Theme Tuesday celebrates the festive season with a collection of holiday themed photos and art work.

All Killer, No Filler

While on the Los Boulevardos forums getting my fill of builds that are too late, too low rider, and too custom, I came across this really cool 61 Ford Pick up build that was cross linked to the Hokey Ass Message Board. Originally intended to be a shop truck this build snowballed after the animal faeces were removed and things turned out to be a little rougher than the builder thought.

Thowback Thursday: 2012 Boot Hilll Automotive Car Show

Jumping on the #throwbackthursday vibe this week with some 2012 event coverage that has yet to see the light of day. This coverage was originally intended to follow up another unreleased post, but somehow both got lost in the shuffle that was summer of 2012.

Winter Wednesdays: Low All Year

On Sunday I had the 3 out in it's first real 'storm' since it's been on air and it honestly took it like a champ. No frozen lines, ride pressure and height stayed consistent, and she was as sure footed as a mountain goat.

Theme Tuesdays: Wall Taps

Continuing the one two punch of drift related Theme Tuesday posts is this week's edition on the wall tap. Wall taps are always exciting to watch because when they go well it's graceful and elegant, and when they go wrong it's levels of chaos ranging from beautiful to horrendous.

A walk around the Giovanna Booth

Alright, bare with me guys and girls, I know a lot of these cars don't really have the best stance and are just expensive cars with stock suspension and fancy wheels, however I felt if I didn't share this booth with you I would be skipping out an interesting part of the SEMA experience. And since I am doing my best to share as much of SEMA with you as I can I present the Giovanna Wheels 2010 SEMA booth.

Featured Ride: Daves 1992 s10 Blazer

Have you ever had something you wanted so bad that you kept at it longer than you really should have at the dismay of others? You invested so much time and heart into it that you didn't want to let it go no matter how financially stupid it was to keep pushing forward? Well if you have you can probably relate to the story of my old truck and today's Featured Ride.

WTF Friday: Screamin’ Eagle

Anyone who has ever worked in the customer service industry has likely heard the saying The customer is always right. This 'rule' even applies when a customer requests a vehicle that is strong enough to drive through anything in it's path (including an Tornado) while simultaneously being powerful enough to attain a lofty speed goal of 300 kilometres an hour.

Theme Tuesdays: E30s Part II

I can't believe I have only done one e30 Theme Tuesday prior to this. As a former owner and current member of a number of BMW/E30 forums this is down right shameful. Not to mention that the the e30 is such a classic and versatile chassis, they look great dumped and kitted on low offset wheels, but also respond great to functional modifications when let loose on the track.

Theme Tuesdays: VW Harlequin’s Part II

In trying to keep some variety in the Theme Tuesdays (and posts in general) I decided to keep the import and American Theme Tuesdays on the hard drive this week and do something else. Originally the plan was to finalize the Type A Theme Tuesday but after stumbling across the first Harlequin in today's post that was put on the back burner. I never expected this theme to make it to a second round but I'm glad it did.
