WTF Friday: Trabantimino

DaveT -
Skimming through my rss reader I caught a glimpse of a very peculiar looking Trabant playing second fiddle to a sharply dressed model. Instantly intrigued I set out looking for more and was shocked to discover that the model in the picture wasn't just a model but was the builder as well.

Japanese Methodology

DaveT -
These days the Japanese car scene receives a lot of online attention. RWB, Rocket Bunny, and Liberty Walk, are covered so thoroughly that, if I were to be completely honest, they have almost begun to lose some of their allure. What's a little less exposed is Japan's take on tuning styles that are more commonly done this side of the pond, and from the brief glimpses I've seen Japan's mini truck scene is an underexposed mecca of awesome.

Theme Tuesdays: That’s Static!? (Pt.1)

DaveT -
Weighing in on the static vs. air debate isn't really something I like to do because I feel people should get down how they get down and not worry about how, but I will say that there is something to be said for a clean static car with spot on fitment. I'm not talking cars that are easily identified as static from fifteen feet away due to smashed bumpers, questionable panel gaps, and catchy slogan covered munched quarters.

Performance Improvements Does the Texas Mile

DaveT -
To celebrate their 50th year of operation Andy McJannett and his brother Rob McJannett, sons of Performance Improvements Speed Shops founder Bob McJannett, set forth on a road trip from Toronto Ontario to Las Vegas Nevada for SEMA 2013. After a little bit of trip planning on their Parrot Asteroid the brothers McJannett noticed that the famed Texas Mile was 'almost' on the way, so in the name of speed they made a little detour on their way to the city of sin.

WTF Friday: Big Block, Little Car

DaveT -
In the 70s Street Machine Theme Tuesday I mentioned that the Street Machine look was pretty versatile, and could be applied to basically every kind of car imaginable. Case in point the 75 Honda Z600 found in today's post.

Theme Tuesdays: On The Bumper

DaveT -
The way I see it there are two ways to put a car up on it's bumper. A talented person with a switch box manipulating the flow of hydraulic fluid, or raw stump pulling power. In my opinion both are awesome and as such both are showcased in today's post, enjoy.

Event Coverage: Sema 2013 – Part. 5

DaveT -
Chances are pretty good I am going to say this every year I don't go for the rest of my life but, I really wish I went to SEMA this year. The feeling of missing out only intensified when I took some time this weekend to take a second pass through Rob's photos from SEMA 2013. Unfortunately until I've got some wealthy mistress bank rolling the site I'm going to have to keep the every other year thing going a little bit longer.

WTF Friday: Worlds Collide

DaveT -
Because of their relatively low price point and ease to work on, people do a whole lot of things (both good and bad) with the Chevrolet S-10. While I've posted countless great examples on the site through event coverage and internet finds, I've probably posted a good half dozen or more questionable ones here in WTF Friday category.

Winter Wednesdays: Ready For Whatever

DaveT - 5
Gotta hand it to Volkswagen guys, especially air cooled drivers, because they prove time and time that nothing phases them. Low + Snow? No problem Low + Snow + Ragtop? Snow problem there either. Makes me feel like a sissy for using the heat in my car.

The popularity of rubberzied coating (aka plastidip) and vinyl wraps has given birth to the widely used hash tag #paintisdead. While I don't take...

WTF Friday: Jet ski fail

DaveT - 1
Jet ski's are a lot of fun, provided you don't flip them in the middle of the lake and have to get towed by a fishing boat back in to fix it, but getting them to and from the lake can be a bit of a challenge. Getting it out of a lake becomes more of challenge if you don't have a proper trailer to do so. These two guys almost had a method worked out to but then mother nature, gravity, and common sense took over which resulted in a nice little fail.

Event Coverage: 2012 CSCS Round 3 Part 2

DaveT - 2
Continuing where things left off yesterday today's coverage consists of  the cars that caught my eye in the pits along with coverage of the show and shine. The Round 3 show and shine was actually a lot larger than these pictures illustrate but once the weather took a turn for the worse I focused my efforts more on track coverage and staying dry.

Youtube is on to me…

DaveT - 1
I've noticed that whenever I go to youtube that my recommended videos are of slammed cars, bmx, and girls.Is big brother watching or am I just that predictable? Either way I guess I should thank youtube for the content today since I am slammed at work and could only offer a little hit and run.
