A little over a month ago Toronto chapters of the Majetics and Luxurious lowrider clubs hosted their annual summer BBQ. I had another BBQ earlier in the day so I missed a little bit of the festivities (hop off), but still had enough time to get my annual fix of wires, murals, hydros, and candy paint. It's always such a relaxed vibe at these events and the build quality of the cars is second to none. It's seriously mind blowing the amount of time and dedication that goes into these cars and that's exactly what keeps me going back year after year.

In late July the Vossen World Tour passed through Toronto stopping at Ertefa, Importfest, Niagara Falls, and Taylor'd Customs taking pictures and video as they travelled. I've been a fan of Vossen's video work ever since this video released in 2012 so I popped in on their shoot to peak at the method behind the madness.

It's been a few months since the last The Stance Is Everything Store update and today I am proud to announce that the 2013 fall lineup has officially arrived. Over the last few months I've been researching local vendors in order to bring you guys the highest quality possible in vinyl and apparel at reasonable prices.

This has got to be a first for WTF Friday; a mid engine car that's been created by simply moving the motor from under the hood to behind the front seats. Built by a Denver based 'master Saab mechanic' this 900 appears to have no other visible modifications outside of reverse mounted wheels, a makeshift firewall, and a vent added to the roof.

Historically Vagkraft has been a show I have always enjoyed due to it's laid back nature, great organization, and incredibly large turnout. Last year I ran into a bit of a scheduling conflict and was unable to attend but this year I cleared all that up in advance so I could head over to the Powerade Centre for a few hours and see what was up.

I'm not exactly sure how or when it happened but BMX riders have managed to successfully infiltrate nearly every area of the car scene. From pro level riders with awesome cars, to pro level drivers with a bikes they tinker with during the off season, the BMX/car crossover is simply impossible to ignore.

The 2013 Toronto Fitted Lifestyle event brought together some of the finest cars the GTA has to offer and one car that stood out among the field was Mathew Barrada's immaculate s14. Shimmering in the sun the way only a car coated in pearlescent paint can it is a stunning example of the less is more philosophy. Every time I've seen the car since it has never failed to catch my eye and today via the lens of Chris Johnston this stunning s14 is visible in a non show setting.

While I was at Torque Modified, a little closer to home in Mississauga Tires 23 was holding a charity BBQ/show and shine as a show of thanks for the years of support they've received from the community. In addition to free food, the event had speciality trophies, giveaways, raffles, and live music and at the end of the day Tires 23 raised $1,022 for Credit Valley Hospital.

While browsing one of my favourite threads on s10forum (most hacked shit ever seen)  I stumbled upon this truck that at a first (very quick) glance looked like a cool project but as I scrolled down I was reminded exactly what thread I was browsing through. Bodied, tube framed, swapped, and RHD this truck has all the right ingredients for cool truck but the overall execution leaves just a hair to be desired.
