I'm not exactly one to wish ill towards someone's project but in the case of this full size GMC I'd have to say this might have been the best thing to happen to it. In it's most "completed" state this truck --which is some sort of strange combination of a minitruck, lowrider, and donk---wasn't exactly the best, nor safest, looking of vehicles.

As mentioned in part one of 2013 CSCS season opener coverage Cayuga was packed last Sunday which meant the show and shine was overwhelmingly full. Let me tell you I was pretty glad to not be a judge at that event because as it must have taken ages to get through the show and shine field never mind try and arrange them in some sort of logical order.

Leading up to the 2013 Canadian Sport Compact Series season opener the weatherman was forecasting a very damp day. However judging by Sunday's attendance at Toronto Motor Sports Park Cayuga very few people put much stock in the weatherman's early predictions. Random wind gusts aside the weather couldn't have been better for the season opener and the venue was the busiest I've ever seen it with people parked everywhere including outside of the front gates.

Since the dawn of time 'under construction' has been one of the most mover used terms in the car scene. Most cars with this proudly displayed on their wind shield or bodywork are either never really under construction or never going to actually get finished, forever stuck in a half primered state of being until they end up in the scrap yard. Works In Progerss however are different. How you ask? Well works in progress generally seem to either get finished or get parted out and are spared the sad fate of purgatory.

Lowriding is one part of the enthusiast lifestyle that is often incredibly misunderstood. To many, even other enthusiasts, painting intricate designs with copious amounts of flake on the frame and underside of an American classic is as silly as... well, building a car that can hop up and down at the carefully timed flip of a switch. But if you think about it building a show quality lowrider is not unlike building a show quality drift car. Both are meant to be used in a ways a normal car never would and both might as well look damn good while doing it.

In life it's important to learn from your mistakes so before I get any further in this post let me state that this is not an attack against Rotiform. I've never talked to anyone at Rotiform nor dealt with then in any way shape or form so I have no axe to grind. They have a strong standing in the aggressive fitment community and I'm a fan of more than one of their designs so I have no slanderous intent.

All of the Meguiar's Car Crazy Canada's Best competitors have now been picked with the last group of ten coming from Salon Auto-Sport in lovely Québec City. After almost not making it to the show due to a freak blizzard that threatened to leave them grounded mother nature eased up  just enough to allow the Meguiar's team to fly into QC and enjoy what looks to have been an amazing show.

Back with part two of the coverage from this years wildly successful Fitted Lifestyle Event presented by Stretch & Poke! Today's coverage actually has more photos than part one and to be completely honest there are still vehicles missing that I know I should have shot.Back with part two of the coverage from this years wildly successful Fitted Lifestyle Event presented by Stretch & Poke! Today's coverage actually has more photos than part one and to be completely honest there are still vehicles missing that I know I should have shot. After a few laps I decided to forgo taking photos and instead just hang out with the awesome group of people who made it out. However eventually I coincided defeat in the fact that I couldn't capture everything and just hung out with the awesome group of people who made it out.

The mantra of the devout non purist enthusiast is that the right motor for the job is the one that is the most reliable, cost effective, and powerful one available regardless of the make. More often than not GM's LSX ends up being the motor that fits those requirements, and as such the go to power plant for the non purist. It doesn't hurt that they came in a variety of different vehicles making them readily available, and have robust after market support.
