WTF Friday: I think I brained my damage

Here's a bit of a head twister; somewhere in America a clever hotrodder decided that the way traditional small block Chevys work was too boring so he flipped everything on it's head putting the exhaust where the intake was and the intake where the exhaust was. This creates a completley unique looking motor that on first glance leaves you wondering how in the hell it all works.

Event Coverage: Sema 2012 – Part 6.

I've finally reached the point where more SEMA photos are behind me than ahead of me which means this is the last 40+ image post for SEMA 2012. I know for some the coverage seems a little excessive and drawn out but I view the opportunity to attend SEMA as a privilege that could potentially be revoked at any time so I don't want to ever have the feeling I could have done better once it's all said and done.

SEMA Showstopper: unfuckwithable

The last time RWB was mentioned here was almost exactly a year ago in a post titled "RW Who?" that showcased this  DP Motorsport built  73 911. Then Rauh Welt Begriff had  brought  two extremely popular builds to SEMA --the now  black Pandora One 965 and the 965 Hoonigan-- and everyone who was anyone was photographing, posting, tweeting,  and just generally carrying on about those cars several times a day.

Theme Tuesdays: Classy Car Models Part 6

I thought about doing another women of SEMA Theme Tuesday for 2012 but as it turns out I only took about six photos of models this year four of which sucked. That means it's time to fall back to an old favourite, 'Classy Car Models'.

Event Coverage: Sema 2012 – Part 5.

Heading back outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center for this extra long SEMA coverage post today. I'm not sure the exact criteria for parking outside of the Convention Center but if I were to guess I'd imagine it's similar to one of the larger "invite-only" car shows in the states.

SEMA Showstopper: Jake’s Genesis

When I posted a photo of Jake's Genesis on the fanpage  many of you commented saying it was one of the best Gens currently rolling the streets and that I should go back for a closer look at the motor, interior, and trunk. I'm not one to argue with my readers so each time I passed the car I made an effort to notice something different and after doing so I would have to agree that it's one of the nicest Genesis builds I have seen to date.

WTF Friday: Hardrock

What do you get when you cross a Mk1 Volkswagen Caddy, a 91 Toyota Soarer, some metal for a roll cage, two wheel tubs, BC Coils, a hydraulic handbrake, green paint, and some Rota Grids? Evidently a cool little truck that can slide with the best of them.

Event Coverage: Sema 2012 – Part 4.

I love American classics and this year I didn't get the chance to check out nearly as many classic cruise nights as I would have liked so SEMA served as a great way for me to catch up on American Iron. There were awesome builds literally as far as the eye could see and I had to constantly remind myself not to spend all of my time (or card space) on the classics.

SEMA Showstopper: Ranz Motorsports 280SE

Slowing things down a little today coverage wise for another SEMA Showstopper. Erik actually spotted this car on opening day (while I was off getting married) and suggested that I take a peak inside the car once I was done looking under the hood.

WTF Friday: It’s a Celica

There once was a time that I checked the Stance|Works forum pretty regularly, but as time went on I found myself returning less often...

Event Coverage: Street Classics May 24 2010

Last Saturday I felt the need for a little bit of change from the super slammed, stretch tire, flush type of stance and decided to head out to the weekly Street Classics Show and Shine at Canadian Tire Etobicoke and take in some real American Metal. Since it was a long weekend the turnout was smaller than usual but 20 cars or 200 I still enjoy these shows, it's something about the atmosphere.

Theme Tuesdays: Low Citroens

You guys can thank Ollie for this weeks Theme Tuesday as he is the one who introduced me to the crazy world of Citroen 2CV's which ultimately lead to today's post. Despite the unique (odd) suspension design of Citroens, the 2cv specifically, people drop them just the same. Further proof that if you build it someone will slam it.

WTF Friday: Automotive Epic Fails

Here in Ontario our cars have to pass emissions and safety checks to be registered to drive on the roads. There are ways around this if you know the right people and some would argue that the some of the people doing safety checks can't tell their heads from their ass but I would hope that none of these vehicles would pass. A lot of WTF were you thinking going on here.

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.
