Fat and Flush: Tracer

DaveT -
Just when you thought this category was only turning into a s2000 on Enkei wheels love fest here is a ridiculously good looking STI on 18x9.5 +22 AME Tracer wheels wrapped in 225/40/18 tires. Beautiful at every angle there is literally nothing that should be changed on this car.

Theme Tuesdays: Topless

DaveT -
You can all thank long time reader (and previous featured ride owner) Phil for calling me out for dragging my heels on the topless Theme Tuesday I completely forgot I said I would do. I manged to pull together this post nearly entirely from other half started Theme Tuesday posts so that should give you an idea of what's in-store eventually.

Event Coverage: Squeaky Clean ‘Coffee’

DaveT -
In 2011 Matt ended his previous show series, Tuners Against Street Racing, to start his new endevaour Squeaky Clean. The first Squeaky Clean event had a bit of a luke warm reception (not helped in the least the weather) so for 2012 Matt started with an event focused on the cars and the people instead of awards.

WTF Friday: Mini Me

DaveT -
Remember Penny Racers? If you do than you will probably see the resemblance between those cheap yet amusing little toys and these mini Camaros from the 70s. Oddly enough two companies released very similar Camaro kits, one by a company called KAR and another by a company called Glass Vac and from what I have read both were based around a Beetle chassis.

Who needs candy?

DaveT -
I had to laugh to myself a little when I saw this van because I knew I had to post it, and I know some of you are going to think it doesn't belong. Truth is, though way before my time, 70 vans have always intrigued me. They are an interesting niche of car culture and from what I've been told 'vanners' are often far more interesting than the vans themselves.

Ponyboy

DaveT -
Whenever I see a low Mustang with stretched rubber I always wonder how the Mustang community reacts to it. I am going to go out on a limb and say that there are probably more against such treatment than for. This just gives me more respect for those with Mustangs willing to go against the herd.

Theme Tuesdays: Lead Sleds/ Kustoms

DaveT -
Lead Sleds are cars I wish I saw more of first hand, sure I've seen a scattered few at a few Street Classics events but I need more! The fact that only certain cars take really well to this treatment makes them even harder to find. Huge respect to the people still building these cars today, it shouldn't have taken me so long to do this and I plan on making this one more than one part.

Roadwork damage compensation in Toronto

DaveT -
October 17th 2011 I hit a piece of sectioned out road that caused just shy of $600 worth of damage to my car. Despite several people telling me that trying to get the city to pay for it would be a wasted effort I went through with it and on April 9th 2012, I was compensated in full for the damages.

WTF Friday: I ain’t even mad

DaveT -
Even though this 'go kart' has a pull string throttle, bench seat (with no belts), mismatched bald tires, a frame of unknown origin, was built with 'hold my beer' mechanics, and looks to be about 8 kinds of dangerous, I'm not going to lie I kind of want to drive it. It looks (and sounds) like the motors best days are behind it anyway so what is the worst that could happen?

Guest Coverage: Dropsicles Sideshow 2012

DaveT - 4
Mike McConnell is an awesome event photographer, like myself he is the kind of guy who will do multiple passes of a show to make sure nothing gets missed and he isn't against revisiting the same car a few times in order capture those fine details. His latest contribution is from theDropsicles Sideshow held in Lethbridge Alberta and while I had never heard of it before these photos have made it a show I am going to keep an eye on. Great variety and quality.

Fat and Flush 2

DaveT - 6
My friend Jay who is an E30 fitment guru, and one half of the driving force behind local BMW shop Stance Factory, gave me the heads up on this e36 that's wearing 265 Hankook tires all around. It's been awhile since I've seen this car, and I know the owner drives it hard, so I'm glad to see it's still in once piece and still set up to have the wheels driven off of it. Form > Function is starting to turn (back?) into Form = Function.
