Deux

When I first saw the Mazda 2 at the Canadian International Autoshow in 2010 I saw some potential there thanks to the three cars Mazda brought out. Maybe not potential for everyone but definitely something there for people looking for a small hatch. A couple have popped up online (most notably one on Hella Flush) but I think this might be one of the most modified one in the states right now.

USDM JDM

DaveT -
I have this friend Josh who I talk to about cars quite a bit, you might know him as the guy who has a slight obsession with Honda Odysseys. In my latest effort to get him into American cars I have been sending him ones in Japan. He still seems pretty indifferent to most American builds but he did send me a link to this one so maybe it is working on a subconscious level.

Theme Tuesdays: Cressida Wagons

DaveT -
Last weeks Theme Tuesday on the standard Cressida went over so well that it would be stupid not to strike while the iron is hot and follow up with a Cressida Wagon post. Distinguishing the difference between the Mark II, Cressidas, and Cresta's is a little different when you are not super familiar with with each platform so don't lop my head off if I got a few wrong.

WTF Friday: Tempting Fate

DaveT -
As bizarre as this might sound I actually spend more time than you probably expect looking at donks. No I don't really like them, and no you won't see them posted here in anything other than WTF Friday category but I can't help but be a little mystified behind this crowds choice of modifications. The huge wheels, lifts, insanely loud stereos, and odd corporate paint schemes, for lack of a better word, dumbfound me.

Dapper

Last night while checking up on a few builds on the Stance Works forums I came across this quote by Mr. Burroughs: Silver, Gold, or polished. Those are the gentleman's wheel color choices.

A Visit To: The Petersen Automotive Museum

DaveT -
Most of the coverage I have seen from those who visit California (San Francisco and LA area) seems to be centralized around a visit to the Fatlace store in SF, a Hella Flush event, a stop at Rotiform, and sometimes time/weather permitting a stop at one other event. Though it isn't all that far from the strip, and an awesome place to visit as a gear head, very few ever talk about let alone cover the Peteresn Automotive Museum, at least on the sites I frequent.

Theme Tuesdays: Cressidas

DaveT -
Saw a thread on jdmrides.ca yesterday that had the following quote: Jdm or not. I wouldn't want something that old and ugly. Might look cool slammed on some low offset rims. That was about all the encouragement I needed to pull together a Cressida Theme Tuesday.

Double R

DaveT -
A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to meet up with two skyline owners for a photo shoot, nothing serious or anything like that but another good chance for me to play around with my new camera. By the time we all hooked up and the cars were cleaned it was getting dark which killed a lot of the photos but I was able to save a few.

WTF Friday: So Who’s Worse?

DaveT -
It's no secret that in the quest to go as low and wide as possible some people have been known to cross the line between voids warranties and downright dangerous. Not long ago one particularily inept attempt appeared on Jalopnik and more recently people have been up in arms over a particular silver Celica from Japan.

Theme Tuesday: MKII Golfs

DaveT - 11
I was over on Supermade last night looking at all the nice Volkswagens he posts when it hit my like a brick that I had yet do do a Theme Tuesday dedicated solely to the MKII Golf. I can't believe it's taken me this long, these cars a staple of the low lifestyle and are always at shows and meets.

Event Coverage: Boost Theory Grand Opening

DaveT - 4
On Sunday a new performance shop in Mississauga opened under the name Boost Theory and as the name implies they specialize in forced induction but are more than capable of working on N/A motors, suspension and anyting else you would expect from a good performance shop. On my way home from Euronited (coverage tomorrow) I swung by and was greeted by Focal Point Concepts, Elevated, Sic Ryde, and a few other local celebrities.

DaveT - 10
I've been totally sleeping on posting this event, I swear I need a secretary, anyway Strech & Poke the crew behind Stretch & Poke 1 is putting on another event this Saturday at Humber Bay Park East starting at 10 am. If the last event was any indication of the caliber of cars that are going to be at this one it is defiantly worth checking out if you are in the area. Furthermore David at S&P has also hooked up with JDM Ego and Fatlace for this and will have some exclusive stickers. Further details inside.

Drift Ops along with Cool Kids and sponsor Sailun Tires just wrapped up a successful season of drift events at local track Shannoville. In some cruel twist of fate I was busy every Sunday that they had an event this year, but for the season-ender Charles Spivak was able to make it out and he kindly offered up his coverage for the site.
