WTF Friday: Back To The Future

On the silver screen DeLoreans (Doc Brown's anyway) are a mechanical marvel worth turning into a time machine powered by stolen plutonium. In reality by the time they finished jumping through all the hoops required to go from idea to production vehicle they ended up as stainless steel disappointments.

Classically Trained

There isn't anything wrong with a simple clean e36, and this is a simple clean e36 I've been meaning to share for awhile. Posted online in January I've found myself looking at these pictures time and time again (thanks to never closing the tab) and admiring the owners taste in modifications.

Family Values

As I'm sure many of you know I put off the Turbo Dodge Theme Tuesday for as long as possible because it was hard to pull together and I wasn't sure the juice was worth the squeeze. However had I known that posting a few snail equipped Mopars would lead to my first introduction to this Stingray I would have done it a hell of a lot sooner.

Theme Tuesdays: Classy Car Models Part 5

If you've liked more than one automotive fanpage on Facebook within the past six months chances are pretty good your news feed is starting to look more like a soft core porn by the day. All this trend of posting half naked women to get likes has done is increase the chances of the disgruntled female two cubicles over reporting you to HR for looking at boobs on work time. On SIE almost all of the female posts will stay here on the blog so you get to keep your job and if you do happen to get caught looking at this post just claim you did it because you are into female fashion.

Oliver’s Travels: 2

Since the positive reception of the first Oliver's Travels Ollie seems to have be stepped up his game in regards to the variety and quality of cars he sends through. Actually.... that is not really true he's always submitted a wide assortment of straight up bad ass cars. It's only now that I have started to compile them into posts have I realized just how diverse his submissions really are. If there was ever to be some sort of automotive Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit challenge I would want Ollie on my team...

WTF Friday: More Questions Than Answers

There is a particularly humorous episode of Futurama that involves the Planet Express crew going under water to a city much like Atlantis. Hilarity of course ensues and a after series of particularly ridiculous events concludes with Bender picking up a lit cigar (under water remember) Hermes exclaims "and that just raises further questions!" Hermes' repeated confused reaction and desire to grasp what is going on in that scene is exactly how I felt when I first saw this Geo Metro(?) turned into whatever it is now.

Anarchy

I'm pretty sure not everyone is going to like this car and that's alright because I am almost absolutely positive the owner doesn't care, and I just like to see just what kind of cars I can get away with posting before one of you has me committed (or at the very least disconnects my internet). According to -273 before this car became what it is today it started as some kind of 50s Ford.

Going Back To Cali

For long time readers today's car may look a little familiar and that's because it was first posted in July of 2010 alongside an equally stunning white 328i. At that time Bryan had just saved the car from an early death at the hands of a neglectful previous owner and done a little bit of work to it.

Front Rear Sedan

Normally I let Theme Tuesday posts stand alone but I'll make an exception today for this awesome home grown build by Liam of Dorimoto. Locals will probably remember Liam best for the 240 he used to slide around Cayuga and Mosport at previous CSCS drift competitions but that car has now been returned to the earth and now he's moved onto next.

Winter Wednesdays: Camaro

After yesterdays Mopar fest I figured I should try my best to get the Chevy guys back on board ( and deal with blue oval fans another day). I've never been a huge fourth generation Camaro fan but this one really caught my eye.

52

Some people build cars and some people assemble cars and personally I have no issue admitting that I assemble cars, meaning that my car is comprised entirely of off the shelf parts and is easily re creatable. The goal of course is to one day be like Jeff who at the age of 19 has already proven himself a car builder by creating a vehicle worthy of accolades from enthusiasts world wide.

Doing Theme Tuesdays religiously since 2009 means that on occasion I draw a blank when it comes to what to post each week. When this...

Forums Are On Life Support, Won’t Someone Think Of The Build Threads?

I'm old, not that old, but certainly 'older' in the internet based automotive community. I am part of the generation that's been around long...
