Back in February I stumbled across a Japan-born video on YouTube that features four impressive, VIP-styled JDM Honda Odysseys. Craving more, I did a bit of digging, and soon found myself flipping through a photo gallery belonging to Hoda — the owner of the red Odyssey in the video. Along with Hoda's photo gallery there is one more thing I found: His Twitter account. I followed him. We started talking. And when I made plans to visit Japan to see family, I wasted no time asking Hoda if he was interested to meet in person, he nearly instantly responded "yes".

It has been a long time since I've thought about 'the worlds lowest blazer' (at least five years) but for whatever reason it popped into my head while pulling together last weeks WTF Friday post. This truck is a great example of the extreme measures people were (and still are) willing to take to get their 'perfect stance'. I remember a lot of things about this truck (the extreme body drop, the fender humps, and the Fiero wheels) but a couple of the other details completely slipped my mind.

It's been a great week for videos, first the Level One video popped up, then Aidan's IS300 video was dropped, and now I've got this great video of a low MKV GTI to share all the way from Russia. Both the car and the video are simple and to the point, and while dimaekimov didn't attach much info about the car he did include a few static shots of it from the video. Take a look.

Not everyone’s got the balls to go up against the modification 'norms' of their platform because doing so invites the opinions of naysayers and know-it-alls. But what if the end product is a combination of function and form comprised of parts only from reputable manufacturers, then what? Well then you have a car like today's Mustang, one that provokes conversation and stands out amongst its peers.

Time again to do a pretty straight forward Theme Tuesday post, the kind you could find on any other blog. Sorry this is not as creative as some of the previous ones. I'm not even sure you guys will like it.... /sarcasm Warning: Potentially NSFW unless maybe you work at the Brass Rail or just DGAF.

From what I have seen Subaru owners that want to run low and wide might have the most uphill battle amongst their peers. A lot of the 'traditional' Subaru owners seem to think that Subarus (specifically STIs) should always be ready for rally conditions that could suddenly pop up in the middle of the highway. The reality is you don't need 4x4 ground clearance to enjoy all wheel drive, but people hate reality.

I've seen and (and normally posted) quite a few crazy builds so I am getting pretty a custom to bizarre combinations of car and motor but this particular one caught me wayyyy off guard. Fabrication aside the owner/builder deserves a round of applause for just getting through the amount of hate that comes along with telling people you are going to dress a 97 Mustang Cobra in 94 Acura clothes.

Before I get ripped to pieces by all of the internet over the title let me just say one thing: I like Rauh Welt Begriff cars. It is just lately I've been bombard at all angles by the same three cars that I needed a little break from them before I end up a drooling twitching mess on the floor chanting R.W.B. for life. That's where this '73 911 comes in, its glossy bright white finish is about as far from R.W.B. as you can get.
