WTF Friday: Pontiac Trans Am Italia

DaveT -
About a month and a half ago I was spending a lot of time lurking the Kit Central forums digging up a little more info on an article my auto teacher took to Carlisle for his replica Diablo build. While I was there I came across this Trans Am Italia. This kit made the Pontiac Trans Am look less like a Pontiac and more like a Testerossa. I've seen a few kits with this effect (widebody e30, Truxarossa) but never this one. It looks pretty dated now but was probably a head turner in it's day.

Guest Coverage: Eurokracy 2011

DaveT -
About a month ago now Jesse from Air Society and myself began discussing collaboration ideas for both of our Canadian based stance sites. While we continue to work out some of the final details of our future plans he sent over some coverage from 'Eurokracy' taken by Fuel Riders. Eurokracy was Air Society's first show and it brought out a number of quality cars from Vermont, Strasse, NY, as well as a few people from Toronto including Scraped Crusaders .

Event Coverage: Niagara Truck & Tuner Expo Pt 2

DaveT -
Before I get into part two of the TNT Expo coverage I would once again like to thank and congratulate Nine-O-Five rides for putting on a great event. If there is one thing I remember most about putting on events (BMX) its that people don't always say thanks or even show any sort of appreciation for the work you put in so again thanks guys see you next year! Today's coverage is 99% cars because I posted all of the trucks yesterday and it also includes a few of the vehicles that were in the limbo contest.

Event Coverage: Niagara Truck & Tuner Expo Pt 1

DaveT -
Nine-O-Five Rides is one of the larger car clubs in the area and has made a name for itself as being a group you can count on to come out and support your event, when you give support you get support and that's exactly what happened this past Sunday when they decided to have their first show called the Niagara Truck & Tuner Expo. As a spectator it looked like the event went on without a hitch, it didn't rain and the turnout was great, and I'm glad to have been able to help out with sponsorship.

Guest Blog: Theme Tuesdays: At The Car Wash

DaveT -
Car washes are fun when you're young, but frankly, if you're out of the training diapers it's about as boring as it gets when it comes to cars. Unless of course, there are women in wet, skimpy clothes bending over to polish your dirty body. And what makes it even more special and makes us feel a lot less guilty for wanting to partake, is when companies do these car washes for charity! (Plus our significant other can't get as mad). (Potentially NSFW, you've been warned :P)

Featured Ride: JDR’s Mazda 3

DaveT -
When discussing aggressively fit Mazda 3 hatchbacks* three cars instantly spring to mind: Kevin Nigel's titanium gray 05 that was on SSR Vienna Kreis wheels, Rocky's fender flared conversation starter, and the subject of today's feature the always clean Safron Yellow example owned by Yevgeniy Kovalchuk. Yevgeniy, better known as JDR on the forums, has already received a number of kudos for his cars 2010 look, and his 2011 makeover is about to turn just as many heads as before, if not more.

WTF Friday: SR20 Echo

DaveT -
The drift community is known for their creativity when it comes to builds and this Echo I found on Build Threads is really no exception. Outside of this car there has been no real reason for me to pay attention to anything going on in the Toyota Echo world but this car peaked my interests (briefly) in the small commutator minded hatch. A bunch of creative (demented?) fabricators in Japan took it upon themselves to merge an echo with an s14 rear sub frame and a blacktop SR20.

SilForty

DaveT -
I have had this car saved on my hard drive for almost two months now but I just kept putting it off until later for one reason or another. However now that Readers Rides Part 5 is number one on my procrastination list it's time to let this Silvia clipped 240 go. This 240SX was owned by three Super Street editors in it's day and was built up for the magazine on two separate occasions, once in 2008 then again in 2010. It's in print popularity means that some of you may already be very familiar with the it.

Event Coverage: S&P June 19th 2011: Part 2

DaveT -
Back with the final set of photos from the June 19th Stretch and Poke event (aka 'The Stakes is High'). Today's coverage is quite simply everything I didn't post in part 1. Looking back I wish I shot a little more but as always hindsight is 20/20 and talking with people is easier than taking photos. Not too fussed though I will see these cars again soon and I think the next S&P event at Downsview Park I will raid Lyndsey's lens stash to switch up the look of the photos a little bit.

Event Coverage: Street Classics 2013 Season Opener

DaveT - 0
Got the opportunity to check out the Street Classics 2013 season opener on Saturday. I ended up leaving the house a little bit late which meant that sadly I missed some of the people who ducked out early to go onto other long weekend festivities. The smaller amount of cars didn't bother me too much however because last year I didn't make it to nearly enough of these events so I was just happy to be out.

K Car…wagon!?

DaveT - 7
Most people (in North America) remember the K car for the simple fact that they were everywhere for awhile. Personally I knew someone who's dad drove a sky blue one and treated it like gold. He washed it every weekend and stored it in the winter.

Sticker’d

DaveT - 5
As most of you know I did the first free run of 50 stickers not too long ago and the demand for them was much higher than I expected. When I got the first batch done I figured that 40 would go locally and 10 world wide but I couldn't have been more wrong. Most of the stickers went outside of Canada and into the United States, and one set even went to New Zealand. As I've probably said before it's an awesome feeling knowing that people all over the world are down with this blog and want to help represent it, here are some photos of people doing just that all around the world.
