WTF Friday: ETU

I'll be honest with you I had a completely different set of WTF Friday photos to post today and I wasn't planning on doing a guessing game for a few weeks but that all went out the door when I saw this creation Sic Ryde spotted on one of his many missions through the the streets of Ontario. If you can correctly identify and prove what the heck this truck started as then I will send you an equally mysterious sticker pack made up of Stance Is Everything stickers and stickers from sponsors and friends.

Event Coverage: CSCS Opener 2011: Pt 2

Finally managed to make it to the end of my photo stack from last weekends double header. Including this post I have uploaded over 100 photos in the last four days. As much as I love going to events, hanging out, and documenting sometimes it's hard to find the time to sit down and edit the photos I take. This problem becomes more apparent when it's nice outside & work is kicking my ass. However the show must go on so here are the pictures from the CSCS opener show and shine.

Event Coverage: CSCS Opener 2011: Pt 1

The Canadian Sport Compact Series kicked of their season with one hell of an eventful day last Sunday. Mr. weatherman finally blessed CSCS with a glowing, scorching, rain free, forecast that lead to a spectacular turn out. In fact it was the best turn out I've ever seen at CSCS since I have been attending. The distance I had to park from the action was a clear indicator of just how many people came out to enjoy a day of motor sport.

Event Coverage: Fleetwood Cruize In Part 2

Continuing the Fleetwood Country Cruize In coverage from Monday I have got 40+ more photos of classic, mostly American, metal to share with the class. This show being my first outdoor classic show of 2011 might have spoiled me and set the expectations a little high for the rest of the year but I am still looking forward to checking out more classic events. As I have said again and again my favorite part about the classic events is the atmosphere and the conversations I have with the car owners, many of which who have owned and worked on their cars for longer than I have been alive.

Theme Tuesdays: Dat Ass Part 2

If you Google 'Dat Ass Car, Dat Ass Stance, Stance Dat Ass' and so forth the first result you get is my last Theme Tuesday. While that's pretty awesome it made finding cars for the follow up a little harder than usual as I just kept ending up back here. But whats life without it's challenges right? A little changes in what I searched for and I was able to put together Dat Ass Part 2. Enjoy.

Event Coverage: Fleetwood Cruize In: Part 1

Since I had never been to Fleetwood Country Cruize In before I wasn't really sure what to expect. I figured it would be pretty good at least being affiliated with The Speed Channel and Meguairs' Car Crazy, but I really had no idea just how big of a classic car event this was until we were on our way to Dorchester the night before and we passed classic after classic on the highway. This was easily the biggest car show I have been to in Ontario with vehicles sprawled all over the ginormous Plunkett estate. It was a sight to behold and worth the trip if you were ever debating it.

WTF Friday: Not sure what to make of this

Chances are that if I said I was going to post a carbed, rear wheel drive, Honda Accord the vehicle in this video wouldn't resemble what you were picturing in your head. It just makes more sense for a Honda fitting that description to be powered by an American power plant, after all it's been done before. However the two men behind this build decided to take a road much less traveled and throw a Honda J33 T6 motor in the back of a stripped out Honda Accord with fiberglass panels and call it a day.

Guest Coverage: Summer Sizzle 3

I didn't mean to leave you guys without any new content yesterday but things have been a bit hectic at work which means more time spent there and less time spent elsewhere, however thanks to Mike Branco I've got even more event coverage from this past event filled weekend in the Toronto area. While I wasn't able to make it out to this years Summer Sizzle put on by Pur Secretz Mike happened to be showing at the event and was nice enough to snap a few photos for use here.

Event Coverage: S&P May 29th 2011: Part 2

Here is the second batch of photos from the first Stretch & Poke meet of 2011. Over 150 cars turned up to this meet which actually dwarfed a few of the shows that day. I am really glad you guys chose Euros for Part 1 on the fan page because it gave me a chance to edit the rest of the photos I took for todays much more photo intensive post.

WTF Friday: Are you for serious?

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.

Japanese Methodology

These days the Japanese car scene receives a lot of online attention. RWB, Rocket Bunny, and Liberty Walk, are covered so thoroughly that, if I were to be completely honest, they have almost begun to lose some of their allure. What's a little less exposed is Japan's take on tuning styles that are more commonly done this side of the pond, and from the brief glimpses I've seen Japan's mini truck scene is an underexposed mecca of awesome.

Winter Wednesdays: Finnish

With a name like No Pokemon Shit it is clear from the start that this Finnish car 'club' is a little different. The name might be a little odd but from what I can tell No Pokemon Shit means no body kits, no wings, no gimmicks. Just low, clean and to the point.

Event Coverage: Mega Speed Part 3

Keeping the Mega Speed Coverage moving here is the second set of classics, hot rods, and customs, along with a few assorted other things to help break things up a bit. The amount of time put into today's builds is truly remarkable.

Theme Tuesdays: Billet Wheels, Small Cars

This week's Theme Tuesday is an offshoot from another Theme Tuesday idea I've currently got on the back burner. I've always liked the right...
