New Stickers for charity

DaveT -
My girlfriend (who does a lot of the photography and design around here) is fund raising for the Canadian Cancer Society by collection donations for her participation in the Relay For Life June 17th. In an effort to raise as much money as possible for a great cause she has designed 8 new stickers for the SIE store, which 100% of the proceeds from their sales will go to her fund-raising efforts.

WTF Friday: Great balls of fire!

DaveT -
Not sure how many of you seriously follow drag racing (I don't) but this video and accompanying photos have been floating around since last weekend and are pretty damn intense. Driver Joe Alsworth had a fireball erupt around him at the Super Chevy show after he did his second nitrous purge staging and everything went catastrophically wrong. From there everything that could go wrong did (other than him getting seriously injured).

VIP GS300

DaveT -
I used to be pretty into car audio installations a few years ago (pre-theft) and even though I don't have an installation now I still find myself browsing car audio sites from time to time. On one of those trips to caraudiomag.com I found this Lexus. This Lexus is the type of car I could see a 'business professional' rolling around in, you know the type of person who still wants their car to look good but can't spend forever figuring out how to enter and exit a parking lot because they are off to their next high priced meeting and time is money.

Event Preview: Sunday May 29th

DaveT -
Sunday May 29th 2011 is shaping up to be an eventful day of car shows and meets here in Toronto. Currently I know of two show and sines and two meets all taking place that Sunday. If you are looking for something to do on the May 29th I suggest hitting up either the Krown Lakeshore Charity Show and Shine, Pur Secretz Summer Sizzle 3, Stretch and Poke 2011 # 1, and finally BVANs kick square 1/jdmrides off meet.

She’s a fox

DaveT -
There was a call on facebook by Kory Flansburg for more domestics, specifically Fox body Mustangs. I think any 80s babies and 90s children like myself grew up idolizing the fox body or 5.0 because they were everywhere with that super distinctive exhaust note. Much to the dismay of my girlfriend I still quite like them and occasionally threaten to buy one. If I ever did I am not sure whether I would Salleen/Dech kit it out or just rock the standard body like these two.

Theme Tuesdays: Cars with mouths

DaveT -
I'll be honest with you guys, when I started this Theme Tuesday I didn't really think it would come together as well as it did as it is pretty random. However Google never lets me down and it turns out people have been putting World War II type graphics on cars of all sorts for some time. Add to that the popularity of Rusty and the movie cars and cartoon mouths and you have today's collection of photos.

Stance Factory doin work

DaveT -
Mike and Jay at Stance Factory have been pretty busy the last month or so cranking out a wide assortment of Bavarian automobiles at different ride heights. If your from the GTA and drive a BMW these guys should be on your shortlists of shops to check out for maintenance and aftermarket needs. They can help you pick out the right suspension, wheel, and tire setup necessary to get your stance exactly how you want it.

WTF Friday: Fire in the hole

DaveT -
I think if there were any car to throw in the 'well how about that files' it's this one. Chrysler Crossfires are one car that I have never really paid much attention to, not a huge fan of how they look to be honest and I don't really see any on the road or at events. They are just kind of 'there'. But this one is a little different as it's got a Mercedes AMG 5.5L V8 supercharged motor under the hood putting down 443 HP and 481 lb/ft torque at the wheels.

Red paint, white letters

DaveT -
Red paint and white letters, I am a big fan of this look right now as probably gathered from last weeks Corrado. RWB cars are always visually incredible, and it's no secret they have the matte colored car game on lock but this one proves that the same aesthetic can look great with a little gloss. Pretty sure a periwinkle RAUH-Welt car would still look great...

If this is wrong I’m not sure I want what’s right

DaveT - 2
To some a lowered Subaru is a wasted Subaru, and a bagged Subaru is a complete abomination. Those individuals are typically purists who don't really believe that people are free to do whatever they want to the car they currently own for better or for worse. In the case of this Subaru, in my opinion, putting bags on it was for the better.

WTF Friday: Someone must know more

DaveT - 1
Generally with WTF Friday posts I like to have more info than I do today but try as I might I can't seem to drum up any additional information or photos pertaining to this particular car. Here is what I know: the chassis is a Terraplane (a Detroit company active between '32 and '38) and sitting between it's frame rails is a radial motor that one can only assume is from an air plane. Pony Fotos took photos of this car in 2012 at an event called Headbanging and somehow it seems that no one else even noticed it.
