Theme Tuesdays: Wekfest favorites 2011

Everyone I've had a chance to chat with via email or twitter says Wekfest 2011 was a crazy this year with lots of cars and even more people. One day, if I'm lucky, perhaps I'll plan a trip around attending one and make a vacation out of the whole deal. Or if I am really lucky someone will fly me out (ya right). Until then I will just have to settle for living vicariously through the lives of the people at The Chronicles, Canibeat, Night-Import, LimestandPhotography, Ivy League East and Oh you speak english.

Funky cold Mondeo

It's always interesting the differences in the car markets across the globe. Cars that are mundane in one area will excel in another and the Ford Contour, aka the Ford Mondeo, is a prime example of that, seeing as how it was (according to Wikipedia) Britain's third best selling new car from 96 - 98. Here in North America they are just another ho hum family hauler. I've seen a couple modified here and there (mostly SVTs) but none done with some Euro flavor, that is until this one.

WTF Friday: Under Konstruction

On the way to Pennsylvania last week, traveling by Aztec (great road trip vehicle oddly enough), we stopped at a bunch of random places. One memorable stop was a gun store where we were informed that over 950 women in Pennsylvania have the right to carry a concealed weapon which is sort of scary. On what would have been a more standard stop for gas I noticed what appeared to be a convertible Neon in an empty lot across the road, naturally curiosity got the better of me and dodged two lane traffic to get a better look.

Fat and Flush: STI

They say the first step in managing an addiction is admitting you have an addiction so I am going to admit this one to all of you: I'm in the early stages of what is no doubt going to become a full blown addiction to cars that are set up fat and flush. Like my addiction to the other various forms of stance this is basically out of my control so the best thing I can do at this point is give fat and flush it's own category.

Can’t afford, do want.

I could use this title a thousand times over for cars I post here on a regular bases but I think it suits this Benzo to a tee. While I wasn't able to find the original source of these photos or a mods list with exact specs, but I don't really need either to appreciate what's been done here. This car looks absolutely fantastic.

Winter Wednesdays: Lupo

Winter is starting to get a little tiresome. At the end of last week we were teased with fairly mild weather but at a cost because it was just incredibly windy for two days straight. Then just as a remind that spring doesn't start 'officially' until March 21st we got a decent amount of snow on Sunday night and the weather has turned back to double digits below zero. I guess looking on the bright side we all have at least 1 month left (unless you are in Performance World or sunnier climates) to get all of our ducks in a row for the 2011 season.

Theme Tuesdays: Pictures With Attitude: 5

Last night I had envisioned doing a 'Favorites of Wekfest 2011' Theme Tuesday (since I was not there) but when I started looking for photos I was having a hell of a time finding ones that were not full of hoards of people. I noticed a few better photos popped up this morning but I generally don't like posting Theme Tuesdays after work so here are some more awesome automotive photos I felt needed to be shared.

Featured Ride: Andre’s Impreza

One of the best parts about being a car enthusiasts in this internet age is that it's incredibly easy to connect with other scenes around the globe. With less than an hour and a few clicks you can see what's going on in Europe, North America, and Japan. This means that tuning styles are no longer regionally based. Andre, who is from Brazil, got hooked on clean, low, cars fast thanks to international forums like NASOIC and blogs like this one. Once the bug bit it wasn't long until Impreza was on sitting much closer to the earth.

WTF Friday: 2 Fast 2 Serious?

In about an hour or so I set off to State College Pennsylvania to get in a weekends worth of BMX riding at Woodward Camp, so I'm going to get straight to what you guys want to read and then back to my (last minute) packing. The winners of the February sticker give away are Dallas, mb190, and Tammy if that's your name please check the email you commented with so you can let me know which stickers you want from the S.I.E. store and where I should send them to.

Theme Tuesdays: Lowered Trucks Pullin’ Stuff

Most of us (especially those of us who have done it) have at some point heard someone state that lowering a truck ruins a truck. The funny part about that statement is that most lowered trucks are still more truck that most nay sayers actually need, and are still very capable of hauling miscellaneous goods, be it in the bed or on a trailer as is today's theme.

Theme Tuesdays: Classy Car Models Part 7

Keeping the hit parade of previously vistied Theme Tuesdays going again this week with round seven of the 'Classy Car Models' theme started back...

Theme Tuesdays: Sick S2000s

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Sick s2000s

Guest Coverage: Drift West Round 3

Mike McConnell hit me up last weekend to let me know that he was in Penticton BC covering round 3 of the Drift West series. It looks like the Drift scene out west is thriving and Mike is always great behind the lens so this is easily some of the best drift coverage to ever hit the site.

All Roads Point To Low

The fact that I like Audi wagons isn't exactly news, I've been a fan of the A3 for some time now and I've also dedicated a Theme Tuesday to various forms of Avants. This may be the first Allroad I've posted and, surprise surprise, at the right height I like them as well.
