All the Volkswagen fans, my apologies, until someone mentioned it on facebook I had not noticed it had been some time since I posted up some quality VW content. Here is what I had on hand last night and I have a whole bunch of tabs open at home to start saving more Volkswagen content for future posts. While I might not comment on everything right away I do read every comment and email that comes through 🙂

Winter Wednesdays: IS300 snow day

DaveT -
It feels a little weird posting a Winter Wednesday today as it's actually fairly mild here in the Toronto area (above zereo). I also can't remember if it snowed the last seven days but what the hell both of these IS300s are more than worth posting. I can't recall where the owner of the one on gumetal one lives but I'm told the owner of the white one lives in a part of Virginia that generally doesn't get lots of snow.

Theme Tuesdays: Mitsubishi Evos (Pt. 2)

DaveT -
On the heels of last weeks slightly unorthodox Theme Tuesday I decided to go with something a little more standard this week. With the Evo IXs slowly starting to trickle onto Canadian streets, and the new Dodge Charger looking oddly Evo X inspired I've had these cars on the brain a little bit more than usual lately, which worked well as I had a decent number of them saved on my hard drive as well.

Girl you be killin ’em

DaveT -
Since it's Valentines Day (and because I have this song stuck in my head) I figured it would be appropriate to post these photos of a local female who rolled damn hard in 2010. I've seen this car in person a few times, once at a CSCS event, and then a couple weeks later at a BBQ in Markham, but prior to seeing these shots on JDM Rides I didn't know of any photos that really captured just how nice this car really is.

February sticker give away

DaveT -
As promised here is the February sticker give away post. The theme of this give away is characters and Seche Media along with Supermade, Sweetie Girl Racing, and Nextmod all came through with an awesome variety of stickers to give away this month. The format is the same, comment to enter for one of the three available prize packages, the only thing different for this one is that since it's Valentines day one of the prize packages is only available to the female readers.

Blenda

DaveT -
My friend Josh speaks Japanese and I don't, which means on twitter (@shiftmo) he follows a number of people that I wouldn't be able to understand. Amidst what is gibberish to me Josh found this Honda Odyssey. Any one who has even a partial eye on the Honda Odyssey scene will tell you that here in North America we generally ignore these vans while the Japanese do them up pretty serious. This particular one, called 'Blenda' by it's owner is so nice that it inspired me to put up a rare Sunday post.

WTF Friday: Yugo/ Integrale

DaveT -
So once again I had a completely different WTF Friday started then came across something that sent that original post straight to the back burner because of this crazy creation. Some unique minded individual has took it upon themselves to combine the best(?) parts of two cars that I have never seen in person before, a Yugo 45, and a Lancia Delta Integrale, into one attractive and capable little track monster.

Datsun

Death star

DaveT -
It's been a little bit since I posted that clean as hell Fortune Auto Datsun 510, and even longer since I posted a 280z so to break the Datsun drought here is a 280z out of Quebec that looks quite proper dressed in all black and wearing 16x9 and 16x10 3pc Simmons wheels as asphalt kickers. I'm very impressed the owner was able to keep this car so clean in Quebec because from what i hear the roads in QC are not very great and they salt quite a bit.

Another one touches down

DaveT -
Since the last bagged Subaru I've posted I learned a few things. The first being is that more people seem to dig bagged Subarus than not and the second is that more people are bagging Subbies than I originally thought (apparently it's big in Australia). Case in point this bagged Legacy GTS on what look to be purple Raderwerks built by Kustomz Unlimited INC out in Texas.

Theme Tuesdays: Los Boulevardos

DaveT - 7
Recently I stumbled upon on Stance Works thread that kind of rattled the entire belief system this site is based on, for years I have often considered American cars -ie: Impalas slammed on Supremes with white walls- a different style of lowrider but it turns out that is not the case. According to members of the Los Boulevardos Car Club these cars that are too late to be traditional (in the hot rod sense), and too lowrider to be custom (think sleds), and too custom (think lack of wires) to be lowriders are their own niche entirely.

Whats the plural of Lexus?

Lexi? Lexuses? Toyotas? I think it's Lexuses but that sounds funny (like Flanderses) so I am not really sure. Anyway the reason I am talking about this is because I found photos of these six Lex sedans while pulling together the IS300 Theme Tuesday. I'm having a hard time deciding which is my favorite, the red one on Equips or the purple one on Meisters.

Funky cold Mondeo

DaveT - 7
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.
