Upgraded store, new stickers

DaveT -
I upgraded the Stance Is Everything official store this morning so that I could sell more than 5 products and monitor my inventory better. The previous way of monitoring (me) was proving in effective as sales increased. The need for more products comes because I've made Mr. Plow & Plow King stickers for the winter months. For now they are produced myself on matte white and matte black vinyl however I will get SecheMedia to do a multiple color run if the demand calls for it.

Winter Wednesdays: Not Much

DaveT -
Snow wise this winter is still continuing to be fairly uneventful in the GTA. Usually it snows while I am at work, then by the time I get off work all of it's melted, so I don't really see any of it. Not that I am really complaining because commuting in even light snow seems to double the time it takes to go anywhere. Here are two Nissans in fairly light amounts of snow.

Theme Tuesdays: Women and Cars

DaveT -
One 'drawback' to compiling the Classy Car Model Theme Tuesdays is that I often end up coming across lots of photos of women with cars that are the standard fare, you know, the scantily clad woman with a nice car type of photo. All of the photos in today's post were chosen because of the car in the photo, the woman in the photo, or the photography, I'll leave it to you guys to speculate in the comments what was the determining factor in each. Sorry in advance ladies, also this one may be NSFW.

Orange Delicious

DaveT -
Man, whats up with all the sick Orange EG's lately? When I posted this one before I called it an 'epic save' and if the owner keeps doing what he is doing I might just have to upgrade it to best Civic save ever. Fittingly this B16b powered, pumpkin orange, hatch was voted ' Hatchback Of The Month' for October on Clubeg6.com. If you ask me it's well deserved honor.

It’s a Mirage

DaveT -
When I think of modified Mitsubishi's it's normally Eclipse, Lancer, or Evo, but never Mirage. This is probably because the history of the Mirage in Canada is a little confusing. Up until early/mid 2000 Mitsubishi was sold under Eagle and or Plymouth, which meant the Mirage sedan was a Dodge Colt while the hatchback was an Eagle Summit. I've seen a couple modified Colts around town (though few and far between and none within the past five years) but at the time I never made the connection to the cars Mitsubishi heritage.

Top Content of 2010

DaveT -
Welcome to 2011 everyone! I hope this year is better than the last for all of you and for those of you that rang in the year with firewater I wish you a speedy recovery from the grips of a hangover. Like last year I'm watching the 2010 Scottsdale Barrett Jackson Auction re air on Speed TV and looking over my Google Analytics stats to see how things went in 2010.

WTF Friday: What the heck is a Wartburg?

DaveT -
Saw this in the 'Post Insane or Unique Engine Swaps' thread over on VW Vortex and it had me a little confused. I've never seen, or heard of, a Wartburg before. However after checking out Wiki it sort of makes sense as they were a car of East German manufacture that never made it's way to Canada. Their 'claim to fame' was the fact that the motors only had 7 moving parts (three pistons, three connecting rods and a crankshaft).

Whats the plural of Lexus?

DaveT -
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.

Readers Rides: Facebook fans Part 4

DaveT -
The Facebook fan page just surpassed another milestone, 2000 fans, and to celebrate I've decided to do one more readers rides for 2010. As the fan page grows so does the variety of cars posted in the fan photos gallery. Seeing variety is great because it means that I can continue to post all sorts of cars here without worry of losing the collective interests to to speak. Here's the latest from the fan page.

My new drop

DaveT - 13
If you've been following along with my Friday site/personal updates, or on twitter, will have known that I recently made the switch from my Eibach Sportline/Koni Yellow combo to BC Racing BR type coil overs. After the initial install, while the ride quality was vastly improved, I was shocked to learn that my new coil overs actually sat higher than my previous setup at their lowest setting. Not cool. So it was time to consider my options.
