Featured Ride: Cungs G35

DaveT -
G35s's have definitely become a popular chassis for those looking to go down and out while retaining the ability to go fast and get wild. Shortly after finishing his car, for the first time, Cung got hooked on stance and fitment and decided to take his car back to the garage for a complete ground up make over. Now, post op, Cung is ready to showoff his 'Shrek' Green creation to the world.

Theme Tuesdays: Untraditional Low

DaveT -
The lowrider style Auburn Speedster I posted last Friday got me thinking that people will lower basically anything and everything and I should do a Theme Tuesday dedicated to those who like to think outside of the box. I had a few of these vehicles saved already but after doing a lot more web mining I came up with a pretty interesting collection of photos. Enjoy.

Contests

S.I.E./Shell V power You’ve got gas contest

DaveT -
After doing the last, super successful, reader appreciation contest I said that anytime I am fortunate enough to have stuff to give away I was going to do it, and guess what I have more free stuff so here is another contest! The fine folks at Shell have given me the opportunity to give away $50 of Shell V-Power® gasoline to one lucky winner. Additionally if $50 of free gas isn't enough to feed your ground scraper, a years supply of shell gasoline is available to win via the Shell V-Power® "Fuel My Passion" contest.

Betcha can’t have just one

DaveT -
Don't you hate when you come across one image of a car and can't find anymore? Because that's the case with this e30 on Work Emotions (not CR Kai as explained here). No matter how much I search I keep coming across the same old ass picture. Maybe it's just me and perhaps I suck at using Google but I need more!

Buy this so I won’t

DaveT -
My vinyl guy, Mat at Seche Media, is selling his modified 2007 Mazda Speed3 for an exceptionally low price, low enough that I have considered picking it up, transferring some parts from my car to his and then selling my own. However in an effort to avoid putting myself into bankruptcy (just got a house, laptop, new snowboard) I figured it's best to give his car more exposure so one of you can purchase it rather than myself. This car is well maintained and comes with a number of top dollar modifications, take a look.

I miss my car

DaveT -
My car has been in the shop for about a week now for warranty rust repair so I have been either taking the public transit or hitching rides with my girlfriend. For the most part being chauffeured around has not really bothered me but seeing the latest pictures of Kevin's hatch on the Mazda 3 forums really made me miss my own car because like JDR's car Kevin's has been one which I look to for inspiration.

WTF Friday: Lowrider style Auburn Speedster

DaveT -
Until this car I had never heard of Auburn in the autmotive context (only bmx) however when I saw this car I instantly became interested. After a quick stop on wiki I learned that Auburn's only existed way before my time (1900-1936) before going under due to the fact that their cars, while beautiful, were not really priced correct for the depression era. Unsurprisingly, today, both Auburns and Auburn replica Auburns are quite rare which is what makes this car even more unique.

Readers rides: Facebook fans part 3

DaveT -
I've noticed quite a bit of user uploads to the Facebook fan page lately, in addition to new users in general, so I felt that a new readers rides post was in order. I always love seeing what you guys are up to as it gives me an idea of what kind of things I should post more and less of as well as gives me ideas for my own car.

Victoria: The place to be

DaveT -
I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to rx-8s. I generally prefer the RX-7 but every once and awhile someone comes along and really nails the RX-8 to the point where I consider fully committing to the 'I love RX-8' side of the fence. This just happens to be one of those cars. The owner kept things simple with the right stance, the right wheels, and essentially stock body.

WTF Friday: Not so furious?

DaveT - 13
I've got to say I am pretty surprised that no one saw anything too crazy at the Fast Five Premieres in their respective areas. Perhaps it's a sign of car modification trending towards cleaner, simpler, mods, or maybe it's just a sign that I should have put a better prize up for submitting photos 😛 Anyway no big deal, the show must go on so I have some perplexing cars from the same thread I got this gem of a car from.

Theme Tuesdays: Waterfest 17 favorites

DaveT - 13
Waterfest was this weekend if you didn't now (I am sure most of you did) and while I have delusions of grandeur that one day I will have budget (and time) to travel to more events across the border it has yet to happen. So like I did for Wekfest 2011 I decided to live vicariously through other photographers and post my personal favorites of the photos I have seen so far from Waterfest 17.

WTF Friday: Man destroys CF hood because it won’t sell

DaveT - 4
This is really weird, a member on JDMrides had a CF DA hood for sale that 11 people said they would but all flaked out for one reason or another. So instead of throwing it in a corner and waiting for a new buyer the seller got frustrated and filmed himself destroying the usable hood. There is something to be said here about the western society and waste but that's for more sophisticated blogs, here I just say WTF.
