Featured Ride: Aidan’s VIP IS300

Cruising through the streets of Yorkville I watch as Aidan carefully navigates his way past potholes and any parts of the road eager to damage his Crimson Inc Linea Sport rims and Version Select body parts. Riding in the plush passenger seat I look past the Junction Produce curtains, and through the dark tints, at the reflection staring back at me and it's at this moment I understand why the VIP style and culture are so appealing.

Event Coverage: A Sunday BBQ

Last Sunday I was invited out to a pub in Markham for a casual gathering of local car enthusiasts. It was great to go from the busy car show atmosphere to a lazy patio venue all in the same weekend and just further proves that no matter how you love your cars the GTA has something for you. The afternoon was a great opportunity for me to meet quite a few people I have interacted with online, in person for and see a lot of their cars first hand outside of the typical show venue.

Event Coverage: Importfest 2010 Pt. 2

Here is part two of the 2010 Importfest Coverage including some of the rides from the Division R, Sic Ryde and Nextmod teams along with the winner of the 'Baddest Stance' category which I helped judge. Additionally there are some awards ceremony shots and a couple girls. Off the top I would just like to thank Basit, Neil, Dave and the rest of the judges/organizers who put the show on for having me out to cover the event and letting me be a small part of it. Congratulations on a great 10 year anniversary guys.

Theme Tuesdays: FD RX-7s

I know I've done this body style of RX-7 before but truth be told there are so many nice ones out there that I will probably do the same theme a few more times. Sorry for the amount repeats lately but I am working on a couple of unique Theme Tuesdays but they take time to pull together. Besides it's nothing but love for rotary's right?

Event Coverage: Importfest 2010 Pt. 1

The tenth anniversary of Importfest went down this weekend and it was really one to remember, the show was about the same size as last year but the caliber of cars on the floor seemed to be quite a bit higher. The team entries were off the hook, the stage always had something going on, and the women looked great, not to mention the new best stance award category which I was lucky enough to have a hand in judging. Today's coverage is a little bit of everything so there should be a little something for everyone.

Windows no tints, cars, no rims…

With certain cars sometimes to make a heard turner all you need to do is drop them to the ground, the cars which usually respond best to the 'just slam' treatment are ones that are normally not in the hands of people who would put them on the ground. Visually this Benz has no other modifications than a healthy drop, and if it never received anything else it would still look great.

White Letters

I hardly ever post on Saturday, more so this early on a Saturday, but an s2k dumped on one of my favorite rims with meaty white letter Falkens and minimal stretch? I like this, I like this a lot. Props to the owner and the photographer as both the car and photography are well put together.

WTF Friday: Who keeps this in a forest?

Today's WTF Friday is a sad tale of a car that was ridden very hard, stripped and put away soaking wet. This e30 (non M thankfully) used to be an S38 powered full out track car which reportedly had it's fair share of tough times on the track and now sits in the forest as a home for all sorts of vermin.

The ‘What Is Sic Ryde’ contest winner is….

First, on behalf of myself and Sic Ryde I would like to thank everyone who entered the 'What Is Sic Ryde' contest. Everyone brought their creativity and originality to the table and reading all of the answers was a lot of fun, especially for me since I don't even know the true answer myself. Unfortunately just like how there can only one Sic Ryde, there can also only one winner of the Importfest tickets and that winner is....

Event Coverage: 2010 Gumball 3000 Toronto

I could have called this 'Event Coverage: Rich People Envy' because after I left Yorkville, where the Gumball cars cruised to in Toronto, I was fairly jealous of what all of the Gumball participants get to do. Driving from city to city in a 'rally' and stopping off at local tracks and party hot spots and having enough money have to care about things going wrong is every automotive enthusiasts dream.

Indecisive

I've heard of indecisiveness before but this is pretty crazy. Wicked Mayhem from s10forum.com is a pretty crazy guy who works faster than most people and always has more than one project in the works at any given time. One guarantee with Wicked is that no matter what vehicle he drives it's not going to stay stock height, but it might be both lowered and lifted during his ownership.

If a b.o.v. goes off in the forrest does it make a sound?

This is hands down the most attractive and purpose built Forrester I have ever seen, from what I can tell and have been told it has an sti drive line and obviously some suspension mods. I wouldn't mind seeing and learning a bit more about this car so I think I am going to try and get in contact with the guy who took the photos.
