Event Coverage: 2010 Gumball 3000 Toronto

DaveT -
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.

WTF Friday: red lights are optional?

DaveT -
I saw a thread on jdmrides containing compilations of clips captured by red light cameras. Before watching this video I didn't really have any idea how ballsy some people are when the run red lights. Some people just gun it and pray while others are just oblivious and cruise on through. This footage will shock and amaze you...

Volvo Memories

DaveT -
Growing up my dad was a car guy, he used to take me to the Toronto International Auto Show, buy me remote control cars and got me hooked on building models. For almost as far back as I can remember his 91 Volvo 940se was his pride and joy. This car was my first introduction to RWD luxury and my dads 'family compromise' so to speak. He loved this car and would often take me for spirited drives showing me the effects of over steer as we went. I often hoped this car would be mine but sadly this was not the case.

Noah is in the hood

DaveT -
Bad title I know, but moving past that, Noah at EKhatch is posting regularly again and has done something pretty interesting with his hood. He's brought it down to metal and thrown some WW2 era Rob Schwager graphics on it for this summer.

Theme Tuesdays: E36s

DaveT -
Not sure why it took me this long to do a Theme Tuesday dedicated to e36s but it did, so without further adieu here is something for the e36 lovers. Warning you will see lots and lots of style 5's in this post, but that's not a bad thing. I also included a few local e36s in the mix.

Level One doing big things

DaveT -
Last week I posted a sick STI on Advans sharing lens space with an equally sick s2000 and the week before that I posted a flush s2000 on blue Volks which was the car that started the local s2000 onslaught. Today I've got some more photos of the s2000 and STI, along with a TSX, 350z and the Civic SI you might have seen hiding in the original s2000 shoot.

Kick Game

DaveT -
Maybe it's just me but I have always thought these cars looked like shoes, not to say they are not capable of looking good or performing well (as this post proves), but they still look like shoes. Maybe the perfect car for a sneaker aficionado?

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

DaveT -
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.

WTF Friday: Ertefak happened?

DaveT - 8
On Wednesday it was announced that local car meet Ertefa was -at least temporarily- no longer welcome at the venue it had been occupying. If I am not mistaken this is the second time they have had to leave a location but unlike the first time size wasn't the issue.

The Recipe

While I was gathering photos for the Chevy Belair Theme Tuesday I came across this Impala wagon that just about steered the entire post towards wagons. It's got a great stance, impeccable paint, and a set of wheels that, despite their simplicity, really pull the car together.

Event Coverage: ’10 Maxbimmer Midnight Cruise

DaveT - 11
Keven and I headed out to the meeting spot for 2010 Maxbimmer midnight cruise on Friday night and while we didn't go on the cruise itself from what I read it went off without incident which is great because a whirly bird was floating above the meeting spot at about 11:30. There is always a great variety of cars at this spot (as it's a meeting spot for other clubs as well) so here are some of the photos I took while Keven got a chance to catch up with some old faces.

Theme Tuesdays: Duallys

DaveT - 7
Of all the lowered/dropped/slammed/sparking vehicles I have shown people not into 'the scene' the two that provoke the most reaction are vans and duallys. With Vans people just can't wrap their heads around why someone bothered to modify a family hauler and with duallys they scream bloody murder that the truck is now useless. The funny thing is 90% of these people couldn't put a dually to better use themselves so I am not sure what the big deal is, these things look great on the floor.
