The Replacement

There's really no good time to have your daily driver wrecked, but right after having minor paint issues fixed, redoing the air management, and detailing the car bumper to bumper has to rank up there...

WTF Friday: A Volkswagen Named Dotty

While reading a recent post on Speedhunters about the Volkswagen scene in Indonesia, I became fixated on the wildly modified aircooled Volkswagen snuck in at the end of the 'additional photos' part of the post. The...

Theme Tuesdays: Slammed Trucks Haulin Stuff: 2

Predictably my post about moving last week spurred a couple comments urging a post or two around slammed cars with bike racks and low cars hauling stuff. I'll have to double back on both the bike rack and...

And It Is What It Was

Flipping through my rss reader this morning I came across this photo of a DTM e30 M3 wearing the tic tac livery that served as the inspiration for an e36 build at SEMA in 2014. That...

So How Do You Drive That In The Winter?

Unlike many people who drive modified cars until I very recently I've never had the opportunity to own something that wasn't a daily driver, nor have I ever had a winter beater. This means every car I...

Moving Delay

Winter Wednesdays: A new winter begins

The last Winter Wednesday was in March 2010 which was quite some time of ago, so long in fact that some of you may not even know what Winter Wednesdays around here are. The concept is simple on any Wednesday within a 7 day span of snow accumulation in the Mississauga/Toronto area of Ontario, Canada I will post up a lowered car in the snow.

Function Vs. Form

Every day I like to make my rounds in the automotive blogsphere to keep a breast of what's happening in other scenes. One of the blogs I frequent is Speedhunters. For those of you who don't know Speedhunters is an automotive culture blog run by Electronic Arts, this blog touches on every part of the automotive hobby. Every month they do a theme, October was BMW month, and November was slammed month. Surprise, surprise, I was a big fan of slammed month. One thing I did notice via the comments though was that was that quite a few people were not fans of slammed month. It seems most of the people who were not fans based their arguments around function and those who were fans based theirs around form.

Winter Wednesdays: Hoarder

Pat Cyr, Dan Cyr, and Drift Possee are awesome. I keep saying this because it continues to be true as evident from today's photos I lifted from Dan's wall. In the winter months Pat tends to do a lot of the following two things: work on his competition car, and slide his winter car, which also happens to be an ae86. When asked on facebook where Pat gets all his AE86's Dan simply replied: "Ever seen the show Hoarders?"

Event Coverage: Detroit AutoRama Extreme

After dragging our jaws around the floor of the Cobo Center for a few hours Blair said before we left AutoRama we had to go downstairs to check out the other part of the show. Not knowing there was a down stairs I was pretty intrigued by what else the Detroit AutoRama had to offer.
