Bagged

When I met Neil for the first time at the local skatepark here in Mississauga he had just sold his supercharged e36 and picked up this black MKV. My memory isn't quite what it used to be but I seem to recall him saying something about not getting too crazy with this car and only wanting to change a couple things here and there to make it more enjoyable to drive when he is back home between semesters of school in England.

As I'm sure many of you know I put off the Turbo Dodge Theme Tuesday for as long as possible because it was hard to pull together and I wasn't sure the juice was worth the squeeze. However had I known that posting a few snail equipped Mopars would lead to my first introduction to this Stingray I would have done it a hell of a lot sooner.

Since the positive reception of the first Oliver's Travels Ollie seems to have be stepped up his game in regards to the variety and quality of cars he sends through. Actually.... that is not really true he's always submitted a wide assortment of straight up bad ass cars. It's only now that I have started to compile them into posts have I realized just how diverse his submissions really are. If there was ever to be some sort of automotive Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit challenge I would want Ollie on my team...

I'm pretty sure not everyone is going to like this car and that's alright because I am almost absolutely positive the owner doesn't care, and I just like to see just what kind of cars I can get away with posting before one of you has me committed (or at the very least disconnects my internet). According to -273 before this car became what it is today it started as some kind of 50s Ford.

This '74 Ford Coupe has been kickin' around my hard drive for awhile now because I wasn't sure if I wanted to include it in another post or throw it up solo but I recently found a few more pictures of it so solo it is. Wearing what I can only assume to be natural patina and appropriate sign art on the side this Ford looks right at home in the weeds.

For the third e30 Theme Tuesday installment I hooked up with fellow maxbimmer member Steve (Bullet Ride) who in addition to owning an e30 runs a tumblr called God's Chariot that I happen to follow. God's Chariot, in Steve's opinion, just happens to be the e30.

The guys from idub.ca dropped a link to their fanpage on the Stance Is Everything fanpage the other week and since I had not been to the site in awhile I took a look around. After a few laps around the forums I loaded up the homepage and found the following pictures of Justin's GTI.

Certainly going really heavy on the bagged cars this week, not 100% intentional, but how could you not like an e30 as beautiful as this? The recipe for success in this case is a clean late model, Gotti wheels in specs that suit the car to a tee, a dash of stretch, and a healthy serving of low.

One of the most unnecessary arguments in the automotive community, in my opinion, is the static vs air debate. I just don't get it, people should get down how they want to get down and that should be the end of it.

Minitruckers are no strangers to wild front end swaps, some turn out great and some turn out not so great. I stumbled across this s10 Blazer with a c10 front end when I was pulling together this weeks 'no shine' Theme Tuesday and thought it was worthy of a post of its own outside of that due to how unique it is. This front end manages to be a huge departure from the standard Blazer front end but not look entirely out of place once you get over the initial shock.

2010. That post was made up of mostly black cars and with a couple cars switched out it could have easily passed for a 'murdered out' Theme Tuesday. This go round I took a little more time picking out the cars to include and pulled together a wider variety of cars including modern, euro, and the cars mysteriously missing from the last post, classics.

If this truck could talk prior to becoming part of the Taylor'd Customs fleet it would have told the same stories any other 54 year old truck would. Tales of journeys to and from work or the farm, first dates, and perhaps a trip to a hospital for a child birth (or two) are nothing out of the ordinary of a truck this vintage. Dragging frame from from Ajax Ontario to Ohio though? That is a little less typical and a welcome turn of the page in the history of this awesome 57 Chevy 3200.
