Dropped

I Found this Subaru on bikeguide, a bmx message board, with no link or info. Google searching Eric Tong, and Joe Dantone lead me their respective facebook pages where I noted that these photos were taken in October of 2010. While that doesn't make this photo set new by any means, there is simply no way I couldn't post photos of this car. The exterior is clean, the stance is on point and the photographers captured the car beautifully.

Last week I played things pretty safe with the Vintage JDM Theme Tuesday This week I've decided to not go as safe and finally post up a Theme Tuesday I've been working on for awhile: Slammed Big Rigs. Sure slamming a big rig is kind of a silly thing to do but I wouldn't complain if I saw these on the road hauling McDonalds patties.

Hat's off too anyone who's rocking a white on white setup well, the constant up keep that is required combined with the fact that there are so many different shades of white to contend with makes it much harder to 'white out' a car then black one out. Those are the excuses I use for not doing it anyway. Never the less when properly executed the look is hard look to beat.

Not sure how or where I came across this car, and I have not seen it anywhere since. Even typing a few search terms into Google didn't really return anything relevant (to this car at least). To make things more bleak I renamed the photos as I saved them so who knows what they were originally called. If I only had one photo saved I would have sworn it was a photo shop, but since there are three...

A few years ago I saw a Volkswagen Mark II with a sticker on it that read "CCM - Clean Car Revolution" and while I'm fairly certain that at this point the owner of that car, and whoever coined that phrase, has moved on the revolution continues to live through cars like Jon's 2004 350z. Clean might be a word I use far too often on this site but it's the perfect word to describe Jon's car because it looks simply amazing without the need for a wild body kit, loud paint, or camber that's practically horizontal.

Last week the weather got fairly mild with a few double digit days and since this happened right at the end of winter (according to the calendar) people got excited. However this always happens late March and as soon as you have your car back to summer mode it snows the following week just as reminder that it's not over till it's over. So I did nothing, mid to late April for me, never before!

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to build a proper mini truck so throughout high school I spent countless hours thumbing through the latest issues of Mini Truckin' and Sport Truck magazines. Chances are pretty good that at some point in my search for slammed truck inspiration I was looking at photos taken by today's very talented and several times published featured photographer, Johnny O.

I had every intention of finishing off the rest of the Performance World coverage today and then work just kicked the living crap out of me and is continuing to do so. Good thing I had this gem tucked away. I first saw this eg on eyegasmic cars and immediately popped the watermark into google to find more photos. After a bit of clicking I found the source (flickr.com/oncam) and more photos of the car.

After reading other sites with weather envy all winter it felt pretty good to head out to a local event and get some photos this weekend. A lot of people have said that PW wasn't as good this year in regards to turn out but I think for a show at the end of winter the turnout was pretty good. It takes a lot of dedication to get your car all cleaned up for three days and then drive it back out in the muck right after. This year I've decided to switch things up a bit by posting the more modern Imports, Euros, and American cars first leaving the rat rods, traditional rods, and muscle cars to later.

When I had my e30 I drove it all year round, like all of my cars, and I found that they are quite capable winter vehicles if your heat works well, you have winter tires, and a little weight in the boot. It also doesn't hurt if you can stand to watch them get covered in salt half of the year and not cringe. I suppose the same can be said for most any car I suppose but seeing an e30 covered in salt is quite tragic as they are God's Chariot after all. This e30 was posted in one of several 'Post your car in the winter' threads I follow and it's doing a pretty good job of blending in with its surroundings.

Putting together Theme Tuesday posts is a guaranteed way to assassinate any other plans I have in an evening. I had every intention last night to finish of this Accord post and get to playing PS3 quickly until I ended up learning you can lower K cars with stock first gen Neon parts, and that MKII big bumpers fit on Dodge Ominis. How did that all happen? I dunno, the internet is a time monster. Anyway here is the Accord post I was working on before I got sidetracked.

Went relic hunting again on my hard drive and pulled out this Civic deep from the archives. I'm fairly sure i pulled it from a Honda-Tech thread one of the seven or so times I've actually browsed the site. Nothing on this car is particularly in your face but it's clean, simple, and low and comes together quite nicely which makes for a nice easy quick post after a busy weekend. 🙂
