WTF Friday: Poor Benz

It's not really a secret that I don't like Donks, I don't really see what there is to like about them and I'm quite thankful that around here they are few and far between. For those of you from the Southern States I feel for you as I could not imagine seeing rides like these on a regular basis, this poor Kompressor never stood a chance.

Event Coverage: ’10 Maxbimmer Midnight Cruise

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.

WTF Friday: Jet ski fail

Jet ski's are a lot of fun, provided you don't flip them in the middle of the lake and have to get towed by a fishing boat back in to fix it, but getting them to and from the lake can be a bit of a challenge. Getting it out of a lake becomes more of challenge if you don't have a proper trailer to do so. These two guys almost had a method worked out to but then mother nature, gravity, and common sense took over which resulted in a nice little fail.

Theme Tuesdays: Pictures With Attitude: 3

Another follow up to the 'Pictures with attitude' Theme Tuesday series, these sometimes take a little longer than other themes to come together but they always go over quite well. I'm also about half way through another Classy car model Theme Tuesday as well so fingers crossed I can have that for you guys next week.

WTF Friday: Compact Disasters

I have nothing against compact cars, if you need something to drive with the misses and are not really concerned about performance or hauling miscellaneous crap around with you then they are perfect.. However when modifying them it's best to not use a heavy handed approach but rather with a certain grace & finesse. Most certainly not with a full size body kit and a large quantity of body filler. These talented, but misguided body men decided to throw caution to the wind and go all in, here are the results.

Theme Tuesdays: Mercedes Benz 190e

Being a competitor of the ever loved e30 m3 in the DTM days I initially thought that this Theme Tuesday would practically pull itself together. However I was wrong and it actually took a lot longer than I thought to get a decent collection together. But after a few days I was able to get something going, hope you enjoy.

Benzo

I don't post a lot of Benz's and I have no idea why, I do however know that I want to do a 190e Theme Tuesdays one of these days. Anyway this e55 has been sitting on my hard drive for some time now and I quite like it so it's time to share.

Theme Tuesdays: Pictures With Attitude: 2

After doing the first Pictures with attitude Theme Tuesday I knew that I would have to do a number of follow ups since it was so well received. Hopefully at some point I will be able to take some photos of my own to contribute to this theme, but until then enjoy the best the net has to offer.

WTF Friday: Cars on truck frames

Awhile back I saw some wild lifted cars on the Outlaw videos site (which was linked to on the cardomain blog) and they amused me so I saved the pictures. I know lifted cars are nothing new but sometimes you have to wonder if they are worth the effort involved. Either way over the past few months I came across these pretty often so I figure WTF Friday was a way better way than Theme Tuesday to share them.

Blast from the past: The Collective work on AndreNY

Some consider the Stance/Fitment/Flush up-rise a terrible trash bin worthy fad that is one it's way out, while others acknowledge it as valid facet of the automotive community which is helping the scene move towards a cleaner less is more approach to modification. The dedicated know that it's all nothing new and and have been doing it for years.

Theme Tuesdays: Pics with attitude

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Pictures with attitude

Working with what you’ve got

Sometimes in life you just have to work with what you've got and other times you have to improvise and this is true of the car hobby. Not all of us have a say in what we currently drive and some of us willingly choose to drive something a little left of the norm. Regardless resourceful automotive folk are, well, resourceful automotive folk and while some are quick to pass over whatever is currently sitting in their driveway, shop, or yard others are willing to work with what they have got. Today's cars are examples of just that.
