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.

Looks like Christmas was good to some this year as two of the builds I have been sharing got pretty significant updates over the winter holiday, both the M-tricks Autosports 2002 build and Pat Cyr's F20 AE86 build were updated so let's take a look at what's been done.

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: Race Stance

I've never been a vehicle purist, I am all about doing whatever it takes to get your vehicle to suit your needs, if a motor from another company fits under the hood of your car and can make more power cheaper than one of it's parent brand then by all means put it in there. If you are a die hard Honda Hatch fan and an RWD vehicle fan at the same time and the only way to combine the two means sacrificing a clean CRX shell that a lot of people would pay good money for than so be it. As long as the end result is better than what it started as then why not cut, weld, and modify? I love off the wall builds and these two are some of the GTA's finest.

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.

Being Canada's largest bmw community maxbimmer.com is known for having a few nice rides, however it's been minute since someone on Max built up a simple, clean, low, e36. Doogee has been a max member for awhile now and every time he started a new thread with photos of his car I saved them for a future e36 Theme Tuesday. When he got a new set of wheels and spun his coil overs down I knew that this car deserved a post all to itself.

I spotted these local E90/E92/E93 chassis BMWs during my travels on maxbimmer.com. New luxury cars with a nice set of rims and a drop are the perfect union of stance and class.

A few weeks ago I promised to post Sam's shots of the Maxbimmer Autumn e30 meet. Then I got sidetracked with some other posts today I make good on my promise and liberate these photos from my stanceiseverything@gmail inbox. Enjoy.

I'm not sure if everyone's up on internet memes but one that has been kicking around for a few years now is "Dat Ass". This one started with a picture of rapper Rich Boy biting his lower lip, looking at the picture it's easy to imagine he just saw a girl with a nice Gluteus maximus bit his bottom lip and made that 'ssss' noise right before saying look at 'dat ass'. Its really the best thing Rich Boy ever contributed to the internet and the segue I am using to post some cars with nice rear ends.
