I like cars, this info is not new to any of you, I also really like to ride BMX and if for whatever reason I had to pick between the two I would probably chose the latter. However, I don't see having to choose anytime soon so I have decided for this Theme Tuesday to combine my two interests and post cars owned by fellow riders.

After last weeks Theme Tuesday on muscle cars I was in the mood to check some out in person once again so I made my way out to the local Street Classics cruise in on Saturday Night. Unfortunately soon after I arrived it started to rail lightly which put a quick end to things, but, I was able to fire off some shots and get something for WTF Friday. I also meet a real down to earth s-10 owner in the process, good times.

Bryan from Infamous Auto Art recently sent in some shots he took at Scrape By The Lake and Jitter bug 2010. Bryan's been out shooting local shows for the past year or so and I've posted up a few of his shots here previous. It's always a treat to another persons artistic take on an event you have gone to. Nothing beats clean cars, and local talent, I love our scene.

Take a small car (preferably)rear wheel drive car, strip out basically everything, add a roll cage and a fire extinguisher (do not add giant roof wing), and proceed to only turn one direction on a natural race track surface and what do you have? Well, apparently, you have Britain's most popular form of grass roots motor sport, Autograss. I just found out about Autograss last week and with tons of classes for every level of racer (both financial level and skill wise) Autograss looks like a great way to have a lot of relativity cheap fun. I want in!

I'm in a gas wasting, deafening exhaust, bend the ground with torque type of mood today and the only cure for that is a lot of pictures of Muscle cars. Hope you don't mind.

The third and final part of the automotive coverage from Scrape By The Lake are the type of cars you would expect at your average car show. Actually if you think about it this section was the size or a normal car show making Scrape kind of like three car shows in one... Anyway, quite a few unique rides here as well.

Part 2 of the multi-part Scrape By The Lake coverage is all about the trucks. I was really impressed at the trucks that came out this year and last year. The trucks I saw last year had new mods and the new trucks I saw this year were crazy. If you like your trucks low this post is for you.

Last year I went to Scrape By The Lake for the first time and had a blast. Scrape is one of the most unique car shows in all of Ontario and while it's mainly a low rider show there are classes and cars for everyone's tastes. This year they invited me back with media pass based on my coverage from last year which I was able to get inside the hop pit and get close to the action. Part 1 of the coverage contains pictures of the traditional Low Lows and bikes along with the hop contest photos.

CCW is one of a few custom wheel manufacturers who have really been making an impact on the internet lately and it's no surprise since they make gorgeous looking wheels to essentially. Their classics and LM20 models are their most popular it would see but I have yet to see a set of wheels from them I didn't like. After seeing two set's on the weekend at Tuners Against Street Racing I figured an appropriately themed Tuesday was in order.

On Sunday July 11th I attended the charity Tuners Against Street Racing show and shine for the third year in a row. This year to switch things up a bit I entered with Team JH instead of Team Toronto Mazda 3 and we were able to take home best team award which was pretty cool. Like previous years the event went off fairly well considering mother nature decided to cool us down in the middle of the day with a quick thunderstorm. I got to catch up and shoot the breeze with a bunch of old/new friends which is pretty much all I ask for from an event.

This weekend was the 5th Annual Voice Coil Meltdown and Tuner Jam Show put on by Division R Performance and hosted at Selective Sound in Mississauga. Since I had missed this show all four previous years I made a mental note to attend this one even before Sam had invited me out to the event to cover and sponsor it. The show had a great turnout and for the most part the weather cooperated, here are the photos from this year and I hope to make it out again next year.

Last Sunday I decided to treat my dad to a classic car show for Fathers day and with the 'Classics Against Cancer' show being the same day I figured it was meant to be, unfortunately even though the show was scheduled until 4 a lot of the cars started rolling out at 3:30. While I was quite disappointed my dad seemed to enjoy the show regardless of the fact lot of cars had already left. Since a lot of the cars were gone by the time we arrived today's coverage is a little different than my normal fare but if you like anything on wheels you will enjoy.
