Yesterday I mentioned that the 2010 CSCS finale had an absolutely stellar turnout, the best of any CSCS I had attended personally. There were cars everywhere, on the track, in the pits, and all over the visitor parking, it seemed like everyone and there mom was out at Cayuga. Today I have 30 plus photos of what I saw off the track and away from the show and shine, few unique/rarity's here.

Originally this Theme Tuesday was just going to be low cars having trouble getting over steep grades which lead to a wheel being hung in the air. However after looking at (and taking) photos of cars getting up on three wheels while cornering I decided to combine both ways of three wheeling into this Theme Tuesday.

Last week was fairly Import heavy and most of this week will be drift heavy so to show a little love to those who read the blog and are a fan of classic cars I swung by the Applewood Plaza cruise in last week and took some photos. The turnout was not the largest that I've seen but it sure wasn't the smallest either, and I got to chat with Rod, the owner of the Turbonique Rocket Kart, some more about just how crazy the whole Jet powered vehicle thing was.

Ever wonder what would happen if someone went to your local automotive parts store (Canadian Tire, Autozone, Pepboys etc), picked up the accessory catalog, and proceeded to order, then install 90% of the products listed regardless of whether or not the properly fit their vehicle? Well even if the above scenario has never crossed your mind this s10 is an accurate representation of what happens. This trucks got a lot going on and unfortunately none of it good.

To hold you guys over until I get a chance to start rolling out my CSCS coverage here are some Euro Rods courtesy of 'go kart tire fitment ,ollie'. Ollie admits that he is not the biggest fan of traditional America Rods (because they typically don't handle well) but he is a big fan of these. I have not see a whole lot of euro rods before so I enjoyed these, hopefully you do too.

I've had some issues before with scheduled posts and since the week before and after my move might be kind of hectic I thought I should probably get the bugs worked out before hand. If all goes to plan this edition of Random Dopeness should go up as I am at the Next Mod 1 year anniversary meet. *crosses fingers* Well it didn't go to plan and this is one week late, better late than never!

One of my favorite parts of the original Transformers series was when Jazz, or Optimus, would assemble a group of Autobots to go on a mission, more specifically when Optimus would yell 'Roll out!' before they would drive off into the sunset ready to whoop up some Decipticons. What does this have to do with today's Theme Tuesday? Nothing really I just felt like sharing, enjoy this second edition of rolling shots for this Tuesday.

I remember the first time I was on a message board and saw someone speak highly of a Ford Escort, I thought they were crazy, until they posted a picture. It was then I realized that for whatever reason the North American market really got the shaft when it came to Escorts. We could have got something cool.

Since I added the Facebook 'like' button to the post pages last night I figured today would be the perfect time to do another edition of 'Readers Rides' from the facebook fan page. The fan page has been really active lately so it you are not a fan already take a look as I often post things on there that don't make it here, and generally try and be just as interactive on there as I am here. Anyway, enough plugs, let's check out some of your rides.

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.

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.
