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.

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.

I'm sure we have all seen something like this before, someone takes a car with rear end damage and instead of getting it repaired traditionally (or just scraping the thing) the make some sort of El Camino bastard child. I can't really imagine how you go about getting these things insured since they would probably crumple like a ball of paper in an accident, and I doubt 2 of the 3 posted today go down the street straight, but hey its DIY?

Last Saturday I felt the need for a little bit of change from the super slammed, stretch tire, flush type of stance and decided to head out to the weekly Street Classics Show and Shine at Canadian Tire Etobicoke and take in some real American Metal. Since it was a long weekend the turnout was smaller than usual but 20 cars or 200 I still enjoy these shows, it's something about the atmosphere.

My friend Keith has been working on his Model T coupe for the past four or so years and last Friday the angry bastard fired up and screamed at the world. The Olds 303 in this car sounds mean as hell and I can't wait until he has it on the road, and yes I will get more pictures of it when it's up and running.

When I first saw these pictures it took a little while for me re realize what was going on. My brain struggled with the fact that someone drove on public roads like this. I really wish there was video to go with it, imagine the stopping distance?

I like Volvos and I love low riders, but together I'm not 100% convinced it's a good idea. What 90% of the population thinks be-damned though since this cardomain member decided to throw caution to the wind and build the low rider he always wanted out of his 760 Turbo estate.

Don't mind if I do.

This weekend I got a chance to check out the Performance World show here in Toronto, according to advertising this is the largest car show in Canada. While I am not sure if that is true I will say that I was fairly impressed at the diversity of the cars in attendance. I took a lot of photos and as usual I am going to pay respect to the OG's and have the muscle cars and hot rods go first.

Not too long ago I let everyone know that the Infamous Project e36 turned out to be lower than it's inital rendering so it's no surprise that the other car Chris Savard is building for The Infamous Project may in fact be the lowest static dropped 5.0 around.

This Saturday I went to the Toronto International Auto show, which I used to go to all the time with my dad as a young buck but this is only my second year going as an 'adult'. Going the Saturday before the show closed was perhaps a mistake as the show got busier as the day went on making it harder and harder to take photos.
