Honda

For those of you who are, or already have, started a family and are looking for a fun way to get the tribe involved in something automotive based then you might want to take some cues from this wrench holding handy man as he's obviously has it all figured out. First you need two Dodge Caravan's, one running and one for parts, then you need a truck frame to put everything onto and once that's done gather the kids for the camouflage paint job. When it dries stand back and admire what you've created.

I mentioned yesterday on facebook that the test fit of my new wheels went pretty poorly, but before I get into that I should back track and let you guys know what my goal for these new wheels is. What I hope to have purchased is a set of Work Equip 5 spokes in 17x8 (et38) and 17x9 (et44) fitment. The plan, through lots of research, was to run these with 215/45/17s all around and be happy with not a lot of poke and no excessive amounts of camber.

According to their website the Tokyo Auto Salon is "the world’s largest auto exhibition with more than 600 vehicles on display". To me that reads as ' SEMA, in Japan, and larger'. While I didn't get to go Peter from Nextmod worked it into his well deserved vacation from the shop and uploaded a ton of photos from the event to Nextmod's facebook fan page. He gave me permission to re post some here for those of you who are not yet fans of theirs on facebook and I jumped at the opportunity.

One 'drawback' to compiling the Classy Car Model Theme Tuesdays is that I often end up coming across lots of photos of women with cars that are the standard fare, you know, the scantily clad woman with a nice car type of photo. All of the photos in today's post were chosen because of the car in the photo, the woman in the photo, or the photography, I'll leave it to you guys to speculate in the comments what was the determining factor in each. Sorry in advance ladies, also this one may be NSFW.

Man, whats up with all the sick Orange EG's lately? When I posted this one before I called it an 'epic save' and if the owner keeps doing what he is doing I might just have to upgrade it to best Civic save ever. Fittingly this B16b powered, pumpkin orange, hatch was voted ' Hatchback Of The Month' for October on Clubeg6.com. If you ask me it's well deserved honor.

Clean Civic's always seem to resonate with me because I'm so used to seeing them either riced out, rusted out, or a tragic combination of the two. This particular Civic has been a resident of my hard drive for some time now and I've skipped over posting it time and time again, but not today. Looking at this car again overall I admire it's simplicity and that is the reason I saved it to my 'automotive' folder in the first place.

This might be the coolest Civic Wagovan I have seen since Bisimotos 700hp D16 beast or the one in the famous Wagon Attack 2 video. If these things didn't rust to hell so easy there would probably be quite a few cool ones around. Oh well I guess the best thing to do would be appreciate what we've got left. Big fan of this one.

I was surfing JDMR the other day and I noticed that the red DC in this post is up for sale/being parted while the white one is going under the knife for a 2011 transformation. This means that these photos, which are not all that old, are now time capsules of the last time these cars wore their Mugen inspired look. I'm not sure what the owners plan to do next but judging by what they have already accomplished it's safe to say that what they are pushing in 2010 will look at least this good.

This winter has been pretty wild so far: two hours away people have been getting snow almost non stop for a week and a half while even farther in away in Ontario people were stuck on the highway in their cars for a couple days. Here in GTA it's just been cold, so that I don't even want to bother setting up my new snowboard, the board which I am reminded of not because of the weather but because Eric has two strapped to the roof of his beater in this Mike Joe photo shoot.

This car is easily one of my favorite EG's in the area. I followed the initial build closely on jdmrides.ca (actually the main reason I joined the site) and have continued to watch the car evolve from daily driver/track car to track car/daily driver as the years have gone by. Over the winter Spenser plans to do even more function oriented work to the car so that next year it's even more of a contender out on the Shannonville Track.

This is going to be the second last set of coverage and it's pretty substantial, 50 plus photos from the outside of the show so if you are on a phone or a stressed connection give it some time. Imagine the net worth of all the cars on the convention center grounds during the week? That's a lot of money.

I swear I did a Theme Tuesday like this before but it turns out I only posted a small collection of car derrieres. It's kind of funny that not even two years in I am already losing track of what I've posted, anyway my poor memory aside today's Theme is the ass end of cars. I tried my best to get only direct back shots but I made a few exceptions in cases I deemed appropriate, hopefully you do as well.
