As I mentioned in part one CSCS finale events are always some of the most exciting to attend and heading into this rounds CSCS I had visions of shooting the track coverage from different locations than I had at previous events. Sadly, a bum (fractured) foot, and a disturbingly cool breeze, put a bit of a damper on those plans and I spent most of my time camped at familiar corners. I'm still pretty happy with most of these shots though and shooting from on the track as a whole.

The CSCS season finale is always an exciting event to attend because while some are gunning to set records on the track others are looking to secure year end awards in the show and shine. For myself and several others the excitement began on the way to the track with a surprise emissions/safety spot check by the Ministry of Transportation right off the highway.

Remember two years or so ago when an x5 owner from Thorn Hill went 4x4ing all over two innocent cars at the gym? Hilarious right? Well that scenario is slightly less hilarious when one of the cars used in the makeshift monster truck rally happens to belong to your better half.

This years Option JDM BBQ took place the same day as Berlin Klassik which put me in the tough position of having to choose between two events that I've never attended before. Like most of life's tough decsions I made this one with my gut and opted to head out to the one with free food which was Option's shindig in Markham.

Rolling with the tone set by Erik's feature today I am going to post a selection of platforms not commonly seen within the stance community. I did something similar before called 'Untraditional Low' but I prefer' uncommon' better (there is of course no telling how I will feel about calling it that in two years time).

When I heard the 2012 Toronto Subaru Club was hosting their annual HyperMeeting the day after Importfest I wasn't entirely sure I would end up to attending because historically in addition to not having much of a voice, and full capture cards I've generally been exhausted the day after IF. However the last Hypermeeting I had been to was in 2009 and this year my friend and previous featured ride owner Tim Neil let me know he was bringing out his Bat-Berry project so I sucked it up and headed down to Subaru Canada Headquarters.

Picking right back up where we left off here is the second batch of the show day coverage from Importfest. I actually didn't intend to do two separate posts but once I started going through the photos I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to keep things in and around the standard 40-50 photos.

I've heard people grumbling on message boards that car shows going the way of the dodo due to people showing up to parking lot meets in record numbers but anyone who was at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Saturday knows that is simply not true. Meets will always have their place but shows like Importfest are not going anywhere. Proof of this was that at any given time there was a huge line of people waiting to get inside to check out the show.

Another Importfest has come and gone which means this week is going to be almost completely dominated with coverage from the event. I haven't had a chance to go through all of my photos but on first glance I estimate about three posts worth of material.

I've been meaning to do a post where all of the captions are song lyrics for some time now but I had been putting it off because I kept forgetting which lyrics I wanted to reference soon after the song finished. However using the last set of Importfest tickets I have to give away as motivation I've managed to pull together 14 for today's post.

Sunday was one hell of a busy day here in Ontario with four events occurring simultaneously, which is actually something that has been occurring more often than not this year. The first of event getting coverage this week is round fourth round of the 2012 Canadian Sport Compact Series which was back at Toronto Motorsports Park Cayuga.

Coming from a country where parts are not easy to come by at a reasonable price enthusiasts in Ukraine do a damn good job of working with what is available locally and patiently waiting their time to receive what is not. This Civic happens to be the third Ukrainian car to be featured here on Stance Is Everything and like the ones before it it this car is a head turner without being over the top.
