In the four-year span between this post and the original LS400 Theme Tuesday post people have pushed the first and second generation LS400 chassis passed what was previously deemed possible. Whether it be wider, lower, faster...

March might be Theme Tuesday greatest hits month as I'm bringing back the 'dat ass' Theme Tuesday for another go round, thanks to a throwback track I heard on my way home from work. The last post...

It's pretty crazy to think that in only two and a half days at SEMA I was able to amass so much coverage that, even still I'm not through editing it all. I couldn't imagine...

Last Saturday Pfaff Tuning and the Scraped Crusaders threw a relaxed BBQ and show and shine at the Pfaff headquarters in Vaughn. The event wasn't anything overly elaborate and focused on the most important aspects of...

Occasionally people ask what I think makes a great show, and my answer typically centres around variety and  the feel of a backyard BBQ. As someone who likes a wide variety of cars and tuning styles...

Today Drake and myself continue our coverage of Importfest 2014, and this set runs through more of the overall show field. There's some familiar cars, along with a new comer or two, and an elaborate internet...

The dark days of winter have descended on Ontario marking the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a damn cold off season. A slight silver lining to a season of slush, and vehicle killing salt is that Winter Wednesdays have returned once more. Leading off this season of snowy posts is Work VS-XX equipped Lexus sitting on some fresh powder.

If you were to ask my late nineties self whether or not I liked the LS400 I my answer would have been no, partially because I was a dumb kid and partially because I wasn't much into luxury sedans, especially ones that were often two tone. Over time my tastes have matured and like a fine wine the LS400 has got better with age to the point where if I were in the market for big luxury sedan one of these would float to the top of my list.

Weighing in on the static vs. air debate isn't really something I like to do because I feel people should get down how they get down and not worry about how, but I will say that there is something to be said for a clean static car with spot on fitment. I'm not talking cars that are easily identified as static from fifteen feet away due to smashed bumpers, questionable panel gaps, and catchy slogan covered munched quarters.

A few weeks ago Importfest hosted a 'Mega Meet' --aka a show and shine-- at Sherway Nissan is Mississauga. The event was open to all make and model of vehicles with speciality awards reserved for Nissan entrants. Dealership shindigs are often hit or miss but this one was pretty solid offering up a variety of cars from classics all the way to big money exotics. In addition to cars there were a few food vendors, the Grey Cup, a handful of cheerleaders, and a couple Toronto Argonaut players.

Since opening their flagship Markham store in '09 Nextmod has been steadily working hard to become a household name among tuners in Canada. A Montreal store is in the works and their Ottawa location opened mid summer. Exactly one week ago Nextmod opened their third store in Mississauga to an extremely positive reception and large turnout.
