I almost completely forgot I mentioned on Friday I was going to post today. At some point between doing my taxes, and cleaning the house, I remembered. I suppose I needed a distraction from those two mundane tasks. Here are a couple of my random favorites.

All I can say is wow, the amount of ideas that came in from this giveaway was incredible. You all put forth a number of great realistic ideas which could easily be made into reality. If your idea does become reality I will make sure you get a few from the first run for birthing the idea want your idea to become reality today contact SecheMedia as he can do custom orders. However onto the matter at hand. The people getting free stickers today ,chosen randomly out of the 66, entrants are...

Keeping the whole kit car thing going I've got another local kit car build that's sure to raise a few eyebrows and turn a few heads. Local Subaru nut, Batman fanatic, and all around nice guy Tim Neil is seeing through a life long dream of his and building a Bat Mobile. Not the Barris one most people think of either, he is building the one from the very dark (and very good) original Tim Burton Batman flick.

Stance Is Everything's own intentional correspondent Oliver Pickard recently too his Misses (or she took him) to the Malaga Automotive Museum in Spain, while he was there he took a bunch of photos and emailed them over to me. While most of these cars are one hundred percent stock and none of them anywhere near slammed there is absolutely no way I couldn't share these photos with the class.

It looks like since I left high school my auto teacher has been busy, really busy. He's moved on from turning clapped out Pontiac Fieros into Lamborghini Countach, and Ferrari 355 Spiders, replicas and is now creating full tube chassis BMW V12 (M70 I think) powered Diablo replicas. Helping build a Lamborghini kit had a big impact on my life as a car enthusiast so it's awesome to see that he's still working away at it, and still passing on the love and knowledge of cars to other impressionable youth who would rather be putting welding burns in their shirts than learning calculus.

My friend Jeff recently got out of dodge and skipped to Thailand for an extended vacation, on one hand this sucks because he was a blast to work and one of the best bosses I ever had, but on the flip side it rocks because now I have someone out in Thailand who is willing to go to events (that have women) and take pictures of the cars (and the women). Here are some photos from his recent trip to the 32nd Annual Bangkok Motor Show. Pretty cool to see what a motor show looks like in different country.

Today is April Fools and while I have already been a part of a few pranks here in the office (and avoided any being done to me) I don't really have any to pull on all of you. I had a few over the top plans of elaborate site pranks but procrastination, laziness, and life basically put the end to that. Instead here are just some very questionably styled cars I found online, one of which was famous around these parts for awhile.

Last week I played things pretty safe with the Vintage JDM Theme Tuesday This week I've decided to not go as safe and finally post up a Theme Tuesday I've been working on for awhile: Slammed Big Rigs. Sure slamming a big rig is kind of a silly thing to do but I wouldn't complain if I saw these on the road hauling McDonalds patties.

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to build a proper mini truck so throughout high school I spent countless hours thumbing through the latest issues of Mini Truckin' and Sport Truck magazines. Chances are pretty good that at some point in my search for slammed truck inspiration I was looking at photos taken by today's very talented and several times published featured photographer, Johnny O.

Since last weeks WTF Friday was a little wordy (that guy is blaming tweet-deck ) and I'm going to assume you have all seen the Lamborghini destruction already I've decided for today I am just going to post two hilarious jeeps and one hilarious Hummer. Well, at least I think they are pretty hilarious, though I've had a long week...

Here is the rest of the Performance World coverage I was hoping to have up yesterday before the day spiraled wildly out of control. There are enough pictures in this post to warrant two but I decided to just get them all up at once instead of having you guys wait even longer. The mini trucks and classics make up most of today's post with a few random images dropped in. If you thought Performance World this year was lacking that just means you didn't spend enough time in the vast section of classics.

Last night I had envisioned doing a 'Favorites of Wekfest 2011' Theme Tuesday (since I was not there) but when I started looking for photos I was having a hell of a time finding ones that were not full of hoards of people. I noticed a few better photos popped up this morning but I generally don't like posting Theme Tuesdays after work so here are some more awesome automotive photos I felt needed to be shared.
