A number of crazy creations have graced the  WTF Friday category over the last few years but this might be the most bizarre. This car, which I can only assume used to be a Pontiac based on the wheels and tail lights, looks to be constructed almost completely out of body filler and expandable foam.

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.

OEM wheel swapping seems to be growing in popularity and creativity as the years go by. A few years ago the go to wheel to put on pretty well everything was the Corvette 'Sawblade' and while a lot of people are still going that route, I've seen plenty of other manufacturers give up their wheels to a variety of different platforms.

Sadly no 'women of Importfest' Theme Tuesday this year (model photos will just be rolled into later coverage) but what I do have today is another collection of awesome photos I've found collected here and there. They really don't have anything in common aside from being awesome, but that's ok.

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.

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.

Canadian readers have probably heard of Illmotion before but for those of you may not have Illmotion is a group of enthusiasts from Calgary who in 2010 decided their scene needed a bit of a kick in the pants. Last Sunday they had their second annual "Sunday School" show and shine at the Max Bell centre in Calgary and like other great events in the Calgary area guest contributing photographer Mike McConnell was there.

Prior the the KJohn Wickedest Slam show I stopped by the True Playaz Candy and Chrome show a few minitues from my house. Last year I showed up way to early which meant a really long day so this year I showed up around 2:30 right in the middle of the action so to speak.

Mike McConnell is an awesome event photographer, like myself he is the kind of guy who will do multiple passes of a show to make sure nothing gets missed and he isn't against revisiting the same car a few times in order capture those fine details. His latest contribution is from theDropsicles Sideshow held in Lethbridge Alberta and while I had never heard of it before these photos have made it a show I am going to keep an eye on. Great variety and quality.

Starting a new show or event is never an easy task. With so many other events taking place in our relativley short season it's nearly impossible to schedule something that is not on the same day as at least one other event. Never mind choosing a venue, enticing vendors, and getting participants and spectators to come out.

Before I get into coverage from the events that took place this past weekend I ought to finish off the coverage from the previous weekend so with that here is the show & shine coverage from the 2012 DMCC Mosport event. Put on by Carlos of SLC Productions the show & shine this year wasn't as big as I remember from 2010 but it did have a decent mix of cars and since it was actually cheaper to enter the show and shine than pay for 2 regular price admissions a lot of people who wouldn't normally show (like myself) entered.
