Makes

I'm not sure if everyone's up on internet memes but one that has been kicking around for a few years now is "Dat Ass". This one started with a picture of rapper Rich Boy biting his lower lip, looking at the picture it's easy to imagine he just saw a girl with a nice Gluteus maximus bit his bottom lip and made that 'ssss' noise right before saying look at 'dat ass'. Its really the best thing Rich Boy ever contributed to the internet and the segue I am using to post some cars with nice rear ends.

One downside to the automotive hobby is that it is generally one big sausage fest and when an adventurous woman does try to break into the scene she is either not taken seriously, hit on relentlessly, or both. Some women however are dedicated enough to persevere past the nonsense and carry on. Stephanie, the owner of this feature ride, rolls her Black 335i with vanity plates the read Blak WIDW (Black Widow) and like a black widow spider she isn't to take lightly.

I've tried to keep a pretty neutral stance on cars I don't personally like since I know this hobby is pretty diverse and a form of expression. However if there is one type of car I think we can all unanimously agree is silly it has to be Donks (and Boxes and Bubbles). These cars just don't make any sense anyway you look at it, they are impractical, slow to accelerate and brake, unsafe, and just plain look bad. Normally Donks are American cars but unfortunately it seems like this trend is seeping it's want into the JDM crowd....

Sometimes in life you just have to work with what you've got and other times you have to improvise and this is true of the car hobby. Not all of us have a say in what we currently drive and some of us willingly choose to drive something a little left of the norm. Regardless resourceful automotive folk are, well, resourceful automotive folk and while some are quick to pass over whatever is currently sitting in their driveway, shop, or yard others are willing to work with what they have got. Today's cars are examples of just that.

Yesterday I read that Honda/Acura has finally put the NSX out to pasture in Japan's SuperGT racing series after almost 20 years of track duty, I also learned that the NSX began production in 1990 and ran to 2005. Being so rare around these parts I had no idea that they were produced so long. These cars fetch a pretty penny still so for someone to take one out to the track and drift yet on a regular basis takes a special kind of crazy. Thankfully these special people are easier to find thanks to this monster we call the internet.

Not, not the armed reserves, my reserve of photos that I have saved from here and there for days when I don't have quite enough time to pop off something 100% local or 100% original. This weekend basically went a little pear shaped after my car failed it's E-test and since my license expires tomorrow it has spilled over into a problem I need to deal with today, however, that's no reason to leave my readers hanging.

This is really weird to me and I shared it via twitter a few days ago. I never saw this car before I got my new wheels but then I came across it a few days ago on bike guide. I don't know if we are running the exact same wheels but it looks like we have the same drop, exhaust, and lip.

After getting a little love from HellaFlush quite a few new people started following me on twitter, real people, not just those weird half naked fake accounts that tell you about teeth whitening. One of the accounts that stood out was British Columbia photographer Bryce Casselmans. The pic of him ripping some back roads in his Miata looked sort of interesting and seeing that he and I share a lot of the same interests (cars, toys, 'extreme sports' photography) and I so I decided to follow his tweets. He has been doing some interesting things with model cars lately and I thought it was worth sharing what can be done with a few bucks, some camera equipment, and a little creativity.

Even though I don't drive an e30 anymore I still have my ear to the ground when it comes to what's going on in the community, so I watched this years thread about the Autumn e30 meet on max and figured it would be worth making an appearance. The turnout was awesome and I am really glad I made it out, it was a good excuse to kill an afternoon, reminisce, and do some 'spirited' driving.

Yesterday I went to cover a local e30 meet and as usual Jay (Mystkial) and I chatted about e30s that have come and gone from the GTA scene over the years. While there has been an astonishing number of e30s that just up and disappeared the most famous of all the disappearing acts would have to be Randys Super charged S52, Reiger Kitted, Honda Blue, 325. This car set had a huge impact on the e30 scene at the time so lets go back and take a look at why.
