Makes

Reading all of the Long Beach Formula Drift coverage really makes me wish I flew into LAX and went from LA to SF instead of the other way around, but I had free board for a few nights in SF so... Instead of drowning my sorrows in a local San Francisco Morrow Bay pub I pulled together some drifting gifs to make myself feel better.

The last time I was in Pennsylvania I saw a car so poorly modifed that I nearly wrote off the entire state when it came to cars. I know that sounds extreme but that car was quite bad. On the complete opposite side of the coin Eric's Rabbit is quite good and in my eyes does an excellent job of redeeming, and representing for, the entire state.

As a former BMW owner I've hung around BMW message boards for quite some time and seen many a BMW re-imagined as a straight line terror. I've seen 2002 gassers, Isetta Monsters, and plenty of snail fed slick tire equipped e30s, but this e21 I spotted on The Amazo Effect just so happens to be an American milled BMW I've never seen before.

While pulling together yesterdays post I came across this Supra that I felt was deserving of a post all it's own. It's a single turbo MKIV from Scotland that is currently sitting on BC Racing coils and rolling on 18x9.5 and 18x11 Work Meisters.

On Sunday I saw something that made me think I should do another 'Dat Ass' Theme Tuesday post and, foolishly, I didn't save it in the hopes I would remember it when the time came to put the post together. No such luck.

When I met Neil for the first time at the local skatepark here in Mississauga he had just sold his supercharged e36 and picked up this black MKV. My memory isn't quite what it used to be but I seem to recall him saying something about not getting too crazy with this car and only wanting to change a couple things here and there to make it more enjoyable to drive when he is back home between semesters of school in England.

On the silver screen DeLoreans (Doc Brown's anyway) are a mechanical marvel worth turning into a time machine powered by stolen plutonium. In reality by the time they finished jumping through all the hoops required to go from idea to production vehicle they ended up as stainless steel disappointments.

There isn't anything wrong with a simple clean e36, and this is a simple clean e36 I've been meaning to share for awhile. Posted online in January I've found myself looking at these pictures time and time again (thanks to never closing the tab) and admiring the owners taste in modifications.

As I'm sure many of you know I put off the Turbo Dodge Theme Tuesday for as long as possible because it was hard to pull together and I wasn't sure the juice was worth the squeeze. However had I known that posting a few snail equipped Mopars would lead to my first introduction to this Stingray I would have done it a hell of a lot sooner.

There is a particularly humorous episode of Futurama that involves the Planet Express crew going under water to a city much like Atlantis. Hilarity of course ensues and a after series of particularly ridiculous events concludes with Bender picking up a lit cigar (under water remember) Hermes exclaims "and that just raises further questions!" Hermes' repeated confused reaction and desire to grasp what is going on in that scene is exactly how I felt when I first saw this Geo Metro(?) turned into whatever it is now.

I'm pretty sure not everyone is going to like this car and that's alright because I am almost absolutely positive the owner doesn't care, and I just like to see just what kind of cars I can get away with posting before one of you has me committed (or at the very least disconnects my internet). According to -273 before this car became what it is today it started as some kind of 50s Ford.

For long time readers today's car may look a little familiar and that's because it was first posted in July of 2010 alongside an equally stunning white 328i. At that time Bryan had just saved the car from an early death at the hands of a neglectful previous owner and done a little bit of work to it.
