Makes

I've been to neglecting the Fat and Flush category for months (my bad) but these two s2000s I spotted in an appreciation thread should make up for my shortcomings. These two s2000s are a great example of awesome, aggressive setups that don't have any tire stretch or excessive camber. Function and form balance achieved.

On Sunday afternoon I was lucky enough to have the owner of this car take some time out of his Thanksgiving weekend to shot some photos and video of my car. While he was working hard I was rolling around on my BMX, tweeting, and uploading photos of our cars to facebook. Several of people seemed pretty into Steve's Phantom Purple 3 on freshly refinished BBS RS wheels so here's a better look at the car as it currently sits.

At the last round of CSCS Danny from Street Concepts was wearing a T-shirt that said "Say No To Recession Models" in addition to making me laugh this shirt made me realize it's been awhile since I have done a 'Classy Car Model' Theme Tuesday. As always pulling together this group took quite sometime because the trend for most car models (specifically import) is still to wear as little clothes as possible so everyone can see your high points and your low points.

When I first saw photos of this car I thought perhaps someone had crossed a Chevette with a Pacer and stuffed a big intercooler into the front of it. But after a quick search I learned that it is a 1977 Mazda 323, or Great Little Car as it was apparently called in North America. Before coming across this particular one (which looks to have a boosted spinning Dorito power plant under the hood) I never really had a reason to look into these.

Speedhunters has deemed October street cars and sleepers month so with that in mind I present to you today's WTF Friday find, the Cream Dream. What's the Cream Dream you ask? Well in this context (I'm sure google could find a few other definitions) the Cream Dream is a 1979 Mercury Zephyr powered by an LSX motor fitted with twin T-70 turbos resulting in 8.68 quarter mile times.

Joey from The Chronicles recently tossed up a post called Japanese Treats where he posted a few cars from Japan including this Acura Vigor. In that post he stated that nobody gave a crap about the Vigor in the US and now that I think about it nobody really cared about them in Canada either as I am pretty sure I have not seen one anywhere in a solid 5 years. What's weird is people rocked the hell out of legends (Ludacris loves his) and a lot of people are all about TLs which replaced the Vigor.

It's hard to argue the fact that Nissan knows how to build a capable FR platform, from the original Datsuns to the latest 370z they have certainly made a name for themselves among those who prefer to be pushed rather than pulled. The 300zx is just another example of Nissan's capability to build a solid RWD coupe and the Z32 specifically is a car I wish I saw more of both online and in person so when Darren sent his own 2+2 by my interest was peaked.

So my friend Josh is to thank blame for today's Theme Tuesday. I actually had a different one 90% complete then we got talking about the Fast and The Furious franchise and next thing you know I am spending my lunch hour collecting images of the cars I liked from all of the movies. This list is probably a little different than Josh thought it would turn out because my 'classic American cars are awesome' bias is clearly showing for a good portion of this post.

Tucson native Will Watrous has once again graced Stance Is Everything with an awesome set of photos from the West Coast Nationals. It's been a little bit since I had heard from Will so it was good to see that he's still riding low and hitting up events in his Ranger. The WCN coverage he sent over this year looks just as good, if not better than last year, so if I ever do somehow get a travel budget WCN is an event I must attend.

The rain kind of put a kibosh on some of the plans I had today so I've been re organizing and backing up photos I have taken as well as ones I have found online and figured it would be a good time to do another round of Random Dopeness. Speedline FilmWerks also sent over their latest video in the Wuste 2011 series which is just as good as their last effort which the sent by last week. Be sure to check both out at the end of this post.

I'm not even sure what to say about this car, it's not shiny, it's not pretty, and it's not even all that low but it is straight up crazy which is why I am posting it today. The creation below appears to be a barn find Ford sedan merged with the motor (Cummins turbo Diesel), transmission, wheels, brakes, and suspension of a much larger vehicle. I wish I could provide more information on this four wheeled terror but I've got nothing.

You know those cars you see unfinished that make you think 'damn that should look proper when it's done'? Then once they are finished all you have to go on are cellphone photos and word of mouth stating: 'man you really have to see it in person'. Well this is one of those cars, and while I have still yet to see it in person from what I have heard and the fact it's a CHOPSHOP car I know I won't be disappointed when I do.
