Makes

I'll be honest with you guys, when I started this Theme Tuesday I didn't really think it would come together as well as it did as it is pretty random. However Google never lets me down and it turns out people have been putting World War II type graphics on cars of all sorts for some time. Add to that the popularity of Rusty and the movie cars and cartoon mouths and you have today's collection of photos.

Mike and Jay at Stance Factory have been pretty busy the last month or so cranking out a wide assortment of Bavarian automobiles at different ride heights. If your from the GTA and drive a BMW these guys should be on your shortlists of shops to check out for maintenance and aftermarket needs. They can help you pick out the right suspension, wheel, and tire setup necessary to get your stance exactly how you want it.

I think if there were any car to throw in the 'well how about that files' it's this one. Chrysler Crossfires are one car that I have never really paid much attention to, not a huge fan of how they look to be honest and I don't really see any on the road or at events. They are just kind of 'there'. But this one is a little different as it's got a Mercedes AMG 5.5L V8 supercharged motor under the hood putting down 443 HP and 481 lb/ft torque at the wheels.

Red paint and white letters, I am a big fan of this look right now as probably gathered from last weeks Corrado. RWB cars are always visually incredible, and it's no secret they have the matte colored car game on lock but this one proves that the same aesthetic can look great with a little gloss. Pretty sure a periwinkle RAUH-Welt car would still look great...

This is probably the cleanest 240sx I have posted in a long, long time. While I've got nothing against cars that get used on the track and wear their battle scars with pride its also always nice to see a car that's super clean with no panel damage or zip ties keeping the body pieces on. This one was shot my Emilio at TWOLITREmedia and as soon as I saw the set I asked permission to re-post them because I love both the photos and the car.

A couple days ago when moving my dad out of his place I found a picture of myself in front of his once prized Volvo, then later in the week when my visiting mom I noticed my her neighbor recently picked up a a C30 which we chatted about for awhile. Those two run ins meant I had Volvos on the brain so I figured why not keep that going a little bit more with these I had sitting on my hard drive from the last time I did a Volvo Theme Tuesday.

It's a good thing I am not really a gambling man (I don't consider lucking out at slots to be gambling) because if I walked into a casino and said 'put it all on purple' people would realize very quick I have no idea what I am doing. However if I had some money to throw behind Canadian drift teams one of them would be Drift Union. Awesome guys with great cars and even better attitudes. Check out the 2011 lineup.

I've got to say I am pretty surprised that no one saw anything too crazy at the Fast Five Premieres in their respective areas. Perhaps it's a sign of car modification trending towards cleaner, simpler, mods, or maybe it's just a sign that I should have put a better prize up for submitting photos 😛 Anyway no big deal, the show must go on so I have some perplexing cars from the same thread I got this gem of a car from.

Chances are that unless you bought your wheels new they have a bit of a back story behind them. With the amount of wheel whoring going on in the scene it is not uncommon for wheels to pass through many sets of hands before and after their current owner. Most times we never really get to know what happens to our wheels after we sell them or where they were before we got them.

I feel bad for people that can't appreciate a wide variety of vehicles because I couldn't imagine ever calling myself a car enthusiast and not liking something as magnificent as this Nova. The only thing I find harder to imagine is building a car like this then going on to sell it.

A few months ago in the dead of winter I got to participate in a Sweetie Girl Racing Advance Driver Training event at Toronto Motorsports Park - Cayuga. The event gave me the opportunity to knock driving on a road course off my bucket list. In addition to popping my track virginity the course also served as a way for me to learn a few valuable tips for daily driving as its main focus is to make everyone involved a better overall driver, and not turn everyone into race car drivers.

Pinup style models, (and Rockabilly - esque) women are something I never really see at shows around here, even the classic ones I go to. Whenever I see photos of them online I'm a fan for two reasons the first is because it's something different than your typical yoga pants and bikini top fare, and the second is that wherever a pin up style model is a bad ass classics is never too far behind.
