Makes

I Found this Subaru on bikeguide, a bmx message board, with no link or info. Google searching Eric Tong, and Joe Dantone lead me their respective facebook pages where I noted that these photos were taken in October of 2010. While that doesn't make this photo set new by any means, there is simply no way I couldn't post photos of this car. The exterior is clean, the stance is on point and the photographers captured the car beautifully.

Last week I played things pretty safe with the Vintage JDM Theme Tuesday This week I've decided to not go as safe and finally post up a Theme Tuesday I've been working on for awhile: Slammed Big Rigs. Sure slamming a big rig is kind of a silly thing to do but I wouldn't complain if I saw these on the road hauling McDonalds patties.

Hat's off too anyone who's rocking a white on white setup well, the constant up keep that is required combined with the fact that there are so many different shades of white to contend with makes it much harder to 'white out' a car then black one out. Those are the excuses I use for not doing it anyway. Never the less when properly executed the look is hard look to beat.

My mindset is still somewhat performance driving oriented this morning after spending the day out on the track yesterday for the first time (more on that later this week) so I figured I would roll with it and post some photos from March 6th - 1st Solo Championship in El Paso Texas submitted by reader Aaron R. Jackson. What he sent through is just a small sampling of the cars that came out but nonetheless it shows that the auto cross community in Texas is not only thriving but also encompasses a variety of different cars.

I found a thread last night so full of WTF Friday content that I couldn't help but share a few of them on twitter last night. I couldn't believe the 'quality' of some of the cars lying within. The amount of work people without lots of taste are capable of astounds me. The thread in question has been bookmarked for later use because it's seriously packed with gems like today's car which started as... um, something and was turned into something with a fish tank in the boot.

Not sure how or where I came across this car, and I have not seen it anywhere since. Even typing a few search terms into Google didn't really return anything relevant (to this car at least). To make things more bleak I renamed the photos as I saved them so who knows what they were originally called. If I only had one photo saved I would have sworn it was a photo shop, but since there are three...

A few years ago I saw a Volkswagen Mark II with a sticker on it that read "CCM - Clean Car Revolution" and while I'm fairly certain that at this point the owner of that car, and whoever coined that phrase, has moved on the revolution continues to live through cars like Jon's 2004 350z. Clean might be a word I use far too often on this site but it's the perfect word to describe Jon's car because it looks simply amazing without the need for a wild body kit, loud paint, or camber that's practically horizontal.

Last week the weather got fairly mild with a few double digit days and since this happened right at the end of winter (according to the calendar) people got excited. However this always happens late March and as soon as you have your car back to summer mode it snows the following week just as reminder that it's not over till it's over. So I did nothing, mid to late April for me, never before!

A few weeks ago, before Japan was devastated by intense tsunami's and earthquakes, my friend Aidan put forth the suggestion that I do a post on vintage JDM rides and even sent in a few pics to get me started. Japan's had a lot of influence the way we tune our cars here in North America and are thus held in pretty high regard. What's happened there currently is terrible but I have no doubt in my mind that years down the road, once it's all cleaned up Japan will emerge stronger than ever.

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to build a proper mini truck so throughout high school I spent countless hours thumbing through the latest issues of Mini Truckin' and Sport Truck magazines. Chances are pretty good that at some point in my search for slammed truck inspiration I was looking at photos taken by today's very talented and several times published featured photographer, Johnny O.

Since last weeks WTF Friday was a little wordy (that guy is blaming tweet-deck ) and I'm going to assume you have all seen the Lamborghini destruction already I've decided for today I am just going to post two hilarious jeeps and one hilarious Hummer. Well, at least I think they are pretty hilarious, though I've had a long week...

Here is the rest of the Performance World coverage I was hoping to have up yesterday before the day spiraled wildly out of control. There are enough pictures in this post to warrant two but I decided to just get them all up at once instead of having you guys wait even longer. The mini trucks and classics make up most of today's post with a few random images dropped in. If you thought Performance World this year was lacking that just means you didn't spend enough time in the vast section of classics.
