As the 2010 GTA event season comes to a close you are going to start seeing a lot of cars that have been on my hard drive for the past few months, today I've got a super clean Nissan 180sx. It's pretty rare to see one this clean since a great number of them end up in the hands of drifters, and while it's never bad to see a car used and abused on the track, it's also nice to see one that the owner has kept spit shined.

On Sunday October 3rd in odd, but appropriate, weather the GTA car community said Sayonara to Summer with an event put on by the good people at Stretch and Poke. When I showed up (late) some of cars had come and gone but from the coverage I have seen on the Scraped Crusaders and courtesy of Gawa on JDMR the event was a great success.

I was over on Supermade last night looking at all the nice Volkswagens he posts when it hit my like a brick that I had yet do do a Theme Tuesday dedicated solely to the MKII Golf. I can't believe it's taken me this long, these cars a staple of the low lifestyle and are always at shows and meets.

Even though this show was just last weekend with the way the weather has changed (and the amount of time it's taken me to post all of the parts) it seems like so long ago. Most of the cars in today's coverage are probably stored away by now or will soon be in winter mode so here is a look at one of the last show and shines of the season.

These front swaps are getting a little out of hand. Sure many (like today's) are executed fairly competently, meaning that the body work doesn't look like ass, but the final results never do the shop that did the work any sort of justice. 1994 Mustang, meet your 2008 face, sorry you didn't get a v8 in the process.

I decided to take a quick break from the CSCS coverage for a moment and live vicariously through Tucson AZ native Will (@solefoodOG), who you might remember as the owner a very low bug from the friendly rivalry post in 2009. Will recently picked up a bagged Ranger and took it and his camera to the 2010 West Cost Nationals, and being the nice guy that he is sent me the link to his flickr so I could run some of his photos.

As I've mentioned the 2010 CSCS Finale was the first time I had been to Cayuga and the weather had fully cooperated which meant that the track saw a lot of fast action all day. Personally the track action is the main reason I make the drive out to CSCS as it's an added bonus on top of the show and shine that I can't take in at your average show.

Yesterday I mentioned that the 2010 CSCS finale had an absolutely stellar turnout, the best of any CSCS I had attended personally. There were cars everywhere, on the track, in the pits, and all over the visitor parking, it seemed like everyone and there mom was out at Cayuga. Today I have 30 plus photos of what I saw off the track and away from the show and shine, few unique/rarity's here.

Originally this Theme Tuesday was just going to be low cars having trouble getting over steep grades which lead to a wheel being hung in the air. However after looking at (and taking) photos of cars getting up on three wheels while cornering I decided to combine both ways of three wheeling into this Theme Tuesday.

The CSCS finale was yesterday and it hands down the best CSCS I've been to so far, the lack of rain in the forecast combined with it being the last event of the year drew lots of people out to Cayuga. While I didn't have a chance to really get into editing the near card full of photos I took when I got home I did make a point to edit these photos, because not only was this car unique but it was also quite swift on the track.
