Makes

Keven and I headed out to the meeting spot for 2010 Maxbimmer midnight cruise on Friday night and while we didn't go on the cruise itself from what I read it went off without incident which is great because a whirly bird was floating above the meeting spot at about 11:30. There is always a great variety of cars at this spot (as it's a meeting spot for other clubs as well) so here are some of the photos I took while Keven got a chance to catch up with some old faces.

As much as I love slammed Miatas today's collection of Mazda roadsters caught my eye because judging by the way these cars are set up it's safe to assume that they do a lot more than hard parking and actually take these cars out to the track. If your building a car to tear up your local track and the ride height you need for that leaves you with some fender gap that's alright by me. Just go fast to make up for it, real fast.

Growing up one common rule among children is that they all have at least one toy car, next time you're around kids take a look around and you'll see at least one happy youngster taking their favorite toy car through its paces in their own little imaginary track. Those of us who grow to become car enthusiasts trade in our toy cars for one we can drive and our imaginary track becomes real world terrain. Sam, the owner of today’s featured ride, is an enthusiast who is no longer doing laps in his mind, these days Sam cruises the streets in his low, flush, 350z fittingly plated ‘JDM Toy’.

Last time I did a 'classy model' Theme Tuesday it went over a lot better than I thought it would. Really I shouldn't have been surprised. Guys like cars, and guys like girls it's natural. But girls also like cars, but they often do not like car show models. What girls do like (generally and in addition to cars) are clothes and style, thus classy car models give the female readers something to enjoy as well. This way everyone wins! Except me, the screening process for this is hell on my eyes 😛

I'm sure we have all seen something like this before, someone takes a car with rear end damage and instead of getting it repaired traditionally (or just scraping the thing) the make some sort of El Camino bastard child. I can't really imagine how you go about getting these things insured since they would probably crumple like a ball of paper in an accident, and I doubt 2 of the 3 posted today go down the street straight, but hey its DIY?

I saw this beast of an M3 on bikeguide.org first and it really took me by surprise since normally I don't really feel much either way about this model m3. I was only further impressed by this car when I found the build on build-threads.com. Any company looking to do a big budget build should take inspiration from IND because this is how it's done right. None of that gaudy over the top chock full of decal nonsense, keep it clean.

I am a bad friend, I've been meaning to post contributing photographer, aspiring comedian, and good friend Keven Soldo's car for sale for awhile now and kept forgetting. He is selling his clean imported Saab 9-2x and if you don't know what this car is, it's basically a Subaru in Saab skin. Check the bottom of this post to see what it could look like with a drop and some wheels.

Contributing photographer/e30 addict, Sam H made it out to another Maxbimmer e30 meet last Saturday after attending a BMW-Trillium auto cross. As always his coverage is great and his rolling shots are off the hook. While not everyone had their e30s out at this meet (they take a little longer to get out of hibernation than newer cars) there was still a great bunch of cars out. I hope to make it to the fall meet and hang out with some of the familiar e30/bmw fam.

Another follow up to the 'Pictures with attitude' Theme Tuesday series, these sometimes take a little longer than other themes to come together but they always go over quite well. I'm also about half way through another Classy car model Theme Tuesday as well so fingers crossed I can have that for you guys next week.

The local JDMrides crowd is no doubt well aware of the type of cars Worked 905 produces, and the amazing pictures that Kevin Saunders shoots, but for those of you from out of town you are in for a treat. Today's combination of amazing cars & photography is simply stunning. All of these pictures were taken walking distance from my house and I have seen all of these cars out and about in my local hood as well.

It's been awhile since I dropped some Random Dopeness, and I have had this set ready for quite some time so it's time, so it's time to throw one up. Enjoy.
