Makes

As a child of the 80s (84) and a product of syndicated Television I spent a lot of my youth watching cartoons such as Transformers, M.A.S.K, GI Joe, Thundercats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-man. All of these shows involved a some sort of crazy vehicle that made an awesome toy but not an awesome 1:1 vehicle. Thank god for people with money, skills, and determination because two of these vehicles regardless of their practicality have come to life.

I came across this DC Integra when looking for cars with BMX bikes on the roof for this weeks Theme Tuesday. I know nothing about this car and can't remember which forum I saw it on so for all I know these photos could be very old. Regardless I liked the car and the photography so up it goes.

After I got in last night, from shoveling snow at my fathers place, I decided to torture myself and look at coverage from Hella Flush 3.5. I quickly found my self among the Wrong Fitment Crew crowd. After seeing a while 3 that caught my eye I ended up on SocalMazda.Net, a site dedicated to Mazda's in Southern California.

I am sure that I am not alone in noticing that roof racks have become a growing trend in VW, BMW, and Honda tuning scenes. While I am not sure how it started but it doesn't have any indication of going away. Since there are already lot of roof rack appreciation threads on the internet I figured to get a little creative with today's Theme Tuesday and only focus on cars with roof racks that have BMX bikes on them.

This Saturday I went to the Toronto International Auto show, which I used to go to all the time with my dad as a young buck but this is only my second year going as an 'adult'. Going the Saturday before the show closed was perhaps a mistake as the show got busier as the day went on making it harder and harder to take photos.

God bless the internet it's provided such things this week as Epic Beard Man, rumors of a Snookie sex tape (ugh), Gordon Lightfoot's death and today's collection of strange car related images. Bless you internet for without you I would be jobless.

For those of you living outside of Canada let me give you a quick break down on our car importation laws... they suck, and when I say they suck I mean they are strange. To tell you the truth I am not 100% on them, all I know is that going by our odd rules this R33 might be the first on our streets.

Remember that dished out m-tech e30 that Sam and myself took pictures of at the 2009 maxbimmer.com autumn e30 meet? You know it was silver, dumped, m30 powered and also got posted on hella flush? Of course you remember it how could you forget? Well it's been sold.

Wow with the holiday on Monday I forgot today was Wednesday when I woke up this morning. It wasn't until I was driving to work in the snow that it clicked and I realized I needed to do a Winter Wednesday post for this week.

Here in Toronto our winters are long and boring, and while awd guys have fun amusing themselves in the snow, the rest of us drive around in our salt covered cars hating life. For the past two winters JDMrides.ca has stepped in with a valve cover build off contest to help kill of some of the winter blahs.

VW Harlequins are pretty interesting little cars. Like most people the first time I saw one I thought it was some sort of joke and was pretty surprised to learn that they were actually a limited run of Golfs by VW. I don't think any other car company would have had the guts to produce a car that looks like this, and I don't think any fanatics other than VW guys could make them look good.

I got in late last night from a weekend long snowboarding trip I am a little tired and disoriented but thankfully today is a holiday. I am going to use today to catch up on some things Stance Is Everything related after I do some cleaning up here around the house. Until I get some time to write a little bit more here is two quick shots of a Mazda MX-5 dumped on some Equips.
