Toyota

JDM rides member, xxbvanxx, hosts weekly Sunday night meets in the Square One mall parking lot here in Mississauga. This year the kick off meet was promoted about two months in advance and highly anticipated. As Sunday April 25th finally rolled around the weather looked like it could be a problem, but it eventually cleared up long enough for 200-300 cars to gather for about 20 minutes before being told to leave by the local Police department.

As the drift seasons quickly approaches both Ryan and Pat have been working hard to get the final aspects of their builds buttoned up for a track day shake down, it's been at least a few weeks since I've checked up on either of these builds so let's see whats new.

I got home late last night from the Toronto Blue Jays home opener (they lost) & therefore had to hard drive dive for today's Theme Tuesday since I have not had time to finish the e30 touring, or 190e Theme Tuesdays yet. After a few cycles through the photos on my drive I noticed I had quite a few classic Toyota's, enough to fill today's post at least, so here they are some Corollas, Levins, Cressidas, and Supras. Enjoy.

Last week on twitter @TyCity called me out on the fact that I had not posted some old school JDM rides in awhile. Since he was right I decided to check some of my local sources for some old school goodness. I'm not as up on my classic Japanese metal as I am my American but here goes.

Saw this waiting for me after worked and sniped a few pictures with my iphone. I posted this on twitter but I figured I would share it here for those of you who don't follow me yet or are twitter phobic.

Seems like every build I've been following along with you guys has had significant progress over the past month or so.Which makes sense because as the winter season begins to slowly give way to spring everyone begins to scramble to get their cars ready for another exciting summer. Here are updates on Pat Cyr's F20 AE86 Build, The M-tricks widebody 2002 build, the rebuilt track e30 build, and an introduction to Aidan's Lexus IS300 build.

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.

Car modeling is an interesting thing, I never really know how to interact with models at shows since I figure that by the time I show up (usually late) they have already dealt so many assholes that they have written off the entire male population for the day. Often for good reason as we can be pigs when women are dressed in their skivvies. That's why for today's post I decided to pull together a collection of classy, mostly fully clothed, models that would be more approachable than a girl in a bra and some 'got ass?' shorts.

This morning my gf and I realized the fatal flaw of the standard alarm clock, you have to set it. Luckily I've had these photos uploaded since last week when I was going to post them until something else came up. I don't really know a lot about this car other than the fact that its a build from Portugal shot by Gonçalo Reis.

Decided to check in on the two ongoing drift builds today; Pat from Drift Possee's F20 ae86 build and Ryans sr20e30 build from Union Autoclub. Both of these guys have been feverishly spinning wrenches to get these cars slide ready for the upcoming spring season if not sooner.

Just a quick dose of stance on a Sunday morning.
