If you Google 'Dat Ass Car, Dat Ass Stance, Stance Dat Ass' and so forth the first result you get is my last Theme Tuesday. While that's pretty awesome it made finding cars for the follow up a little harder than usual as I just kept ending up back here. But whats life without it's challenges right? A little changes in what I searched for and I was able to put together Dat Ass Part 2. Enjoy.

Wasn't really sure what to run this week and I didn't have a whole lot of uniformity to the the cars living on my hard drive so I decided to go with a solution that normally always works: BBS wheels and a healthy drop. Classic BBS mesh wheels will never be played out in my eyes nor will LMs. However I did try and toss a few other BBS designs in there to mix things up a bit.

Before Stretch and Poke I swung by the Krown Lake Shore Charity Show & Shine put on by a friend of mine and fellow Toronto Mazda 3 member. The show was family run and family focused so it had a real positive vibe to it, and it's always great to see automotive enthusiasts getting behind Sick Kids Hospital as they do incredible things (I am living proof).

Yesterday was the first Stretch and Poke! meet of the year and even though leading up to the event the weather forecast looked terrible (to put it nicely) somehow the thunderstorms held out all day and the weather was fantastic which lead to around 150 cars coming out. The meet was my first chance to see a lot of local cars and familiar faces from last year and lots of people have stepped it up for 2011 so I am really looking forward to the rest of the year. Here are some of the Euros from S&P 2010 meet number 1.

I'll be honest with you guys, when I started this Theme Tuesday I didn't really think it would come together as well as it did as it is pretty random. However Google never lets me down and it turns out people have been putting World War II type graphics on cars of all sorts for some time. Add to that the popularity of Rusty and the movie cars and cartoon mouths and you have today's collection of photos.

Pinup style models, (and Rockabilly - esque) women are something I never really see at shows around here, even the classic ones I go to. Whenever I see photos of them online I'm a fan for two reasons the first is because it's something different than your typical yoga pants and bikini top fare, and the second is that wherever a pin up style model is a bad ass classics is never too far behind.

I saw this on Supermade (one of my favorite dub blogs) a few weeks ago and my jaw dropped. I've always loved Corrados and Supermade seems to consistently post some of the best looking ones I have ever seen. This car is simple and sweet. Clean, low, and flush, deadly combination.

This one's all teamwork. Nash suggested it on facebook, I started working on it, and Ollie came through huge with the final touches. Steel wheels work on a variety of vehicles, are cheap, and fairly strong. I hear they are a bit on the heavy side however. The cheap, light, strong triangle strikes again.

I almost completely forgot I mentioned on Friday I was going to post today. At some point between doing my taxes, and cleaning the house, I remembered. I suppose I needed a distraction from those two mundane tasks. Here are a couple of my random favorites.

Because it's been winter here in the GTA most of the recent features have showcased cars from sunnier climates, however as our seasons gets closer and events are being announced left right and center it's time I turned the spotlight back towards local rides. This Golf is a perfect example of the level in which a lot of the local VW enthusiasts operate and when it arrived in my inbox I was immediately impressed with what I saw.

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.

After reading other sites with weather envy all winter it felt pretty good to head out to a local event and get some photos this weekend. A lot of people have said that PW wasn't as good this year in regards to turn out but I think for a show at the end of winter the turnout was pretty good. It takes a lot of dedication to get your car all cleaned up for three days and then drive it back out in the muck right after. This year I've decided to switch things up a bit by posting the more modern Imports, Euros, and American cars first leaving the rat rods, traditional rods, and muscle cars to later.
