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.

Being a member of s10forum I am not really sure how I missed this build where an s10 owner put an rb20det in an s10 but I did. I had no idea this even happened until I saw a video clip on my friend Jesse's new blog Dorimoto and my interest was peaked.

I Saw these photos on the Stance Works forums and I was awe struck. We have some pot holes here that are worth avoiding but it seems like Bulgaria has craters which the refer to as pot holes. These are not rota's getting mangled either authentic BBS wheels just getting disrespected something fierce. It's enough to make a wheel whore cry.

With certain cars sometimes to make a heard turner all you need to do is drop them to the ground, the cars which usually respond best to the 'just slam' treatment are ones that are normally not in the hands of people who would put them on the ground. Visually this Benz has no other modifications than a healthy drop, and if it never received anything else it would still look great.

I hardly ever post on Saturday, more so this early on a Saturday, but an s2k dumped on one of my favorite rims with meaty white letter Falkens and minimal stretch? I like this, I like this a lot. Props to the owner and the photographer as both the car and photography are well put together.

Today's WTF Friday is a sad tale of a car that was ridden very hard, stripped and put away soaking wet. This e30 (non M thankfully) used to be an S38 powered full out track car which reportedly had it's fair share of tough times on the track and now sits in the forest as a home for all sorts of vermin.

Nissan is coming out with another interesting suv type vehicle, The Juke, and just like last years Cube this car sure looks unique. With the cube it was pretty easy to see that Nissan was trying to scrape some off the top of the Scion 'box' market but with the Juke I am not 100% sure on where they are thinking of going.

A couple weeks ago, in the "Rolling Shots Part 2" Theme Tuesday I made mention of the fact I was working on an all rig shot themed post. After searching a few forums I have come up with the following collection of photos. You will probably notice that many share the same watermark and that's because those who take rig shots well take them often.

Owning an 04 means that my car is now a senior Mazda 3, previously wasn't really too noticeable as the differences from 04-08 are fairly subtle, however now that the 2010's are out and running around this means that my car is officially old news. Looking at the 2010s though it's hard to be bummed about owning a geezer car because not only am I used to it but the younger happier sibling to my car takes very well to modifications as the following Toronto Mazda 3 members have shown.

I found this crazy contraption in one of my new favorite threads on VW Vortex, the Insane or Unique motor swap thread. Personally I love when cars are transformed into motors on wheels using power plants that were never meant to power something as small and humble as an automobile. The internet legend would have it that this 1970 or so Opel GT got hit by a train and instead of ending up in the junk yard for the rest of it's days an unknown Ohio inventor got a hold of it and put an early P-51 Allison v-12 in the back of it.
