Random Dope

I feel bad for people that can't appreciate a wide variety of vehicles because I couldn't imagine ever calling myself a car enthusiast and not liking something as magnificent as this Nova. The only thing I find harder to imagine is building a car like this then going on to sell it.

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.

Spotted this on JDM Ego, a blog I have been reading for awhile now thanks to it's combination of nice cars and occasional bmx content (run one of there plate covers too), and found it completely share worthy. The owner of this car clearly knows what it takes to build a super clean looking, functional car. I'm not an Evo buff but I know what I like and I like what I see.

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.

Springs in the air here in Canada, sort of. Actually the amount of spring in the air actually really depends on your definition of spring, the given day, and your current location. Also yesterday there was a lot of stuff in the air but it wasn't really spring... but for the most part (unless its snowing) its spring that's in the air. With spring comes spinning wrenches, cutting metal, sprayed paint, and stretched rubber. I've been following a bunch of great looking builds based right here in the land of red and white and here are a few of them, all drift builds coincidentally.

Looks like silver Evos are rolling out pretty serious onto the streets of the GTA as this is the second one local one I've seen that packs heat on the inside and looks great on the outside. This particular one is putting down 431whp and 369 foot pounds of torque to the wheels. In these photos those wheels happen to be 18x10 Works wrapped in 225/40 tires however with that type of power it stands to reason that the owner has another set of wheels that could probably put this car into the fat and flush category.

Keeping the whole kit car thing going I've got another local kit car build that's sure to raise a few eyebrows and turn a few heads. Local Subaru nut, Batman fanatic, and all around nice guy Tim Neil is seeing through a life long dream of his and building a Bat Mobile. Not the Barris one most people think of either, he is building the one from the very dark (and very good) original Tim Burton Batman flick.

Why are there so many red e30s? I mean this in two ways, first here in Toronto a few years ago red e30s vastly outnumbered e30s of any other color at meets and events, and second not only are there a lot of them number wise but they also come in several different shades of red just to make things a little more confusing. Zinnoberrot, Karminrot, and Briliantrot are a few and I am sure I probably missed seven or so.

I've already shared a few of my favorite Mazda Speed3s here with you, SumThaiGuys white one on SSR Long Champs and the Fat and Flush black one on 17x9 RPF-1s, are two recent examples and I'm about to throw this one from Black Mamba Motor Sports into the mix because it's another speed3 I think looks really, really good. This car is a great example of what can be accomplished with a realistic budget, a healthy drop, and a little originality when choosing a paint color for your wheels.

It's pretty amazing that even though e30 m3 has not been produced for years, which is causing the buy in for one to steadily increase, that there are still a bumper crop of clean ones being built today. Many of which I have never seen on the internet before. This m3 is setup almost dead in the middle of function and form and no one other than Johnny Cash has walked the line better.

Yep, I'm back on that Land Yacht vibe again and while I am not really familiar with Cor Forged Wheels if the majority of their clientele does their rides up like this than it's a brand I need to pay more attention to. This bagged 65 Buick Riviera looks absolutely killer laid out and I only hope drive height is really close to park height because you know, drive low, park lower.

I Found this Subaru on bikeguide, a bmx message board, with no link or info. Google searching Eric Tong, and Joe Dantone lead me their respective facebook pages where I noted that these photos were taken in October of 2010. While that doesn't make this photo set new by any means, there is simply no way I couldn't post photos of this car. The exterior is clean, the stance is on point and the photographers captured the car beautifully.
