Random Dope

Today is a holiday (Thanksgiving) here in Canada so I figured I should make the best of it and double up on the posts, and since I already posted one bagged BMW today why not another? I spotted this bagged e30 touring on a forum a couple of months ago and was recently stumbled upon it again and remembered how much I liked it. Bagged e30s are still pretty uncommon so do see someone do this to a touring, and keep it clean, is a real treat.

I told myself I wasn't going to write about the latest version of this car. Not because I don't like it, but because Speedhunters did it, Fatlace did it, and even Jalopnik did it. This post has sat as a draft for about two weeks while I tried to decide if my input was at all necessary. After reading a comment calling this car 'nothing more than a POS' in a thread titled 'How much time did this guy waste' I found myself coming back because while a lot of people love the car, a vast number of people hate it and while everyone is entitled to their own opinion many are missing the point.

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.
