Random Dope

I remember the first time I was on a message board and saw someone speak highly of a Ford Escort, I thought they were crazy, until they posted a picture. It was then I realized that for whatever reason the North American market really got the shaft when it came to Escorts. We could have got something cool.

It's been awhile since I have posted Honda Fit's, a long while, and I know I have not posted many fits of this generation. These cars take a certain type of finesse to pull of properly because of their compact but high profile silhouette, when done clean and simple they don't look bad, and real Volks never hurt anything.

Anyone know where I can find more pictures of this VW? Looks damn good from what I can see.

After last weeks Theme Tuesday on muscle cars I was in the mood to check some out in person once again so I made my way out to the local Street Classics cruise in on Saturday Night. Unfortunately soon after I arrived it started to rail lightly which put a quick end to things, but, I was able to fire off some shots and get something for WTF Friday. I also meet a real down to earth s-10 owner in the process, good times.

I found this build on JDM rides and 'Epic Save' were the first two words to come to my mind. This car started out as one of the worst looking Civics I have ever seen but the owner snatched the car from the moronic hands of the previous owner, put in some elbow grease and turned it into a nice, clean, de riced ride.

I really can't remember where or when I came across this car, maybe on one of the several message boards and blog I check out daily. Regardless of where I found it, it obviously had a good reason to be there as it's pretty damn appealing. The raked stance, wide track, copious amounts of tire, flares, and lack of non essentially accessories leads me to believe that this Mini functions just as well as it looks.

I had a few other things in mind to post today and those will have to wait until next week because as soon as I saw this video I busted up laughing. This is what happens when a few guys and one girl try and load a Civic EG on the back of a U-haul using dodgy ass ramps.

Remember the J-32 powered, Worked 905, Honda Civic I posted in the 'Unique Local Motor Swaps' Theme Tuesday? The same one I saw at Honda-Tech 6 and Vagkraft last year and the same one that was featured on The Chronicles and in the pages of Honda Tuning? If none of this rings a bell click here for quick reminder.

Making one car look like another is fairly hard (unless you start with a Fiero) so I am not sure why companies keep presumably mass marketing kits to do so, furthermore I'm really perplexed as to why the figured to manufacture these kits for 4th Gen Camaros. Perhaps because this gen of Camaro was kinda meh? Regardless I don't think any deserve to end up a little confused like this one.

CCW is one of a few custom wheel manufacturers who have really been making an impact on the internet lately and it's no surprise since they make gorgeous looking wheels to essentially. Their classics and LM20 models are their most popular it would see but I have yet to see a set of wheels from them I didn't like. After seeing two set's on the weekend at Tuners Against Street Racing I figured an appropriately themed Tuesday was in order.

I've got a serious amount of photos from Tuners Against Street Racing to sort through and I knew I wasn't going to have them edited and posted before I left for work today so for this Monday morning I thought I would share what a local, female, BBS/Euro/Slam lover has been doing with her set of custom 17X9 et 20 and 17X10.5 et 28 pink BBS RS wheels. The final destination of these wheels was an e46 but they made a few different stops along the way...

It's not really a secret that I don't like Donks, I don't really see what there is to like about them and I'm quite thankful that around here they are few and far between. For those of you from the Southern States I feel for you as I could not imagine seeing rides like these on a regular basis, this poor Kompressor never stood a chance.
