Random Dope

Don't mind if I do.

Bad title I know, but moving past that, Noah at EKhatch is posting regularly again and has done something pretty interesting with his hood. He's brought it down to metal and thrown some WW2 era Rob Schwager graphics on it for this summer.

Last week I posted a sick STI on Advans sharing lens space with an equally sick s2000 and the week before that I posted a flush s2000 on blue Volks which was the car that started the local s2000 onslaught. Today I've got some more photos of the s2000 and STI, along with a TSX, 350z and the Civic SI you might have seen hiding in the original s2000 shoot.

Maybe it's just me but I have always thought these cars looked like shoes, not to say they are not capable of looking good or performing well (as this post proves), but they still look like shoes. Maybe the perfect car for a sneaker aficionado?

This is really weird, a member on JDMrides had a CF DA hood for sale that 11 people said they would but all flaked out for one reason or another. So instead of throwing it in a corner and waiting for a new buyer the seller got frustrated and filmed himself destroying the usable hood. There is something to be said here about the western society and waste but that's for more sophisticated blogs, here I just say WTF.

When I was working on last weeks e30 touring Theme Tuesday I came across this really nice e30 coupe. These pictures are nowhere near new since I have seen them before (2001 2002 maybe?) but I don't like this car any less now than I did then. This e30 just goes to show how far ahead Europe was (and arguably still is) and that nothing is new these days just old stuff done differently.

I'm not sure what's going on so far this year but I sure hope it continues as this is the third clean, local, s2000 I am posting in the past two weeks. Last year I can't really recall devoting a post to even one. Today's contender is also wearing Volks and comes with a bonus STI.

Some of you might remember this e46 m3 I threw up awhile back in a post titled "Just Right". Well this time a non M owner has come through to show us that with this chassis sometimes less is more.

It looks like Toronto area s2000 owners have something to prove because this is the second s2000 I have found in as many weeks sitting on dope 'real' wheels. Last weeks clean white s2000 was sitting on Volks while this weeks yellow beauty is sitting low on Work VS-XX wheels.

Today's WTF Friday is a perfect example of what happens when a car owner has a decent chunk of money and no real taste. Yes, I am sure we have all seen examples of this before, but, this one I found particularly alarming since the rest of the car isn't over the top with ugly.

This could have easily been a WTF Friday post but I don't think that would have done this build the justice it deserves, this is honestly one of the craziest things I have ever seen done by a privateer and obviously I am not alone since jalopnik along with a number of message boards have already given it props. When a talented 27 year old Quebec native combines an EG chassis Civic with a GD (I think) chassis Subaru on a shoestring budget of less than 6k the internet stops and says "mother of god".

I saw this car in the Mazda3Forums aggressive fitment thread and immediately realized that this is the look that I am after for my car, a reasonable daily drivable amount of flush mixed with a nice stance. I have quite a few of these same mods already so I just need to get my fitment a bit more on point and I should be looking pretty legit...
