Random Dope

I got in late last night from a weekend long snowboarding trip I am a little tired and disoriented but thankfully today is a holiday. I am going to use today to catch up on some things Stance Is Everything related after I do some cleaning up here around the house. Until I get some time to write a little bit more here is two quick shots of a Mazda MX-5 dumped on some Equips.

I've posted a few S cars here and there but I really like this one. So clean, so simple, so dope.

When Mike Latter bought his 2001 Subaru Forrester he had no intentions of modifying it, however shortly after joining the Toronto Subaru Club he was bit with what we enthusiasts like to call the mod bug. After plenty of online research hours, wrench turning and visa bills later, Mike's car is on it’s third revision and currently awaiting its fourth.

Cars like this are the reason that I am glad I started this blog. When I originally saw this car on jdmrides.ca I thought it was amazing and sent it to a few friends but I really wished that more car people got a chance to see a machine like this since I think cars like these make the hobby more interesting. Thankfully the thread I saw it in over a year ago was bumped and the pictures were still live so I can now share this ride with a larger audience.

While collecting pictures for next weeks Theme Tuesday I came across this funny picture of a girl sitting on top of a huge double blower setup on a pro street looking Pontiac GTO. With my interest peaked I decided to investigate further.

Today's blast from the past doesn't really go all that far back, just to a time when gta e30s were low with wheels were sunk into fenders. Though now sold this alpine white e30 will be remembered as one of the first e30s in the GTA do go down and out.

I've been noticing smooth chrome wheels seem to be surfacing outside of the rod/muscle/mini truck scene lately, and while I wouldn't want to see these wheels popping up ever where, I do like them in moderation. It's a nice change of pace from the standard fare.

This morning my gf and I realized the fatal flaw of the standard alarm clock, you have to set it. Luckily I've had these photos uploaded since last week when I was going to post them until something else came up. I don't really know a lot about this car other than the fact that its a build from Portugal shot by Gonçalo Reis.

All of the images and video in today's WTF Friday post are pretty random but they are all loosely automotive related and pretty weird so up they go. I've also added a flashback Friday portion to my Friday posts to shine some light on older content some of the new readers might not have seen.

Chris Savard's double now triple build The Infamous Project has been moving along ahead of schedule. The AC Schnitzer e36 is more or less complete, just awaiting a few final finishing parts, and the Mustang is next up for some mods followed by his Lightning. The e36 looks exactly like the rendering except for one minor detail, it's actually lower!

Spotted this set of photos on HellaIV via EKHatch and I have to admit I was pretty impressed with the use of a fairly common location. Photos in train yards are nothing new but I have never seen someone drive on the rails like this before.

Now I know that some of you looking at this photo thinking whats so special about a square body s-10 Blazer/Jimmy in the snow. Well this isn't just a sqaure body s-10 Blazer (the best gen) its an honest to goodness GMC Typhoon! While I am sure the modestly rated 280hp/360 ft/lbs of tq factory turbocharged 4.3L Typhoon would be tons of fun in the snow in salty climates these things rust out faster than the electric gauges in standard Jimmy's will fail.
