Random Dope

Just a quick dose of stance on a Sunday morning.

I've seen this Scion a few times in my travels in the interweb. The man behind OMG Pancakes is a big fan of this car and I get most of updates regarding it from there. The Bosozoku style is a fairly rare in North America so it's interesting to see someone with enough guts to try and tackle it but it raises the questions are we ready for this style to come here and do we even need it?

I've decided to create a new category called 'Random Dopeness' for days that I don't have much to say but a few things to post. I figure it's also a good way to prevent myself from re posting content since I have over 200 posts and a bad memory. Here is Random Dopeness two of many.

Today we have another local maxbimmer produced build but this one is pretty crazy because to most rational people this car was not worth saving. To the owner this car held a lot of sentimental value so when his car meet the wall at Mosport the question wasn't whether or not it would make it back to the track the question was rather how mean will it be when it got there.

It snowed Monday night after I got home pretty decent but the weatherman says that the weather is going to be above freezing for the next week or so which means I can hopefully wash my car and have it stay clean for longer than two seconds.

When my truck got broken into and written off I was left in a bit of a lurch looking for a car. I liked the wagon like properties of the Blazer but hated it being a slow gas pig, I loved Subaru Wagons but couldn't afford one, so I started to look at Mazda Protege 5s and although I ended up with a 3 I still have a soft spot for p5s.

Looks like Christmas was good to some this year as two of the builds I have been sharing got pretty significant updates over the winter holiday, both the M-tricks Autosports 2002 build and Pat Cyr's F20 AE86 build were updated so let's take a look at what's been done.

I saw these two cars today in a local topic about flushess. Neither are really flush but both are on that One Brands Trash vibe I love so much.

I spotted this on the fatlace forums and had posted it on my local Mazda 3 board but after looking at it and looking at it again I decided I should post it here as well. At first I was not a huge fan of the 3 spoke wheels but they really grew on me.

Today's Winter Wednesday pic is pretty much on par with the weather we have been having here in the GTA. Small amounts of accumulation and a lot of slush and gray. I'm not really complaining but it's not like I am stoked on it either. Anyway this 510 owner decided to have a little fun with the snow on his car.

I first saw this Subaru posted on Noah's blog but until my friend Dave sent me the link to the picture thread on NASIOC I had not seen any photos of it in action. I'm glad to see that the owner actually uses this car as it would have been a shame for him to build it just to get under the skin of people like myself and the crew over at HellaFlush.

I've been meaning to compile a list of some of my favorite automotive blogs for awhile now and sadly this idea for the '12 Auto Blogs of Christmas' hit me after I could have done it for the twelve days leading up to Christmas. But I decided to not let a little thing like time stop me and went ahead and compiled a list of the 12 auto blogs I visit regularly in no particular order.
