Theme Tuesdays

I thought about doing another women of SEMA Theme Tuesday for 2012 but as it turns out I only took about six photos of models this year four of which sucked. That means it's time to fall back to an old favourite, 'Classy Car Models'.

This Theme Tuesday was pretty well inevitable. With the popularity of the FR-S/BRZ/86 everyone expected more than a few at the show and the car deservedly took home the award for Hottest Sport Compact. What I didn't expect going into SEMA 2012 was how similarly modified many of 'Toybarus' would be to one another with the majority being equipped with either a Rocket Bunny aero kit, Vortech Supercharger, and some manner of air ride.

Recently a couple s-10 owning friends of mine stripped their trucks down to bare metal and seeing them both paint and rust less (at least for the time being) triggered this weeks Theme Tuesday. Interestingly enough it was common to come across posts that read 'this car was later painted' due to how hard it is to keep a bare metal car looking pristine no matter what you coat it with.

Got news the other day on instagram that Steve (who owns the SR-20 Powered e30 currently in PBMW) recently picked up an FC RX-7. When asked what his plans for the car were he replied "thinking wide as fuck wheels, obnoxious body kit, white or bass boat paint..."

When I did the first 'Cars With Mouths' Theme Tuesday in 2011 I never imagined it would be so well received, nor did I think that it would lead to a part two, but a year later here we are. Plenty of military (Warthog/Tigershark) inspired examples in this post as well as a few more creative examples.

I didn't go to H20i again this year, no excuse really, I just plain couldn't afford it due to recent purchases and trip to Vegas (read: SEMA) at the end of this month. So similar to last year I did a quick perusal of photo threads and compiled a short list of cars I liked.

Since the 'Drifting Gif' Theme Tuesday I've had a bumpercrop of various automotive gifs floating around on my hard drive and today I am going to post all of those that are not racing related. You will probably have to be a little patient and let this one load a minute. I'm sure posting a page of only gifs is not exactly on the list of things to do to decrease page load times.

Lately a number of people have been subtly (and not so subtly) suggesting that I should make the switch to air. While I have yet to make up my mind one way or the other I will say that the idea of having the ability to lay sparks down whenever I feel like is pretty damn appealing.

Rolling with the tone set by Erik's feature today I am going to post a selection of platforms not commonly seen within the stance community. I did something similar before called 'Untraditional Low' but I prefer' uncommon' better (there is of course no telling how I will feel about calling it that in two years time).

OEM wheel swapping seems to be growing in popularity and creativity as the years go by. A few years ago the go to wheel to put on pretty well everything was the Corvette 'Sawblade' and while a lot of people are still going that route, I've seen plenty of other manufacturers give up their wheels to a variety of different platforms.

Sadly no 'women of Importfest' Theme Tuesday this year (model photos will just be rolled into later coverage) but what I do have today is another collection of awesome photos I've found collected here and there. They really don't have anything in common aside from being awesome, but that's ok.

I've been meaning to do a post where all of the captions are song lyrics for some time now but I had been putting it off because I kept forgetting which lyrics I wanted to reference soon after the song finished. However using the last set of Importfest tickets I have to give away as motivation I've managed to pull together 14 for today's post.
