In life it's important to learn from your mistakes so before I get any further in this post let me state that this is not an attack against Rotiform. I've never talked to anyone at Rotiform nor dealt with then in any way shape or form so I have no axe to grind. They have a strong standing in the aggressive fitment community and I'm a fan of more than one of their designs so I have no slanderous intent.

All of the Meguiar's Car Crazy Canada's Best competitors have now been picked with the last group of ten coming from Salon Auto-Sport in lovely Québec City. After almost not making it to the show due to a freak blizzard that threatened to leave them grounded mother nature eased up  just enough to allow the Meguiar's team to fly into QC and enjoy what looks to have been an amazing show.

We read his words and see the pictures he puts up every day and it's not hard to figure out that Dave Thomas has a keen eye for what looks good when it comes to cars and trucks. After all, that's what keeps readers coming back to Stance Is Everything. What we don't often see is Dave's personal car. Not because it's not worth showing, but because there simply isn't enough room for self-indulgence with the ever-growing list of cool cars he can't wait to show us.

Back with part two of the coverage from this years wildly successful Fitted Lifestyle Event presented by Stretch & Poke! Today's coverage actually has more photos than part one and to be completely honest there are still vehicles missing that I know I should have shot.Back with part two of the coverage from this years wildly successful Fitted Lifestyle Event presented by Stretch & Poke! Today's coverage actually has more photos than part one and to be completely honest there are still vehicles missing that I know I should have shot. After a few laps I decided to forgo taking photos and instead just hang out with the awesome group of people who made it out. However eventually I coincided defeat in the fact that I couldn't capture everything and just hung out with the awesome group of people who made it out.

The mantra of the devout non purist enthusiast is that the right motor for the job is the one that is the most reliable, cost effective, and powerful one available regardless of the make. More often than not GM's LSX ends up being the motor that fits those requirements, and as such the go to power plant for the non purist. It doesn't hurt that they came in a variety of different vehicles making them readily available, and have robust after market support.

For the past four years Dave and the ever growing Stretch & Poke! operating team have been providing Toronto's aggressive fitment community with quality events for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts. Last years season opening event clocked in record attendance and, not a group to rest on their laurels, the Stretch & Poke team strived to top their previous success with an even bigger 2013 event at an all new venue.

It's been said anything worth doing is worth doing in style and clearly that was the approach used when this Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was conceived and built. After finishing it's first (and only) Baja race in 1984 the RR sat for 17 years before retried (and reported late) stunt man Chuck Strange scooped it up.

Got the opportunity to check out the Street Classics 2013 season opener on Saturday. I ended up leaving the house a little bit late which meant that sadly I missed some of the people who ducked out early to go onto other long weekend festivities. The smaller amount of cars didn't bother me too much however because last year I didn't make it to nearly enough of these events so I was just happy to be out.

I've always found the relationship between Japan's automotive scene and the one in North America is pretty interesting. We copy them, they copy us, they copy us copying them, we copy them copying us copying them. It's like a never ending feedback loop that more often than not leads to a lot of cool cars.
