Last Monday Chris Pereira (of the Canadian Sport Compact Series) invited me to locally renowned Subaru tuning shop Can Jam Motorsports to meet 2011 Rally of The Tall Pines winner “Crazy” Leo Urlichich. After a quick stop off at home for a bite to eat and my camera gear I headed back out to Richmond Hill to meet up with Chris who introduced me to Leo. Following a handshake and brief small talk Leo decided I had hung around long enough to meet Beast.

It's been a minute since I have posted a straight forward slammed S2000 with wheels that sit comfortably inside the fenders. With the S2000 people are quick to push the boundaries of what is possible in regards to aggressive fitment but this owner took a step back and spun the dial back around to where everything all started: Nice wheels with big drop.

I'm all for one of a kind bodies on top of existing platforms because people have done incredible things with this formula for years. Sadly (in my opinion) this particular example might be the worst thing to happen to the outside of a C3 Corvette since Corvette Summer. This once Vette known as the Scorpion (not to be confused with the Skorpion) is the result of 6 years of work and made up of a combination of fiberglass and hand crafted sheet metal. The craftsmanship seems to be there but the eye for an appealing end result? Not so much.

Nathan originally submitted his work a few months ago but due to a very busy event and feature season it took a little bit longer than usual to make it up on the site. Now that things have calmed down I am very happy to have the opportunity to present a small sampling of the work done by this quick learning, self taught, Gainsville Florida native.

M.O.M is an event that prior to attending I had heard nothing but good things about and with Stance East making the trek from New Brunswick to attend both M.O.M and Importfest I figured 2011 was as good a year as any to attend for the first time. Besides someone had to show Will around. M.O.M. was an extremely laid back, quiet, outdoor, event, the complete opposite of Importfest the day before and exactly what those of us who had been at IF needed (in addition to sleep).

Go figure that the day I finally decide to post these photos of Neil's bagged MKV in winter mode it starts to snow a little here in the Toronto. Neil basically got the jump on all of us this year in regards to winter preparation because his car has been setup like this since September. Though if my winter mode looked this good I wouldn't feel too bad about being extra early with the switch over either.

Back in high school (grade 11ish) a classmate picked up a 300zx and my first thoughts were how the hell did he afford that, and how long will it be before he wrecks it. I never did figure out how he got the coin to buy one but I do recall lending a hand replacing the clutch about two weeks after he got the car. Rumor has it not long after that it was wrapped around a pole or hopped a curb, whatever the case I never saw it again.

Back in February I stumbled across a Japan-born video on YouTube that features four impressive, VIP-styled JDM Honda Odysseys. Craving more, I did a bit of digging, and soon found myself flipping through a photo gallery belonging to Hoda — the owner of the red Odyssey in the video. Along with Hoda's photo gallery there is one more thing I found: His Twitter account. I followed him. We started talking. And when I made plans to visit Japan to see family, I wasted no time asking Hoda if he was interested to meet in person, he nearly instantly responded "yes".

It has been a long time since I've thought about 'the worlds lowest blazer' (at least five years) but for whatever reason it popped into my head while pulling together last weeks WTF Friday post. This truck is a great example of the extreme measures people were (and still are) willing to take to get their 'perfect stance'. I remember a lot of things about this truck (the extreme body drop, the fender humps, and the Fiero wheels) but a couple of the other details completely slipped my mind.
