WTF Fridays: Two very strange things

Nov 27, 2009

The world is a very, very strange place and will continue to be strange with or without the internet, the internet just makes it easier for strange stuff to be passed from person to person. While I’m not sure if that is a good thing it is at least something and it means WTF Fridays will be going for a long, long, time.

Mechaphile

I’ll tell most people I love cars, but I don’t love cars, not like this. During the course of a restoration on his VW beatle this lad fell in love with his car to the point where he needed to express his love sexually. He uses a condom, the exhaust pipe, and his imagination to get the job done.

The weirdest part is that he bought another car he considers male and is experimenting with a gay mechaphile relationship…WTF?

WTF?? Seriously — Looks like he should have spent more time restoring less time diddling

Flairs – Truckers Delight

This animation is super well done and loosly car based and very loosely based in reality. It contains animated nudity and sexuality so if your work is really tight wad might be best to watch at home.

Site Updates

This weeks been pretty textbook sent out the last batch of stickers I had on Monday so pretty much everyone who asked for them should be receiving theirs soon. If I didn’t email you and say we were out (and I only had to tell that to one person) then expect some soon.

Even though no feature this week traffic was still pretty good and I have a few fans a lot farther away than I expected. I’m planning to write another article for Monday since it’s been awhile and I already have next weeks Theme Tuesday all sorted out so onwards and upwards!

Nelson, a member of modified society, owns a very clean purple-ish VR6 Corrado which I first spotted at the CSCS Finale back in October. He has contacted me a few times about doing a full feature on his car but my schedule and the weather just made it really hard to do late in the season, we are planning to do a full one next summer so consider this a taste of what’s to come.

Toronto graffiti makes for great back drops

Really like this color it's unique — I really like this unique color

I've always been a fan of the fenders on Corrados — I've always been a fan of Corrado fenders

More of Toronto's great graffiti, going to have to ask Nelson where these were taken — More of Toronto's great graffiti, I'm going to have to ask Nelson where these were taken

My gf informs me Wicked is a swinger bar, but I have never been with her...

Big thanks to Nelson for sending these pictures for the site and being extremely patient in waiting for his full feature.

Nice 2002 build continued

A few days ago a friend of mine brought up this 2002 as the owner lives nearby where we used to work and we used to see it all the time. I mentioned to him that the car was under the knife and would look completely different the next time he saw it. Coincidentally updated his photo bucket with progress pictures of the build and since the last time I mentioned it here are some of the updated shots.

This is about where we left it last time, wheels on fenders somewhat in place

Now the kit and flares have been molded to the vehicle — Now the kit and flares have been moulded to the vehicle

Early stages of the flares being attached to the body

In addition to the new wheels, wider fenders, and m20 swap the car is also receiving the TLC necessary for a 70s car that has spent its entire life in Canada. The rockers and spare tire tub have already been replaced and any and all rust is being removed as work continues.

All of the work is being done by M-tricks autosports and this car should be ready in time for next summer.

Theme Tuesdays: Painted Wheels

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Painted Wheels

Remember not too long ago when people only put wheels on their cars that were black, gunmetal, silver, or gold? Not too many brave souls dared to push the border past these colors, however now that black with a polished lip, and gunmetal have been done to death people are starting to get far more creative with their rim color schemes.

Like all things experimentation doesn’t always work but when it does its spectacular.

Loud solid colors

No better way to make your wheels pop than painting them a loud color. To pull this look of though you need a nice set of wheels and a great drop.

Sleepy Wagon makes another appearance on Stance Is Everything with his old green rims

If Julian got tired of this look I can't wait to see his next one

Without these green wheels this could be just another civic

Painted Steelies

While not after market rims a lot of us rock these in the winter and maybe instead of leaving yours black this year you could try something a little more creative.

This color without the white walls would be tragic but works well with

This whole car took me by surprise, it's really well put together

Widened checkered steels on this euro hatch

A lot of work went into these steels, worth it in the end though

Painted Lips

Honestly I think I’m starting to like painted lips over polished in a lot of applications.

Pylon orange Peugeot with complimenting wheels

This Viper (srt-10) is rocking painted lips and barrels

I might have posted this one before, but its worth another glace

Painted BBS’s

A good friend of mine spent a lot of time trying to convince me to color match my RMs, I never did it because I didn’t think I could pull it off with the stock lip and the height I was at but these cars all pull of painted BBS’s (and maybe replicas) very, very well.

It takes a lot of commitment to paint a set of sought after wheels completely white

The license plate on this mini is killer!

Brian's wagon had to make the list, clean and stylish

How this owner knew these two colors would work together I will never know

Neon green works, especially when you have enough dish to eat out of

This post would not be complete with Sean Dub's car

Readers Rides: Brians WRX Wagon

Julian, the owner of this super clean wagon, from the last readers rides post spread the word about Stance Is Everything to his friend Brian who also happens to own a WRX Wagon. I’m a big fan of Subaru’s and BBS wheels so once I opened Brian’s email I responded to let him know that I would love to run some shots of his car.

Brian’s clean white 2003 WRX wagon sits on Tien Flex coilovers and rolls on a set of color matched 17×8.5 +35 BBS RS wheels. Everything on this car works really well together and it flows quite nice.

Bug eyes are my favorite generation Subaru Wag

Props to Brian for keeping white BBS wheels so clean

This fitment and stance is perfect, the right balance of everything

I'm normally not a huge fan of roof racks however Brian pulls it off quite well

Ironically both he and Julian’s wagons fit in with what I have in mind for tomorrows Theme Tuesday so you might just see different pictures of them again tomorrow and if Brian and Julian are examples of the type of cars posters on NASOIC drive then I might just have to get an account there as well.

Before emissions tests and the fear that we were going to run out of gas in the foreseeable future cars were big, very big, land yachts in fact. While today large cars seem to be slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past some cars are still big enough to be considered new age boats. 300c’s are one of these cars, compared to most cars on the road today they are pretty big, big enough to attract attention in stock trim but once slammed they demand it.

Today’s Sunday quick post is a a few 300c’s I had in my collection.

Caption — Not only is this 300 super slammed check out the dish on the front and the rear

WTF Friday: Crazy Finnish Rally Crashes

Recently, one late Saturday night, I was watching Destroyed in Seconds and among videos of people building their own bulldozers and wrecking a town,snow mobilers failing extreme hill climbs, motorcycle riders clipping walls, there was video of some insane rally crashes. Then, a few days later I saw this 10 minute video of crazy finnish rally crashes. Whenever I see these videos my first reaction is WTF why are spectators always so close to the action?

Warning: If you are squeamish or don’t like car crashes this isn’t for you. From what I have watched it doesn’t look like anyone gets critically injured but some people defiantly come close to a spinning rally machine taking off their heads.

If I ever go to a rally event you can bet I will be standing far away with a long lens, as much as I would want to see the cars up close I don’t really need to see the catalytic converter that bad, or feel how much it burns.

Site Updates:

Once again the featured ride stole the show for weekly top content but the readers rides this week also did pretty well, I’m always down to do both readers rides and features so if you are interested just send the email to [email protected] and we will take it from there.

All the stickers have been spoken for from the first run and I am mailing sets out this weekend to: Jason, Brian, Logan, Blake, Marco, Nicolas, and Eddie. I plan on contacting Seche Media tonight regarding getting another batch done. I am thinking of getting 15 of every color this time however if you think their is a color I should get let me know in the comments.

I think I am throwing my winter tires on this weekend which is a bummer but I will probably leave my lip on until the first snow fall, we shall see. I will be working Saturday so I might need to blow of some steam with a quick post so if you have a second over the weekend take a peak back at the site and you might see something new. Keep it rubber side down!

I spotted these local E90/E92/E93 chassis BMWs during my travels on maxbimmer.com. New luxury cars with a nice set of rims and a drop are the perfect union of stance and class.

Slammed 335i

This 335i runs with an OEM performance exhaust, OEM lip, and OEM style 269 wheels. Performance has been beefed up with a cat-less downpiples, a CAI, an upgraded intercooler and engine software, finally the stance was brought down via KW V2’s.

OEM appearance package, OEM wheels and a drop, can't go wrong

The new Stance really brings out the clean lines of the vehicle

Storm Trooper m3

This M3 sits on H&R sport springs and 20″ custom painted 360 Fordged Spec 5ive wheels. Performance wise it has a Rouge engineering pulley, and AA software and short shifter. A CF Lip, diffuser, spoiler, side vents, and kidney grills help complete the black white color scheme.

This drop top m3 is suited and booted in black and white

The hardtop helps the car flow way better than a rag top would

Some cars are meant to have a raked stance, this is one of them

I love getting email to the [email protected] account with pictures of readers rides that they would like to see on the site. It’s a cool feeling to run something you guys and girls want to be a part of and help gain more exposure. If these two cars are any indication of the caliber of rides my readers drive than I look forward to seeing a lot more.

Will’s VW

Will’s friend Adrian slid a picture of Will’s freshly painted bug slammed on Porsche phone dials to my PerfectStance twitter account and as soon as I saw it I knew it would get posted. It looks like this bug is completely on the floor and the scenery in this picture has me really jealous with winter right around the corner.

This pic looks like it belongs on a post card, the sunset is perfect

Julian’s Sleepy Wagon

Julian sent some pictures of his wagon along with a request for some stickers and the second I opened them I was floored.

This wagon pulls off spaced out painted stock rims better than some cars pull off aftermarket rims. Julian says he is saving up for a set of VIP themed wheels so hopefully we will see an update of this ride looking even hotter soon enough.

Looks like Julian has the fenders pre rolled for something a little more aggressive

If you want to see your ride posted here just send some photos to [email protected] I only ask that your suspension is on point 😉

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: 3rd Generation RX-7s

I was watching the original The Fast and The Furious the other day and it reminded me of how hard everyone was jockin’ Supras, Eclipse’s, and RX-7s after that movie. While all of these cars still have a pretty big following I felt the need to show a little rotary love today.
