Seriously people… stop doing this!

Featured Shop: Seche Media
In an effort to promote some of the hard working business owners in the GTA car scene Stance is everything is going to run bi weekly features of fair, reputable, quality shops. This weeks feature is, Seche Media, a vinyl specialty shop.
Seche Media is an online operation with a store front in Ottawa. Their online representative on the message boards is Mathieu Leblond who is located in Kingston but periodically commutes to Toronto on weekends.
As a result most of the goods purchases from Seche Media are done so through their online store or through Mathieu directly. Shipping within Ontario is free and fast with most products arriving in less than a week which makes them a great place to consider for that last minute show addition.
Seche Media sponsors the local Mazda 3 message board and as a result has a large selection of products for Mazda 3s. However they are capable of doing products for nearly any application.
All of the products I have received from Seche Media have met or exceeded my expectations and the one time Mathieu forgot to ship my product he sent me two to make up for it.
The next time you need some vinyl work done be sure to consider Seche Media, once I get a design finished I am going with them for StanceIsEverything.com decals.
I’ve included pictures of some of their available products below.
UPS knows whats up
Proof that the right wheels and the right stance can make just about any vehicle look great.

Theme Tuesdays: Vans Can play too
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 fit the vehicles overall theme). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: vans.
When people think of modified vans its hard not to think of those monsters from the 70s these days certain vans in the right hands can look down right amazing. Here is a collection of a few of the better ones I have seen recently.
VW
The Volkswager crowd are pretty much the innovators of the extremely lowered vans (well bus to them but lets not split hairs).
Imports
Import vans (the tasteful ones not these things) are sometimes done up in ‘tuner’ style but more usually VIP style, really the VIP style suits them best.
Domestic’s
I’m sure all of us have seen a modified Safari or two. The 70s American van craze might have blown over but that doesn’t mean people stopped modifying American vans.
The Famous ones
I couldn’t justifiably have a post about modified vans and leave out some of the most famous custom vans around.
The Header Car
The car in the header is not one that is often seen on the streets but that didn’t prevent its owner from picking out a kill wheel/tire and suspension package, that matches the well kept black paint.
The car in question is a De Tomaso Pantera. The Pantera was produced from 1971 to 1991 by Italian car maker De Tomasso, over that time span the Pantera (Panther) came in a variety of different flavors but whats important is that this one has its stance on lock.
While I only have three pictures of this ride you know what they say, a picture is worth 1000 words.

WTF Friday Answer: 1973 Toyota Strout
Last Friday I asked the question WTF is this?
Well it’s a 1973 Toyota Strout. Never heard of it? Ya me either.
This side of the world Strouts quickly got renamed to “Hi-Lux” but over in the land of the rising sun they kept the ‘Strout’ name. This particular Strout is bagged, body dropped, and shaved and graced the cover of Mini Truckin magazine.
Here are a few more pictures of this unique little mini:

Go Speed Go!
Hey everyone, just a heads up if you notice some weirdness on the page today its because I am trying to diagnose and fix some speed issues (14 seconds to load wtf?). Trying to get this page down to a 7 sec 1/4 mile so sorry if there is any temporary fires, shouldn’t be too long and I will update this post when everything is fixed up.
Update: Cut load times in half, back to the show.
Event Preview: Bimmersport BBQ
July 12th 2009 is shaping up to be a busy day in the GTA automotive enthusiasts world. Earlier in the week I previewed the Tuners Against Street Racing Event and today I will be previewing the 3rd Annual Bimmersport BBQ.
Admission and BBQ is free, as a thank you from Bimmersport to the BMW enthusiasts in the area, and in addition to the cars there will be a live DJ (Mystikal) and a raffle for products from Autowerke, UUC Motorwerks, Essex distribution, Tires23, Eurostyle Design, Highline Motors, Lubro-moly, ATE, and Redline which will be hosted by lovely Got Ass Models.
This year they have decided to switch things up a bit by having only one class, Best Of Show, voted by the enthusiasts.
The show runs from 11-6 at 6780 Pacific Circle Unit 3, Mississauga, Ontario.
I have never been able to make it to this event but from coverage I have seen from others it looks like I am always missing out. If you are not going to Tuners Against Street Racing make sure you find yourself at the Bimmersport BBQ.
Check out some pictures from last years event:

Event Preview: Street Classics Cruise & Weekly Car Show
Turns out that the Canadian Tire Car show I attended on June 6th was not a one time deal. These shows are done by an organization called “Street Classics Show and Shine Association™” and they happen every Saturday (weather permitting) at Canadian Tire # 70 which is located at 1608 The Queensway in Etobicoke.
The shows run from May 9th 2009 until September 26th 2009 and are completely free and run from 5:30 until the last car rolls out. Last year one of the shows hit a record 700 cars and the50/50 ticket winner took home $870 in mod money.
Be sure to check out these shows for your fill of vintage muscle.
Shout outs to Eugene at fakestime.com for helping me find more information on this show.
