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.

Recently I stumbled upon on Stance Works thread that kind of rattled the entire belief system this site is based on, for years I have often considered American cars -ie: Impalas slammed on Supremes with white walls- a different style of lowrider but it turns out that is not the case. According to members of the Los Boulevardos Car Club these cars that are too late to be traditional (in the hot rod sense), and too lowrider to be custom (think sleds), and too custom (think lack of wires) to be lowriders are their own niche entirely.

Prior the the KJohn Wickedest Slam show I stopped by the True Playaz Candy and Chrome show a few minitues from my house. Last year I showed up way to early which meant a really long day so this year I showed up around 2:30 right in the middle of the action so to speak.

A couple weeks ago Rob from Perfromance Improvments let me know that I should check out the Majestics/Luxurious lowrider BBQ  at St Marie Curtis Park West. Generally the word "Lowrider" is more than enough to get me to come to an event but when you throw in the word 'barbecue' along with it I am there in a second.

I've made no effort in hiding my love for LS motors in all things with four wheels and as such here is another. While this may not be the only LS1 Astro floating around the net it is probably the closest to stock in appearance I have ever seen, running boards and all.

It seems that everyday a new car blog (or fanpage) pops doing the same old song and dance; reposts from the 'heavy hitters' with soft core porn intermixed to pump up fanpage numbers. However every once and awhile I stumble across a new blog that immediately makes it's way into my reader and Wheels Are Everything is one of those blogs.

I arrived in the Bloor-Yorkville area around 9:30pm and walked to the Park Hyatt hotel, where I believe the Gumballer’s were spending the night. Three streets had been shut down across from the hotel to allow a U-shaped row for the Gumball cars to park and rev their engines for the crowd. Their cars were fenced off from the public, and rightfully so – the place was packed.

I have this friend Josh who I talk to about cars quite a bit, you might know him as the guy who has a slight obsession with Honda Odysseys. In my latest effort to get him into American cars I have been sending him ones in Japan. He still seems pretty indifferent to most American builds but he did send me a link to this one so maybe it is working on a subconscious level.

Most of the coverage I have seen from those who visit California (San Francisco and LA area) seems to be centralized around a visit to the Fatlace store in SF, a Hella Flush event, a stop at Rotiform, and sometimes time/weather permitting a stop at one other event. Though it isn't all that far from the strip, and an awesome place to visit as a gear head, very few ever talk about let alone cover the Peteresn Automotive Museum, at least on the sites I frequent.

In the 'Four On The Floor?' Theme Tuesday I posted a Nissan 300C lowrider hittin a three at a gas station followed by Datun 200L with interesting rear window vinyl also paused on three. Then later I dedicated an entire Tuesday to strictly non traditional lowriders. After doing those posts I didn't think I would come across another, different, Nissan on wires but here we are.
