    Friends in Low Places

    Monday, April 22, 2013

    Sometimes a car that you “will swear to never turn a wrench on” takes a bite from the modification bug. We can completely relate. Take a look at Ian MacLeod’s 2008 Volvo C30 out of Texas that sets the bar to a new low. Mobile and OG versions here!

    First Class Fitment

    Friday, December 7, 2012

    Hanging around a parking lot looking at cars, to the uninitiated, seems odd enough. Paying for the privilege to do such a thing, seems a little…off. Do all the aforementioned at an airport in New Jersey and things transcend the word “confusing.” But that’s just what we did to experience Canibeat.com’s show called “First Class [...]

    Friday, October 5, 2012

    In issue #9 we cover do-it-yourselfing across the spectrum. Ryan Bauer’s family-grown Datsun 510 out of California is featured on the cover with a very form meets function JDM style. Inside, David Godfrey’s impressive “DIY” built Merkur XR4Ti is detailed. The level of fabrication and ingenuity will make your head spin. And, of course, a [...]

    Engineered To Perfection

    Friday, September 7, 2012

    Recently, we’ve been on a do-it-yourself kick. We’ve been inspired by projects we’ve seen both online and with our friends. And we’ve been lucky enough to have two recent features that have taken the DIY mantra to amazing  levels. Ryan Bauer’s Datsun 510 is a feast of retro Japanese goodness, and this feature, David Godfrey’s [...]

    Claybarring 101

    Wednesday, May 30, 2012

    We love clay bars. They’re cost effective and can totally rejuvenate the look of a well used car. Unfortunately, a lot of people are either intimidated by the process or haven’t heard of it before. We cover the steps and show you how easy it really is, with some tips along the way. Clear out [...]

Damaged Goods: A story of a saturated feature shoot.

When starting off for a photoshoot you always pray for three things: a good sky, no rain and minimal humidity. Sometimes you get your wishes, but sometimes you don’t.  In this particular case, during a shoot with Casey’s Focus SVT, “I didn’t”. We carefully organized three feature shoots back-to-back at three locations that would cater to each car’s [...]

2014 Ford Fiesta Leaked

We can’t confirm any preliminary details for the brand new Fiesta quite like we could the 2013 Volkswagen Golf leaked earlier today. What we can tell you is what we can see. Most importantly, that the Fiesta hasn’t gotten portly. The headlights remain largely the same shape and feel. The big mouth bass front end seems to [...]

More Than A Handful: Gatebil 2012 Blip

Gatebil is insane.  If you’ve never heard of it, think of it like this. Its like the automotive Norwegian Woodstock.  Picture a 3 day track track event filled with retardedly outrageous cars built for straight up time attack, drifting, or whatever. With 40,000+ spectators on hand, the vehicles on hand must have something crazy to [...]

Rolling the Wrong Way

I’ve seen plenty of hack job fender rolling attempts but this, with out a shadow of a doubt, takes the cake. A heavily bondo’d rear quarter just isn’t as malleable at the metal underneath. Perhaps this dude wishes it was? Seems like our rolling star is in good spirits after he completes his demolition job. [...]
