Like many other young boys, I grew up liking cars because of how they looked. In my ignorant, youthful eyes, some cars looked like spaceships, others looked like monstrous beasts and, of course, there were the cars that looked unexplainably cool. When that little boy transformed into a government certified automobile operator, the first thought was, of [...]
On the way to Up Garage, we spotted (and then stalked) this slammed Toyota Hiace. I quickly snapped this shot before heading under one of the underwater tunnels! This image is to conclude my contribution to Haulers & Sedans month. -Casey Dhnaram.

If I had to pick one word from the dictionary to describe Round 2 of the 2010 Rockstar Energy Drink D1NZ Championship it would have to be drama. Or maybe emotion, or perhaps comedy. Actually, at times it seemed as if it was a chaotic cocktail of all three! I arrived in the early morning [...]
A few of you mentioned that I forgot the Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 when I did my station wagon retrospective yesterday. It just so happens that Cameron from Sunshine Coast, Australia sent us this great photo of his Legnum. He's out fitted the twin turbo V6 wagon with a Vouge aero kit, Ganador mirrors, Recaro Seats, [...]

Has it already been a full month since the SEMA Show? It sure doesn't feel like it. For my final SEMA Car Spotlight, I wanted to share this KP61 Toyota Starlet I found hiding in the corner of one of the display halls. I was amazed at how much attention the Japanese classic was getting. [...]
Have you guys enjoyed haulers and sedans month? I for one sure have, and as we wrap it up I wanted to do a quick post celebrating one of my favorite people haulers of all time – the third and fourth gen JDM-spec Honda Odyssey. Even in stock form, the sleek, low slung lines of [...]
Sometimes when staying in random hotel rooms, I often find myself trying to imagine what sort of goings-on had previously transpired in the same space. Maybe it's like trying to see ghosts. I'd love to know what stories that the hotel walls would tell, if they could speak. I'm sure some of the rooms I've [...]

We've all see pictures of Nissan Stageas fitted with front R34 or even R35 conversions. But honestly, is that even necessary when the stock car can be made to look like this? It's not everyday that you see a fully stripped out, track-prepared station wagon unless you happen to live in Osaka where Final Motion [...]
Howard sent us this picture of his dog hauler, parts hauler, and daily driver. It's a '94 Mercedes E320 Wagon powered by a '95 C36 AMG engine with a nitrous kit for good measure. Powerful, smooth riding, great looking, and very unique. Good choice, Howard. -Mike Garrett

What you are looking at here has to be one of the coolest pickup trucks ever. Built out of a '91 GMC Syclone, the HighPerformanceTrucks.com Cyborg has gone over 165MPH at the Mojave Mile, ran in the Spectre 341 Hill Climb, and is a regular at open track events. Even in stock form the AWD [...]

Time for my final review of SEMA. I hope these reviews have given you a good insight into this huge trade show. Back to the cars. The Honda stand was simple and low budget (hey, Green carpet, we have a stand!), but had a great variety of CR-Z’s from various builders including in-house 'Honda Design' (Red CR-Z) and Honda [...]
I think I speak for most of us when I say that I LOVE station wagons. Wagons make awesome platforms for customization, and they will often end up being cooler than their sedan or coupe counterparts. Over the years there have also been some very desirable station wagons, straight off the showroom floor. As we [...]
