Besides nailing that timeless aggressive look with it’s fender mirrors, TRD wide body, and Work Equip 03s, how much of a riot would this thing be to thrash on!

Another bavarian rat

We’re supposed to get our first snow tomorrow. When I was younger that would have excited the hell out of me, the prospect of staying out all night ripping through the prisitine white blanket doing my best Marcus Gronholm impression. Now that I’m older and considerably more boring I dread it, freezing my arse off on smoke breaks at work, crawling home in rush hour traffic, scraping windows in the morning, ugh. Seeing this pair of 308s brought back some of that old feeling though, more of them this weekend.

Two major reasons I haven’t seen Jason for like 6 months now

Cars don’t make a community, it’s the people! HUGE thanks go out this week to Lisa, and to Cliff who is generously donating $5 from every sale of his custom wheel spacers. And especially Billy and everyone at EZ Baked Customz for sponsoring the raffle and raising $95 for The Melissa Project this month, is that amazing or what! Thank you to everyone who bought a raffle ticket and congrats to our friend Dennis on winning! Some more stickers are going out to Dennis, Lenny, and Eddie tomorrow as well as AJ who is the first person so far to lose his stickers before getting to slap them on something lol. EZ Baked has a new forum they just started so be sure to get over there and register, and as always, please remember to support the shops who really do support the community and care about the people in it!

Color schemes like this just make me melt, the way the kevlar, gold and bronze play off each other, ooohhhhh I love it. Man I wish I had the money to paint my daily. I found an old spray gun in my storage I need to check out and see if it still works properly. I’ve never sprayed a car before, don’t have a compressor and the amount of sanding involved is a real turn off, but just maybe next year. Having a storage space that had been a shop in the past is pretty cool, you never know what you’re going to find, came across an old compression tester too.

I know, it’s panty dropping gorgeous isn’t it? You know what’s weird though, out of all the cool stuff you can do to Honda hatches there’s one thing I’ve fantasized about for a while, and you’re probably going to think it’s stupid. I would love to find a way to modify the rear quarter windows on my EKs to flip out like that, I think that would just be the coolest thing. I know, I feel your “wtf” lol.

Has the import community settled on an “official” name for this look yet? To me it is very VW/euro inspired, it’s not quite “hood ride”, it sure ain’t JDM hard parking. Sometimes cars like this even almost have a slight hint of old school so cal beach cruiser flavor to them. The stance and stretch, roof rack, beat hood, lots of stickers look, we need a real name for it. Personally I like it and appreciate it just as much as the super clean look. What ever we’re going to call it, this EF nails it. I can’t quite tell if it’s on SSR reverse mesh or Axis OG Sans. Probably OGs, whatever I’m not snob about it like a lot of people, I just dig the car.
