This week we bring you a shot of Eric Penelow's Boston Green e36 at First Class Fitment 2011. Just when we thought Eric's car couldn't get any better on the OZ Futura's he switched it up and came out with a rare set of Cromodora splits in 2011. Eric is one of the founders of So Good!, a new street apparel brand, and he is also one of the videographers responsible for this video from First Class Fitment so check it out if you haven't already! Right click and save this image for the high-res 1920x1200 version!

"The automotive scene makes homes to many differently styles of tuning culture. Be it race cars, VIP cars, drift cars or off the wall exotics. But one thing that bring all these styles together is their shared love for cars. Now days people spend too much time talking about why they're cool and why you're not. The Tokyo Auto Salon brings every style together under one roof and shares it with the world. Surely we can all appreciate each others cars more than once a year, can't we?"

Some of us like to be different and stick out from the crowd and not be the following type. People choose differently by the type of mods they do such as using out of the ordinary colors or rare exterior parts on their vehicle. Jose Lopez started out his build very different by choosing a chassis you don't see too many people modifying, a Nissan Cube. Read More »

Well my friend PT (founder of Blown Euros) reached out to me a few weeks ago and said his tires were almost shot on his Imola Red e39 M5, and he had a fresh set waiting to go on. So before he mounted the new tires he wanted to burn the old tires down to cords and take some burnout pics! Here is one of my favorites from our quick shoot!

We all had a starting point; a reason for getting into the scene. For many, it started at a young age with a passion for cars having been passed down from a father or grandpa who tinkered around in the garage or took them to car shows. A larger percentage found their roots through friends who had “sick” cars when they were in high school or college (depending on your age, it could’ve been the body-kit/underglow inspiring “Fast and Furious” Era) and wanted to turn their vehicle into an extension of themselves and their style, not just something to get you from A to B. For as many of us who have wandered from the first scene we became a part of (Euro, JDM, Domestic, etc), there are just as many who have stuck with the same make for years. Matt Waln is one of those who stayed true to his roots: BMW. The car you see before you as the subject of our feature is actually his fourth Bavarian creation, so he knows them like the back of his hand. Read More »

So how on earth did you end up with this??? Kevin Lu is undoubtedly tired of answering this question. You see, every car has a story. Some cars find their owners in traditional ways; a search on Autotrader or an ad on Craigslist, followed a tedious haggle with a suspiciously friendly salesman or an all-to-eager-to-sell previous owner. One call to the bank, another to the insurance company, and the first chapter is over. This tale repeats itself everyday, all around the world. Except for Kevin Lu. After all, one doesn't simply stumble upon a JDM performance car rotting away in a derelict used car lot. Finding a car like his Nissan Silvia takes time, money, and a of touch legal...."finesse". Being insane helps too. Read More »

When you go to meets, flip through your favorite publication, or click to your favorite car site, you come across cars of all makes and models trying to grab attention by pairing their cars with wild colors whether it be their wheels or other exterior mods. Occasionally though, you find a car that seems to reach out and grab your eyes but won’t have a single “loud” color draped on it. Instead they went for a clean and sleek look and the end product becomes a car that has had attention paid to it because of the work that has gone through out the car not because it has neon green wheels shoved under it. Enter Chazz Hobster and his Honda S2000 that has been built to be sleek, sexy and just the way he wants it. Read More »

Form and function is what every car enthusisates wants to see built in a car. Many people find their inspirations from race car drivers for performance gains and the vip scene for that luxury finesse. But what if your inspirations came from a Formula D driver, like Walker Wilkerson, and the car isn't even meant for drifting? Well here's one Mazdaspeed 3 owner that did just that. Read More »
