Every year, there’s a mad scramble to get your car done before the first show of the year. Sure, you had MONTHS to prepare but it always seems like the week before the show, you are scrambling around, calling parts stores, turning wrenches for hours, freaking out over tracking numbers and generally stressing out about getting your car finalized. All winter you’ve been stockpiling parts for forced induction, calculating offsets, scouring the forums, getting things painted and dreaming of the reveal for the world to see. Whether your plans are secret or you’ve had everyone AND their mom over to help you, nothing compares to rolling that car out of the garage completed and giving it one final wash before you put your hard work (and blown paychecks) on display.

During my time in China, I have seen cars ranging from ridiculous to ABSOLUTELY absurd... and not in a good way. I was relieved when one day as I was walking on my school campus and a Mini Clubman S passed me… I noticed it was not at stock height and definitely was not on stock wheels. So then it all began; I chased the car down needing to talk to the owner. He must have thought I was a little crazy, being out of breath, using my broken Chinese I said, “我喜欢你的车！” (I like your car!). He told me he spoke a little English but it was so rare that a foreigner was into cars - especially a girl. We then spoke about his car, which is on air and Rotiform NUEs, I expressed to him how I had not seen many nice cars around China, much less Beijing. He was shocked and told me there are quite a lot of car enthusiasts in Beijing. Read More

I took a drive up to Golden Gardens (Seattle, WA) with Fellow Canibeat Photographer Ignatius McCarthy a few weeks ago for this meet which was put on by Mike Tolliver @ Stancewars and NW-Built. The meet accommodated 3,000 people and hundreds of cars. Here is just a slice of what went on. Enjoy guys! Read More

For those that dont know the Pacific Northwest is not known for having the best weather (it rains here A LOT!). This past weekend the clouds cleared up and we had the nicest weather of the year thus far. It was actually warm and sunny for once and everyone took full advantage of it! Luckily it was the same day as the first meet of the year put on by the guys of Mike Tolliver @ Stancewars and NW-Built. They both organize many shows and meets throughout the year that always bring out the best from all over the PNW.

This week's #PMR comes from Kevin Chow, a familiar photographer here on Canibeat, and one that you'll probably see a lot more work from in the future. Kevin submitted these photos of Phuong's BMW 3 Series to me this week and I couldn't pass them up. Sitting on a staggered set of Work Meister S1's, 19"x9" and 19"x10" in the front and rear respectively, Phuong's BMW is practically impossible to miss. The wheels have a custom Neochrome finish which compliments the unique color-shifting paint of the body. It is an undeniable fact that this car is definitely a head-turner! Read More
