As I work through the early morning hours of the night taking care of last minute preparations for First Class Fitment 2011, I remember why I love what we do, it's not the cars it's the people.  It's the people we meet and the friendships we make that really keep this scene alive.  Last week our community lost Liberty VIP member Brendan Kennedy to a tragic motorcycle accident. Please follow the jump for more photos, and how you can help out! Read More »

This past Saturday Hard Parked and StateOfStance hosted the Summer Meat Meet At Markham Park in Weston, FL. It had been a while since I'd gone to anything stance related here in Miami, so it was refreshing to see how big the scene has gotten down here. You'll probably recognize a bunch of familiar cars, some with new wheels and some even lower than they were the last time you saw them. The best part about the meat/meet for me was the eclectic showing of cars that turned out. Everything from slammed Miatas to muscle cars, aired out VWs to Nissan GTRs, Hondas to Mustangs, you get the idea. I'm not sure anyone did an official count, but there was a HUGE turnout. The actual show area was filled within the first hour or so and cars were lined up around every surrounding road. If this is the kind of showing we got all the way down in Miami, I can't wait to see what shows up at Simply Clean 3 in November up in Sanford. Hope you guys enjoy the photos! Read More »

I could sit here and go on and on about how “less is more” but honestly that isn’t always the case. Now if you manage to break a few necks or cause a couple accidents at stop lights due to how your car hugs the ground like a hippy hugging a tree then some credit is due for some serious taste. Well Lukasz Zawistowski is due for some major credit as his neck-breaking and slammed S2000 makes for serious health concerns for local Northeasterners. Read More »

The BB Prelude chassis seems to have become a forgotten chassis when people talk about Hondas. You see Civics, Integras and even some Accords are plastered across the internet everywhere you look. But you rarely see a Prelude, and done right I might add, when you are looking through the pages and pages of photo-shoots. Sure some come to mind but not nearly as many as the previously mentioned but never fear Canibeat is here to add one more Prelude to your memory bank of BB’s to mention next time you and your buddies are talking shop.

It's been a while since the guys at LTBMW put on an event so what better way to end the summer by having one right? Plenty of BMW's showed up as usual just like any LTBMW meet. It could be considered one of the largest California or even west coast gatherings of BMW's (the largest being the annual Bimmerfest). This event wasn't just all about Bimmers though as not only did other Euros show up but there was even a strong showing from the JDM and VIP scenes.  It just goes to show that true car enthusiasts can except all kinds of cars and makes.

I've been around the car scene for a while now and I can honestly say I've never felt more welcomed at a meet than Wrong Fitment Crew's Summer's End Meet. It was my first time at a Wrong Fitment Crew meet and it felt as if I had known everyone for years. Granted I do lurk the forums quite a bit, I never knew that a variety of car enthusiasts could get along so well. I guess if you look deeper into the whole reasoning behind the creation of Wrong Fitment Crew, you'd understand. It's all about the love for, well, wrong fitment. It doesn't matter what car you drive or the make(s) you prefer, it's all love and everyone's welcome. Read More »

This past Saturday Mayday Garage hosted the Wekfest Texas Pre-Meet at Baker Nissan in Houston. It rained a bit before the show but it cleared up before everything got underway and everyone had a great time! Lots of great cars showed up and it'll only be better at Wekfest in Dallas on October 15th. Hope you guys enjoy the photos! Read More »

Last October we held our first event, First Class Fitment, at the Princeton Airport in Princeton, New Jersey. We couldn’t have been happier with the quality and variety of cars in attendance, and all year people have been asking if we were going to be hosting another show this year. Well we are happy to announce that we will be continuing this Fall tradition with First Class Fitment 2011 at the airport on Saturday, October 15th ! Once again we have planned an event focused more on the quality of cars in attendance rather than the quantity. Although we pride ourselves on featuring a variety of cars on Canibeat some functional and some not so much, we are looking forward to seeing the finest fitted cars in the East again this year!

When turning 16 most of have memories of beat-up cars or cars that you would try hiding in when you drove around to start with. Of course we drove them around like race cars and thought we were hot sh*t (you know you did so don’t lie). But as the years started to go by we slowly worked our ways to cars that were something we were pleased with. Erick Wei is one of those guys that just kept moving forward. He started his driving life with a 92 Civic that was an autotragic but has worked his way to this fine Honda S2000 that graces your screen today. Read More »

The Japanese Classic Car Show is one of those annual events you really don't want to miss. It's one of those events that is not subject to a certain age range, style, or enthusiast. Everyone and anyone can enjoy JCCS simply due to the fact that the rare cars, bikes, and "relics" displayed are part of history. If the Natural History Museum was a car show, JCCS would be it. We can really take a look and marvel at how these classic JDM cars have evolved and transformed into their modern day counterparts. All of them have played an extremely crucial part in contributing something to the car industry as we know it. Some technology dating back to the 60's and 70's is still being installed onto the cars we drive today. It's simply amazing being able to appreciate shows like these. Read More »
