Winter is upon us, and the decision of what to drive throughout the inclement weather is drawing near. Do you go the reliable route with something large, heavy, truck-like? Or keep it subtle yet aggressive with one of the many turbo/AWD contenders on the market? David Charland (or “DeeSan”) had a completely different idea altogether; a 350Z!? Read More »

There are few experiences as amazing as stepping into a new car. Every sense is stimulated by the freshest in ICE technologies, the sounds of the newest engines, and that oh-so-distinctive, irreplicable new car smell. The cars that are being made today are faster, better-appointed, and more efficient than ever. And yet, the vintage scene is larger than it's ever been before. Classic muscle car enthusiasts are currently spending tens of thousands of dollars creating Pro-Touring cars out of 35 year old Detroit iron, import fans are hunting down seemingly forgotten Japanese performance models, and wheel companies are re-releasing wheels that five years ago would have been easily found in a junkyard. Every time the scene delivers an unworldly 1000 HP GTR or LF-A, a mint condition Hakosuka or 2000GT rises up from the annals of history to remind us that newer doesn't exactly mean better.

With every new model release comes new potential. Every year, car enthusiasts watch new vehicles hit the show floors across the world at shows in Detroit, Las Vegas and Tokyo and the first thing that comes to mind is how much better that car would look if _______________ was done to it. Seeing commercials, show coverage and photoshopped pictures of the new models exponentially increases the anticipation of how it can be modified. Whether it’s a certain set of wheels, a slight or dramatic drop, or specific exterior modifications, we can all picture it and build a full show car in our minds (with those imaginary, unlimited funds we also possess) before we even see it in person. After the car hits the showroom floor and goes up for sale, everyone anxiously awaits the first person to start modifying it. It’s a heavy weight Dan Allard has once carried on his shoulders but when he started modifying his Vauxhall Corsa, all eyes were on him and he did anything but disappoint… Read More »

Usually when you hop on your computer or phone, tap in Canibeat.com, and let the page load, you find yourself overwhelmed with shots of imports or European cars that seem to be closer to the pavement than you were to your date in high school. From time to time though, we like to throw you a curve-ball and today we have the honor of introducing to you Mark’s bagged crew-cab dually Chevy truck, which is big enough to have its own zip code.

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!

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!

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 »
