Stanced Cars

To many of us, a car becomes more than just a vehicle that gets us from point A to point B. Our relationship with our car becomes much more than just hopping in, strapping our seatbelt, and turning the key. The bond that forms becomes a passion, and to others that simply don’t understand, a seeming obsession. André and his Scirocco share this common bond amongst automotive enthusiasts, and he has gone to great lengths to transform his base model Scirocco into something special. Read More

HONDA DAY events cater to the vast Honda enthusiasts gathered together to celebrate anything Honda. Honda Day comprises of two events; one on April 13 and 14th at Atco Raceway in New Jersey, and one on August 10th and 11th in Englishtown, New Jersey.  This was my first time attending Honda Day, and I was really overwhelmed at the amount of people that were in attendance last weekend at Atco.  I've been thinking of visiting the E-Town event since I was told that the English Town event packs even more spectators and vehicles. Would be interesting to see. Originally I did not attend the event with the intention to provide coverage, however as I walked and checked out the vehicles that were present, I naturally wanted to capture the imagery and lifestyle and share it with our viewers and followers.  I managed to snag my buddy's Canon T3, a far cry from my usual gear, however it did surprisingly well!  Special thanks to Jason Cao for letting me use his camera, and the whole PSI crew out of Rochester, NY who I drove up with.   Also helping me with this one was Hieuy Truong from AZN photography in Rochester who assisted by providing some juicy wide angle shots to give us a different perspective.

For this week's #PictureMeRollin, our photographer Iggy McCarthy submitted some rolling shots of this beautiful mk1 Jetta Coupé. Now, we love to see period correct styling on these classics, and Alejandro made an awesome choice with these staggered, 3-piece basket-weave Epsilon wheels, coming in at 16"x7.5" in the front and 8" in the rear. A timeless design on these early Volkswagens are just what the doctor ordered! Thanks for the photos Iggy! Read More

We all hear stories of “those kids down the street” with the car(s) that wake up the whole neighborhood. Well, for the neighbors adjacent to the Taylor family, those kids would be Nick and his twin brother Nate. Both Nick and Nate grew up wrenching on cars before they could even drive; helping their father build and modify cars became a huge influence on their involvement in the car scene now. Nick, the owner of this beautiful Miata gives us an inside look at the story of his slammed little roadster, and his inspiration behind his build. Read More

I have to say, this is probably my favorite #PMR to date. I reached out to Chadwick, who, as most of you probably already know, is the man behind transforming our cars to look like Micro Machines! Well, Chad was kind enough to collaborate with us and send over some of the rolling shots that have been submitted to him for the Fundraiser for Cory Burgess' fight against Cystic Fibrosis. Many thanks go out to all of the participants and donations this fundraiser has received, it's so awesome watching an automotive community come together for such a good cause! Also, a big thanks to the photographers of each image, without you, these images would not exist. Don't forget to check out the #Shrinkallthecars Meet put together by Jess Kang with help from Chad Kreiling and Katie Buehl this weekend in Philadelphia! Read More

We all know that Philadelphia is known for it's famous cheesesteak sandwiches, but up until the weekend I went to check out the Fresh Meet Events & Tuner Evolution Spring Bash, I was a cheeseteak novice. Now, the purpose of my trip wasn't just to finally taste a Philly cheesesteak, but to hang out with the guys of LowLifeStyle x JunkStyles crew (both from PA) and to see what's happening with the East Coast for 2013.

Another week has gone by and we're just as ready for the weekend as you guys. This week's #PMR submission comes from overseas; England to be exact. I came across Paul Cooks work through my constant photo digging and spotted this Volkswagen Polo. Yet another neat little hatch that Volkswagen never let the United States have. This one here, owned by Luke Ross looks great! Thanks for the awesome pictures Paul! Read More

It's hard to imagine a life without the internet. Just about every hot new build in the car scene can be discovered with it, new cars are popping up everyday that no one has ever seen before and because of web, it is possible for you and I to see, and share these builds with the world. We sometimes take the internet for granted, but without it so many magnificent builds would go unheard of and everyone would have to go to an event to see them (and we all know not all cars make it out to those).

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.

We here at Canibeat hope your week rolled by just as quick as ours did.

Oh, did I mention this black beauty has over 700 horsepower under the hood? Read More
