Stanced Cars

To the general public, the car is seen simply as a means of transportation whose sole purpose is to get you where you need to go. However, when does a car become more than just a car. Miguel’s show-stopping 1992 Honda Civic is much more than an average daily; it’s embellished with character and every part tells it’s own story. Read More

Leaving a good impression is something we all want to do in this lifetime. Whether it’s helping someone out in a jam, being a polite host, or just being a stand up person, everyone strives to leave a lasting mark on this earth.  Like so many of us, David “Slim” Whitehead wanted to make sure he built a car that left a lasting impression. His plan for the RSX you see in front of you was to be a nice signature; not over the top but something clean and tidy. At first sight, it's easy to understand why this car stands out in a field of many; the color, the wheels, the engine work, and everything about it  just flow so well together. David, having done most of the work himself, is always happy to receive the looks and questions from people that come across this unique Acura. Read More

We can all relate to childhood fantasies of owning a wide variety of dream cars. Mark recalls driving past a billboard advertising the “All New 500hp BMW M5” when he was an aspiring adult. Little did he realize that this exact car would be adorning his garage in the near future. With a growing family, Mark found the perfect balance between family sedan, and show-stopping elegance. The BMW e60 M5 has arguably some of the most gorgeous lines a car could ever wear. Read More

Whether it was sports, homework, or learning how to ride a bike, chances are your father was by your side, teaching you what you know today; passing down lessons and tradition is how families extend love and knowledge to their younger generation. Up in the Pacific Northwest in Everett, Washington, that father-son relationship was more than early Sunday morning football sessions in the backyard; it was Dad’s prize possession sitting beautifully in the garage.

To be completely honest, I didn't expect much from this KIA when it was first posted by Carlos Villanueva on our local Atlanta forum. Carlos had recently traded in his light modified Suzuki Aerio for the black Koup, and seemed to have serious ambition for the humble Forte. Read More

A lot of cars in the "scene" these days strive for pure function over form. No one really wants to throw expensive wheels, suspension, and lip kits on their car just to thrash it around and ruin what they paid for... that is, until you take a look at the We Drift Crew from Melbourne, Florida. They have been cranking out purpose-built rides for years and their own resident Hot Boi, Khashaud Parsan (aka Camel Style), makes sure to keep the status quo in check. Camel's 1993 240sx was built with performance in mind and it shows. When looking at this beautiful Nissan, you can instantly tell the car was built to be aggressive, unique and, most of all, proven on the drift track. As an old friend to the car game, Camel has built a few cars and having dabbled in the Nissan scene previously, he knew what he wanted to do. Read More

"I have always envisioned my car to be the best I can get it to." Jan Martin Villanos, known simply as "Martin", described what he has always conceived of his first vehicle that will carry the signature VIP features. Making the best of something is what Martin can implement on himself. As a corpsman in the U.S. Navy, Martin's career is one not easily feasible by just anyone. In charge of mobilizing reservists and sending them overseas for their mission, Martin's work involves making sure whoever is putting their lives on the line for the country are both mentally and physically qualified for the job. In 2006, Martin was based in Atlanta, Georgia and despite his love for his Toyota AE86, he knew he needed a reliable, daily-driven vehicle that would take him wherever the Navy would and combined with his earnest automotive hobby, it resulted in this alluring Lexus GS430.
