Stanced Cars

Two weekends ago was Winterfest 2012 and I am truly proud to say, this is a Florida grown meet. From last year at Route 46 to this year at the Tampa Executive Airport, the meet just becomes more impressive by the year. Watching the show fill up was a real treat; it gave the Florida scene a real jolt of life as the hanger and air strip filled up with some of The Sunshine State's finest. Canibeat, of course, was in the house to chill and see what the crew from I Love Driving Slow had to offer. And don't think this meet for adults only; ILDS had a special area for the kids too. The whole event surrounded a toy drive for the Toys 4 Tots foundation. All in all, the day was a success with around 1000 cars making an appearance at Winterfest. Read More

Here at Canibeat, we take great pleasure in watching cars develop from bare shells to show stoppers.  From motor swaps to pulled fenders to custom interiors, it’s a distinct joy to follow builds and eventually feature these cars we’ve grown to love.  Most cars, however, don’t stay in one state for very long these days and as a result, we love bringing back our “alums” for a Homecoming of sorts and putting their hard work and new modifications back on our homepage for your visual pleasure.

Some thick fog rolled through my area and after not being able to access a few locations I wanted to shoot at, I settled for this cemetery location nearby my house. The silence of a winter morning, thick fog, and atmosphere of the location made it pretty creepy.

In the culture of modified cars, there is a preconceived notion that more is better. Cody Gronbach from Sayville, New York shows us that simple and clean can be just as satisfying. Go to any car enthusiasts and most likely, they will tell you stories about their very first vehicle. It is something to be remembered, as it likely holds the foundation of where their passion stemmed from, and how it has made them the enthusiast that they are today. Several cars later, we find ourselves submerged into this lifestyle of customization with the knowledge and the tools to achieve the look, the purpose, and the pride of our cars. However, for Cody Gronbach residing along the shorelines of Sayville, Long Island, New York, his first car became his platform and he got it down just right. Read More

In economics, there is something called Opportunity Cost which is defined as “the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action.” Put in simpler terms, it is what you missed out on by making a certain choice instead of the other. We experience this in our daily lives from small decisions like where to eat, to larger decisions like…. cars. Evan Harwig is no different, but this feature isn’t about what he missed out on so much as it’s about what he did to realize his dream and get that sweet, sweet taste of what he always wanted deep down. It’s a story about true love and how other options may have been good enough, but not what one REALLY wanted. Read More
