The last time we saw Pat’s R32 was just over a year ago, sporting one of many wheelsets the car has seen throughout Pat’s possession. This time around, Pat collaborated with Dave and the guys at Straight Line Autowerks to unveil one of the cleanest mk4’s we have seen to date. Read More
Michigan knows the true meaning of rough. The state has been through some serious shit the last decade and the people who live there know better than anyone; if there's an obstacle, there is a way to overcome it. Derek Box is one of those people. If someone tells him it can't be done, he does it, and makes it look easy. Read More
With every car meet, car show, car event, whatever you want to call it; there is always that one car that stands out to you personally. Everyone will have a different stand out car all depending on your style and taste. The exciting thing about going to an event is the possibility of coming across that one car that changes your taste or style. For me Ben Kwitek’s Volkswagen Caddy was an eye opener for me when pouring through all the coverage of the Wekfest Chicago event last year. With all the coverage out there on numerous sites and flickr accounts it seemed like his Caddy had slipped through the cracks. Read More

Wekfest East 2012: Edison, NJ (Official Photo Coverage)
The time finally rolled around, and our group from the Midwest were stoked. We managed to get our WekEast weekend started bright and early with a long train of cars caravanning together from the Chi to the Garden State. Our caravan of cars was so big, from all over Chicago and its surrounding suburbs, that we had to meet in Indiana as our first meeting point. Mind you, this is only group one. We had a second group leaving the next day as well. Read More

If you had asked any one of us three years ago what events we thought we would be attending in 2012, we probably would have guessed Import Alliance, Eibach, and Wekfest... and for the most part we would have been right. What I don't think any of us could have ever imagined was traveling to California this summer to co-host our own event! Read More
With its sixth installment this year, Eurowerks kicked off Saturday morning in quite the trending fashion. A dark cloud cover and rain greeted the early risers on Saturday morning, just as it had in previous years. Thankfully, as show time approached, the inclement weather retreated into the distance. Staff was busy making sure everything was in place for over 300 cars that filled the parking lots adjacent to the historical Grain Belt Brewery in downtown Minneapolis, MN. Read More
Depth of Speed: Back To Life from Josh Clason on Vimeo.
One of my favorite videographers out there, Josh Clason, has brought us a brand new video which is apart of his Depth of Speed series which is in its second year. Every episode brings you an in-depth look at a piece of the car scene no matter the decade its from or the country where it originates from. This time Josh brings us Joel's 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit out of the Twin Cities. A truly amazing video so sit back relax and enjoy... and then make sure to check out even more of the series on Josh's Vimeo page as they are all astounding as this one.
One of the most interesting things about working with Canibeat or really any car site, are the people and cars that you come across along the way. With every interview I do, I will be surprised with the journey each car and owner has made along the way. I’ve had the chance to do write-ups on some truly amazing cars across the globe but for me the story behind each car is normally even better than how amazing it looks in a photographer’s lens. Ron Nicolas just so happens to be one of those owners as he is the owner of a jaw-dropping MK4 GTI but the story behind his GTI makes it that much better. Read More
It has been over a year since the very first time I asked Vinny Castrogivanni if I could take a photo of his car. With my newly obtained camera, I snapped away with the utmost awe for his MK5 GLI Fahrenheit and with every click over the course of the next several months, I recognized the true beauty of this masterpiece, detail by detail, shot by shot. But above the appearances and polished looks, I learned the true bond between a man and his car and how perseverance truly does pay off. Read More
Andrew Rasmussen's MK3 fits the definition of proper to a tee. It's distinctive, fitted, and adapts to any circumstance. Read More
