These pictures were taken at a scrapyard in Japan; therefore, the above image is very much the way things should be. The below image on the other hand leaves you with a sense of bewilderment.

I spotted this muscle-car/mafia spec Volkwagen in Prague on my Euro adventure the summer of 2010. I’ve never been one for bugs but this one was pretty rugged – chopped top, flushed out wheels with a bit of meat, limo tint, etc.
Timeout: USDM on JDM

I’m sure it is safe to make the statement that per capita there are more USDM cars rolling on JDM wheels in Japan than in the United States. Here we have a Chevy Camaro on Work VS-XX wheels (I believe, someone speak up and confirm!). If it were lowered a bit, it could pull off [...]

If this was my car, I wouldn’t even mess with cones and barriers. I’d being going armed guards and rottweilers all the way.
Timeout: Shakotan Boogie Revisted
Posted in Steve, Timeout, tagged c210, low, shakotan, skyline, wide on January 7, 2012 | 1 Comment »
On a drive very similar to the first time I stumbled across the Shakotan Boogie Skyline from this post, it happened again. There it was basking in the sun off to the side of a parking lot. After rereading my previous post, it seems my guess that it was coming out of storage was spot [...]

While checking ferry times in Tallinn, Estonia, last summer, I caught this rally spec’d Ford Fiesta (Festiva?) getting ready to be loaded for the short trip to Helsinki, Finland. I let my buddies go inquire about times and I snapped some pics and observed.

C&Y Sports’ main office is on mainland but, to our good fortune, they opened a shop here in Okinawa a few years back. They do crazy motor swaps. It’s their thing. It’s what they are known for. It’s what got them noticed.
Timeout: “Please no” C33 Laurel
Posted in Steve, Timeout, tagged aero, C33, laurel, nissan on June 20, 2011 | 2 Comments »
This Laurel sits at one of the popular junkyards. I’m not sure what it looks like currently but, when I took this pic, I was pretty much in love with it. Noteworthy points: 1. The front fenders are vented not widened. They looked to be stock metal with large vents and mesh installed. 2. The [...]
